Chapter 2117

After a moment of silence, suddenly, Zimo looked at Baili Xia: “I ran into someone in the main house.”

“Who?” Baili Xia raised an eyebrow.

The tension in her voice was obvious; Zimo rarely acted like this.

“Someone… who resembles Ye Zi a lot. She said she’s the new maid.”

Ye Zi? Baili Xia’s heart jolted, nearly letting out a gasp: “Are you sure?”

Zimo had already anticipated her reaction and shook her head.

“I don’t know; she really looks like Ye Zi. It’s been so many years, surely there’d be quite a change in appearance.”

“I spoke to her; her name is Tian, but she… she said she doesn’t know us.”

Baili Xia knitted her delicate eyebrows tightly, her vibrant eyes lowered deep in thought.

The girl who looked a lot like Ye Zi she saw outside a few days ago, could it be this Tian?

Could things really be that coincidental?

No, she had to go and see for herself, personally confirm whether this girl was Ye Zi.

Even if not, a sudden idea sparked in her mind.

If Xiaoxiao’s sudden incident was connected to this girl?

Even if she isn’t Ye Zi, Xiaoxiao might have hesitated because she looks so much like Ye Zi.

She suddenly stood up: “I’m going to have a look now.”

At that moment, anxiety overwhelmed her, overtaking her usual calm and contemplative nature.

Just as she stepped out, her hand was grabbed by Zimo.

“You can’t go now. If you go to her alone, it might upset Mr. Xuri.”

Baili Xia stopped, realizing that indeed, she couldn’t approach directly like that.

Zimo didn’t know what had happened, but she understood.

If this Tian really was the one, then perhaps behind her stood Mu Xuri.

Going to her like this would inevitably arouse Mu Xuri’s suspicion.

By then, Mu Xuri might immediately act against Xiaoxiao.

Understanding the gravity of it all, Baili Xia let out a breath, sat down again.

Beside her, Ye Hua watched in puzzled amazement.

“Who is Ye Zi?”

“Ye Zi is a friend from the orphanage we grew up in, and we lost contact with her many years ago.”

Ye Hua nodded, feeling at ease.

Their bond was so deep, no wonder Baili Xia was so agitated.

Baili Xia sat quietly, mulling over these events; the revelations were overwhelming.

If things were indeed as she suspected, then Xiaoxiao’s plight could be explained.

She hoped none of it was true because if that girl was truly Ye Zi, how should she face her in the future?

But why did Ye Zi push Xiaoxiao?

“Ye Hua, remind the brothers they should not let anyone in so easily.”

Ye Hua nodded, still not fully understanding why Baili Xia was so anxious.

In Sihai Residence, would anyone really dare to harm Xiaoxiao?

Even if so, with him around and the brothers guarding outside, would anyone have the chance?

When sending Zimo off, Baili Xia discussed with her how to approach the girl later before returning to Sihai Residence.

On the way back, she suddenly remembered she had sent a message to Xiaoyao earlier.

She quickly pulled out her phone to check.

Sure enough, there was an unread message.

“I’ll be back very late tonight, if there’s anything, let’s talk in the morning.”

Out and back at late hours again.

Since Uncle couldn’t go out, judging by their previously hectic state, Brother would be incredibly busy these days.

She wondered if he was taking care of himself outside, if he was being cautious.

Even Uncle was involved; she… was really worried about who might be next.
