After you sever ties, it's no use crying and regretting it.

Chapter 74 Expectation

Now that Lü Xinyan has returned, she won't leave again so easily.

Aside from her initial desire to change her family's tragic fate, Lü Xinyan was able to sense and understand the genuine affection and guilt her family felt for her after meeting them.

This feeling caused Lü Xinyan's initial tentative intentions to change, and she became more willing to have more contact with and understand her family.

As long as her family doesn't do anything excessive, Lü Xinyan won't leave on her own.

Of course, if her family tries to scheme against or take advantage of her, she will openly and honestly explain herself and leave.

Her household registration documents are not currently kept with her family, which is also a way for her to have a backup plan.

Meeting her second brother Lü Muyi's complicated gaze, Lü Xinyan smiled and shook her head, continuing, "Even if one day you no longer need me, I will leave with dignity, without resorting to such a dramatic scene of leaving in a huff."

"Actually, it's not just you who's testing me; I'm also keeping some reservations and afraid of being hurt."

"So, Yi-ge, there's no need to be so nervous or rush to express your opinion. Everything needs to be done through getting to know each other before you can be sure of what you're thinking and make a decision that you won't regret."

Since her personality was similar to that of her second brother, Lü Muyi, Lü Xinyan spoke these words directly, expressing her attitude and supporting his decision to keep an eye on her and be wary of her.

Only when both parties have been tested and confirmed to be trustworthy can that trust be truly solid.

Lu Xinyan wasn't in a hurry. Although she wanted to know about her background and her family's situation so she could help them avoid the Yuan family's schemes and traps, she hadn't truly opened her heart to accept all of this yet.

Trust needs to be built, and Lü Xinyan didn't mind if Lü Muyi used the same attitude to examine him.

After thinking for a moment, Lü Xinyan continued, "However, we are siblings, and you shouldn't doubt this blood relationship, right?"

"With this blood relation, and now that we're preparing to leave Ningshui Village together, we can still get along better, at least on the surface, without being too deliberate."

“My parents are both very good. They accepted me as soon as we met and they love me very much. I feel guilty and don’t want to make them feel bad.”

The direct trust her father and mother placed in her was indeed beyond Lü Xinyan's initial expectations.

It was because of this that Lü Xinyan was moved and wanted to stay, giving each other a chance.

Since she cared, Lü Xinyan didn't want to cause them any harm.

Of course, if things really don't work out, Lü Xinyan can leave on her own and won't be bound by all of this.

After hearing what his sister Lü Xinyan had to say, Lü Muyi became even more nervous.

From Lü Xinyan's words, Lü Muyi clearly understood that his sister Lü Xinyan was not desperate and had nowhere else to go; she was also testing them and had not yet fully trusted them.

If their performance disappoints or hurts Lü Xinyan, she will leave without looking back.

Lu Muyi could understand this kind of personality, but he was even more worried.

Lu Muyi didn't know if his behavior during this period would cause his sister to harbor resentment.

Although his sister had made it clear that she wouldn't be angry about his actions, nor would she leave in a huff, Lü Muyi still felt uneasy. He worried that his behavior would ruin the family reunion they were hoping for.

Lu Xinyan was still observing Lu Muyi's reaction. Seeing Lu Muyi's furrowed brows, Lu Xinyan shook her head helplessly and continued, "Alright, Yi-ge'er, stop overthinking. Let's hurry up and take the things home so the whole family can leave Ningshui Village as soon as possible."

"Given their changing attitudes, they might change their minds again tomorrow morning. The most important thing is for us to leave Ningshui Village as soon as possible."

"It's better to discuss things after we leave Ningshui Village and are in a safer place."

With a slight smile and a shake of her head, Lü Xinyan looked at the road ahead and continued, "Besides, you don't need to worry so much. As I said, you and I are the most alike in temperament. We will be on guard and worried about getting hurt, but we won't be so petty as to hold a grudge over a few words."

"Like you, would you hold a grudge against me just because you know I have such defensive thoughts?"

"So, stop overthinking it and let's go."

After saying these words, Lü Xinyan continued walking forward without urging Lü Muyi any further.

Lu Muyi was taken aback by what Lu Xinyan said.

Thinking about his own reaction this time, Lü Muyi finally smiled slightly, relaxed a lot, and quickly followed.

After arriving at Lü Xinyan's side, Lü Muyi said, "Sister, thank you, I understand."

"Let's see what kind of people we are by how we behave from now on; that's the most practical thing to do."

"Sister, thank you for giving us this opportunity. I will do my best and not let you down."

Having resolved his biggest worry, Lü Muyi was indeed much more relaxed, and his impression of his older sister, Lü Xinyan, improved. He hoped for a sister like her even more.

However, knowing Lü Xinyan's personality, Lü Muyi will try his best to meet her requirements and not disappoint her so that she will leave.

Having such a sister is completely different from the previous Yuan Yutong. Lü Muyi cherishes her very much and hopes that they will not disappoint each other.

In response, Lü Xinyan smiled and nodded, replying, "Yes, our family has very simple wishes. We all hope that our family members can live well. As long as we work together, our lives will definitely get better and better."

"Once we leave Ningshui Village, we will no longer suffer from the exclusion and framing of these people in Ningshui Village. We will be able to avoid the Yuan family's targeting and scheming, and we will be able to make up for each other's regrets and have a better future."

"So, we don't need to hold back anymore. At least, none of us want to hurt our families, and we won't go too far."

Lü Xinyan was quite convinced of this.

As long as they manage their lives well, all the regrets of the past will be made up for.

Moreover, many of the secrets and problems surrounding their family members will eventually be resolved.

The Yuan family didn't target them without reason. Once they resolve those secrets and issues, many things will become clear.
