Chapter 1173

Baili Xia stayed at the Bei Family for three days.

Since that day, she hadn’t seen Tang Jixin again, and even the Old Madam was said to have gone out for some business and hadn’t been seen since.

During those three days, other than the first day when Bei Tianyou gave her a blood transfusion, miraculously, she didn’t need it anymore.

Nangong Xu said her blood regeneration was very strong, much stronger than the average person.

She didn’t know what exactly was going on with herself, always feeling as if there were many secrets hidden within her.

However, no one was willing to tell her these things.

On the fourth day, Baili Xia received a call from grandfather, telling her to come home immediately.

Not knowing what was going on, she called Mu Xiaojiu several times, but Mu Xiaojiu’s phone was always unreachable.

Then she called Ye Hua, who said that Mr.

Xiaojiu had gone out, and it had been several days and he still hadn’t returned.

Unable to find Uncle, Baili Xia immediately felt a heavy mood.

She didn’t know why, but when he was around, she didn’t feel it, but once she couldn’t find him and he wasn’t around, she always felt a lack of security.

Helplessly, Baili Xia had no choice but to hurry back from Bei Miao with Nangong Xu by plane.

As soon as she entered the Mu family, she sensed a chilling atmosphere, an indescribable sense of oppression.

Baili Xia felt more and more strange, but she couldn’t pinpoint what was strange.

By coincidence, as she entered, she ran into Mu Xiaoyao who had just returned from outside.

“Brother,” as soon as she got off the car, Baili Xia walked towards Mu Xiaoyao.

“Grandfather asked us to come back urgently, is there something going on?”

“I don’t know, I just got back from abroad and just got off the plane,” said Mu Xiaoyao, glancing at her.

Seeing the concealed anxiety in her eyes, he softened his voice, “There probably isn’t anything serious; don’t panic.”

Baili Xia was truly panicking; the call had been made by Feng Gang, and grandpa hadn’t personally called her to come back.

Instead, he had Feng Gang command her in a commanding tone that she must return today, as the Old Man had something to say.

She had always been feeling guilty, afraid that grandpa would know about her and Uncle’s matter, which might give grandpa a heart attack.

“Where’s Uncle?” she looked at Mu Xiaoyao again.

Mu Xiaoyao picked up his laptop bag from the car and walked with her towards the main house’s hall.

“Uncle has been busy with some important matters recently, and I haven’t seen him for three to four days.”

“Will he come back today?” If Uncle wasn’t back, Baili Xia always felt uneasy.

“This…” Mu Xiaoyao could see her nervousness, even though he didn’t know what she was nervous about.

But, as she got nervous, her complexion started to pale a bit, which wasn’t a good sign.

“He should be back.” Seeing her face turning pale, the phrase “I don’t know” changed to this one.

It was unclear whether his words had a comforting effect or that saying “Uncle should be back” gave Baili Xia courage.

Baili Xia finally was not so panicked, picked up her simple luggage, and looked at Nangong Xu.

“Master, then I’ll go with Brother to the hall to see if grandpa is there; you can go back to Sihai Residence on your own.”

“…Okay.” Nangong Xu originally wanted to accompany her.

But on second thought, since the Old Man requested someone to return, it must be about Mu family’s matters.

Family matters, no room for an outsider like him to listen in.

Moreover, with Mu Xiaoyao with her, there probably wouldn’t be any issue.

Nangong Xu left, Baili Xia and Mu Xiaoyao looked at each other, and then headed together towards the hall entrance.
