Chapter 1160

Baili Xia couldn’t understand why Bei Tianyou insisted on arranging for her to live here, knowing full well that his mother was unhappy about it.

Unexpectedly, Bei Tianyou firmly asserted, “Just sleep here, once you get used to it, don’t change it arbitrarily.”

Not only Baili Xia, but even Tang Jixin was staring at him intently.

Tang Jixin wanted to say something, but it seemed that in an instant, she understood her son’s intentions.

As for Baili Xia, she truly didn’t understand since she was not aware of any traditions or customs of the Bei Family.

However, seeing Tang Jixin’s face growing pale, Baili Xia felt somewhat sorry for her.

“Auntie, I heard you often suffer from headaches. When I was with my master… my cousin, I learned a medical technique for treating headaches. How about I try it on you?”

Tang Jixin knew she wanted to ingratiate herself and was inclined to reject outright.

But upon further thought, she suddenly smiled, “Alright, my head is really hurting right now, why don’t you treat me now?”

“Okay.”

Tang Jixin stayed behind and had the servant clear away the food left over by Baili Xia.

This turn of events puzzled both Nangong Xu and Bei Tianyou.

The shift in atmosphere was so sudden, how could they not notice how the two women reconciled?

Now, they could even talk to each other a few sentences…

“Cough.” Bei Tianyou coughed lightly and glanced at Fan Yi.

“Mr.

Nangong and I will go to the study next door to discuss some matters; you stay here to accompany Madame and Xiaxia.”

“Okay.” Fan Yi nodded in immediate agreement.

How could he not see Mr.

Bei’s intention?

Mr.

Bei was worried that after they left, the two women might start fighting in the room…

although Baili Xia did not seem to be that impulsive.

However, prevention is always important.

Nangong Xu, however, was a bit worried.

Even though Madame Bei seemed to have no martial arts skills, Baili Xia, with her abilities, would surely not be at a disadvantage in this place.

But Baili Xia had just gotten better, her body had not yet fully recovered, and accidents could happen.

“I and this lady…”

“My name is Xiaxia.” Baili Xia smiled faintly at Tang Jixin.

“Cough,” Tang Jixin coughed and then looked back at Bei Tianyou, “Am I to have a chat with Xiaxia here and you still need someone to supervise us?”

“Mom, that’s not what I mean.” Bei Tianyou was a bit embarrassed.

Hadn’t they just been at odds a moment ago?

Now they were going to “talk”?

What are women’s hearts made of?

This change was truly astonishing.

Baili Xia turned to look at him before turning her gaze to Nangong Xu.

“Master…

Cousin,” she cleared her throat, the term “cousin” did not really roll off the tongue, after all, it wasn’t the actual name they used.

Who would have thought that previously when her master introduced her, to avoid trouble, he came up with a “cousin” story.

“Cousin, I’ll do some acupoint pressing for Madame Bei, you go and discuss matters with Mr. Bei.”

Baili Xia could also see that Bei Tianyou and Nangong Xu seemed to have some matters to discuss.

Staying here and watching two women argue was simply a waste of time.

Although she had never intended to compete with Tang Jixin, Madame Bei truly disliked her.

Tang Jixin didn’t ask for much, only hoping that this strange and bad woman would not get close to her son.

She even thought that if all else fails, she might stay here tonight to “accompany” this female guest overnight.

Anyway, she must not give her the chance of being alone with her son.

For all these “outsiders” who barged in, she didn’t trust a single one!
