Chapter 4571: 5.0323 It Was a Lie!

Qiao Mu's eyes suddenly sharpened. "You lied to me?"

Was she being lied to again?

Ever since the incident with the Seven Flowers, a suppressed anger had been simmering within the little stoic's heart, ready to erupt. It was stifling.

Normally, if she didn't encounter those liars, she wouldn't think about it.

But once she did, it was new grudges piled on old...

She was furious, her gaze fixed on Ding Yun, eyes seemingly ablaze, as if she could devour him whole.

To think she had been inexplicably worried about him just moments ago, only to find out these people were lying to her again!

Damn liars, big liars!!

They all love to lie to Qiao Qiao!

Is Qiao Qiao just a pitiful little toy for them to amuse themselves with??

The little stoic tightened her grip on Young Master Ding's hand, increasing her force, seemingly intent on breaking his wrist directly.

What was rather odd was that Young Master Ding seemed to have no strength left in his body, not even the power to push her hand away.

He was barely suppressing the tremors throughout his body; the scene felt somewhat eerie.

The little stoic stared at him with a cold, stern face for a long while.

She saw him look up and smile at her, his voice trembling and shrinking, "Y-yes, it's a l-lie. S-so, are you, are you not l-leaving yet?"

"Utterly boring!" The little stoic angrily flung his hand away and turned to walk out of the grotto.

"Where's Sikong Fuling?!" The little stoic stormed out of the grotto, shouting furiously.

"What's wrong?" Duan Yue saw her fuming and looked at her with some confusion.

Wasn't she going to see a patient? How did it make the little one so angry?

Qiao Mu was too angry to speak.

Duan Yue said, "Miss Sikong just said she went to prepare some hot water and clean cloths."

"Putting on an act," Qiao Mu sneered, pulling Duan Yue. "Let's go."

Duan Yue, naturally unaware of what had happened, saw how angry she was and didn't press for more questions. He nodded and said, "Okay."

The two headed towards the beach.

All the way, Qiao Mu's face was puffed up with anger.

She truly couldn't believe she had fallen for Sikong Fuling's trickery and trusted those siblings.

Was Young Master Ding's story about being stranded on a desolate island at four years old and eating sea fish for three years also fabricated?!

What about living like a year in a day on the desolate island, eating fish until his mouth was bland as a bird's...?

Were all of these lies to Qiao Qiao...?

Qiao Mu suddenly stopped, carefully recalling the situation just now, and her brows couldn't help but furrow.

"Qiao Qiao?" Duan Yue frowned, puzzled.

What's wrong with Qiao Qiao?

Could it be that because of that boy's pitiable background, Qiao Qiao actually felt some sympathy for him?

The thought made him incredibly displeased!

"Duan Yue, could you wait for me for a moment?" Qiao Mu tossed out this sentence, then suddenly turned and ran back.

Duan Yue turned his head, his eyes gazing deeply at her retreating figure. He muttered to himself, "Alas, when will she ever change this habit of being tough on the outside but soft on the inside?"

Qiao Qiao is so kind even to unrelated people; it truly makes one feel a pang in the heart.

Meanwhile, in the quiet, narrow grotto.

Qiao Mu sprinted back. As soon as she stepped into the grotto, a faint smell of blood rushed into her nose.

Her heart skipped a beat.

"Ding Ding Ding, don't you dare die on my island and cause me trouble!" Qiao Mu shouted angrily, quickly rushing inside.

The sight before her made her dark pupils constrict slightly, and she couldn't help but take a small, sharp breath.
