Marry Me Quick

Chapter 496

Enxue had been in terror since discovering that her brother was working for Gricy. She would often wake up in a cold sweat, terrified that Gricy would send people to hurt her if her brother made a mistake or died. Hence she knew that she needed Muchen's protection to live peacefully.

"Muchen agreed to take care of you for one month. Can you tell me how long it has been since your brother left?"

Muchen was wise to be cautious. He would've had to take care of Enxue to the end of days if he did not set an end date to his vow to protect her. That's if Enyang does not return.

"My brother hasn't returned yet and is not responding to my calls or texts! Are you going to cast me aside, knowing that Gricy might come for me?" Enxue nearly shrieked in terror.

"I think you should be worried about your brother. How could you only think about yourself?" Ziyue whispered as she stared at the young woman before her.

"He decided to join Gricy. What could I have done to stop him? I can't do anything for him now, even if I worry for his safety. I have a weak heart! Do you expect me to look for him at Gricy?"

"He's your brother, not mine!"

Ziyue decided to swap her understanding of Enyang and Enxue. She used to think Enxue was a good person – a gentle but strong girl. Whereas Enyang left a bad taste in her mouth – he abducted her child, separated them for two years, and caused immense pain to her and her husband.

However, Enyang loved his sister deeply. He joined Gricy because Enxue needed money for her heart disease urgently. Otherwise, Ziyue believed he would have been an excellent businessman, on par with Muchen.

From their brief conversation, Ziyue knew that Enxue did not reciprocate her brother's love and concern. Despite her brother's radio silence, all she worried about was her own safety.

I understand that Enxue's fear stems from Gricy's vengefulness. Still, I cannot believe she has forgotten that her brother joined Gricy to earn fast cash for her heart treatment! What a pity. Ziyue rubbed her temples.

I don't want to spend another moment with this woman, Ziyue thought as she tried to leave the room, but as she passed Enxue, the other woman grabbed her arm.

"Don't go! You can't do this to me! My brother gave you a business, didn't he? How could you bite the hand that fed you?"

Ziyue frowned. I didn't expect Enyang to tell his sister about Feng Group.

"The company never belonged to your brother." Enyang took over Feng Group by impersonating Feng Xingyan. She was astounded that Enxue dared to insinuate that he had done Ziyue a favor by returning Feng Group to her – it was hers, to begin with!

"You should learn how to take care of yourself now." Ziyue snarled before Enxue could toss any further comments.

Enxue felt her throat close with nervousness when she felt the chill in Ziyue's tone. During the short time she had spent with Ziyue, she had never seen Ziyue blow her fuse. Ziyue was always gentle, especially when she talked about Zixi.

However, the chilly tone in her voice indicated that it was not that Ziyue did not have a temper – Ziyue just never let her temper get the best of her.

Ziyue had a good husband and a beautiful child – her life gave her more reason to be gentle and satisfied rather than bitter and upset.

Enxue mistook her gentleness and meekness as weakness, which was why Enxue dared to threaten her.

Enxue watched Ziyue as she left the room nervously. Only then she realized she had been holding her breath the whole time.

…

As Ziyue closed the door behind her, she gripped the water bottle tighter, her emotions roiling like boiling water. She took a few deep breaths to calm down. Eventually, she summoned the courage to go to Yuchuan's room.

She knew that Enxue's blistering words were nothing compared to what she would be encountering when she met Yuchuan.

Something felt off when she brought Zixi to Yuchuan's room. He had not liked her ever since meeting two years ago, and she never liked him either.

Despite the short time they were together, most of the time they had was tainted with negative events.

She felt awkward when she was in his room. When she realized she needed to get Zixi's bottle, she entrusted Zixi to Jingshu.

She had to go back, even though she really disliked it.
