Chapter 253: Just Like Her Body

Facing his grandfather’s questioning, Mu Lingchuan remained composed.

“Nothing much, I was thinking of letting the steward of the Dongfang Family rest in our home for a while.

After all, he is getting on in years, I’m not sure if his old bones can handle much more…”

Seeing a warning glance from Mu Zhentian, Mu Lingchuan scratched his nose.

With an elegant smile, he greeted Sir Dongfang, “Good morning, Sir Dongfang.”

Sir Dongfang gave a heavy humph from his nose, ignoring him.

After these two youngsters came in, they didn’t even glance at him directly.

One was busy with his tea while the other was making small talk with Mu Zhentian!

He was the eldest in this room, with the highest rank in the family hierarchy.

Even Mu Zhentian, who was of the same generation as him, respectfully addressed him as ‘Big Brother’ due to his age.

But these two youngsters…

they were simply so arrogant!

He scoffed, and Mu Lingchuan ignored him, continuing to report last night’s situation to his grandfather.

“I wanted to invite Mr.

Dongfang Ji to come out so we could discuss the matter face-to-face, but his servant reported that he was asleep.”

“Since he was sleeping, I thought it would be better to wait until morning to discuss the matter, and that’s how things unfolded.”

Mu Zhentian glanced at him, who doesn’t know his eldest grandson is good with words?

Ignoring him, he turned to Mu Xiaoyao: “You brought him here, give an explanation.”

“He hurt my people, I merely tied him up and brought him here, sparing him from a beating, which was a mercy.”

Mu Xiaoyao leaned back into his chair, his languid posture was enchanting to the maids.

But in the eyes of Sir Dongfang, it was sheer disrespect.

At this moment, he wished he could tear him apart himself!

“What nonsense are you spouting?

My grandson hurt who?

Speak with evidence,” he roared.

Mu Xiaoyao’s gaze finally landed on him, uttering a soft humph.

From the corner of his eyes, he spotted Baili Xia entering from the hall entrance.

Suddenly, his thin lips slightly curved up, calling out in a soft voice, “Xiaxia, come here.”

Xiaxia…

his brother rarely called her this way, it seemed like he never had before.

When she heard her name, Baili Xia felt a sudden chill up her spine.

Such a friendly call, this must not be something good.

However, she noticed that apart from her grandfather, there was another elder in the hall who seemed to be older than her grandfather.

She walked over, looked at Mu Zhentian, and respectfully called out, “Grandpa.”

Upon seeing her, Mu Zhentian immediately beamed, holding her small hand and trying to get her to sit down.

But Mu Xiaoyao beat him to it, “Xiaxia, come sit next to me.”

Mu Zhentian was slightly stunned and so was Baili Xia.

However, after a moment of surprise, Mu Zhentian immediately broke into laughter.

When did these two become so close?

So it was true when the servants said that Mr.

Mu and Miss Xia were getting along well.

Although he was elder but he was open-minded about these things.

As long as the youngsters were in love and willing to sleep together at night, it was fine.

Seeing how close the two of them were now, he could only be glad.

“Xiaxia, go sit with your brother.”

A bit confused, Baili Xia walked towards Mu Xiaoyao and sat down, “Who is this…?”

Mu Zhentian immediately responded with a smile, “This is Sir Dongfang, Xiaxia, say hello.”

Baili Xia looked over, so this was the Master of the Dongfang Family!
