Chapter 117: My People Play However You Want 44_1

Mu Xiaojiu, seeing Mu Lingchuan come towards them and push Baili Xia away, had also called out to Mu Lingchuan.

He knew that he would rescue her, so he focused on fighting the assassin.

But when he returned to the deck, he saw the look of resentment in her eyes as she looked at him.

He knew that she must have misunderstood, thinking that he pushed her away because he didn’t want her anymore.

This little creature, she’s indeed petty!

He didn’t know how long she would hold this grudge against him.

Mu Xiaojiu was never the type of person to be good at explanations.

Plus, the slash across his chest, almost reaching his bone, left him with a pretty severe wound.

He didn’t even have time to explain anything further to Baili Xia.

Besides, she was already scared pale; if she found out he was injured, wouldn’t that just scare her even more?

So he chose to remain silent; along with Ye Hua, he swiftly departed.

Even his walk was steady and normal, not showing any signs of injury.

Ye Hua had their speedboat lowered and personally took Mr.

Xiaojiu back home.

Their people were able to quickly control the situation, so there was no need for him to stay and direct them.

Everyone was highly trained and knew exactly how to handle the situation.

The pale expression on Mr.

Xiaojiu’s face when he was handed his bathrobe let him know just how serious the injury was.

Mr.

Xiaojiu, once he put on the bathrobe, looked no different from any ordinary person, but underneath the bathrobe was a large patch of blood.

Only after getting on the speedboat did Mu Xiaojiu take the bath towel handed over by Ye Hua and apply it to his wound to slow down the bleeding.

Upon reaching shore, he immediately got into a car and quickly left.

About ten minutes later, the people on the cruise ship also returned to shore.

The wealthy young masters and ladies quickly found their people and left the scene.

Tang Shanshan was devastated.

She had worked so hard to host this party, and even her Uncle had come.

But seeing the grim expression on his face when he left, she knew his mood had been soured.

It must have been her party that had upset him.

Would he ever be willing to attend a party she hosted in the future?

Maybe he didn’t even want to glance at her anymore.

But no one paid any attention to her sulking.

Both the men and women were disturbed and all quickly left.

Mu Lingchuan with his two sisters in tow, picked up Baili Xia, and drove straight back to the Mu family home.

Seeing the bunch arriving home in disarray, the old master was almost frightened out of his wits.

Baili Xia didn’t know what Mu Lingchuan had said to him, she just knew that he had quickly carried her up to the room on the second floor.

The maid came in to bathe her, and this time, she didn’t reject the offer because she didn’t have much strength left.

She had swallowed too much seawater and till now, was feeling quite nauseous.

She didn’t dare to tell them that she was feeling unwell, fearing that everyone would fuss over her.

But even without her saying anything, Mu Lingchuan and the old master started to fuss over her nonetheless.

After she had taken a bath and changed into clean clothes, several people came in with the family doctor.

After conducting a thorough examination without finding anything wrong, the doctor prescribed some medicine, which was administered by the nurse before everyone finally left.

Before leaving, the old master turned back to look at Mu Lingchuan, “You stay and keep Xiaxia company, don’t let her get shocked again.”

Being alone with her late at night…

Mu Lingchuan glanced back at Baili Xia on the bed, hesitating a bit.

The old master was intentionally matchmaking them, but wouldn’t spending the night together like this tarnish Baili Xia’s reputation?
