Chapter 1631

“I’ll try to check with Uncle, to see if I can find out his recent plans, but…”

She lowered her gaze, knowing that before the whole truth is revealed, she has no right to tell him anything.

But this is her grandfather, and grandfather…

truly took everything from the Mu family.

Finally, she looked up at him: “If… I mean if it’s something that doesn’t belong to him, grandfather… perhaps there really is no need to be so persistent.”

Such words are very rude, but that’s how she feels inside.

“Sorry, grandfather, I’ll be going now.

“Wait!” Whether it belongs to him or not, these things, the old man can’t think about these for now.

If Mu Xiaojiu really misunderstood all this, then even if he lets go now, Mu Xiaojiu won’t spare him.

The most fearful thing is…

implicating the people closest to him.

“You don’t need to investigate these matters.” The old man said lightly.

He gently shook his head, looking at her, with a kind of tender pity in his eyes that even he was unaware of.

“I will deal with these matters. You just need to stay by Jiu’s side obediently, as if none of this ever happened, and act as if you know nothing.”

Baili Xia stared at him for a long time without speaking.

She understood the old man’s intention; what he needed most now was to know Uncle’s plans, and she…

was the one most likely to get close to Uncle.

How could he not need her help?

He’s just worried something might happen to her.

Even without saying much more, at this moment, Baili Xia knew the old man chose to trust her.

Inside her heart was warmth, a heart that seemed to have wandered for a long time finally returned to a sheltered harbor.

“I understand.” She nodded firmly, quickly turned away, not letting him see the mist in her eyes.

Baili Xia walked to the window, looked outside, and saw no sign of anyone.

“I’m leaving, grandfather, take care.”

After saying this, Baili Xia pushed open the window, climbed out, and soon disappeared from sight.

The old man quietly watched the window from which Baili Xia left, unable to come back to his senses for a long time.

This child, just because of concern for his safety, took such a big risk to come to him, how could he not be moved?

Deep down, he also inclined to believe her.

If you think about it carefully, this is indeed extremely terrifying.

Why does everything Ning Anran does and shows make him unconsciously recall many things?

What if, from the very beginning, it was already a setup…

Thinking this way, his mood suddenly became heavy, and even his heart felt a sharp pain.

That child, how much he loves her!

“Old Master…” Feng Gang’s voice came, pulling the old man’s consciousness back.

His gaze fell on Feng Gang, and he shook his head slightly.

This subtle move made Feng Gang’s heart tighten.

The old man truly is old, back then when had he ever been so desolate?

Baili Yang, how brave he was when charging into battle?

Mu Zhentian is indeed talented, but, without Baili Xia as his capable helper, he wouldn’t have reached that point.

The old man was once a silent hero, forever standing behind Mu Zhentian.

Back then, he was still a young soldier, yet he also witnessed their spectacular journey firsthand.

Now?

They’ve got money, power, and everything.

But all these years, when have you seen the old man truly happy?

Throughout these years, shouldering someone else’s family, constantly worried about being exposed.

Is he…

truly living well?
