Chapter 254: 95 Reverse_1

Three girls ran past two men, shouting two names, "Xiaohao, wait for Mumu and us, will you?"

Helian Hao and Qin Mu turned their heads to see them rushing over, displaying warmth that was completely absent under normal circumstances, even linking arms with them.

Helian Hao frowned subconsciously, but due to her nature, she didn’t make any inappropriate moves, simply raising her eyes to look at Qin Mu.

Qin Mu, however, had never liked to feign closeness with strangers, instinctively shaking off the hand of the girl who was holding her.

The girl who had been holding her arm immediately looked at her with shock, then quickly frowned and reproached, "Hey, Qin Mu, what are you doing? You haven’t come back for so many years, and today, when we just arrived in the city and heard you were here, we came to find you. Why are you keeping people at arm’s length? No wonder people say girls who come back from abroad are especially clueless about the ways of the world, ’only knowing how to cling to men.’"

The last sentence was spoken in a very low voice, but since the distance between the girls was not far, naturally, they all could hear it, and Qin Mu’s frown deepened.

"Sorry, I’m not accustomed to being so intimate with strangers."

Her voice was icy clear, she was genuinely sorry but also truly wished to keep a greater distance from them, so she wanted to leave.

"Hey, we mean well, after all, we played together as kids."

Another girl blocked her path as she attempted to leave.

Jing Feng and Mu Yichen were standing a distance away, feeling that the situation was not good, they were about to go over when suddenly Jing Qing ran up: "Yichen, I have something to tell you, and you too, brother!"

Mu Yichen gave her a cold glance and then turned his gaze towards Jing Feng before turning and going to look for Qin Mu.

"Yichen, don’t you really want to know? These past few days, Qin Mu has been going to Jian Yan’s apartment in the morning and not leaving until after lunch."

Mu Yichen instinctively turned his head again, his icy gaze shooting towards her.

"Jing Qing, what are you trying to do now?"

Jing Feng frowned, looking at his sister’s manner, he knew for sure nothing good was coming.

"Brother, I just want Yichen to know what kind of woman he is with."

Jing Qing was serious and insistent, after speaking, she persistently looked at Mu Yichen.

"We’ll talk about those things later."

Mu Yichen said coldly, then turned and walked towards the others.

"You really think you’re worthy of Young Master Yichen? Don’t forget what your status is!"

"Exactly, your mom is long gone, you don’t even have a home."

"If you’re smart, you’ll leave him early, and save us the agitation of having to look at you."

"Hey! What are you three saying?"

Helian Hao could no longer care about the face of an old acquaintance and stepped forward to intervene.

The girl immediately flared up: "Helian Hao, don’t think just because Jing Feng is protecting you that I won’t dare to touch you, okay? If it weren’t for you, Jing Feng and I would’ve been engaged a long time ago."

"Ha, you and Jing Feng getting engaged? You’re not even worthy to carry his shoes."

Helian Hao couldn’t help but laugh as she spoke.

"You’re the one who isn’t worthy!"

The girl, angered by the response, swung her bag aiming for Helian Hao’s face. Qin Mu, seeing what was happening, naturally couldn’t just stand by; she pushed aside the two other girls to pull Helian Hao away, but as she turned her head, the girl’s bag, adorned with shiny fragments, hit her in the face. Immediately, a red gash appeared on Qin Mu’s face, and blood slowly began oozing from the broken skin.

The pain from the injury on her face intensified as the cool mountain wind blew over it, making her gaze seem all the more frightening. The girls recoiled when they saw her injury, and the one who had hit her swallowed nervously, stuttering, "You, you... I was just talking to Helian Hao, why did you step forward?"

The wind on the mountain was cool, and the feeling of it on the fresh wound was unique.

"I don’t know what result you want, but if you’re here to climb, then climb properly, or don’t blame me if I’m not polite next time you cause trouble."

Qin Mu said coldly, her long hair unable to hide the wound on her face, nor conceal the murderous aura it bore.

Helian Hao was pulled aside without injury but looked at the bleeding on Qin Mu’s face with alarm: "Mumu, your face..."

"I’m fine!" Qin Mu whispered to her, then turned her gaze back to the girl who had just swung her bag.

This was not part of their plan for the day, but now they did not dare to take any further action.

"Let me see!"

Mu Yichen walked over, saw her half-red face, immediately approached, and lowered his head. His hand held her chin to reveal the injured side of her face. In just a half second, his icy gaze swept over the three women beside her.
