He knew, of course, that Yi Yi was innocent in today's farce. The reason he reprimanded her so harshly and framed her was because he was worried that the assassin might make a move, and given Yi Yi's temperament, she could easily get hurt. So he deliberately said those harsh words hoping that she would leave Fengqing Waterfront without any worries for the time being. Even going to find Chen Dudu would be better than staying here unsafely.
Once he successfully exposes the person behind the killer, he will definitely explain things to Yi Yi properly.
...
"You bastard Mu Nanxun, why don't you believe me? I hate you, I never want to talk to you again."
"You damn Mu Nanxun, you stinky Mu Nanxun, I'm going to find Dudu, I'm going back to the jungle with him. I'm never coming back."
"I'm really not coming back."
At first, Yi Yi was just angry, but as she spoke, her nose tingled and her eyes reddened. She had no idea that in just a few months, she had grown accustomed to having Mu Nanxun by her side and to relying on him.
The sudden decision to leave felt like a knife was cutting into her heart; the pain was excruciating.
But what saddened her even more was that he so easily believed Xia Bingqing's words, thinking that she was deliberately trying to harm Xia Bingqing.
This feeling of distrust was what made her so upset that she almost felt suffocated.
The further she walked, the more reluctant she became to leave.
"Even if you're leaving, they've taken you in for so long, you should thank them."
Yi turned around, took a few steps forward, and then felt it was inappropriate.
"Forget it, he doesn't care if you say thank you. He hates you so much, why would you go back and get in his way? I'm ashamed for you, even if you don't feel embarrassed."
So he turned around and stopped walking.
"Who said I was going to thank that annoying bastard? I'm going to thank Sister Wenya. Sister Wenya has been so good to me, and I didn't even get a proper goodbye when I left. And Aunt Li, Uncle Zhang, and Xiao Fang... they've all been so good to me."
"At the very least, I should express my gratitude to them before I leave."
"What if we never see each other again after this departure?"
Yi Yi finally convinced herself and began to return to Fengqing Waterfront.
Upon arriving at the entrance of Maple Waterfront, Yi Yi, with her sharp ears, heard a rustling sound. Looking closer, she saw two furtive figures hiding behind the dense vegetation.
"Hey, who are you people? What are you doing sneaking around here?"
The assassin lurking outside the villa area never expected that he would be discovered by a passing girl.
"I'm warning you, don't meddle in other people's business."
The lead assassin jumped out, striking a menacing pose, and pointed his gun at Yi Yi, who was standing not far away. He just wanted to scare her and make her leave quickly.
Yi didn't recognize it as a handgun and thought it was a camera or something used by reporters. Looks like paparazzi, trying to dig up gossip about Mu Nanxun.
Originally intending to completely sever ties with Mu Nanxun, Yi Yi suddenly decided to stop this group of "reporters."
So she stood there with her arms crossed, glancing at them sideways. "Don't even think about taking pictures of the Mu family's gossip. Get lost, or don't blame me for being impolite."
What gossip? Is this woman an idiot?
"What do you want to do?" The man placed his finger on the trigger, ready to pull it at any moment. Anyway, the pistol was equipped with a silencer; even if he fired it here, no one would know.
