Chapter 1827

“So?” Mu Xiaojiu raised an eyebrow.

The fact that Bei Qingyou and Bei Fengjin were romantically involved was something he and Xiaxia already knew while they were in Bei Miao.

But unfortunately, Bei Qingyou later left the Bei Family, and left Bei Fengjin as well.

Afterward, Bei Qingyou was supposed to be with Baili Sheng.

He just didn’t know that the relationship among these three was quite deep.

“So I’ve started to have some doubts about who Xiaxia’s biological father really is.”

After speaking, he looked at Mu Xiaojiu, his eyes deeply furrowed, waiting for his response.

Mu Xiaojiu’s mind was rapidly turning; when at the Bei Family, he had also known about the past affair between Bei Fengjin and Bei Qingyou.

But he didn’t know that Baili Sheng had been an old friend of theirs.

The previous explanation was that because the relationship between Bei Qingyou and Bei Fengjin wasn’t accepted by the family, they left the Bei Family.

And Xiaxia was born after Bei Qingyou left the Bei Family.

This led everyone to naturally assume that Xiaxia was Baili Sheng’s child.

Moreover, during that time, Baili Sheng did publicly claim that he had a child.

If not, Baili Yang wouldn’t have continued to search relentlessly for his granddaughter all these years.

But if Bei Qingyou was already pregnant when she left the Bei Family…

Mu Xiaojiu didn’t speak, and neither did Dongfang Jin; everything was just speculation.

If they wanted to know the truth, there was actually a simple, direct, and rough method!

“Don’t tell her about this for the time being.” After a while, Mu Xiaojiu finally spoke.

Dongfang Jin nodded: “I ran into her and Xiaoyao together during lunch; Xiaoyao had already warned me.”

After pausing, he continued: “However, the resentment between the Mu family and Baili Yang—she’ll recall it sooner or later.

You can’t hide it from her forever.”

“That’s a matter for the future.”

Mu Xiaojiu also understood that there were too many things and people beyond his control.

Even if the girl couldn’t remember, eventually, there would be a way for her to learn about past events.

The current state was good; at least the girl wouldn’t resent him and still viewed him positively.

He would think of ways to handle other matters…

Dongfang Jin noticed a flash of unease in his eyes, which he could understand.

Upon returning, seeing Mu Xiaoyao and Baili Xia together and knowing Xiaxia had been hurt because of Lu Xuening’s matter,

he still couldn’t figure out his own feelings, nor did he know exactly what to do that would be perfect.

So he decided to first find Mu Xiaojiu and have a good talk with him.

For the time being, keeping everything as it is seemed to be the best course of action.

At least this way, the girl could be happy for now.

As for Baili Xia’s background, Mu Xiaojiu would undoubtedly be more eager to find out than him.

“However, it’s said that that Mr. Fengjin lives a secluded life and is a master of alchemy. It wouldn’t be easy to get something from him.”

Dongfang Jin had also visited the Bei Family a few times, and because of Baili Xia’s background, he had even personally visited Jin Ye Pavilion.

Unfortunately, on several occasions, he couldn’t meet Bei Fengjin.

“For someone proficient in alchemy, obtaining a single item from him is indeed difficult, let alone a blood sample.”

As for hair, if it’s just a dead strand, it’s utterly useless.

Moreover, he couldn’t just go into Jin Ye Pavilion and search for any stray hair Bei Fengjin might have left behind.

So during his visits to the Bei Family, he returned empty-handed, gaining nothing.
