Chapter 2263

Baili Xia knew that if she didn’t explain the situation, Zimo would never understand what’s happening now.

“I want to tell you these things so that you can protect yourself, the Mu family is not that peaceful.”

“Let me start with the story of my grandfather.”

Zimo’s eyes flashed with surprise: “Your grandfather?”

“Yes, it’s Baili Yang.”

Ignoring the growing shock in Zimo’s eyes, Baili Xia slowly recounted the events of the past few months.

Starting with how Baili Yang recognized her, then later recognized Ning Anran as his granddaughter.

And finally, how he was harmed and died in the detention center.

Baili Xia told everything in one breath.

Zimo listened silently, never interrupting once.

Many things, before Baili Xia told her today, she had only a vague understanding of.

Now, her mind was completely blank; these events were truly shocking.

She couldn’t imagine what Xiaxia had gone through in the past few months.

When Baili Xia finished recounting everything, including what happened this morning, Zimo finally took a long breath.

Her eyes were fixed on Baili Xia’s face, slowly digesting it all.

After nearly a minute, she snapped out of her shock.

She went over and hugged Baili Xia tightly.

“Xiaxia, why didn’t you tell me this earlier?”

Zimo hugged her so tightly that Baili Xia was a bit afraid of pressing on her belly.

“Zimo, Zimo, be careful with your belly.”

“I promised not to overthink, but now I regret telling you these things.”

Only then did Zimo release her hold, lifting her head with a light mist in her eyes.

“Not telling me means you have to bear these things alone?”

“Have you forgotten who used to protect you all?”

Baili Xia pursed her lips lightly, casually replying: “I know, but this time you can’t really help.”

“Everything is in the hands of Uncle and Brother; only they can handle such matters well.”

Zimo nodded, after following Mu Lingchuan for so long, she had already noticed Mr. Xiaojiu’s extraordinary power.

Someone like her, no matter how skilled, couldn’t compete with such a family.

Especially while pregnant, protecting Baili Xia was beyond her current capability.

“But you…”

Still worried about Baili Xia, Zimo couldn’t help but want to say more.

Before she could finish, Baili Xia interrupted.

“You don’t need to worry about me, I’m not who I used to be; at least self-protection isn’t much of an issue.”

She spoke lightly, unclear if it was an act or if she genuinely didn’t care.

Zimo’s eyes stayed on her face, finding no trace of fear.

That gentle, elegant face was full of confidence.

Xiaxia had grown, she could see it since the last time she took down Leng Yu.

Now, with Mr. Xiaojiu and Mu Xiaoyao around her, she was no longer the girl who needed Zimo’s protection.

“Zimo, stay close to Brother, protect yourself during this time.”

“I’m really afraid Mu Xuri, when cornered, will go to any lengths against us.”

“Hmm.” Zimo nodded heavily, understanding Baili Xia’s concerns.

When a dog is driven into a dead-end, there’s no saying Mu Xuri might not drag the Mu Family members down with him.”

“Let’s go, it’s almost time for the dinner to start.”

Baili Xia went over, gently holding Zimo’s hand.

Zimo took a few deep breaths, adjusted her mood, and then walked out with Baili Xia.
