Chapter 2549

Nangong Qingqing came to her senses and quickly said, “Wait.”

“Since Xi’er is back, I’ll go and see first before making any decisions.”

“Well…” That brother hesitated obviously.

This matter was handled personally by Lady Yue, and not reporting Xi’er’s return might lead to blame.

Nangong Qingqing knew what he was worried about and said casually, “It’s fine, Mom is busy and probably won’t have time for this.”

“If necessary, I’ll take Xi’er directly to her.”

After speaking, she didn’t give him time to think and walked out directly.

“Miss Qingqing, this isn’t appropriate…”

Despite his shouts from behind, Nangong Qingqing didn’t turn back and headed towards the exit of Wangyue Pavilion.

The brother had no choice but to shake his head helplessly and quickly followed her.

Nangong Qingqing soon reached the entrance and upon seeing Bei Xier, she immediately put on a joyful expression and ran towards her.

“Xi’er, you’re finally back.”

Bei Xier found Nangong Qingqing’s attitude obviously uncomfortable.

Usually, although Nangong Qingqing didn’t actively trouble her, due to ties with Nangong Yun, she would never show a friendly face.

Especially at the Old Madam’s birthday banquet a few days ago, she even poisoned her.

Today’s actions were really strange.

But, one shouldn’t strike a smiling face. Since others were kind to her, she couldn’t be too rude.

So, she lightly pulled her thin lips into a smile: “Qingqing.”

Another brother also returned, and their leader glared at him when he saw Nangong Qingqing had been invited.

Everyone knows Nangong Qingqing has no status in this family, so why invite her?

But she was already here, and he had no other choice.

Nangong Qingqing reached out and held Bei Xier’s hand, asking with concern, “Where did you go yesterday? I was so worried.”

The manner seemed genuinely concerned for her.

Bei Xier replied indifferently, “Just a little accident, so I couldn’t come back.”

There was no need to explain too much to Nangong Qingqing.

Regarding Mu Xiaoyao, she couldn’t say much.

“No worries, as long as you’re back.”

Nangong Qingqing didn’t mind at all and glanced sideways at Mu Xiaoyao.

She turned back and whispered to Bei Xier’s ear, “Why did you come back with Mu Xiaoyao? I heard from my sister that you were kidnapped by her.”

Bei Xier raised her eyebrows, yet it was again Nangong Yun.

“That’s nonsense, it was Mr. Mu Xiaoyao who protected me so I could come back.”

She glanced at Mu Xiaoyao and saw his brows furrowed continuously.

Presumably, he didn’t have the patience to wait any longer.

Thinking for a moment, Bei Xier said, “Mu and I need to see Grandma and Mom. Can we go in?”

Nangong Qingqing appeared embarrassed, “That could be difficult.”

“Xi’er, you don’t know, now the entire Bei Family thinks it was Mu who kidnapped you.”

“Currently, there are still quite a few people outside, trying to catch Mu back.”

Bei Xier said, “I know, but this is a misunderstanding.”

“That’s why I need to see them and explain the situation.”

Nangong Qingqing nodded and looked down in contemplation.

After a while, it seemed she made a difficult decision, biting her lip.

“Nangong Yun might also be at Bi Luo Pavilion, but the situation over there isn’t clear to me, although Baili Xia returned to Bi Luo Pavilion.”

She leaned towards Bei Xier and whispered only for the two of them to hear, “I’m afraid Nangong Yun will stop you from entering. Hurry and go now.”
