After you sever ties, it's no use crying and regretting it.

Chapter 73 Sorry

Upon hearing his sister Lü Xinyan's words, Lü Muyi's back stiffened involuntarily.

He never expected that his little secret thoughts would be guessed by his sister and spoken so bluntly.

He did have some doubts about his sister, worrying that she might be an ingrate like Yuan Yutong, betraying the family's sincerity.

Because of the expectations, there is an even greater fear of being disappointed.

However, through his interactions with his sister, Lü Muyi's opinion of her has changed considerably, and he now understands that Lü Xinyan is definitely different from Yuan Yutong.

At least, by the time Lü Xinyan returned, she had already saved her elder brother Lü Muren, which could be considered as saving their family.

Having done so much, Lü Xinyan truly treated them differently.

Even so, Lü Muyi still remained wary, not wanting his family to be hurt again.

Now that her sister had so frankly brought up these issues, Lü Muyi felt embarrassed, but there was no need to continue hiding and deliberately denying them.

Especially after his sister said that she understood his thoughts and that the two of them had the most similar personalities, Lü Muyi also understood his sister Lü Xinyan's thoughts.

After pursing his lips, Lü Muyi still said, "Sister, I really don't dare to place my trust in her anymore."

“When Yuan Yutong was at home, she knew that our family treated her so well. She enjoyed our kindness while scheming against us and trying to bring trouble to our whole family!”

"This kind of thing has caused our whole family to suffer a serious betrayal. The experience of being ostracized and framed these past few days has made us extremely disappointed."

"None of us ever imagined that there could be such despicable and shameless people in this world, which has greatly shocked us."

After saying so much, Lü Muyi became even calmer.

Lu Muyi truly hates Yuan Yutong and still can't let go of it, but he hasn't lost control of his feelings.

When talking about these things with his sister Lü Xinyan, Lü Muyi was able to recount them more calmly and explain them clearly to Lü Xinyan.

Looking at his sister Lü Xinyan, Lü Muyi continued, "Because of this experience, it is indeed difficult for me to trust other people. I feel that even the people who treated us that way back then were just scheming and using us. They haven't changed after all these years, and have even become worse. So it's even harder to say about other people."

“My older sister just came back, and I’m afraid she might become like Yuan Yutong, so I don’t dare to trust her directly.”

"But now, after spending more time with my older sister, I realize that I was thinking the wrong thing and shouldn't have been affected by Yuan Yutong's mess."

"Sister, I'm sorry! I didn't adjust my mindset properly, and I misunderstood you."

Now that he knew his older sister, Lü Xinyan, was different, he still showed his suspicion and wariness towards her so obviously that she saw through it all. Lü Muyi felt very embarrassed.

After all these interactions, and this time when these issues were brought up directly, Lü Muyi was well aware that his sister, Lü Xinyan, was very intelligent and capable, and could understand his concerns and was willing to communicate with him about these issues.

This kind of sister is more like what he expected, which made Lü Muyi relax his suspicion and vigilance.

He knew that his sister, Lü Xinyan, was genuinely doing what was best for them and was truly helping them.

As for them, there are no other people worth scheming against for the time being. Since my sister has returned from the Yuan family, there is no need to deal with them.

If they truly harbored resentment towards them, then as long as Lü Xinyan didn't interfere, their entire family would likely lose their lives due to the targeting and torment of these villagers in Ningshui Village; no additional action would be necessary.

But as soon as her older sister Lü Xinyan returned, she did so much: she saved her eldest brother Lü Muren's life and prepared a cart and other things for them to leave Ningshui Village, which solved their immediate problem.

His sister has already done so much for them, far better than Yuan Yutong had ever been to them. He shouldn't doubt his sister anymore.

Even if the older sister really did have ulterior motives towards them, they had already gained a lot during this period of time.

Being able to survive, leave Ningshui Village, have a brand new life and a brand new start, and solve so many troubles in Ningshui Village—all of this is what Lü Muyi longed for.

Now that his wish has been fulfilled, Lü Muyi should be grateful to his sister Lü Xinyan.

If it weren't for her sister Lü Xinyan's timely return and help, they wouldn't have survived. So, they've really gained something from what they've learned so far.

After thinking about all this, Lü Muyi finally calmed down and was willing to open his heart and fully accept his sister Lü Xinyan.

Upon hearing his second brother Lü Muyi's apology and noticing the change in Lü Muyi's eyes, Lü Xinyan simply shook his head and said with a slight smile, "Brother Yi, there's no need to be so nervous. I didn't mean to blame you."

"We only met today and we're not familiar with each other yet. It's only right that you're being wary and cautious of me."

"Actually, I'm just like you. I don't easily trust others. I'm afraid of getting hurt because I trust others too easily, and I'm afraid that my sincerity will be misplaced. So I'm also wary of people I don't know well and I won't easily give my heart away."

"Moreover, given Yuan Yutong's example, everyone should be more careful in everything they do, which is only right."

It can be said that Yuan Yutong's betrayal caused great harm to the Lü family, especially Lü Muyi.

Lü Muyi's difficulty in trusting others is very similar to Lü Xinyan's own situation. Lü Xinyan understands this and doesn't hold any grudges against Lü Muyi because of it.

However, Lü Xinyan hoped that Lü Muyi would not go to extremes in this process, which could negatively impact the relationship between the siblings.

The family was finally reunited, and the two of them made their intentions clear. They could continue to be wary of each other, but on the surface, they should still get along well and not worry their family.

By the light of the torch, Lü Xinyan noticed that Lü Muyi had suddenly become nervous, as if he was afraid that she would leave them in anger. Lü Xinyan couldn't help but smile and said, "Brother Yi, now that I've said I'm back, I won't leave so easily."

"Besides, I'm not that petty. You don't need to worry that I'll storm off because I'm angry with you."

“My parents and you have all been very good to me. After we talked things out, we had no other thoughts, so there won’t be any problems getting along. I won’t leave because I’m angry and make a scene.”

"You don't need to worry about that. I'm not a capricious or unreasonable person."
