Chapter 1999

Seeing Baili Xia about to leave, Ning Anran quickly took two steps forward, trying to grab her.

“Don’t go, you can’t leave without clarifying things!”

Today, Mr. Xiaojiu is not at Sihai Residence, which is a rare opportunity for her.

Once Mr. Xiaojiu returns, he won’t even give her a chance to approach Baili Xia.

She didn’t expect that Baili Xia, who had just reached the stairway, would suddenly stop at this moment.

The outstretched arm accidentally pushed against Baili Xia’s back.

Baili Xia didn’t anticipate Ning Anran’s action either; she originally intended to stop and warn her.

Unexpectedly, she was pushed forcefully.

Baili Xia lost her balance immediately, only having time to let out a cry before she went tumbling down the stairs.

Ning Anran was startled, scared stiff by this sudden scene.

She originally intended to grab Baili Xia’s hand but ended up pushing her down the stairs.

She hurriedly reached out to pull Baili Xia, but Baili Xia had already fallen.

The stairs leading to the second floor of Sihai Residence were too wide, so wide that Baili Xia couldn’t reach the handrail.

She instinctively tried to protect her head, but it was too late.

Her head hit something, like being struck heavily. She passed out.

Ning Anran stood above, watching in horror as Baili Xia rolled down to the first floor before stopping.

She was petrified, her eyes twitching violently.

If Uncle finds out about this, who knows how she will be punished!

Especially seeing Baili Xia lying motionless on the ground, her panic escalated.

She never intended to lay hands on her, she really didn’t, and she wouldn’t dare!

This is Sihai Residence; harming Baili Xia here means she wouldn’t survive.

No matter how much Mr. Xiaojiu likes her, now Baili Xia is evidently more favored; even Mr. Xiaojiu wouldn’t protect her!

Oh heavens, how did it come to this!

A trail of blood was clearly seeping from Baili Xia’s head, slowly spreading across the floor.

Ning Anran wanted to scream for help but suddenly realized it would draw others; she quickly covered her mouth with her hand.

At this moment, calling others would only shift all the blame onto herself.

Ning Anran immediately rushed down the stairs, wanting to see how Baili Xia was doing.

However, as she was about to reach downstairs, a tall figure at the hall entrance frightened her out of her wits.

“Un-Uncle…”

Her heart seemed to plummet to freezing point, and she froze midway on the stairs, not daring to move further down.

As soon as Mu Xiaojiu entered the hall, he immediately noticed Baili Xia lying on the ground.

His heart tightened, and he strode over quickly.

As he got closer and saw the blood on Baili Xia’s head, for a moment it felt as if even his heartbeat ceased.

He squatted beside Baili Xia, gently cradling her in his arms, not daring to use any force.

“How is it? Girl, wake up.”

However, Baili Xia did not respond at all.

Her body was completely limp, lying softly in Mu Xiaojiu’s embrace.

Mu Xiaojiu felt a surge of cold blood rushing to his head, and when he looked up at Ning Anran, the fury in his eyes could burn someone to ashes.

Ning Anran was utterly terrified, involuntarily stepping back.

“It wasn’t me, Uncle, really, I didn’t do it.”

She retreated as she waved her hands, truly frightened at this moment.

If Mu Xiaojiu decided that she harmed Baili Xia, who knows how he would punish her.

It might not be as simple as just being expelled from the Mu family.

Right now, Mr. Xiaojiu… is terrifying!
