CHAPTER 494: CHAPTER 494: THOSE WHO WON’T LET HER HAVE PEACE, WON’T HAVE PEACE EITHER!

Yan Qianyi burst out laughing, "Well, Chu Hua, you’ve learned to mock people now."

Chu Hua explained, "I’m not mocking you, becoming your good friend really makes me feel proud."

"Really?" Yan Qianyi looked at her skeptically, "Then mimic what I just said to Mu Huaner."

"Really! I think you looked so confident when you spoke to her, it was very cool. How could I possibly mock you, I love you too much to do that—come on, let me give you a kiss."

"Stop it!" Yan Qianyi quickly dodged.

While the two were playfully arguing, they suddenly heard an argument coming from ahead.

Yan Qianyi stopped walking and looked in the direction of the sounds.

It was Mu Ziqing and Mu Zixuan, they were standing there arguing about something.

Chu Hua quietly asked, "Who are they?"

Yan Qianyi said, "They’re Mu Yunlie’s eldest and second cousins."

"Then... should we still go over there?"

Yan Qianyi thought for a moment, "Let’s take another path, that should also lead to Grandfather’s study."

She didn’t want to get involved in unnecessary matters, especially since she was here at the Mu Family for something important today.

As they were about to leave, suddenly they heard a loud "slap," Mu Zixuan has slapped Mu Ziqing hard.

"Mu Ziqing, do you think you’re something special now that Yan Qianyi is backing you?"

Mu Ziqing, covering her face, glared at Mu Zixuan while holding back her anger, "I never felt like anyone was backing me, I’ve just endured your torment for too long! I thought if I backed down, you wouldn’t keep bothering me, but you just became more aggressive!"

"As long as you stay in this family one more day, we will be irreconcilable! You better marry out quickly and not linger in the Mu Family!"

"I’m the Mu Family’s eldest granddaughter, and my mom was Dad’s first wife, why should I have to marry out while you get to bring men here?"

"Because your mom is already dead! The woman staying by Dad’s side now is my mom! If I were you, I’d have long understood to clear out! In our family, you are the excessive one—don’t you know that?"

Chu Hua watched the fiercely conflicting pair and clicked her tongue twice, "So arrogant. In my family, no little sister would dare to bully her elder sister."

Yan Qianyi walked over with a stern face.

She suddenly changed her mind and decided to meddle a bit more.

Mu Ziqing clenched her fist, choking back tears, "If it weren’t for my mom leaving, where would you and your mom come from? Mu Zixuan, I’ve been patient with you, don’t push me too far!"

"So what if I bully you? Unfortunately for you, Yan Qianyi isn’t here to help you today."

No sooner had Mu Zixuan’s words fallen than Yan Qianyi’s voice came through, "What a coincidence, I’m here again."

At that sound, Mu Zixuan stiffened all over.

She turned towards the source of the voice, mouth agape in surprise.

Damn!

It just had to be Yan Qianyi who saw this!

It was only four o’clock, she thought Yan Qianyi would only come at dinner time.

But she had arrived early.

Mu Zixuan gritted her teeth.

She had been giving Mu Ziqing trouble lately because the department store had been taken away by Yan Qianyi, and she didn’t dare confront Yan Qianyi directly, so she vented her anger on Mu Ziqing instead.

After all, Mu Ziqing had always been her punching bag.

Yan Qianyi walked up beside Mu Ziqing and asked, "Eldest sister, why didn’t you hit back when she hit you first? You’re not in the wrong. Even if it ends up at Grandfather’s, the worst will be both kneeling at the ancestral hall. She’s not making it easy for you, why should you make it easy for her?"

Yan Qianyi always lived by the principle that those who make her life difficult shouldn’t expect to have it easy themselves.

Mu Ziqing bit her lip and said nothing.

She wasn’t without resistance in the past.

But Mu Zixuan was more eloquent than her, better at playing pitiful in front of their father and grandfather.

During their childhood, whenever the sisters fought, she always ended up being the one punished.

Because the elders would say, she was the older sister, and should indulge her younger sister.

Gradually, she became accustomed to indulging Mu Zixuan, accustomed to keeping the peace.

"Third younger sister, what are you talking about?" Mu Zixuan’s smile stiffened as she forced the corners of her lips into a grin, "I didn’t bully her, she was the one who angered me first."

Yan Qianyi’s cold eyes shifted toward Mu Zixuan, scoffing, "I saw everything just now, you hit her again. It seems like the last punishment of kneeling in the ancestral hall didn’t teach you a lesson, you should kneel again."

Fear flashed in Mu Zixuan’s eyes.

At this moment, her facial expression was extremely comical.

Despite being very angry and despising Yan Qianyi, she restrained herself.

It seemed her features almost had nowhere to go.

"Third younger sister, this is a matter between my elder sister and me, please don’t interfere," Mu Zixuan said with a stiff smile, "I was just impulsive earlier, it won’t happen again."

Yan Qianyi’s sudden appearance had stolen the commercial project she had been preparing for half a year, and she almost gnashed her teeth in hatred.

But she dared not lash out at Yan Qianyi.

After all, Yan Qianyi was now pregnant and greatly favored by Old Master Mu.

Yan Qianyi took Mu Ziqing’s hand, "My elder sister and I get along very well, her matters are mine. You hit her, which means you hit me, and you must be punished."

Mu Zixuan quickly said, "Don’t tell grandfather; I’ll apologize to my elder sister, that’s it!"

She truly didn’t want to kneel in the ancestral hall again.

To kneel for twenty-four hours on the hard marble floor without a single drop of water to drink.

Last time she’d fainted and it took days to recover.

The almost deadly sensation was too terrifying; she didn’t want to experience it again.

Yan Qianyi raised an eyebrow, "Is an apology really enough?"

"What... what do you want me to do then?" asked Mu Zixuan.

"The slap you just gave to elder sister, you must return it," Yan Qianyi said then let go of Mu Ziqing’s hand.

Mu Zixuan’s eyes widened slightly.

Mu Ziqing also looked at Yan Qianyi in surprise.

Seeing no reaction from Mu Zixuan, Yan Qianyi grabbed Mu Ziqing’s hand, ready to leave, "Elder sister, let’s go. While the handprint on your face hasn’t faded yet, I’ll take you to grandfather."

"Don’t go!" Mu Zixuan quickly grabbed Yan Qianyi’s clothes, "Okay, I’ll let elder sister slap me back!"

Yan Qianyi smiled slightly, released Mu Ziqing, and raised her chin, "Elder sister, go ahead."

Mu Ziqing looked troubled, "Qianyi, maybe we should let this go."

She didn’t dare to hit Mu Zixuan, especially since Yan Qianyi didn’t always stay in the Mu family.

Once Yan Qianyi left, Mu Zixuan would intensify harassing her.

Just like in her childhood, when she would tell their father or grandfather, afterwards Mu Zixuan and Mu Zicheng would even more fiercely torment her.

And the stepmother would also make her life difficult.

Yan Qianyi said, "She keeps bullying you because she knows you’re afraid to confront her! Do you really want to endure this your entire life?"

Mu Ziqing silently lowered her head.

A smug smile slipped across Mu Zixuan’s lips.

She knew, Mu Ziqing truly dared not hit her!
