Chapter 255: Just Like Her Body

Baili Xia bowed her head, too scared to speak.

After hesitating for a while, she bit her lip and nodded.

When facing Sir Dongfang just now, Mu Zhentian had a smile on his face.

But now, learning that Baili Xia had been bullied by Dongfang Ji, his face quickly darkened.

“What exactly happened?” He stared at Baili Xia, wanting to approach her.

But she was panic-stricken and kept hiding behind Mu Xiaoyao.

Not wanting to scare her, he softened his voice.

“Xiaxia, don’t be afraid.

Tell Grandpa, who bullied you?”

Sir Dongfang’s gaze also fell on Baili Xia, looking her up and down, he couldn’t discern that she was lying.

Especially now, seeing her so frail, so unnerved, looking genuinely wronged.

He knew that his grandson and the juniors from the Mu family indeed had some grudges.

But, for his second grandson to vent his anger on such a girl, he wasn’t willing to believe it.

Seeing that Baili Xia kept silent, Mu Xiaoyao looked at her sideways and asked lightly.

“Who did you encounter at school that day?”

Baili Xia bit her lip and still dared not speak.

Mu Xiaoyao gently patted the back of her hand, his tenderness nearly drove the maids crazy.

“Grandpa is here, as long as you tell the truth, Grandpa will stand up for you.”

“I…” Baili Xia looked up at him, still somewhat hesitant.

“Young girl, if you dare to lie, I won’t let you off.”

“Dongfang, as an elder, isn’t it overboard to scare a young girl with such words?”

At this moment, where was any trace of a smile in Mu Zhentian’s eyes?

When he looked at Sir Dongfang, his gaze was sharp.

“Xiaxia is my granddaughter too.

If anyone dares to bully her, I won’t let them go either.”

“Nobody bullied me, really, nobody.”

Baili Xia hid behind Mu Xiaoyao once more, her panicky, restless, and even fearful gaze broke Mu Zhentian’s heart.

“Xiaxia, tell us quickly.

Tell Grandpa everything as it is.”

“Grandpa, don’t ask anymore, I won’t say anything.”

She clutched Mu Xiaoyao’s clothes tightly, the more she remained silent, the more it left everyone’s imagination running wild.

With so many scars on her arm and her frightened demeanor, isn’t it obvious that she was bullied and threatened?

However, Mu Xiaoyao held her hand and pulled her back in front of everyone, his voice softer than ever.

“Tell them, what did Dongfang Ji say to you that day.”

Baili Xia glanced at him, then at Mu Zhentian, and secretly at Sir Dongfang.

After hesitating for a long time, she eventually murmured, “He asked me…

if I belong to Brother.”

These words, although ordinary, contained many hidden meanings.

So, Dongfang Ji knew that she belonged to Mu Xiaoyao and therefore, targeted her?

“Nonsense!” Sir Dongfang stood up, glaring at Baili Xia, his face full of anger.

“Although my grandson is a bit arrogant, I’ve never known him to lay such a hand on a woman.

How dare you slander him?”

“No, he didn’t do anything to me, he didn’t do anything, really!”

Baili Xia was scared into trembling and immediately hid behind Mu Xiaoyao again.

She didn’t hide, fearing she wouldn’t be able to control herself and reveal her slip in front of them.

Of course, this fear was all an act, it would be bad if it was seen through!
