Chapter 1889: Capítulo 1889: Chapter 1892

“And this is…?” Bei Shengri’s mind turned as his gaze fell on Bei Tianyou.

Bei Tianyou also sensed something unusual between them and glanced at Wu Ming.

“This is the one Mr. Xiaojiu sent to protect Xiaxia, called Wu Ming.”

Wu Ming — even Bei Tianyou had long found his identity peculiar.

Although he was merely sent by Mu Xiaojiu to protect Xiaxia, he could feel Wu Ming was definitely not an ordinary person.

“So he’s one of Mr. Xiaojiu’s men; he must be an expert,” Bei Shengri remarked.

Bei Tianyou didn’t speak. Matters like these were for Wu Ming to handle, and he also wanted to see how Wu Ming would respond.

Wu Ming gave Bei Shengri a cold look, a trace of disdain flickering in his eyes.

Bei Shengri clearly hadn’t expected Wu Ming to be so arrogant here.

Yet that sharp gaze distinctly left him with a chill of fear.

This person was formidable!

The young man beside Bei Shengri couldn’t sit still and exclaimed, “He’s just a follower, what right does he have to stand on equal footing with the Bei Family?”

He dared to disrespect even his father — the arrogance was extreme! How could he tolerate it?

“Don’t talk nonsense,” Bei Shengri scolded.

Mysteriously, he felt that if they angered the person across from them, it wouldn’t end well for them.

Old hands like him had a keen eye.

Bei Zicheng was startled, not expecting his father to have such an attitude.

Earlier, he clearly felt his father disliked Wu Ming; how did his attitude change in a flash?

Bei Kuangri and Bei Qingyue didn’t want to get involved in this conflict.

If Bei Shengri and Mu Xiaojiu clashed, they would be happy to see it.

It’s understood that one’s downfall is another’s gain.

If Bei Shengri provoked Mu Xiaojiu, he would undoubtedly be checked, making it even harder for him to contest with them within the Bei Family.

Bei Zicheng reconsidered, saying, “Father, I meant no offense.”

“It’s just that since Miss Xiaxia is cousin’s fiancée, isn’t it inappropriate for Mr. Xiaojiu to have a man protect her?”

The point seemed valid, even the Old Madam frowned after hearing it.

After all, Baili Xia is a lady, accompanied by a grown man.

Even though he’s a man with a marred face, his build and aura are in no way less impressive than Tianyou from their family.

In fact, there’s a unique charisma about him absent in Tianyou.

Thinking this, even the Old Madam felt somewhat discontented.

Nangong Yun had been sitting quietly by the side, saying nothing.

Ever since she was punished and grounded by the Old Madam after the last incident, she seemed much more obedient.

More well-behaved than ever before.

Looking at Bei Tianyou’s expression, he seemed completely unfazed, as if he hadn’t heard any of it.

Only then did Nangong Yun muster some courage, speaking up in agreement, “Yes, Xiaxia, it really seems inappropriate. Perhaps you should ask Mr. Xiaojiu if he can arrange for someone else to protect you.”

Wu Ming’s piercing gaze immediately shot towards her, freezing her body on the spot, her words swallowed back down inside.

This man — she memorized him completely within a split second.

A… formidable presence not inferior to Mr. Xiaojiu at all.

When did Mr. Xiaojiu acquire such a formidable expert at his side? She had known Mr. Xiaojiu for years; how could she not know?

Wu Ming’s voice, as cold as Mu Xiaojiu’s words, rang out.

“Mr. Xiaojiu’s arrangements do not need your considerations.”
