Chapter 2557

The Old Madam was utterly uneasy in her heart, she absolutely believed that Xi’er wouldn’t lie to her.

“Go on, continue.”

Bei Xier nodded her head and continued to narrate the subsequent events.

After listening to her tell how Mu Xiaoyao took her away from the restaurant, everyone became clearer about the whole incident.

It turned out Mu Xiaoyao only misunderstood Bei Xier because Baili Xia was missing.

“Grandma, that’s what happened, Mr. Mu Xiaoyao didn’t kidnap me.”

“It’s actually just a misunderstanding, it’s not as serious as you all think.”

Bei Xier spoke lightly, not mentioning how poorly Mu Xiaoyao treated her at the beginning.

She believed that when someone important to you is in danger, anyone would act this way.

So, she considered Mu Xiaoyao’s bad behavior at that time as human nature.

Just let it go and move on.

Baili Xia listened intently, and with Bei Xier saying so, she completely eased her mind.

She was too familiar with Brother’s temper, Bei Xier must have endured quite a bit of suffering from him.

But she still clarified for him, which made her feel grateful.

However, Mu Xiaoyao seemed indifferent, his mind not on Bei Xier at all.

Baili Xia pushed his arm and softly said, “Brother, be gentle with Xixi in the future.”

Mu Xiaoyao glanced at her indifferently, not saying anything, but a trace of impatience could still be seen in his eyes.

Bei Xier continued, “After Mr. Mu Xiaoyao took me away from the restaurant, he noticed quite a few people looking for us, so he kept taking me around.”

“Later, we ran into Yun and the brothers from the Bei Family looking for me.”

Hearing her mention the hotel incident, Nangong Yun let out a cold snort.

She reached out to touch her bandaged arm, which had been broken there thanks to Mu Xiaoyao.

All because of this vile woman, Mu Xiaoyao had even broken her wrist for her.

Nangong Yun wanted to voice her grievance again at this moment, but now everyone’s attention was on Bei Xier.

Moreover, when she talked about her broken arm yesterday, Grandma wasn’t very concerned.

Thinking about it, she decided to let it be.

Bei Xier continued to speak, “The most critical thing I want to say is that after this, Mr. Mu Xiaoyao and I encountered another group of black-clad pursuers.”

Recalling last night’s frantic escape under a hail of bullets, she was still filled with lingering fear.

If it weren’t for Mu Xiaoyao’s timely discovery, both of them would have probably died miserably outside.

Encountering the black-clad pursuers… no sooner did Bei Xier’s words fall than the Old Madam, already tense, felt sweat on her palms.

Instinctively, she reached out to touch Bei Xier’s shoulder, carefully examining her from top to bottom once more.

“Who were those people? What happened later? Did they hurt you?”

Though Bei Xier was right in front of her, the Old Madam still felt uneasy at heart.

Who sent those black-clad people to assassinate Xi’er?

Xi’er hadn’t been with the Bei Family for long, so it was impossible for her to provoke such formidable enemies.

Seeing the Old Madam’s nervous expression, Bei Xier gently took her hand aside, holding it in her own, with a smile on her face.

“Grandma, don’t worry, I’m all right.”

She could tell that the Old Madam’s concern for her was genuine.

Pressing the slightly coarse hand held in her palm, Bei Xier gathered up her grateful gaze and turned her attention to Mu Xiaoyao.

“This time, thanks to Mr. Mu Xiaoyao; if he hadn’t acted to save me, I’m afraid I wouldn’t have had the chance to return to the Bei Family.”
