Defrosting The Cold Young Master-Chapter 1944 - 1948: What Was I Lied To About?

She had no way to deal with those stingy old folks, so she could only swallow her pride and endure it.

After years of mental sparring with Muu Qingwan, she always thought she was the victor.

But today, she was increasingly unable to tell whether she had won or lost.

Just now, after Ye Xingbei helped Muu Qingwan move things, her dad pulled her back into the room and earnestly advised her to get along well with Muu Qingwan.

Her dad told her that now Muu Qingwan and Ye Xingbei have a good relationship, and since Muu Qingwan is beautiful and outstanding, she might be able to meet some rich heirs through Ye Xingbei.

With some luck, she might marry into a wealthy family.

If Muu Qingwan marries well, it would be beneficial for both her brother and herself.

Her dad said, to put it bluntly, that if someone rises to power, those close to them gain as well.

If Muu Qingwan truly marries into a wealthy family, the Muu Family’s status will change dramatically.

Her dad advised her not to quarrel with Muu Qingwan anymore, to apologize sincerely to Muu Qingwan, and to become good sisters with her in the future.

She was always good at appeasing her parents, so even though she was seething with anger inside, she still obediently nodded in agreement.

But she didn’t care about anyone rising to power and others benefiting.

She didn’t want Muu Qingwan to rise to power, and she certainly didn’t want to be a beneficiary of Muu Qingwan’s success.

If anyone should rise to power, it should be her, not Muu Qingwan!

She angrily glared at Muu Qingwan’s departing figure, gritted her teeth, and strode towards the building where Ye Xingbei lived.

Standing outside the entrance of Ye Xingbei’s residence, Muu Qingwan pressed the doorbell.

Gu Junzhu and Ye Xingbei were about to take the two kids to rest in the bedroom when the doorbell rang.

Ye Xingbei glanced at the monitor and turned back to Gu Junzhu, saying: "It’s Wanwan’s sister."

Gu Junzhu slightly frowned, his expression a bit impatient.

"It’s okay," Ye Xingbei said, "We’re just traveling, nothing else to do, let’s see what she’s up to."

Ye Xingbei pressed the button on the monitor to open the door.

Muu Rushuang walked in.

Ye Xingbei opened the living room door, inviting her into the living room, "Miss Muu, is there something you need?"

"Yes," Muu Rushuang smiled shyly at Ye Xingbei, "Madam Gu, there’s something I want to discuss with you, may I sit down?"

Ye Xingbei looked at Gu Junzhu, "You take Xiao Shu and the others upstairs first."

Gu Junzhu nodded, "Make it quick."

Ye Xingbei responded, "I know."

Gu Junzhu took the two children upstairs, and Ye Xingbei sat down facing Muu Rushuang, "Miss Muu, I have to accompany the kids for a nap, so please be brief."

"Okay," Muu Rushuang looked at Ye Xingbei, speaking timidly: "Madam Gu, there’s something I want to tell you, it’s, it’s about my sister."

Ye Xingbei smiled, gesturing for her to continue, "Go ahead."

"Actually, if it weren’t absolutely necessary, I wouldn’t want to share these things with you," Muu Rushuang bit her lip, "It’s just... I can’t stand it anymore..."

Ye Xingbei smiled at her without speaking.

Muu Rushuang pressed her lips together awkwardly, lowering her gaze, "Madam Gu, I wanted to tell you, you have been deceived by my sister!"

"Oh?" Ye Xingbei raised her eyebrows with a smile, "What has Wanwan deceived me about?"

"Madam Gu, I know why you are so nice to Wanwan. It’s because you think she’s beautiful, pure, and lovable, but that’s all a facade!" Muu Rushuang said, "Madam Gu, you don’t know, but Muu Qingwan is actually very mean behind the scenes! She relies on her looks to string men along as backups, like Brother Qin Zhennuo. She clearly doesn’t like Brother Qin, yet she never makes it clear to him, always keeping him as a backup!"
