Chapter 1677

All the way, silent.

This was perhaps the quietest car ride Mu Xiaoyao and Baili Xia had ever had since they met.

How many thoughts lay hidden beneath her calm facade, he did not know.

He wanted to see through her, but it seemed he could no longer do so.

Upon arriving at the detention center, Mu Xiaoyao greeted the guards.

It didn’t take long before Baili Xia met Baili Yang in a small room.

Of course, this courtesy was only granted out of respect for Mr.

Mu of the Mu family.

Otherwise, meeting quietly in private would have been impossible.

The moment Baili Xia saw Baili Yang, her heart ached terribly.

In just one day, Baili Yang seemed to have aged significantly.

His demeanor showed a sign of old age.

“Grandpa.” Baili Xia rushed over, embracing Baili Yang tightly.

She buried her head in his arms, tears falling instantly.

Baili Yang looked up at Mu Xiaoyao, who was also looking at him.

With a nod to Baili Yang, Mu Xiaoyao opened the door and stepped out.

Mu Xiaoyao didn’t want to stay in the room and disrupt the conversation between Baili Xia and Baili Yang.

On the other hand, Baili Yang had cared for him for so many years, always showing love.

Meeting under such circumstances, he didn’t know how to face him either.

Baili Yang held Baili Xia’s shoulders, gently patting her.

“Alright, child, don’t cry, Grandpa is still fine, isn’t he?”

But after all the grievances Baili Xia had suffered, how could she immediately recover after seeing her only family member?

Her tears, like a dam bursting, flowed continuously.

Baili Yang gently lifted her shoulders, looking at her face, the tear streaks clearly visible beneath her eyes.

He reached out, gently wiping her face.

“Xiaxia, don’t worry about Grandpa, Grandpa is doing well here.”

“Grandpa is locked up, how can he be okay?” Baili Xia said, choking with emotion.

The stubbornness and strength she showed in front of Mu Xiaojiu and Mu Xiaoyao were completely gone at this moment.

“Everyone here treats Grandpa with respect, really, there’s no need to worry.”

Baili Yang sighed softly; this girl had become more haggard in just two days.

So young, just over eighteen, to bear all this alone outside, how could he bear it?

But now, ultimately, he was powerless.

“Jiu…” he paused, seeing how the girl stiffened upon hearing “Jiu.”

Baili Yang patted her shoulder, speaking softly: “Jiu has arranged everything, Grandpa is fine here, don’t worry.”

“How could he be so good? He’s a downright bastard!”

Even if everything was arranged for Grandpa, it was just to threaten her!

She had long been disillusioned with that man.

“Actually, Jiu… he’s not bad, you should know, he is also a victim.”

Even though his current situation was inseparable from Mu Xiaojiu.

But for Baili Yang, he had never hated Mu Xiaojiu.

“Grandpa can tell, Jiu treats you well, he won’t harm you.”

“The Mu family may be under Mu Xuri’s control in the future, but Jiu’s position will not be shaken, Grandpa doesn’t know how much power he has behind him, but knows for sure that no matter what, Mu Xuri wouldn’t dare to touch him lightly.”

Finally, Baili Yang reiterated: “You must stay obediently by Jiu’s side, don’t think or do anything, learn to protect yourself, understand.”
