Chapter 1708

Xuri spoke with such righteousness that if Baili Xia hadn’t suspected him, she would have thought he was truly being framed.

But Baili Xia’s grandfather was innocent, and these words were merely her speculation; her grandfather had never said them.

In fact, her grandfather also didn’t want to suspect him, because in his heart, Xuri had been dead for many years.

After all, Xuri was Mu Zhentian’s son, and since he was already dead, why bother to suspect him?

This time, Xuri’s resurrection and appearance before everyone must have even shocked her grandfather to the core.

Baili Yang was unwilling to suspect Xuri, but Baili Xia was different.

From her perspective, she owed the Mu family nothing and had no relation to Mu Zhentian.

She could look at the matter rationally, unlike Baili Yang, who still had feelings for Mu Zhentian clouding his thoughts.

She had always suspected Xuri since, at that time, only Mu Canghai and Xuri were present.

Mu Canghai died, Xuri fled; if she didn’t suspect Xuri, who else could she suspect?

However, Xuri’s words were flawless, and there was no evidence to make anyone doubt him.

If he could be provoked, would he potentially reveal a flaw?

After a few seconds of thought, Baili Xia spoke again: “Grandfather only came to help your father stabilize the Mu family; he didn’t want any of the family’s assets.”

“But you…

you’ve schemed for so many years just to come back and seize the Mu family’s assets!”

“You bastard, what nonsense are you spouting?

This is all my Mu family’s property, it’s Baili Yang who has been scheming to seize our industry!”

“Your account of the past events is just one side of the story, the truth of the matter— even Mu Xiaojiu might have been deceived by you.”

Baili Xia stared at him, and she had no respect for such an elder.

On the contrary, her eyes were full of disdain.

Xuri was also shocked in his heart, not expecting Baili Xia to actually suspect him.

He seemed to realize that the more he said, the more mistakes he might make, and it was better not to speak.

Even though Baili Xia’s words directly accused him, he still suppressed the anger in his chest.

“You girl are truly crazy; I don’t know how Jiu has been educating you, speaking such nonsense to me is simply ridiculous.”

After speaking, he called out to someone behind him: “Come here.”

The maid quickly ran out, came to Xuri’s side, and said respectfully, “Sir.”

Xuri gently lifted his hand and pointed forward.

“Xuri, do you think by not speaking, what you’ve done won’t be discovered?”

Baili Xia chased after him, angrily shouting: “When Mu Canghai had his accident, only you and he were present!”

“That’s just nonsense from Baili Yang; I witnessed him kill my second uncle with my own eyes.”

Xuri snorted coldly: “The evidence is solid; if you want to seek justice, go to the judge!”

“Xuri…”

“You better remember your identity. In the Mu family, if you’re audacious again, even Jiu might not be able to protect you.”

Xuri glared at the maid.

The maid understood and pushed him out of the courtyard, leaving.

Baili Xia stood in place, quietly watching his departing figure, not stopping him.

Actually, she couldn’t stop him; she had nothing in the Mu family and was unable to fight Xuri openly.

After Xuri completely disappeared at the courtyard entrance, Baili Xia turned around and walked toward the hall.

An old fox is always an old fox; it’s not so easy to expose a flaw.

She was just too impatient.
