Chapter 1221

But now, one conspiracy unfolds after another, one bizarre incident follows another.

If she could let go of the past, how about this matter?

Someone by his side wants to kill her, but he can’t bear to lay a hand on that person…

Is the plan concocted by Uncle still in progress?

Then, what role does she exactly play within that plan?

“Xiaxia, there are things I’ve done too, I hope you can forgive me, I’ve investigated you…”

Dongfang Jin paused, then continued, “I’ve looked into everything between you and Mu Xiaojiu.”

“Mhm.” She didn’t open her eyes, merely responding faintly.

“Many things couldn’t be dug out, he’s very guarded.

However, those things that happened between you and him at Shengyi…”

“It’s easy to investigate those things anyway, and it’s normal for you to know,” she said with a bitter smile.

At that time, it was in the Shengyi conference room where Uncle had forcefully…taken her.

With two people alone in the conference room for such a long time, and so many people waiting outside, how could no one guess what had happened?

From that moment, her life was almost completely ruined by him.

“I didn’t mean to investigate you on purpose,” Dongfang Jin said, his voice hoarse.

That bastard Mu Xiaojiu, to think he had once done such excessive things to her!

If it weren’t for this girl now having fallen for that bastard, he would definitely not let him off!

He hated Mu Xiaojiu, but, what he hated even more was himself.

If it wasn’t for him driving her away from his side, how would she have suffered so much?

All of it, his fault.

“I know, you’re just looking out for me, just trying to figure out why he approached me,” she said.

Baili Xia opened her eyes, meeting his gaze, lips suddenly curving into a shallow smile.

“Jin, you’ve really been very good to me, but now… I really do like him a lot.”

Dongfang Jin’s heart ached sharply at her words, but his face still maintained a faint smile.

“Do you think all the things I did were to make you come back to me?”

Baili Xia looked at him, remaining silent.

Dongfang Jin suddenly reached out his large palm, ruffled the top of her head: “I know you like him, I’m just afraid… afraid that in the end, he will break your heart, make you regret ever knowing such a person.”

Baili Xia closed her eyes again, forcefully suppressing the sour feeling deep within her eyes.

Even Jin, who sees things clearly, why does she keep pretending not to know?

What exactly does Uncle intend to use her for?

Now, she really can’t grasp the reason.

Is it related to the Mu family or is it because of the blood in her veins?

No, Nangong Xu had no idea of her blood’s power to counteract Uncle’s poison to begin with.

Based on this point, Uncle initially was unaware of her relation to Bei Miao.

It can only be concluded that Uncle sought her out, and even beat Lord Mu to her, which means this must be related to the Mu family.

Yet the identity of Miss Mu, previously, had been taken over by Ning Anran…

Not replaced, but rather, it was her returning to her rightful position.

Thus, she no longer had any ties with the Mu family, so did Uncle still need to continue using her?

Is Uncle’s recent distancing related to these matters in an intricate and profound way?

She furrowed her brows, suddenly feeling an indescribable pain in her head.

Dongfang Jin’s long fingers pressed gently against her temples.

Despite the reluctance, after lightly pressing a couple of times, he let go.

Such overly intimate gestures, he could no longer perform.

The agreement was set, henceforth, he’s only a brother.
