Chapter 2106

Mu Xuri raised an eyebrow: “Disinfection?”

The scent of the disinfectant used for sterilization can mask the smell of blood. For an experienced person like him, how could he not know?

Could it be that Jiu’s injury wasn’t as mild as he pretended?

The lighting in Sihai Residence is so dim—is it meant to hide the weakness caused by his injury?

“What’s wrong, Third Uncle? Is there something amiss?” Ning Anran asked.

Mu Xuri ignored her, his gaze shifted to Wen Yu, his eyes dark.

“Did you notice anything just now?”

Wen Yu still stood at the door, her mind jumbled, somewhat dazed.

In this place, she felt an indescribable sensation towards Mu Xuri.

Ning Anran was sitting there too; last time, she clearly saw through what she was doing in the study.

It was such an embarrassing and disgraceful situation.

“Mrs. Wen, Third Uncle is asking you?” A crisp voice from the front pulled her wandering thoughts back.

Wen Yu shuddered and looked ahead.

“Sir, what did you say?”

Seeing her absent-minded demeanor, a surge of anger inexplicably rose within Mu Xuri.

If it weren’t for Ning Anran’s presence, he might have taken that cane and thrown it over.

“Did you notice anything wrong with Jiu?” he asked coldly.

Wen Yu’s heart tightened, her brows furrowed.

Those hands, she was increasingly certain, weren’t Jiu’s hands.

People can resemble one another, but hands are without a doubt different.

Many times before, Mu Xiaojiu had been injured, and it was she who bandaged and treated him personally.

She was too familiar with those hands.

Mu Xuri assumed she was reminiscing and didn’t interrupt her, just quietly waited.

After a while, Wen Yu’s brows unfurrowed, she looked at Mu Xuri and said, “The light was really too dim, I didn’t notice anything unusual about Jiu.”

Mu Xuri raised an eyebrow: “You didn’t notice he seemed different from usual?”

He was skeptical that Wen Yu hadn’t noticed.

Mu Xuri knew this woman was so close to Jiu and seemed to have some interest in him.

Even he felt Jiu wasn’t quite the same; could this woman really not notice?

Wen Yu’s heart tightened, meeting Mu Xuri’s gaze, trying her best to appear relaxed.

She said, “The light was too dim, I truly didn’t notice anything.”

“You didn’t notice, yet interrupted me and told me to leave?”

Mu Xuri’s eyes burned with rage, his hand slapped heavily on the wheelchair armrest: “Damn it, what were you thinking?”

“Xuri, don’t be anxious, at that time…”

Wen Yu paused before continuing, “I was afraid if you kept pressing him, it would make him more resistant.”

“That’s no excuse for interrupting me!” Mu Xuri was so angry he wanted to take up the cane and throw it at her!

Though he didn’t know precisely how Mu Xiaojiu was different from usual, he felt something was amiss!

Even he sensed it, could Wen Yu truly feel nothing?

He didn’t believe for a second this was Wen Yu’s honest words!

This woman, with her close relationship with Jiu, she knew too many of his secrets!

If one day she betrayed him, the damage would be immense.

If Wen Yu wasn’t still of some value, he might have taken action.

Suppressing the chilly aura, Mu Xuri returned to his usual somber demeanor.

“Pay more attention to the main house over these days, if possible, go over and take a look.”

“Alright,” Wen Yu agreed.

Mu Xuri glanced at her, not bothering to address her anymore.

“You can go back now, I have some things to discuss with Anran.”
