Chapter 1020

Before long, the environment had changed several times, and it seemed that the sea was visible in the distance.

What were they taking her to the beach for?

Suddenly, the phone in her bag rang.

Baili Xia was startled and hurriedly took the phone out of her bag.

It was a call from Dongfang Jin, and her eyes lit up as she immediately went to answer it.

But before her fingers could touch the screen, the phone suddenly disappeared from her grasp; Mu Xiaojiu had snatched it away.

With a swift swipe of his finger, he outright rejected the call.

Baili Xia was furious, glaring at him with a clenched fist.

“What on earth do you want to do? You have no right to take me away. I want to go to the Dongfang Family, I want to be with Jin.”

Mu Xiaojiu took a deep breath, clenched his fist, and then desperately tried to relax it.

But he didn’t speak, clearly suppressing his rage.

Baili Xia didn’t want to provoke him either, knowing that angering him would do her no good.

However, she didn’t know where they were taking her.

This fear of the unknown was more terrifying than making him angry and having him scold her.

The phone rang again soon after, this time it was from Mu Xiaoyao.

Mu Xiaojiu was a bit annoyed and simply turned off her phone and tossed it aside.

Baili Xia wanted to grab it, but one cold glance from him frightened her back into her seat, not daring to make any rash moves.

He had turned off her phone; now, she couldn’t contact anyone.

What exactly did they want to do?

Where was this road going?

The beach, why go to the beach?

She certainly wasn’t foolish enough to think that Mu Xiaojiu, like Dongfang Jin, had taken her to the beach to amuse her, to collect shells or catch crabs.

But since he disliked her so much and was so angry at her, why bring her to the beach?

Could it be that he wanted to throw her into the sea, to drown her outright?

This thought flashed through her mind, and Baili Xia felt utterly chilled.

It wasn’t the fear of Uncle drowning her, but rather, his intentions towards the baby in her belly.

Her hands instinctively rested on her stomach, protectively covering it.

If Uncle really intended to harm her baby, she would fight him at all costs!

After Baili Xia’s phone was turned off, Mu Xiaojiu’s phone started ringing.

He took out his phone, glanced at the caller ID, and even though he initially didn’t want to answer, he suddenly chose to do so.

Before the other party could speak, his icy voice was heard: “Mind your own business and don’t meddle in things that don’t concern you.”

“Uncle, are you with her? Dongfang Jin has sent people looking for her to my place,” came Mu Xiaoyao’s anxious voice from the other end.

Mu Xiaojiu scoffed coldly: “So what if I am? If he has the guts, let him come and take her. If not, he can get lost!”

With a swipe of his finger, he hung up the call.

This time, he even turned off his own phone, threw it aside, and continued with his work, disregarding everything else.

Ye Hua didn’t talk, and neither did he; Baili Xia truly didn’t know what they were planning.

It wasn’t long before the car finally stopped at a dock.

Ye Hua turned and respectfully said to Mu Xiaojiu, “Mr. Xiaojiu, we’ve arrived.”

Mu Xiaojiu didn’t respond, closed his laptop, and put it into his briefcase.

After Ye Hua had gotten out of the car and opened the door for him from the back seat,

Mu Xiaojiu took the briefcase from his hands, then stepped aside and waited silently.

Mu Xiaojiu turned to Baili Xia, who was in a state of panic: “Come here.”
