Chapter 1650

“Since it’s just a misunderstanding, is there really no way to prove to Uncle that his father’s death back then had nothing to do with you?”

Baili Xia was truly worried, torn between the man she loved the most and her grandfather.

It was just a misunderstanding to begin with, but now, is it too late to clarify?

“If it were that easy to clarify, today’s situation wouldn’t have arisen.”

The old man looked at her, his face full of concern.

“Don’t stay here with me; hurry and leave before anyone finds out.”

“This matter is between your grandfather and Jiu; you shouldn’t get involved.”

“Grandfather…

might not be able to keep you safe.

Since Jiu brought you back, yet let Ning Anran replace you, I fear he truly has feelings for you.”

“Grandfather…” Baili Xia’s heart trembled, not expecting her grandfather to see it all so clearly.

Why, then, did he promise to let her marry Brother back then?

“It’s only because of recent events that I’ve realized all this.”

In the past, when everything was calm, he really knew nothing.

“If Jiu didn’t have feelings for you, after Ning Anran successfully took your place, you would have been sent away far from here.”

Thinking about it carefully, this is the only explanation: Jiu really fell for Xiaxia and wants to keep her by his side.

Otherwise, with Mr.

Xiaojiu’s swift and ruthless methods, how could Baili Xia still be safely by his side?

“Just pretend you don’t know anything, and don’t come looking for your grandfather.

We’ll talk about everything after this is completely over.”

Seeing her silent, the old man intensified his tone, “Promise me!”

“Grandfather…”

“Promise me, don’t get involved.

Even if one day I lose completely, if Jiu believes you know nothing about this, you can still stay peacefully by his side all your life.

He won’t make things difficult for a young girl like you.”

Baili Xia remained silent.

If Uncle truly goes against grandfather, and grandfather suffers because of Uncle…

Even knowing Uncle is innocent, she couldn’t comfortably stay by his side all her life.

Is there really no way to turn this around?

“Don’t worry, I will do my best to win this battle for you!” the old man said determinedly.

Baili Xia shook her head, “Grandfather, don’t go up against Uncle, he just misunderstood, he means no harm.”

“Grandfather is also stuck in a difficult position now.”

In this situation, it’s no longer his decision to make.

“I’m not going against him; it’s just for my own protection now.”

“Only if I can protect myself, can I protect you.

There are many things in the business world that you don’t understand, girl.”

“But…” Baili Xia looked up at him, clutching his sleeve.

“Then can grandfather also promise me, no matter what, not to harm Uncle?”

The old man looked at her, not responding immediately.

In Baili Xia’s eyes, there was a hint of pleading, “Back then, Uncle wasn’t even born. He knows nothing, grandfather, don’t harm him, I beg you.”

The old man sighed heavily.

It would be extremely difficult to harm Mu Xiaojiu, anyway.

This girl, she truly has feelings for Jiu.

He gently patted her head and said softly, “Even if I could, I promise you, I will never harm him.”

Jiu is Mu Canghai’s son; how could he possibly hurt him?

“Hurry and leave; the longer you stay, the easier it is for someone to find you. Go quickly!”
