Instinctively Reacted

He suddenly grabbed Xiao Yuqian's hand and said, "Who did you say was the murderer? You better give me a clear explanation. What do I have to do with your brother's death?"

Ma Haodong had always been unclear about the real reason why Xiao Yuqian had left in the past. Today, when he overheard their conversation, he finally more or less understood.

Had she left because of the death of her younger brother, Xiao Yuche?

He also wanted to know the real cause of Xiao Yuche's death. Why did she blame him for it?

Xiao Yuqian didn't expect that Ma Haodong would eavesdrop on them. She had nothing to say to him. Other than feeling angry and resentful, Xiao Yuqian chose to be silent too.

There was an uncomfortable silence between the two. Xu Xiyan acted as a mediator and reconciled them, "It's okay, Brother Dong. If there're any problems we can always discuss them later. Go dress up quickly. It's our turn to be on the stage."
