Chapter 1698

Mu Xiaojiu stared at Wen Yu indifferently, and after a while, he spoke.

“Third brother is never going to be with a woman in his life. Following him will only delay your future, Mrs. Wen. Why don’t I help you leave?”

Wen Yu didn’t react for a moment, her eyes somewhat confused.

Only after a moment did she realize what he was referring to, and she was so shocked that she couldn’t speak.

Jiu grew up with her since he was a child, and at least there was respect.

How could he say such things?

This not only embarrassed her but also touched on his third brother’s sore spot!

Being unable to perform a man’s role is an unspeakable pain for any man!

“Shut up.” Wen Yu said angrily, “How can you say such hurtful things to your third brother, to me?”

Mu Xiaojiu seemed to have anticipated Wen Yu’s reaction and continued, “If you don’t have the heart to talk to third brother, I can do it for you.”

“I’m sure I have a way to let him release you.”

“You…” Wen Yu was at a loss for words for a moment, trembling with anger.

She could feel the threat in Mu Xiaojiu’s words, but it was the first time she saw this side of Jiu.

At this moment, there was no trace of warmth on Mu Xiaojiu’s exquisite features.

“All because of her?

Has she changed you this much?”

“Don’t you know that everything I’m doing is for your own good?”

Wen Yu’s words carried a hint of disappointment, but she knew how powerless it was to say these things; she couldn’t change anything about Mu Xiaojiu.

Mu Xiaojiu did not respond, only looking at her coldly.

Wen Yu took several deep breaths before her emotions calmed down, and she said hoarsely, “Fine, I won’t interfere with your matters anymore.”

“I just hope you can remember the care I’ve given you all these years.”

Mu Xiaojiu’s eyebrows furrowed slightly; of course, he remembered Wen Yu’s kindness to him.

But she couldn’t cross the line and force things upon Baili Xia.

He had said that he could tolerate anything, but he couldn’t let anyone overstep his boundaries, trample on his bottom line.

That girl was his bottom line!

Hadn’t he warned them?

Seeing his still cold demeanor, Wen Yu knew that saying more would be useless and could only glance at him and prepare to leave.

Just as she turned around, Mu Xiaojiu’s aloof voice suddenly came from behind.

“You’re in a bad mood, and I know a place that’s great for getting away.

I’ve already bought you a ticket.

Why don’t you go have fun for a week before coming back?”

Wen Yu immediately turned back, looking at him, and said loudly, “What are you trying to do?

My affairs don’t need your arrangement.

Do you know that doing this will anger your third brother?”

Even at this moment, Wen Yu still thought first to protect him.

If Mu Xiaojiu was just venting his temper at her, she could endure it, could refrain from speaking.

But if he did something that let Mu Xuri find out, she would be powerless.

She had witnessed Mu Xuri’s ruthlessness.

Even as for her, if she provoked him, she would also face punishment.

She was truly looking out for him; Jiu…

why couldn’t he understand?

“Jiu, blame me if you want, but why go against your third brother? His anger brings you no benefit.”

Wen Yu didn’t want to quarrel with him anymore; continuing the argument would benefit no one.

Looking at his still handsome and extraordinary face, she softened her voice, trying to persuade him.

“Jiu, let’s just say I came at the wrong time today.

I won’t do it again in the future, alright?”

“Be good, don’t throw a tantrum anymore.

We’re a family, why let an outsider disrupt our harmony?”
