Chapter 2155

Upon thinking this, Baili Xia suddenly understood why Wen Yu fell for Uncle.

In her prime years, she accompanied a man who couldn’t share a bed with her, how could she resist the overwhelming masculinity of Uncle?

Even the girls on the street couldn’t resist Uncle’s charm with a single glance, let alone a woman like her who lived with him for long term.

She suddenly felt a bit sympathetic for Wen Yu, this woman, had she given her best years to a man who wasn’t capable, and accompanied him for over ten years?

If their feelings for each other were strong, that would be another matter, but the key is, did that man truly have feelings for her?

Wen Yu gathered her thoughts and continued, “You know, Jiu is someone I’ve watched grow up since he was young, I know him very well.”

“Mm.” Baili Xia only replied faintly, her expression returning to normal.

“That night when I came to visit Jiu, I could tell it wasn’t Jiu, but Xiaoyao.”

Baili Xia’s eyebrow twitched, the surprise in her eyes quickly disappeared.

Wen Yu actually discovered their plan, she was just about to speak when something flashed through her mind, making her hesitate.

Wen Yu saw Baili Xia showed no reaction to her words, and knew she was still doubtful of her.

“You might not believe what I said, but I truly know, when Mu Xuri asked me about it, I didn’t tell him this.”

“Although I can’t stay with Jiu, I will never do anything that would harm him.”

“Furthermore, I suspect those who tried to assassinate Jiu were arranged by him, I can’t let this happen again, putting Jiu in danger.”

Baili Xia’s fingers tensed, yet she remained silent.

She had long suspected those who targeted Uncle were connected to Mu Xuri.

Now that Wen Yu voiced this herself, her trust in Wen Yu increased a bit.

But she still had to be cautious: “Mrs. Wen, such words mustn’t be spoken impulsively.”

Seeing Baili Xia still didn’t believe her, Wen Yu grew a bit anxious.

“Xiaxia, I know we used to be adversaries, you wouldn’t trust me so quickly.”

“I only hope you can help me, convey my words to Jiu, he will surely believe you.”

“This isn’t just for him, it’s also for myself, I hope Jiu, considering past ties, will save me.”

Baili Xia pondered and said, “Alright, I will relay your words to Uncle, what he decides I’ll not know.”

Wen Yu nodded, “Make sure to tell him soon, I only have these few days, I’m afraid I won’t make it if it’s too late.”

Baili Xia nodded, not speaking further.

Though she really wanted to ask Wen Yu whether Grandfather was killed by Mu Xuri, she didn’t dare.

Anything, let Uncle decide.

If this woman can truly be trusted, then it’s not too late to ask her later.

After chatting for a while, Baili Xia advised, “Mrs. Wen, you should return to the main house first? No matter what you think, at least you won’t be in danger in the main house these few days.”

Wen Yu was hesitant, she had developed a resistance to that place.

Though she knew Mu Xuri wouldn’t act against her in the main house, she was genuinely afraid to face him alone.

“Xiaxia, I…”

Baili Xia understood her concern, seeing her reluctance to return to the main house, had no choice but to personally escort her back.

Upon reaching the main house, they ran into Ning Anran who was pushing Mu Xuri downstairs.

The two were chatting and laughing, Ning Anran’s face had a sheen of sweat, her cheeks were flushed, evidently aware of what they had just done.
