Chapter 269, Eyesore

Weilan was stunned. She watched Qiao Jingchen firmly misunderstand her and was speechless.

"Brother, you can't just talk about the ancestral tablets. Right now, the Lu Family and the Shen Family are controlling this news. This is... this is something Mu Linyun risked telling you to reconcile us. It's top secret. Do you understand?" Weilan was truly afraid her brother might accidentally let it slip.

"What do you mean?" Qiao Jingchen was very confused.

Weilan said, "It means that, to the outside world, Lu Hechen is still alive and only those within the Shen and Lu Families know the true secret."

"Then, why does Mr. Mu know?" Qiao Jingchen asked with surprise. "Is he also part of the Shen and Lu Families?"

This was still Qiao Jingchen, although kind, his mind was sharp. He was the smart brother Weilan took comfort in. Regarding her brother's alertness and acumen, she replied, "Brother, he is one of us. You can tell him anything. I also don't hide anything from him."
