Chapter 1665

“I’m fine.” Zimo turned her face aside, avoiding Mu Lingchuan’s large hand.

At any time, she would instinctively try to dodge his touch.

“What’s going on with you?” Mu Lingchuan frowned.

Feeling unwell at one moment and fine the next, she…

seemed guilty.

“What are you hiding from me?” His face darkened as his voice went cold.

“Nothing, nothing at all!” Zimo immediately shook her head, her behavior totally showing her guilt.

She was never good at lying, and moreover, someone like Mu Lingchuan was not someone she could easily deceive.

However, after Mu Lingchuan’s eyes flickered for a moment, he didn’t pursue the matter further.

“Since there’s nothing wrong, then, come down to have dinner with me.”

He clasped her wrist in one move, leading her to the door, giving her no chance to refuse.

Zimo really had no choice but to casually close the door and go downstairs with him.

“Uh… where’s your brother? I mean, Mr. Mu.”

Once downstairs and in the hall, seeing no one but the servants, Zimo couldn’t help but tentatively ask.

“He’s at Sihai Residence with Xiaxia.”

“Xiaxia is at Sihai Residence?” Zimo was stunned and nearly rushed over to Sihai Residence.

“Is there a problem?” Mu Lingchuan stopped, staring at her face.

Since his return, he had felt that this girl was very unusual today.

Could it be related to Xiaxia?

Zimo didn’t dare to look at him, only kept her head down.

She really couldn’t tell a lie.

If this had nothing to do with Xiaxia and was her own matter, she would definitely have just told Mr.

Mu that she couldn’t say.

But, since it’s Xiaxia’s matter, she was afraid she might accidentally cause trouble for Xiaxia.

Just as they were at a stalemate, the TV in the hall, which was still on, suddenly started broadcasting a piece of news.

“Former president of the Mu Group, Sir Mu, has been revealed today to be not Mu Zhentian himself, but an underling named Baili Yang who fought alongside Mu Zhentian years ago.”

“Mu family’s third son, Mu Xuri, ‘comes back from the dead’ to testify that Baili Yang killed Mu Zhentian’s younger brother, Mu Canghai, back then…”

“Currently, Baili Yang has been taken away by the police.

For the full report, please watch today’s lunchtime news…”

“Xiaxia…” Zimo’s palm tightened.

Ignoring Mu Lingchuan, she turned and rushed out of the hall.

Mu Lingchuan was still watching the TV screen, somewhat dazed.

Although he had long known this day would come for this matter,

seeing the scene of the old man being taken away by the police still made his heart ache a bit.

No matter if this grandfather was real or fake, he had always been good to them all these years.

Strict discipline was all for their growth.

Compared to elders of other families, the old man…

was really very good…

Because he was too lost in thought, he didn’t even notice that Zimo had already left the hall for quite a while…

…

Outside the hall of Sihai Residence, Leng Yu blocked Zimo.

“I want to see Xiaxia.” Zimo, with a cold face, was about to rush inside.

Leng Yu immediately stepped forward again, blocking her path.

“Sihai Residence isn’t a place you can come to at will.

Now, get out of here!”

“Tell me, is Xiaxia inside?”

“So what if she is?” Leng Yu stared at her, expressionless: “I won’t let you in.”

“Move!” Zimo didn’t feel like wasting words with her!

She swung a punch, holding back almost nothing.
