Chapter 2316: Your Grandfather

About your grandfather…

When he said this, it was clear that Mu Xiaojiu’s voice was full of respect and apology.

He had never felt this way towards anyone else; Baili Yang was the first.

Only because, that was this girl’s grandfather.

And he personally sent the elderly man to prison, causing him to tragically die behind bars.

Whether or not he was used by Mu Xuri, all these things were done by him.

Baili Xia’s body shook suddenly, she raised her eyes to look at him, her fingertips unconsciously trembling slightly.

“What is it?” she said softly, trying her best to appear calm.

Her grandfather had passed away a long time ago, and every time he was mentioned, Baili Xia felt an indescribable pain.

He was her only relative in this world, and just like that, he left her.

She thought that with Xuri’s death, things would fade away.

Who would have thought, now when mentioning it again, she realized she still couldn’t get past this hurdle.

Baili Xia’s unusual reaction drew Mu Xiaojiu’s gaze, and he gathered his thoughts, continuing, “I want to hold a funeral for him, it’s what the Mu family owes him.”

In an instant, Baili Xia felt her eyes cloud with mist.

She quickly raised her hands, wiping her face, trying to hide the weakness in her heart.

But it seemed to make her look even sadder.

Mu Xiaojiu stood up and walked to Baili Xia’s side.

He extended his large hand, wrapped it around her waist, and pulled her into his embrace.

His left hand gently patted her back, while his right hand pressed on her head, burying her in his chest.

At that moment, he was somewhat nervous; his breathing unintentionally became a bit heavier.

“Girl,” after a long pause, he finally uttered the words, “I’m sorry.”

These three words from Mu Xiaojiu’s mouth, no matter who hears them, knows how difficult it was for him to say.

Baili Xia’s tears could no longer be stopped, they flowed like a breached dam.

Uncle, he finally admitted his mistake.

But now, grandpa can never come back.

At that time, why did he refuse to believe her?

Thinking about it, Baili Xia couldn’t help but raise her hand, hitting Mu Xiaojiu’s chest repeatedly.

Tears soaked Mu Xiaojiu’s shirt, but he didn’t mind.

The soft fists hit his chest, though not painful, his heart was wrenched painfully.

Let this girl vent on him, he was wrong, indeed wrong.

Baili Xia’s fist continued to hit Mu Xiaojiu’s chest endlessly.

The strength was not great; in fact, she herself had little strength left.

The whole person was in a state of being ungrounded.

She didn’t know how long she hit him, perhaps tired of crying, she finally stopped.

Mu Xiaojiu held her slender waist the whole time, waiting for Baili Xia’s actions to cease and her emotions to stabilize slightly.

Only then did he take her hand and slowly lead her to the sofa to sit down.

Mu Xiaoyao had been watching from the side; seeing the girl’s appearance, his heart also fluctuated with Baili Xia’s emotions.

When she sat in front of the sofa, he handed her a tissue.

Baili Xia took it and gently wiped her face a few times.

Although she cried, and her emotions stabilized, she still sobbed slightly.

Suddenly mentioning her grandfather’s affairs, her long-repressed emotions were released all at once.

Mu Xiaoyao just looked at her indifferently; he didn’t know how to comfort someone.

At this moment, comforting words were useless.

The girl had indeed been suppressed for too long, although Mu Xuri’s matter had ended and the great vengeance was settled.

But Uncle’s decision was what finally put an end to the issue of Baili Yang.
