Chapter 2018

Ning Anran stared at the figure of Baili Xia, unable to snap out of her daze for a long time.

Was that Baili Xia just now really the Baili Xia she knew?

No, something was off; this Baili Xia was nothing like the Baili Xia from before.

She had learned to resist and would no longer be bullied.

She had even become cunning and scheming, making it impossible for people to see through her.

Ning Anran’s heart grew colder and colder. Baili Xia… what exactly was going on with her?

Why had she become so terrifying?

Truly… so terrifying…

…

During dinner, Mu Xiaojiu and Mu Xiaoyao did not return.

Xiaoxiao was still unconscious, so Baili Xia had to eat alone.

After dinner, she returned to her room and took out the Black Jade Continuation Cream, of which only a little more than half a bottle was left.

There was no denying that this medicine from Bei Fengjin was indeed remarkable.

Despite Xiaoxiao’s serious injury, after using it, all her muscles and bones had healed almost entirely in a short time.

Baili Xia’s gaze was cold as she put the pricey medicine into her pocket and headed out.

Not long after, she arrived at the main house.

As soon as she entered the foyer, Baili Xia saw Wen Yu sitting on the couch by the coffee table.

She composed herself and walked toward her.

“Mrs. Wen.”

Wen Yu saw that it was Baili Xia and a hint of surprise flickered in her eyes.

“Why are you here?”

As she spoke, her tone revealed unmistakable wariness.

Baili Xia had never gotten along well with the main house, especially after what happened with Ning Anran recently.

Coming here at this time felt somewhat odd.

Baili Xia smiled faintly and said gently, “I’m here to see An Ran.”

Upon realizing her earlier oversight, Wen Yu immediately regained her usual elegance and looked at her calmly.

“Looking for An Ran? She hasn’t returned yet.”

“Hasn’t returned yet?” Baili Xia exclaimed in surprise.

It was already past seven, dinner time had passed.

Ning Anran wasn’t physically well, where could she be at this time?

A flicker of something crossed Wen Yu’s eyes as she replied, “She has some things to attend to and will be back late. Are you looking for her for something?”

“I wanted to bring her some medicine.”

“What medicine? The master has plenty of good medicine for An Ran.”

Wen Yu chuckled lightly; the main house was not short of good medicine.

Baili Xia wanting to bring Ning Anran medicine seemed to belittle the abilities of the main house.

However, why the sudden offer of medicine? She and Ning Anran had always had a poor relationship.

“I got it from the Bei Family when I visited Bei Miao. It’s specifically for muscle and bone injuries,” Baili Xia said.

Worried that her words might show disrespect to Mu Xuri, she continued explaining.

“I saw Anran’s injury today, and it’s quite severe. I feel very sorry, so I thought of doing something for her.”

A noticeable emotion stirred in Wen Yu’s eyes, but her confusion became more apparent.

The Bei Family’s medicine was no ordinary item.

If it was indeed true, and Baili Xia was willing to offer it for Ning Anran, Wen Yu couldn’t help but ponder Baili Xia’s motives behind this.

Ning Anran mentioned that when she asked Baili Xia about things, she didn’t seem to remember anything from the past.

Even after losing her memory, Baili Xia’s attitude toward Ning Anran hadn’t been good.

How could she suddenly, casually, and without reason change her attitude?

Wen Yu wasn’t convinced she was genuinely coming to deliver medicine out of guilt.

“If this medicine is from the Bei Family, then it’s too valuable. I’m afraid An Ran…”

Before she could finish her sentence, Baili Xia interrupted her.

“She was injured because of me, what’s a little medicine?”

“Besides, I can ask Brother You for more later if needed.”
