Chapter 119: My People Play However You Want 46_1

Baili Xia didn’t know if she was foolish or if drinking too much seawater had addled her mind?

Uncle had always been a villain, so why did she put her heart on him?

Her current plight served her right.

Who told her that Uncle had an obligation to save her?

She was a fool, a real fool, utterly stupid!

She had no idea how she fell asleep, and even less idea that Mu Lingchuan had sat by her bedside all night.

Perhaps, even he himself didn’t know what was going through his mind, he just knew that she looked so helplessly sad.

It seemed…

as though he couldn’t ease his mind without keeping an eye on her.

Sleep, when she wakes up, she’ll be fine, everything will be fine.

However, those assassins were clearly targeting Uncle.

With the assassins on the move, Jin City can’t help but be in turmoil.

…

Uncle had not returned during this period; reportedly, he was on a business trip.

As for where he went, Baili Xia didn’t know.

At first, she tried to glean some information indirectly.

But later, she found that even Mu Ziying didn’t know where Uncle was.

So, she figured she wasn’t supposed to ask about these things, and she stopped inquiring.

Mu Lingchuan seemed to know where Uncle was, judging by his expression, but he was unwilling to tell her.

Time passed like that for half a month.

Half a month later, the school year began.

That day, at breakfast time, Uncle still had not returned.

It was her first day of school, and Brother Xiaoyao, the one you hear about in the tales, had not returned to the Mu family in half a month.

Baili Xia had never proactively sought any information.

So now, she didn’t even know what Brother Xiaoyao looked like, or what kind of person he was.

The old man seemed very happy that day.

He kept looking at Baili Xia during breakfast and smiled quite happily.

“Your Uncle really dotes on you.

He has taken care of everything for you, sparing me the trouble.”

“Uncle?” Baili Xia seemed surprised, turned her head to him, “Grandpa, are you saying that Uncle came back?”

“No, that guy ran off somewhere to do business and refuses to come back and see this old man.”

“But you just said…” She furrowed her brow in puzzlement.

“It was arranged by Ye Hua on your Uncle’s instructions,” Grandfather explained.

Baili Xia nodded, unaware of a slight disappointment in her own heart.

Actually, she was genuinely angry at Uncle and also hated him.

But because he had not returned for so long, she inexplicably started to care about his whereabouts.

She must have been messed up by Uncle, thinking about a man who always picked on her and abused her.

But then again, where exactly did Uncle go?

Mu Ziying, sitting across from her, turned her head to look at Mu Lingchuan and frowned.

“Brother, you know where Uncle is, don’t you?

It’s been half a month, why hasn’t he come home once?”

Mu Lingchuan moved his lips, glanced at her, then turned to look at Baili Xia.

“What are you looking at Baili Xia for?

Does Baili Xia know too?”

Mu Ziying picked up on the unusual glance he gave Baili Xia and immediately turned to Baili Xia, full of curiosity, “Uncle treats you so well, did he even tell you where he’s going?”

Uncle wouldn’t report his whereabouts to their younger generation, but Baili Xia could get Uncle to do so!

Baili Xia’s good fortune, could she even start to envy it?
