Chapter 1951

Arriving here, Baili Xia thought of her good friend.

“Xiaoxiao went to see Zimo, and she should have lunch at the main house,” Ye Hua said with a smile.

Baili Xia put on a stern face, pretending to be upset, “Didn’t I ask you to take care of her? How did you let her run around?”

Ye Hua smiled wryly, “It’s not that I don’t want to take care of her, but this young lady is hard to serve.”

“As soon as she feels slightly better, she runs around everywhere. I can’t follow her non-stop, she’d despise me for that.”

Baili Xia chuckled, “I’m just teasing you, why so nervous?”

She could see that Ye Hua’s care for Xiaoxiao was thorough.

Even though the two always bicker, Ye Hua’s serious attitude leaves no room for doubt.

Ye Hua smiled awkwardly, then looked at Mu Xiaojiu, “Mr. Xiaojiu, Mr. Mu has gone out for business and hasn’t returned yet, so you and Miss Xiaxia will have lunch together.”

Mu Xiaojiu nodded slightly, indifferent, and stepped into the hall.

Baili Xia felt somewhat disappointed, but she had no choice.

It seems Uncle didn’t lie to her, Brother is really busy, no wonder he didn’t have time to pick her up.

After lunch, Baili Xia returned to her room, finally able to rest properly.

By the time her door was knocked, it was already dark outside.

“Miss Xiaxia, Mr. Xiaojiu asked me to invite you to dinner.”

Outside the door, Ye Hua’s familiar voice sounded.

Baili Xia opened her eyes and struggled to get up from the bed.

After the helicopter incident, she still felt exhausted, genuinely scared.

“Okay, I’ll be right down.”

She replied, letting Ye Hua go down first.

After freshening up, Baili Xia changed clothes and went downstairs.

In the side hall, Uncle, Brother, and Xiaoxiao were all present.

Upon seeing Baili Xia, Xiaoxiao immediately wanted to stand up.

Baili Xia quickly walked over and pressed her back into the seat.

“Alright, I’m not a big deal, nor is this the first time seeing me, don’t get so excited.”

Xiaoxiao laughed heartily and reached to hug Baili Xia.

“I missed you so much, Xiaxia.”

Seeing Xiaoxiao’s change, Baili Xia found it quite amazing.

Staying in the Mu Mansion for a while, she’s grown much bolder.

Though she was brave before, she’s always been reserved before Uncle.

“I missed you too,” said Baili Xia with a smile.

Beside them, Mu Xiaoyao already looked dismissive.

“Stop being so mushy, hurry up and sit down to eat.”

Baili Xia snorted, turned her gaze, and glared at him before letting go of Xiaoxiao.

She sat down next to Mu Xiaoyao, “We’re just normal people, unlike you IT whizzes.”

Mu Xiaoyao glanced at her blandly, ignoring her.

This girl, Uncle says she’s changed, but she’s clearly still as naughty as ever.

“There’s the Eight Big Families banquet tomorrow, prepare yourself.”

“What Eight Big Families banquet?” Baili Xia involuntarily asked.

Seeing the confusion in her eyes, Mu Xiaoyao patiently explained.

“It’s the annual gathering organized by the Eight Big Families after the Spring Festival.”

Suddenly Baili Xia understood why Uncle was so keen to bring her back; it must have something to do with this banquet.

“On the surface, it’s just a gathering, but it’s actually a process of mutual competition,” Mu Xiaoyao continued.

“Competition over what?”

“Like charity auctions, of course, the lowest game being those tedious beauty contests among girls.”

Baili Xia couldn’t help but roll her eyes at him, what does he mean by beauty contests among girls have to be the lowest?

The love of beauty is human nature; which girl doesn’t love beauty, which man doesn’t love watching beauties?
