Chapter 2192

Ning Anran, though feeling guilty, still tried hard to appear calm.

“Xiaxia, believe what you want, I don’t care. I’m just here to inform Uncle where the funeral arrangements for tomorrow are.”

“Tomorrow’s funeral will be at a private villa in the suburbs, you can go there on your own,” she said, turning to leave.

“Why is Uncle in such a hurry? The arrangements were made so quickly.”

Baili Xia’s indifferent voice came through, making her stop in her tracks.

She turned back to look at Baili Xia, a hint of a smile in her eyes.

That smile, no matter how you looked at it, seemed like mockery.

“What’s Uncle in a hurry for? It seems like you’re the one who’s anxious.”

“If it wasn’t for you calling Mrs. Wen to the Sihai Residence, how would she have gotten into trouble?”

Baili Xia suddenly stood up, took a step forward, and walked up to Ning Anran.

“What do you mean? Do you know something?”

Ning Anran realized that what she just said was practically inviting trouble for herself.

She only wanted to irritate Baili Xia, and the words just slipped out.

She hurriedly said, “What could I possibly know?”

Her mind turned, and she simply shifted the blame entirely onto Baili Xia.

“She just came to Sihai Residence and died the next day, how can it be unrelated to you?”

“Don’t you think that if she hadn’t come to Sihai Residence, she might still be alive and well now?”

“Even though she’s old and had only a few years left, at least she was alive… Ah! It hurts!”

Baili Xia raised her arm and pressed a hand on Ning Anran’s shoulder.

The force made Ning Anran grimace in pain.

“What do you want to do?”

Seeing Baili Xia like this, Ning Anran panicked, quickly trying to back away.

She had suffered under Baili Xia a few times before and hadn’t provoked her recently, yet today she ended up in her hands again.

Ning Anran retreated, but Baili Xia was faster.

In no time, her hand was back on Ning Anran’s shoulder.

With a quick pull, Ning Anran fell to the ground.

The fall wasn’t gentle, and Ning Anran was immediately in pain all over.

Clambering up from the floor in embarrassment, Ning Anran shouted angrily, “What do you want? I haven’t bothered you, so why are you bullying me?”

A dangerous smile surfaced on Baili Xia’s face as she approached Ning Anran.

“You didn’t provoke me? You really dare say that.”

“Weren’t your words just now wrongfully accusing me? You pinned the responsibility for Mrs. Wen’s death on me, and if I don’t properly punish you, others might really think I’m feeling guilty.”

She was already in a bad mood today, and now, Ning Anran’s bad luck had caught up with her.

Anyway, Mu Xuri had long been displeased with her and wanted her dead; whether she messes with Ning Anran or not, Mu Xuri wouldn’t let her go.

Given that, why should she still be courteous with Ning Anran?

Regarding Mu Xuri killing Wen Yu, even if Ning Anran didn’t directly take action, she likely helped in some way.

This woman, Baili Xia just couldn’t believe she was entirely innocent in this matter.

Even if she was innocent, respecting the deceased comes first; just for her current disrespect towards Wen Yu, Baili Xia ought to give her a good beating!

Seeing the murderous intent flash in Baili Xia’s eyes, Ning Anran was finally truly scared; Baili Xia really intended to torment her today.

But this was the Mu Mansion, in the medical room, how could she dare?

If she dared to make a move on her, Uncle would definitely not spare her!
