Chapter 159: Uncle I'll Behave Myself 32_1

The old man had sent someone to call Baili Xia down for breakfast earlier, only to have the servant report back that she wasn’t in her room.

Seeing Ye Hua bring her back now, the people in the hallway all raised their eyebrows, a hint of something crossing their eyes.

Baili Xia had returned from Uncle’s place, which meant she had spent last night with him.

Mu Lingchuan only lingered on her a bit longer than usual, then turned back to his morning paper without another word.

Mu Xiaoyao’s gaze on her was distinctly gloomy.

Had she sought shelter at Uncle’s place in fear?

Turned out, she wasn’t fearless after all.

He snorted coldly, took a sip of the coffee handed to him by the servant, and stopped paying attention to her.

While Mu Ziying attended the same school as them, she and Mu Ziqing usually stayed with their father, Mr.

Second, in a different courtyard.

Usually, Mu Xiaoyao wouldn’t wait for her on his way to school.

Yesterday, they’d walked together only because the old man had asked Mu Ziying in advance to accompany Baili Xia.

Because Mu Xiaoyao hadn’t returned yet yesterday, the task of escorting her fell to Mu Lingchuan.

You can’t just let the driver drop her off on her first day of school and then leave her, can you?

Today wasn’t the first day, and the old man saw no need to summon Mu Ziying.

So after breakfast, the only ones leaving for school were Baili Xia and Mu Xiaoyao.

The old man walked over when he saw Baili Xia opening the back door of the car and began to laugh.

“Your brother’s car has a great view.

Sitting up front will allow you to see better scenery.

Moreover, being in the front will give you a chance to chat with your brother, why insist on sitting in the back?”

Baili Xia hesitated.

She was reluctant to sit next to Mu Xiaoyao.

What if he suddenly put a hand over and strangled her to death while driving?

Even though this thought seemed to be too cruel even for Mu Xiaoyao.

But the horror from last night, along with his ruthless face, returned to her thoughts.

She really didn’t want to mess with this man.

“Miss Xiaxia, please sit at the front.

I’ll open the door for you.”

The old butler walked over and opened the car door for her.

Now Baili Xia had no choice but to sit in the passenger seat, no matter how unwilling she was.

After both of them had gotten into the car and said their goodbyes to the old man,

Mu Xiaoyao started the car and slowly exited the main house, driving towards the grand gates of Mu Mansion.

Mu Mansion was so vast that even the front courtyard was enormous, even driving from the main house through the front courtyard would take several minutes.

This house was simply absurdly large.

Baili Xia sat in the passenger seat, next to her terrifying brother.

Throughout the journey, she didn’t dare to say a word or even look at him.

Out of fear that he would suddenly snap if she did.

Now, in Baili Xia’s mind, Mu Xiaoyao had become a synonym for fear.

So, the only thing to do with such a person was to try every means to stay away.

Since she wasn’t talking, Mu Xiaoyao certainly wasn’t going to initiate any conversation with her.

Though, he was slightly scornful of her for seeking refuge at Sihai Residence.

Nevertheless, he didn’t bother to say anything to her.

He’d given her three days, and today was the second, so he wasn’t in a hurry.

Thinking that holding onto Uncle could give her free reign in his presence?

She was simply too naïve!

Three days later, if she still hadn’t disappeared, he would surely find a way to teach her the meaning of “regret”!
