Chapter 2020

Baili Xia’s face showed a hint of a smile, and she said, “How could I possibly blame Uncle? It’s just that seeing An Ran so badly injured made me a bit upset.”

“Could you please give this medicine to An Ran, Mrs. Wen? I’ve used it for Xiaoxiao before, and it really works well.”

Mentioning Xiaoxiao brought a faint sadness to Baili Xia’s face.

“Alright, since that’s the case, I’ll take it on her behalf.”

Wen Yu reached out to take the small bottle.

Mu Xuri had been staring at Baili Xia’s face, but no unusual signs could be seen.

After thinking for a moment, he suddenly asked, “How is Xiaoxiao’s condition now?”

“Not good, Master says it’s difficult for her to wake up.”

“Did Xiaoyao find anything when checking the surveillance footage?” Mu Xuri continued to ask.

Baili Xia shook her head and said, “There isn’t a single clue in the footage, perhaps it really was an accident, and we’re overthinking it.”

Mu Xuri softly replied, dropping his gaze in thought.

After a while, he said, “It looks like we’ll need to set up more surveillance in the back mountain.”

“In case someone else has an accident, it will be easier to find out the cause.”

Baili Xia forced a bitter smile, not saying anything.

No matter what’s done now, it won’t help Xiaoxiao anymore.

The three of them had a casual chat for a few minutes before Baili Xia took her leave.

Mu Xuri watched Baili Xia’s departing figure, his eagle-like eyes slightly narrowing.

Only when Baili Xia left the yard did Wen Yu stand up and come to his side.

“What exactly is she trying to do?”

No matter how the conversation seemed pleasant earlier, she still felt Baili Xia’s visit wasn’t merely about delivering the medicine.

Mu Xuri withdrew his sharp gaze; at this moment, even he couldn’t figure out Baili Xia’s intentions.

“Call Ning Anran back.”

Perhaps, only by questioning Ning Anran, the person who used to be most familiar with Baili Xia, can they understand her real intentions.

“However…” Wen Yu looked at Mu Xuri, hesitant to speak.

“Just say it, there’s no need to be so formal between us, right?”

A touch of impatience flashed in Mu Xuri’s eyes.

Wen Yu looked at his increasingly indifferent face recently, knowing that her actions have been unsatisfactory to him lately.

Lately, Mu Xuri’s attitude toward her hasn’t been good, markedly worse than before.

However, having been by his side for so long, she’s grown accustomed to his irritable temperament.

Wen Yu sighed gently, then said, “I sense that Baili Xia’s connection with the Bei Family is significant. If we can foster a good relationship with her, it will certainly be beneficial for us with no downside.”

“Her grandfather died because of us.” Mu Xuri’s face was somber.

“But she has already forgotten about the past.”

Though Wen Yu couldn’t really tell if Baili Xia was pretending or not.

It’s true that she was previously kidnapped by Lu Xuening, who tampered with her memory.

The informants placed in the Sihai Residence have been observing for such a long time, but haven’t found anything suspicious.

Judging by Baili Xia’s attitude towards them, it doesn’t seem hateful, nor particularly amicable; if she remembered the past, she wouldn’t act like this.

If she remembered, she would either hate them deeply or pretend to be friendly to ingratiate herself.

But now, although Baili Xia is slightly more amicable, she is far from ingratiating herself.

“Whatever the case, since this girl’s attitude towards us isn’t bad at the moment, we can observe for a while longer.”

She looked at Mu Xuri and smiled, “Pretending to be cordial with her first won’t hurt us after all.”
