Chapter 156 - Yes Yes Yes
Upon seeing his elder sister, Shang Xiaojie promptly sought refuge in Mu Sifa's arms, his expression filled with fear. He had forgotten that Shang Minjie also resided in the Mu Family.
Mu Sifa understood that Mu Renying had probably informed him of the situation, but he believed his stance was clear enough. Yet, Shang Minjie still had the audacity to live here.
“Why shouldn't I be here? Legally speaking, I'm still your wife. And the Shang Xiaojie you're holding right now is an outsider who shouldn't be a part of this family.”
His tone and gaze were icy, devoid of the anger he had initially displayed.
Shang Minjie restrained herself, likely because they were currently in the Mu Family. If they were at home, she might have already slapped Shang Xiaojie.
Hearing himself referred to as an outsider, Shang Xiaojie lowered his gaze, disappointment welling up in his eyes.
He understood that what Shang Minjie said was true, and he knew he shouldn't contend with his elder sister for a man, especially when it was his brother-in-law. However, since Mu Sifa had a relationship with him, he couldn't act as if nothing had transpired. Most importantly, he had already fallen in love with Mu Sifa.
Naturally, Shang Xiaojie considered allowing Shang Minjie to marry Mu Sifa. After all, they were only a couple in name, and Mu Renying had also consented to Mu Sifa marrying him. However, Shang Xiaojie couldn't bear to harm Shang Minjie because he still regarded her as family.
“Haha, he's an outsider?” Mu Sifa chuckled, “I'm certain you're more aware than I am of who the real outsider is.”
“Since Uncle has agreed to let me compete with him fairly, I won't overstep my boundaries. I can pretend I didn't see anything.”
Surprisingly, Shang Minjie didn't get angry this time. She regained her composure and returned to her usual self.
She stated this as if she was permitting Mu Sifa to bring Shang Xiaojie home. Clearly, she lacked the authority to refuse, but she still exuded a haughty demeanor.
With that, she stood up, cast a cold glance at Shang Xiaojie, and wordlessly ascended the stairs.
Mu Sifa was naturally infuriated, detesting Shang Minjie's attitude.
Although Shang Xiaojie breathed a sigh of relief, the sorrow in his eyes deepened.
Big sister, does she despise me now?
Shang Xiaojie's hands clenched together; he couldn't deny feeling a sense of sadness.
“I don't want to get involved in your affairs; just handle it yourselves.” Hee Meier also rose from the sofa and coldly headed to the room on the first floor.
Though she didn't outright say she hated Shang Xiaojie, it was evident to him that Hee Meier had no fondness for him. This weighed heavily on Shang Xiaojie's heart.
“Madam!” Mu Renying followed her, likely to persuade her.
Mu Xiaoxiao sighed and shrugged helplessly. “Why make it such a big deal? It's just a competition! Half a year will pass in the blink of an eye!”
“Half a year? I'd go insane if I had to spend even a day with that woman, let alone half a year,” Mu Sifa fumed, still brooding over the matter.
“So, Third Brother, what's your plan? To kick Shang Minjie out directly? To let Xiaojie bear the stigma of being a mistress, for everyone to know?” Mu Xiaoxiao inquired.
Mu Sifa had only tolerated Shang Minjie due to this concern. Otherwise, she would have been expelled from the Mu Family long ago.
“What are you so worried about? Let's go to sleep; there's no school tomorrow!”
Ye Zichen scolded Mu Xiaoxiao, then carried Shang Xiaojie upstairs.
“Yes, yes, yes, I'm just in the way! Go ahead and enjoy yourselves.”
Truly, what kind of sibling was this? A complete lack of compassion for a member of the opposite sex.
