Chapter 1653

“Uncle, Uncle please, don’t hurt my grandfather, Uncle, I beg you!”

Baili Xia knelt, chasing after them, but Mu Xiaojiu and Ye Hua still strode away.

The two towering figures quickly disappeared from their sight.

After they left, Baili Xia got up from the ground.

She walked over to Mu Xiaoyao and said, “Brother, let me go out once, please?”

But Mu Xiaoyao ignored her, his face still as cold as ever.

He reached out and took one of her hands, pulling her towards the second floor.

“Brother, Brother! Listen to me, you just came out to protect me, why can’t you help me again? I beg you, I beg you!”

Baili Xia was anxious, desperately pulling back.

But how could her strength compare to Mu Xiaoyao’s?

Mu Xiaoyao just casually grabbed her shoulders with both hands and lifted her up.

“Brother, no! Brother, I beg you, please, Brother!”

No matter how Baili Xia struggled, Mu Xiaoyao never put her down.

Going up to the second floor, Mu Xiaoyao placed Baili Xia in her room, then left and locked the door.

Mu Xiaoyao was still that brother, he could stand up to Uncle for her, but he would never defy Uncle’s orders.

Baili Xia’s tears constantly fell from her eyes as she pounded on the door with her small hands, never stopping for a moment.

The sound of knocking came incessantly from the room, unsettling anyone who heard it.

“Brother, Brother, are you still there?

Please, let me see Uncle again, let me see him again.”

“Brother, Brother, tell Uncle that as long as he spares my grandfather, we don’t want anything, please.”

“We really don’t want anything, I just want my grandfather to live well, I beg you, Brother!”

“Brother…”

The cries, one after another, filled Mu Xiaoyao’s heart with a twinge of sorrow.

The knocking was so loud, didn’t that girl’s hands hurt?

Crying like this, her eyes would be swollen again later…

He should have turned away, after all, that girl couldn’t get out anyway.

But his mood was heavy, and his legs felt as heavy as if they weighed a thousand pounds.

Standing outside the door, just standing there, unable to take even half a step away.

Why did she have to be Baili Yang’s granddaughter?

If she wasn’t, if Ning Anran was, wouldn’t everything be perfect?

He didn’t have too much sympathy, nor did Uncle, everything had been set up for so many years, Uncle had been waiting for this day.

How could Uncle possibly give up?

Even if that girl went to him, of what use would it be?

The murder of a father is an unforgivable enmity, going to him…

it’s useless!

Baili Xia’s voice was hoarse from shouting, but still, there was no movement from outside.

Tears blurred her eyes, yet she continued to knock on the door, calling hoarsely.

“Brother, please, tell Uncle, this is all a misunderstanding.”

“My grandfather didn’t kill Mu Canghai, they were friends, grandpa wouldn’t harm him!”

“Brother, tell Uncle, grandpa really didn’t!”

“If grandpa really had killed Mu Canghai, how could he have raised Mu Canghai’s son like his own all these years?”

“Brother, how has grandpa treated you all these years? Do you really feel nothing? Has he ever harmed you?”

Mu Xiaoyao closed his eyes, tightly clenching his fists.

The old man…

indeed had never harmed them.

In fact, all these years, he had always been in the role of a real grandfather, teaching them how to conduct themselves and their affairs.

Mu Group, under his hands, although not as fast-developing as in Uncle’s hands, had also grown considerably.

The Mu family having its current status among the Eight Big Families, the old man’s contribution was indispensable.
