Chapter 2558

At this moment, not only Bei Qingyue, even the Old Madam’s complicated gaze unconsciously fell on Mu Xiaoyao’s face.

But it only lingered for two seconds before she quickly withdrew it.

For a moment, the two of them had very different thoughts.

Bei Qingyue was mostly shocked that Mu Xiaoyao would actually step in to save Xi’er…

This completely overturned their previous assumption that he had kidnapped Xi’er.

She knew what methods Nangong Yun had used when she sent people out to hunt Mu Xiaoyao down.

If Mu Xiaoyao really decided to make an issue of it, the Mu family would probably also be displeased with what they had done.

But the Old Madam’s heart was filled with guilt.

Misunderstanding Mu Xiaoyao was one thing; on the other hand, it would also hurt that girl Xiaxia’s feelings for them.

Bei Xier noticed the change on the Old Madam’s face and smiled faintly.

“Grandma, this time you really did misunderstand Xiaxia and Mr. Mu Xiaoyao.”

“Mr. Mu Xiaoyao originally planned to bring me back last night, but who knew that when we got to the mountain road, we’d run into a lot of men in black again.”

“We were running for our lives the whole night and only managed to come back this morning.”

Although the Old Madam felt somewhat apologetic, she didn’t say much.

She would find a chance later to explain this misunderstanding to that girl Xiaxia in private.

With so many people here, was she supposed to throw away her dignity and apologize to Mu Xiaoyao?

Besides, Mu Xiaoyao also had some responsibility for this misunderstanding.

He could very well have chosen not to act so impulsively and take Xi’er away.

If he had trusted Xi’er’s words, so many misunderstandings wouldn’t have happened afterward.

Bei Xier also understood this, so she didn’t continue on this topic.

She had just been about to say something else when there was movement from Baili Xia’s side.

“You also ran into men in black?” Baili Xia frowned and turned her head to look at Bei Xier, a trace of doubt rising in her heart.

“Were they all dressed head to toe in black, and did they all look pretty much the same?”

Bei Xier thought for a moment, then looked at her, a little uncertain: “I think so.”

“But it was nighttime, so I couldn’t really see clearly.”

The sky had been too dark last night; she couldn’t confirm whether the men in black they’d run into twice were wearing the same outfits.

Baili Xia went on: “Wu Ming and I were also attacked by men in black on that mountain road yesterday. We almost lost our lives.”

She was actually a bit puzzled. The men in black they’d encountered yesterday were all from that mysterious organization.

Why would those people also want to kill Bei Xier? Who exactly was connected to this mysterious organization?

Bei Fengjin, who had been quietly sitting there the whole time, unconsciously tightened his five fingers, his two fine sword-like brows faintly knitting together.

His gaze was fixed on Baili Xia. This child had suffered last night.

Feeling Bei Fengjin’s gaze, Baili Xia knew her father was worried; she gave him a small smile.

She said, “Fortunately, Guisu arrived in time today and managed to save us.”

“My arm just got a minor injury; it’s no big deal.”

After listening to what Baili Xia and Bei Xier said, everyone present, except Mu Xiaoyao, finally understood the whole story.

They hadn’t expected so many things to happen in just one day and night.

They had originally only wanted to bring Baili Xia and Mu Xiaoyao back, but they hadn’t thought the two of them would go through so much danger outside.

The most confused one of all was Nangong Yun.

Those men in black were not part of her plan. Where had they come from?

Could it be something arranged by Bei Zicheng?
