CHAPTER 101: CHAPTER 101: DO WHAT YOU LIKE TO DO

Mu Yan met Mu Chen’s eyes filled with self-reproach, and her heart skipped a beat.

It seems, the truth could not be concealed any longer.

Probably due to poor health since childhood, Mu Chen’s heart was both fragile and sensitive.

Especially after their parents passed away, and the siblings relied on each other to survive, it became even more so.

Mu Yan sighed, "It’s my fault for hiding it from you, I didn’t want you to worry about me."

"But if something really happened to you, how would I cope?" Mu Chen retorted.

He closed his eyes slightly and suddenly choked, "Sis, you don’t owe me anything, even if you did, you have long repaid it, now I owe you!"

Sometimes he even hated himself, wondering why he didn’t just die and stop burdening her.

"Don’t say such nonsense!" Mu Yan’s face darkened, she reprimanded, "We are family, no one owes anyone, if you say such things again, you’re refusing to acknowledge me as your sister."

Mu Chen sniffled, turned his head away, and said nothing.

Mu Yan saw his stubborn look and laughed, "What, do you really plan to refuse to acknowledge me as your sister?"

Mu Chen still said nothing.

Mu Yan was somewhat helpless, "It’s my fault in this matter, I should have told you earlier, but I didn’t lie to you, I initially joined the entertainment company, only to be deceived later."

Mu Chen’s expression slightly changed, he turned his head and asked urgently: "What do you mean deceived, are you alright, Sis?"

Mu Yan knew he misunderstood and laughed, "What are you imagining, I was just tricked into being a stand-in."

"Who is so despicable!" Mu Chen looked angry.

He suddenly thought of something and asked, "That Zhou Lifen?"

Mu Yan met his gaze, knowing she couldn’t deceive him, and nodded.

Mu Chen was so angry his teeth clenched, "Why? Why did she have to do that?"

Now that he knew, she didn’t intend to hide it anymore.

"Half a year ago, Zhou Lifen deposited three hundred thousand into your medical account, I became a stand-in for her to repay the favor."

Mu Chen felt a bit down, "Again, because of me."

Mu Yan smiled, "Fool, she was afraid I’d snatch the role she wanted, so she set me up and sidelined me. If not this, it would have been something else. Blame it on me for being too naive."

But thinking now, she felt Zhou Lifen’s reasons for targeting her were somewhat shallow, or perhaps she was just a shallow person.

"Sis. You’re not naive at all!" Mu Chen immediately retorted.

Mu Yan raised a brow, "Now you acknowledge I’m your sister?"

Mu Chen didn’t respond, knowing he had no right to deny her.

Sometimes, he felt that life was unfair to her.

She should have been a princess, yet had to endure so much hardship.

Thinking of the times over the past six months when he saw the bruises on her legs and arms.

When he asked her, she said she accidentally bumped into something.

Thinking about it now, being a stand-in for such a wicked woman must have been hard.

His eyes were filled with pain, "Sis, being a stand-in must have been really tough?"

Mu Yan laughed, "It’s not so bad, it’s not like moving bricks at a construction site, and everything is over now. I am no longer a stand-in, so you don’t need to worry."

"But I think being an actress isn’t good either, those insulting words about you online are awful." Mu Chen frowned slightly.

Mu Yan smiled, "What celebrity hasn’t faced slander before making it big? Even your favorite Brother Shen was once rumored to be kept by a rich woman."

She suddenly remembered something and laughed, "Oh right, I haven’t given you your idol’s autograph yet."

With that, she stood up, opened the suitcase, took out a poster, and handed it to Mu Chen.

Mu Chen didn’t take it, looking seriously at her, "Sis, you should go back to drawing, doing what you love."
