Chapter 2132

Ye Zi is a delicate and frail girl, it wouldn’t be an exaggeration to call her weak.

But this Tian, her eyes reveal determination, and her petite frame stands straight and tall.

At first glance, she gives off a particularly strong impression.

“Let’s not stand here, let’s go to the hall and sit down to chat.”

Zimo reached out and took Baili Xia’s hand, and the two walked towards the hall together.

To avoid attracting the attention of Mu Xuri, she specifically sent away the maid assigned to her by Mu Lingchuan and arranged for Tian to serve instead.

Tian was quite cooperative and agreed straight away.

The three of them walked into the hall, where Baili Xia and Zimo sat down on the sofa.

Zimo glanced at Baili Xia and said lightly, “Xiaxia, have you noticed that Tian looks particularly like a friend we used to know?”

“Like who?” Baili Xia feigned curiosity, looking at Tian’s face.

Now inside, she saw more clearly under the lights.

Tian and Ye Zi looked similar, but those eyes gave a completely different feeling.

“Like… a friend we knew in childhood, don’t you think?”

Baili Xia stood up and walked around Tian twice.

“Now that you mention it, she does look a bit like her.”

“Tian, where are you from?”

Tian replied, “I’m from out of town, I’m not from Jin City.”

“Madam asked me this yesterday too, but unfortunately, I didn’t know you before.”

“If I could indeed be friends with both Madam and Miss Xiaxia, that would be wonderful.”

Baili Xia smiled and asked, “We all grew up in an orphanage, being friends with us from a young age means enduring a lot of hardships.”

“What about your parents? Are they in Jin City too?”

Tian shook her head, “No, I came to Jin City alone, my parents are back home.”

“If you’re here by yourself and need any help, feel free to let me know.”

“Thank you, Miss Xiaxia.”

Tian just smiled faintly, though she said words of thanks, there was no real sense of gratitude in it.

Baili Xia raised an eyebrow, this was too unusual.

If Tian’s identity was as she claimed, she’d excitement towards this kind of care from a family like hers.

But she didn’t.

Even as a maid, she showed none of the typical meekness or respect towards the family members.

She was cautious, but not in a way a servant would be, rather, it seemed instinctual.

This Tian, no matter how you look, didn’t seem like an ordinary maid.

She glanced at Zimo, but Zimo seemed oblivious, not noticing anything unusual.

Turning back to Tian, Baili Xia asked, “How did you come to work in the Mu family? The Mu Mansion hasn’t hired newcomers in a long time.”

The Mu Mansion’s treatment is better than elsewhere, once the maids enter, they are reluctant to leave.

So generally, they wouldn’t look for new maids.

Tian looked up at her, something flickered in her eyes.

After hesitating a moment, she replied, “It was just by chance, I arrived in Jin City the day before yesterday and bumped into a fellow townsman. Coincidentally, she works at the Mu Mansion, so she recommended me.”

Baili Xia was slightly taken aback and glanced at Zimo.

Zimo also noticed the issue, his eyes showed a hint of surprise as he looked at her.

Baili Xia knew she hadn’t mistaken her, she had clearly been in Jin City for several days already.

Why would Tian lie to her? Does her earlier arrival in Jin City have any connection to her?

Or is she hiding something?
