Chapter 180: Uncle I'll Behave Myself 53_1

“So it was to make soup for Uncle, yet you had to be so secretive about it.”

Mu Ziqing was a keen observer and by looking at Baili Xia’s behavior, she knew what she was up to.

No wonder Uncle doted on Baili Xia, this girl was clearly trying to curry favor with him behind the scenes.

She put on such a commendable performance, trying so hard to win Uncle’s affection, but who knows what her true intentions are?

The more she thought about it, the more intense her feelings towards Baili Xia grew, it was not a mere dislike anymore, but outright hatred!

She glared at the shopping bag, her gaze full of unspeakable animosity.

“How much is this American Ginseng worth?

Tens of dollars?

Hundreds?

And this chicken?

A cheap one from the supermarket!”

She hummed dismissively, “You’re letting Uncle eat this trash?

Are you trying to help him replenish his health or harm him?

”

“What’s wrong with the chicken I bought at the supermarket?

Is it inedible?

Is it poisoned or spoiled?”

Baili Xia had been patiently enduring Mu Ziqing’s unwarranted complaints, but even she couldn’t hold back anymore.

She glared back at Mu Ziqing and huffed coldly.

“I come from an ordinary family and have been eating food from the supermarket since I was born.

Am I less attractive or physically inferior to you?”

“Baili Xia!” Mu Ziqing was instantly enraged.

Did she need to look in the mirror to confirm if she was less beautiful than Baili Xia?

“I didn’t say anything wrong.” Baili Xia paid her no mind.

Why would she bother about her when it didn’t cost her anything?

She made a face, looking innocent, “I genuinely believe I look better than you and Uncle told me I’m pretty too.”

“…” There was an awkward cough from Uncle.

The gentlemen in the hall, including Mu Lingchuan who had been silently sitting at the other end of the sofa, all cleared their throats.

Self-praise from her did not seem so off-putting…

in a way, it was…

pretty cute.

This little girl, was indeed exceptional!

Even Mu Xiaoyao couldn’t help but give her a few more glances.

Baili Xia ignored everyone, especially Mu Ziqing who was fuming with rage.

She looked at Uncle sitting next to her and pouted: “Uncle said it himself.”

That jerk did say she was beautiful, attractive, and so on, when he had her pinned underneath him.

Although those moments always made her blush and her heart race whenever she thought of them.

But, he had said them, and if that jerk dared to deny it now, she would ignore him forever!

Mu Xiaojiu cleared his throat, and under her resentful gaze, finally cracked a smile.

“Yes, my Xiaxia is the prettiest.”

His gaze then shifted to Mu Ziqing, whose face was becoming increasingly scrunched up, his voice grew colder.

” It’s just a child’s chatter; don’t take it to heart.

You’re not that young anymore.”

Her mouth was clamped shut at “you’re not that young”.

Whose age was she talking about?

Was twenty-five that old?

Of course, twenty-five is quite a bit older compared to eighteen.

But, how could Uncle say she was no longer young in front of everyone?

Which woman liked to be said she’s old?

Every woman wanted to be perceived as the cutest and the youngest in the eyes of a man!

Therefore, looking at Baili Xia, Mu Ziqing felt like tearing her apart.

As for Baili Xia, she did not pay much attention to Mu Ziqing.

She was not a big fan of quarrels.

After a brief exchange with Mu Xiaojiu, she turned around and headed for the kitchen.

Behind her, Mu Ziqing’s voice rang out again.

“Uncle, Xiaxia is now a part of our Mu family, shouldn’t she also participate in the competition next month?”
