Chapter 1697

Wen Yu slowly spoke after suppressing the stifling feeling in her chest.

“Talk, there’s a reason for everything people do. The Mu Mansion really doesn’t suit you, state your conditions.”

Once calm, her thoughts were much clearer.

Her words became much gentler, making Baili Xia feel a lot more at ease.

But Baili Xia knew that this was the woman’s cunning.

She said indifferently, “If you have the ability to make Mr. Xiaojiu let me go, then I would be very grateful to you.”

Wen Yu was slightly stunned.

She knew Jiu’s temper very well; once he decided something, nobody could change it.

If she could do it, why would she come to talk to Baili Xia?

After thinking for a moment, Wen Yu said softly, “Jiu’s temper is stubborn; he isn’t easy to persuade, right?”

“If you can’t persuade him, then persuading me is useless.” Baili Xia said, unimpressed.

“How could it be useless? As long as you’re willing, I can definitely help you.”

Seeing that Baili Xia was willing to talk to her, Wen Yu patiently continued to persuade her.

“Since you don’t want to be with him, I’ll help you leave.”

“As long as you’re determined to leave, I have a way.”

“…”

Wen Yu kept persuading, almost exhausting every word she could think of.

Until Baili Xia’s gaze went past her, falling behind her.

Wen Yu felt the sudden chill from behind and stopped speaking.

She turned around and froze in place.

Mu Xiaojiu stood at the second-floor stairway, coldly staring at her.

“You guys talk, I’m going back to my room.”

Baili Xia said lightly, then shut the door and went back to her room.

She thought Wen Yu probably had a lot to explain to Mu Xiaojiu.

But those things had nothing to do with her at all.

If this woman truly had the ability to let her leave Mu Xiaojiu while ensuring her grandfather lived well in prison.

Then she would be immensely grateful, not even needing to pack, she would leave immediately.

But she knew, Wen Yu couldn’t, because Wen Yu simply didn’t have that capability.

When Mu Xiaojiu decided something, was it so easily changed?

Wen Yu…

she didn’t understand that man at all.

She climbed onto the bed and quietly lay down.

She didn’t want to hear anything outside, but her hearing was just that good, what to do?

Outside was so quiet, so quiet that one could hear a pin drop.

Wen Yu was very nervous, a strange sense of fear rose in her heart.

Jiu could be said to have been raised by her from childhood, why would she be afraid facing him?

This was a feeling she had never had before.

But now, such fear truly appeared in her heart.

“Jiu…” she softly called.

Mu Xiaojiu finally moved, taking slow, seemingly heavy steps towards Wen Yu.

The slow steps added considerable pressure on her.

Wen Yu took two deep breaths, pretending to be relaxed and said, “Jiu, why are you here?”

As soon as she finished speaking, she felt the question was unnecessary.

Coming here, what else could it be for other than to find Baili Xia?

Moreover, the room Baili Xia was staying in was originally his.

Mu Xiaojiu got closer and closer to Wen Yu, making it hard for her to breathe.

He stopped only when he was a little more than a meter away from her.

“I’m here to find you.” Mu Xiaojiu said, his voice cold without a hint of warmth.

“Find me?” Wen Yu exclaimed, as a bad premonition suddenly appeared in her mind.
