Chapter 2438

Bei Xier nodded, a trace of complexity flashing in her eyes.

Her gaze drifted to the distant Nangong Qingqing, only to see her attention fixed on this side.

It seems she’s been waiting to see her make a fool of herself.

She genuinely couldn’t recall when she offended her.

Unless… it was Nangong Yun.

After all, Nangong Qingqing always listened to Nangong Yun.

If it’s Nangong Yun, then perhaps… things would make sense.

She only blamed herself for being careless.

Turning back, she looked at Baili Xia, and Bei Xier said, “Xiaxia, thank you.”

Baili Xia gave a faint smile, “If you’re saying thanks, you should thank Uncle Fengjin, not me.”

However, Baili Xia only said this casually, not really caring about whether thanks were given.

Although Bei Xier was associated with Bei Qingyue, she genuinely couldn’t bring herself to dislike her.

Moreover, regarding Brother’s matter, she had helped significantly.

Bei Xier moved her gaze to Bei Fengjin, softly saying, “Uncle, thank you.”

Bei Fengjin just gave a faint nod, his face devoid of any expression.

Such matters were only handled for Xiaxia’s sake, a casual favor to repay a debt.

It was only now that Bei Xier’s gaze suddenly landed on Mu Xiaoyao seated opposite.

She softly greeted, “Mr. Mu Xiaoyao…”

Mu Xiaoyao raised his brows slightly, nodded indifferently, not saying a word.

Although he owed Bei Xier a favor, he didn’t want to appear insincere to himself.

This favor, he would repay it himself later.

Bei Xier composed herself, feeling much better, it was time to return.

“Xiaxia, I should head back to Grandpa’s side. I’ve been here long, he needs my care.”

“Alright, go ahead.”

Baili Xia could see Bei Xier’s genuine care for Grandpa, thus didn’t obstruct her.

With a light step, Bei Xier returned to the host’s seat.

By this time, even the red spots on her face had disappeared.

Passing by Nangong Qingqing’s table, she paused, deliberately showing her face.

Seeing Nangong Qingqing’s expression change, she instantly regained her usual smile.

Yet this time, that smile seemed particularly insincere.

Watching Bei Xier return to Grandma’s side, looking completely fine, Nangong Yun felt resentment sprouting within.

Her fingers clenched tightly, turned white, and her teeth ground at each other.

Earlier, she had personally seen Bei Xier feeling uncomfortable, going into the bathroom.

She initially wanted to follow inside to see her misery.

However, Baili Xia went in first!

Had she entered at that time, she would surely be suspected.

Unexpectedly, Bei Xier and Baili Xia came out and went to Uncle.

Uncle gave her something, and now she’s recovered.

With Uncle there, how dare she make trouble?

Originally imagined scenes of Bei Xier being publicly humiliated also came to nothing!

Again it’s that wretched Baili Xia, why does she always ruin her plans?

Nangong Yun suddenly turned and glared at Nangong Qingqing sitting there, snorting coldly.

She grabbed the red wine before her and gulped it down.

Baili Xia, just you wait, I won’t let you off.

And Bei Xier, I won’t let you become an obstacle in my path.

I swear!

The Old Madam’s seventieth birthday banquet did not truly end until late at night.

Bei Shengri’s family belonged to the Bei Family and stayed over.

Other guests had their own arrangements.

The hustle and bustle finally came to a complete end.

Baili Xia and Wu Ming also left the banquet, heading towards Bi Luo Pavilion.

But they hadn’t walked far when a voice suddenly called out to them…
