Ms. Diviner: The Prodigal Daughter's Return

Chapter 293: 293 is so vulnerable.

”Oh, is that so? Since you have a family mission to attend to, I suppose I shouldn’t stop you,” Jiang Yuzhe said as he shook his folding fan.

Hearing these words, Mu Ze was overjoyed.

Mu Hanyan shook her head. This Mu Ze, although he pretended to be mature beyond his years, was actually too naive. Did he really think that Jiang Yuzhe was a fool, to be so easily deceived?

Sure enough, Jiang Yuzhe immediately added another sentence, causing Mu Ze’s smile to freeze on his face.

”But what if you run away afterwards? Whom should I find then?” Jiang Yuzhe asked, his expression turning cold.

”Rest assured, I, Mu Ze, am a man of my word and will never go back on it,” Mu Ze quickly said.

”Sorry, I don’t trust you. How about this, let Mu Yuying stay here, and I’ll let you go. When you come back to fight with me, she can leave,” Jiang Yuzhe said.

”No way!” Mu Yuying immediately objected.

After all, the whole mishap was due to her impetuousness. It was the Jiang Family Master and the Third Elder who acted on their own, yet she blamed everything on Jiang Yuzhe, which angered him.

Mu Yuying felt guilty in her heart and, inevitably, felt like a thief with a guilty conscience, fearing that if she fell into his hands, who knew how he would humiliate her in every possible way. Therefore, she resolutely refused.

Jiang Yuzhe glanced at Mu Yuying indifferently and said nothing, his cold gaze still fixed on Mu Ze.

Mu Ze, however, said nothing and hesitated, seemingly torn and on the verge of speaking. Under no circumstances did he want to be beaten up in front of everyone in the main hall; he didn’t want the prestige he had so hard-won to vanish in a flash.

But leaving Mu Yuying behind, who knew what disgrace she would suffer? He knew all too well the character of these family playboys; there was even a prime example in his own house. What if Jiang Yuzhe had the same quirks as Mu Han, then Yuying’s reputation would be completely ruined.

”Big brother Mu Ze, you mustn’t agree to him. It’s just a fight, right? I’ll stand by your side, and we’ll fight him together. Even if we can’t win, I will never back down,” said Mu Yuying, who was much more resolute than her brother.

Her statement only made Mu Ze feel resentful. It sounded good, fighting side by side against Jiang Yuzhe, but where was she when he was being beaten last time?

He was beaten for no reason, and it was remembered against him—all because of her. She was fine, standing there without any pain. If it really came to blows, would anyone really hit a girl hard? It would still be him getting beaten, wouldn’t it?

”Yuying, the last incident was all because of you, and you should bear the responsibility. Stay in Xiaoyang City for now, and I will come to get you after my business is finished,” Mu Ze thought more and more furiously and couldn’t be bothered to stand up for Mu Yuying anymore.

”What, you... you’re actually leaving me here?” Mu Yuying’s face turned pale.

Mu Xitian, Mu Jie, and others also changed their expressions; they had not anticipated that Mu Ze would just sell out Mu Yuying like that. She was their sister, not by direct blood but still a third-generation relative.

Was this really the Mu Ze big brother they knew? They had always thought of him as an insurmountable mountain, shielding them from the wind and rain, clearing away any hardships and dangers for them. Yet, they hadn’t expected him to be so weak, so easily defeated.

Zirong and Huayue exchanged glances, both seeing the disdain for Mu Ze in each other’s eyes.
