"I didn't do anything to you, you don't have to scream." The man stood at the door, looking at Mu Yaxi, who was shivering in bed like a frightened bird. In addition to the indelible hatred and coldness in his eyes, there was also some curiosity and scrutiny.
"Who are you? Why are you holding me?" Although Mu Yaxi didn't want to lose the momentum first, his voice still trembled uncontrollably.
Luo Youyou, Yin Zhan and the others were all outside the door, but like last time, the room was enchanted and no one could get in. This time, the barrier was so strong that even Lang Bai couldn't kick it open.
"Who am I?" The man laughed wickedly, a smile that was somewhat bitter and self-deprecating. "You should ask Xu Wan and Mu Long."
Mu Yaxi was stunned. She looked at the man in front of her carefully. The arrogance that was inadvertently revealed between his eyebrows was somewhat similar to her own. As a man, he also inherited the smooth skin of the Mu family, which was white enough to make women scream with jealousy. The outline of his chin and the barely visible mole under his lip were exactly like Mu Long. She suddenly understood something and was no longer as scared as before. "You are a descendant of the Mu family." was the conclusion, without any doubt, but why neither her mother Xu Wan nor her father Mu Long mentioned the existence of this person.
"To be precise, I am your half-brother."
The outside world suddenly became quiet, and the air in the room froze. A life-and-death feud that had originally been unexplained became a private affair of the Mu family. However, the people outside still stood at the door, listening carefully. After all, they were descendants abandoned by the Mu family. One of the two people inside had lived a luxurious life like a princess since childhood, while the other had gone through a miserable life to have such a deep hatred for Mu Yaxi, killing her without even saying a word.
"So, are you here to take revenge on the Mu family?"
"I wish I could cut everyone in the Mu family into pieces and bury them with my mother!" The man's eyes were bloodshot and his gaze was vicious. If looks could kill, then at this moment, Mu Yaxi would have been cut into pieces.
Mu Yaxi shuddered and his voice weakened, "I don't know anything."
"Why do you get to know nothing? Why do you get to live so innocently? Why do I have to live in hell?" The man began to laugh wildly, almost madly, and almost every word was squeezed out from between his teeth. "Mu Yaxi! You are the princess of the Mu family, high above everyone else, and you have never had to worry about food and clothing since childhood. My mother and I have to work hard to make a living. We often don't have enough to eat or wear warm clothes. I can't even have the surname Mu. Tell me, why!"
Mu Yaxi was speechless. Why? She didn't know why.
"I suddenly feel that killing you directly would be too easy. Do you know how Xu Wan died? Her death was too easy. I can't let you die so easily. I want you to watch me kill Mu Long and overthrow the Mu family, so that you can also taste all the pain I have experienced!"
The man said this and swaggered open the door. He cast a barrier around himself, so no one could get close to him. Just like that, after threatening Mu Yaxi, he walked away from everyone's eyes. But before leaving, he glanced at Xiaozhuang, gave him an ambiguous smile, and said, "I told you, you don't look like one of them."
Xiaozhuang shuddered. They had only met once, and she had let him go out of pity, only to be made to act like a spy. She quickly explained, "I really don't know him."
But no one listened to his explanation. Luo Youyou and Yin Zhan had already rushed to Mu Yaxi, and Yuri and Lang Bai followed.
Mu Yaxi's eyes were glazed over, his body stiff, as if the world had collapsed. Xu Wan had committed suicide a few years ago, leaving behind a suicide note that contained only deep love for Mu Long and Mu Yaxi. Before her suicide, everything was so beautiful, without any signs, including this ambiguous suicide note, which left everyone confused. She had no reason to commit suicide.
But all the results of the investigation showed that she committed suicide. Mu Yaxi hated her. Why did she leave them, father and daughter, and bring them endless pain? It took them several years to get over the pain of losing her. Now she understood that Xu Wan did not want to die, but for some reason, she had to die, so she left such a suicide note.
But if this half-brother had started his revenge years ago, why did he reappear so many years after Xu Wan's death?
"Youyou, can we postpone our plan to go to heaven? I have to go home." After a long time, Mu Yaxi just raised his head like a shell, looking at Luo Youyou with wandering eyes, but there was no reflection of her in it.
"We'll go back with you."
......
The Mu family's residence sat on the plains between Pingqu and Miaoshan. Hundreds of meters of land encompassed the Mu family's land. "Luxury" was an inadequate description for this estate. The gate, a palisade, was gilded with gold, as if to conceal the family's wealth. Two stone sculptures stood at the entrance, their craftsmanship evident in the work of a master. Beyond the gate lay a vast meadow, where several horses leisurely paced. Beyond the meadow lay the owner's mansion. Most astonishingly, behind the mansion lay a small amusement park, complete with a carousel, a Ferris wheel, a miniature train, and even go-karts...
Mu Long was already waiting at the door with a group of neatly dressed servants, his mouth almost stretched to his ears. Mu Yaxi came to greet him as soon as he got out of the car, "Are you tired? Come in, the bath water is ready. Take a bath to relieve your fatigue, and then come down to eat."
Mu Yaxi just stared at him expressionlessly, a mixture of emotions washing over her for a moment. In her memory, her father and mother had always been very loving. Unlike other wealthy men who lived a life of debauchery, no matter how big his business became, he would always return home on time every day to be with them, and would occasionally prepare little surprises. The gifts he brought back weren't fancy, expensive purchases like other fathers; each one was thoughtfully crafted. Sometimes, he would even send Xu Wan away just to enjoy a romantic moment for two.
Happiness and satisfaction are the best cosmetics for women. Xu Wan never deliberately maintains her appearance, but she always looks so young, with a happy smile on her face. Mu Yaxi couldn't believe that this happy family in her memory had also staged such a melodramatic drama like other wealthy families.
"What's wrong? Why are you unhappy? Are you tired?" Mu Long waved his big hand in front of Mu Yaxi, looking a little worried.
Although Mu Yaxi has already grown up, every time she sees Mu Long, she throws herself on him and acts like a child, as if she will never grow up. This time, she didn't even know how to start. Even the greeting was stuck in her throat, making her eyes sore.
"It's been more than 20 years, why do I suddenly have a brother?" Mu Yaxi said with a sob.
"Brother?" Mu Long looked confused. "What do you mean?"
