Chapter 2281

Xiaoxiao took a deep breath and finally mustered up the courage.

Holding Baili Xia’s hand tightly, her voice was hoarse.

“Mu Canghai…”

At the mention of Mu Canghai, before she could finish her sentence, both Baili Xia and Ye Hua were shocked, nearly stopping their breaths!

Why Mu Canghai, why was the matter Xiaoxiao heard related to Mu Canghai?

“Xiaoxiao…”

Both of them looked at her simultaneously, almost making Xiaoxiao lose the courage she had just gathered.

She knew that this matter was indeed terrifying; even when she first heard it, she couldn’t believe it.

But that was the truth!

She took another deep breath; this time, she left herself no room to retreat.

In one breath, she spoke out the words she had heard.

“Mu Canghai was killed by Mu Xuri!”

…

When Baili Xia left the medical room, she was still in a daze.

She had suspected for a long, long time, and indeed, the reality was not far from what she had imagined.

However, at this moment, when the truth was laid bare in front of her, she found it hard to process.

It was like walking on clouds, floating, without a trace of reality.

Grandfather… was his death too unjust?

Mu Xuri, that damned devil!

Thinking of her grandfather’s unjust death in the rain, she clenched her palm and strode toward the hall of Sihai Residence.

Ye Hua chose to let her deliver the news herself. He was currently seriously injured and it was inconvenient for him to move around.

Moreover, upon knowing that Xiaoxiao had heard such a significant secret, he was overcome with fear.

No wonder Mu Xuri and those people were eager to assassinate Xiaoxiao to prevent her from waking up.

He really hadn’t anticipated that Xiaoxiao’s fall from the cliff would be so consequential.

Now, he dared not leave Xiaoxiao’s side for a moment, regardless of his serious injuries or his dwindling capability to protect her. At the very least, he couldn’t leave her.

Moreover, leaving this matter to Miss Xiaxia is much better than having him explain it.

Whether Mr. Xiaojiu could accept it or not was uncertain, but Miss Xiaxia would surely have a way to soothe him.

…

When Baili Xia went up to the second floor, Mu Xiaojiu was still in his room.

She thought he would be catching up on sleep, having watched over the medical room all night.

Unexpectedly, he was still busy.

“Uncle.” She pushed open the door and went in, seeing his cold, stiff back, she softly called out.

Mu Xiaojiu’s back seemed even colder, and he turned around to glance at her coldly.

“Aren’t you tired? Can walk around so soon?”

Baili Xia bit her lip, knowing he was still angry with her for not taking care of her body and donating blood to Tian.

However, those matters weren’t important now. What mattered was whether Uncle could accept what Xiaoxiao had said.

“Xiaoxiao has woken up.”

She walked over and just as she reached his side, he extended his arm and pulled her onto his lap.

Mu Xiaojiu was indeed angry when he saw her. Last night, he was so mad he nearly kicked Nangong Xu.

But he also knew that this girl’s stubbornness was no different from his own.

Nangong Xu really might not be able to stop her from doing anything.

But what did this matter have to do with Nangong Xu?

“Are you here to apologize or to ask me not to pursue the matter?” His eyes were deep.

Baili Xia moved her lips but didn’t speak.

Is there a difference between wanting to apologize and asking for forgiveness?

But that wasn’t the reason she came here.

“Xiaoxiao has woken up.” She reiterated, “I just came from her.”
