Mu Yefan shook his head, ”No, I just have some questions, let's talk outside.”
Bai Yihui was a little anxious, hearing Mu Yefan say that he would follow him outside, the two of them went to a small tavern, it was already very late, there were very few people inside the tavern, Mu Yefan's expression was still very hesitant, Bai Yihui asked after sitting down, ”What happened, Ye Fan, did something happen?
”No, Xiao Bai and Mrs. Shaw had a very good conversation. Actually, I have something that I want to ask you.”
”Tell me …” Bai Yihui frowned, not knowing what made him so hesitant.
”What did Mrs. Shaw say in the market today, exactly what happened at that time?” When Mu Yefan finally said those words, he felt as if a heavy burden had been lifted from his shoulders. His expression was strange for a moment, and then, it seemed to be as if he remembered what happened back then, as rage filled his eyes.
”Actually, the son of the Mrs. Shaw was just an inducement. It was mainly because of the slag man that Xuan Er met at that time.” The word ”slag man” was something that Bai Yihui had learned from him. Bai Yihui felt that the phrase ”slag man” was just right to describe him.
”Originally, Xuan Er and Zhang Zinan had already set up a marriage, and you may have never seen this Zhang Zinan before, but he is actually the son of a family in our village. However, he has rarely come out, and I don't know how he managed to mesmerize my sister to the point that she had to follow this Zhang Zinan wholeheartedly. Even my father couldn't do anything back then …”
After that, my father agreed to the marriage, but that time when my sister was teasing Mrs. Shaw's son, Xiao Yuancheng, when he was walking on the streets, my sister's mood wasn't very good. In the end, that Zhang Zinan didn't comfort my sister, and instead proposed to cancel the marriage. That night, my sister's mood was already not very good.
”Luckily we went there in time, my sister jumped into the river outside our village and committed suicide. When I carried her out, my sister's body became cold, and after finding a doctor, I told him that my sister was hopeless, but I don't know if it was a miracle or something …”
Bai Yihui paused, because he remembered his sister saying that he met a deity. He remembered what his father had warned him about, so in the end, he did not speak of this matter.
”My sister was still rescued, but she fell asleep for many days. At that time, our family really was about to collapse from the sky, and I don't know where that Zhang Zinan was worthy enough for my sister to do that for him. And only later on did I find out that the reason Zhang Zinan wanted to cancel the marriage with my sister was because he had gotten together with this Lord Xiao's daughter …”
Mu Yefan's expression didn't look good as he tightly clenched his fist. Bai Yihui seemed to have also noticed the change in Mu Yefan's mood and changed the subject.
”But everything is fine now, after this matter, my sister's character became more cheerful. In the past, my sister rarely talked to people, and did not have many friends, so she would not have any interesting thoughts, and my sister has truly forgotten about the slag man. The current Xuan Er is different from before, so this matter will not affect Xuan Er forever.”
”But I've never seen Xiao Bai this angry before.”
Bai Yihui knew that Mu Yefan was talking about Bai Yixuan's reaction after seeing him today. Bai Yihui felt that if not for Xiao Yuancheng seeing him today, she probably would not think about Xiao Yuancheng for the rest of her life.
Although Bai Yihui spoke a little bit reservedly, there were some things that he did not hide from Mu Yefan. That was, the Family sister had become very different after that incident.
On the other hand, Mu Yefan was thinking that it was no wonder that Bai Yixuan would always reveal such a sorrowful expression at times, maybe it was because of the past, but the two of them did not know what the other was thinking. It was just like how Bai Yihui would never know that some of the things Bai Yixuan told Mu Yefan were definitely not meant for him.
”Ye Fan, there shouldn't be any problems with Xuan Er. You should be worried about her, why didn't you personally ask her? If Xuan Er knew, he would definitely be very happy.”
”No, big brother, don't tell Xiao Bai either. I'm still afraid that Xiao Bai will feel awkward if he finds out about this.”
”It's not going to be, Xuan Er really doesn't take this matter seriously. At first, we were worried that Xuan Er would miss our relationship, but then I realised that Xuan Er really did not take the Zhang Family clansmen seriously anymore, so you really don't have to worry too much, as for Xiao Yuancheng meeting Xuan Er today, we can consider it his misfortune, but luckily, that mother of his was still reasonable.”
”What kind of person was Xiao Bai in the past?” Mu Yefan suddenly asked.
”You're still saying that you have no interest in my sister?” Bai Yihui teased and laughed. Mu Yefan also lowered his head slightly as he thought seriously.
If you say it like that, I really can't remember how Xuan Er looked in the past anymore. In any case, the difference is huge, my family's Xuan Er has always been an extremely shy girl, and normally, she would speak in a soft voice and never speak loudly to anyone, most of the time, she would stay at home to read or embroider flowers. At that time, the most outrageous thing Xuan Er would do was to get along with Zhang Zinan, because Xuan Er really doesn't care about anything for Zhang Zinan, and she doesn't need anything.
”We have never seen Xuan Er being so stubborn, that's why father agreed, it's such a pity, but if it wasn't for this incident, Xuan Er might not have become as cheerful as she is now, and we can relax now, and not worry about Xuan Er getting bullied anymore. In the past, when Xuan Er came out, we were extremely worried, but now, Xuan Er can only bully others, who dares to bully Xuan Er.”
