Chapter 1686

This chess game, needless to say, everyone knows, it must have been Mu Xiaojiu’s doing.

Only he has such ability.

“I really helped everyone,” Ning Anran looked at them, looking pitiful.

“I even helped Mr.

Xiaojiu by poisoning Baili Yang’s food, so he wouldn’t have the energy to deal with…”

“Shameless!” Baili Xia abruptly stood up and slammed the bowls and chopsticks in front of her hard at Ning Anran.

Even though she knew she had done it, hearing her say it out loud, her heart felt like it was ripped in two.

Who Ning Anran poisoned, was her own grandfather!

With a bang, Ning Anran, unable to dodge, was hit on the forehead, causing a bloody cut.

Ning Anran let out a scream and immediately cried out, “Mr.

Xiaojiu, help!

She wants to kill me!”

“Outrageous!” Mu Xuri, from the main seat, glared at Baili Xia, “How dare you cause trouble here!”

“Someone, tie her up for me!”

No one responded, and Mu Xuri’s face turned completely red.

He glared at Mu Xiaojiu, “Are you just going to let this woman act recklessly in our Mu family?”

His eyes showed a hint of complexity, his thoughts shifting rapidly.

This is Jin City, not within his sphere of influence.

Moreover, his power is limited now.

Unable to mobilize even a single person, such things he would never allow to happen again!

Wen Yu also felt complicated, calling over a servant to personally take Ning Anran to get bandaged.

Ning Anran continued to look pitiful, not daring to say a word too much.

The more Baili Xia bullied her, the more everyone sympathized with her.

Moreover, she had done so much to help Mr.

Xiaojiu before, in the future, she’ll surely have some influence in front of Mu Xuri.

This wound on her forehead was worth it.

Mu Xiaojiu looked up at Baili Xia, his gaze remaining indifferent.

Baili Xia remained impassive, looking down at him, “You were the one who insisted I stay. If staying means enduring endless oppression, you might as well find another way to get back at me.”

Without looking at anyone, she turned around and strode out of the dining room.

Mu Xiaoyao stood up, glanced at Mu Xiaojiu, and followed her out.

Cold, everyone felt the chill emanating from Mu Xiaojiu.

Because of Baili Xia’s angry departure, he became extremely cold in an instant.

Mu Xuri’s face darkened, he didn’t expect Baili Xia to be so stubborn, having no fear of him at all.

He looked at Mu Xiaojiu and said calmly, “Why must you do this for an outsider?”

Mu Xiaojiu didn’t look at him, his gaze stayed in the direction where Baili Xia left.

Mu Dongyu, seeing everyone’s unpleasant expressions, tried to ease the tension.

“Forget it, let’s not hurt our harmony for an outsider.

Come on, let’s eat, let’s eat.”

Mu Haoguo echoed, “Yes, we Mufamily are one family, no matter others living here, they’re just outsiders after all.”

Mu Xuri coldly snorted, his expression easing a bit.

Mu Xiaojiu finally withdrew his gaze, scanning everyone present, then said lightly, “At the beginning of next year, I will marry her.”

Everyone present shuddered, even the servants looked at Mu Xiaojiu, momentarily confused.

“What did you say? Say it again?” Mu Xuri’s tone became excited.

Mu Xiaojiu’s eyes fell on Mu Xuri, and he repeated, “At the beginning of next year, I will marry her.”
