Chapter 2156

Baili Xia is not an ignorant little girl oblivious to worldly matters.

Ning Anran, in her current state, with flushed cheeks, clearly has a spring-like allure and a face like peach blossoms.

Just now, the only man beside her was Mu Xuri.

Their relationship had always been ambiguous, and now, it was obvious what they had just done.

Baili Xia had only suspected before, but now she truly witnessed it with her own eyes.

She never thought that Ning Anran, in her prime, would mix with such a man.

Moreover, just now Wen Yu had said, this man… is useless.

Could it be that Ning Anran truly is willing to allow him to make advances, doing such sordid things?

Seeing Baili Xia’s gaze lingering on her, Ning Anran not only felt no shame but instead stood tall and proud.

She presented herself in the most seductive posture before Baili Xia.

In this world, Baili Xia is not the only one admired by men; she has admirers too.

Mu Xuri’s obsession with her, Shentu Sheng’s longing for her, isn’t this the best proof?

In terms of charm, she is not inferior to Baili Xia at all!

However, seeing Baili Xia returning with Wen Yu, Mu Xuri’s face didn’t look pleased.

“Why did you need Xiaxia to accompany you back?”

Wen Yu dared not say much, standing timidly beside Baili Xia, her legs slightly trembling.

With her life threatened, she was no longer the graceful woman she used to be.

Baili Xia reached out to support Wen Yu, to steady her a bit.

She then explained, “Mrs. Wen had a car accident today and was startled. I just happened to meet her outside, and I guess she hasn’t recovered from the shock. I was worried, so I brought her back.”

Mu Xuri remained wary of Baili Xia due to her status beside Mu Xiaojiu.

His expression slightly improved, concealing his gloom, with a shade of complexity flashing in his eyes as he looked at Wen Yu.

Baili Xia’s attitude towards her seemed to be improving. Does this woman still have any utilitarian value?

He glanced at Baili Xia and said blandly, “I just happened to want to ask you, what has Jiu been up to lately? Do you know when he’ll be back?”

Baili Xia felt a twinge in her heart and replied, “I don’t know where Uncle went either. I sent him a text, but he hasn’t returned it yet. Third Uncle, do you need to talk to him about something?”

“Yes, there are some Mu Group matters I want to discuss with him. When he returns, let him come find me.”

“Alright.”

Mu Xuri didn’t linger any longer and gave Ning Anran a look.

Ning Anran wheeled him into the study, shooting a cold glance at Baili Xia as they passed.

Baili Xia merely looked back at her calmly, with a composed expression.

Watching Mu Xuri and Ning Anran enter the study, only then did Baili Xia escort Wen Yu upstairs.

“Xiaxia…” Mrs. Wen was still quite terrified as they walked.

Baili Xia patted the back of her hand and softly said, “He might think, you still hold some value?”

“What do you mean?” If she still had value, would Mu Xuri send someone to kill her?

Her life was already worthless in his eyes.

“I noticed earlier, the way he looked at you, it was as if reevaluating something.”

“I think, perhaps he still hopes you could find out something about Uncle through me?”

Baili Xia pondered for a moment, then continued, “Trust me, for now, it should be okay, but…”

“But what?” Mrs. Wen tightened her grip, “Do you also think this house can’t be stayed in any longer?”
