Chapter 2561

“Nothing?” Nangong Yun raised an eyebrow and snorted coldly, “The clothes were torn like that, everyone saw it. Can Mr. Mu Xiaoyao just say ‘nothing happened’ and let it be as if nothing did?”

Mu Xiaoyao was too lazy to respond to her; nothing means nothing, there’s nothing to explain.

Baili Xia couldn’t help but rub her temples; that’s just how Brother is, cold and aloof.

He utterly disdains explaining such matters.

However, sometimes because of this disposition, he ends up suffering because of despicable people like Nangong Yun.

She looked at Bei Xier, hoping that Bei Xier would clarify the situation herself.

Expecting Brother to explain is probably unrealistic.

Bei Xier’s gaze had just returned from Mu Xiaoyao when she met Baili Xia’s directing look.

She bit her lip, somewhat helpless.

Looking at the Old Madam, she explained, “Grandmother, things aren’t as Yun said. Mr. Mu Xiaoyao did not do anything improper to me.”

“Then tell me, if nothing happened, why were the clothes torn?”

Nangong Yun was unwilling to let it go, “If Mr. Mu Xiaoyao didn’t force you, then it was willingly done by you.”

“Grandmother, Mom, listen, it’s this girl willingly exposing her body…”

“Yun’er, stop talking nonsense.” The Old Madam immediately glared at her.

With so many people present, members from both the Bei family and Mu family, as well as unrelated servants.

Whatever Nangong Yun said was indeed getting more and more overboard.

If this got out, how would Xier ever hold her head high again?

“Grandmother, I know you’re unhappy hearing this, but such things can’t just be treated as if they didn’t happen.”

“No matter what, Mr. Mu Xiaoyao should take responsibility for this matter, right?”

Nangong Yun was actually quite aware, regardless of the relationship between Mu Xiaoyao and Baili Xia.

Yet she knew that over the years, Mu Xiaoyao was only seen getting close to Baili Xia, one girl.

He kept a distance from all other women.

To make him responsible for Bei Xier, he would certainly refuse.

When things blow up, word spreading that Bei Xier was completed by a man then abandoned.

No matter what, the girl’s reputation would be thoroughly tarnished.

“Grandmother, things really aren’t as Yun said, please don’t misunderstand.”

Bei Xier actually felt somewhat embarrassed; in situations like this, Mr. Mu Xiaoyao hasn’t said a word in explanation, she had to say everything.

For a girl, it was harsh no matter how she said it.

But that was just Mr. Mu Xiaoyao’s character.

Despite limited interactions, she understood him somewhat.

Such an utterly indifferent person, expecting him to say something on her behalf was too much to hope for.

She wasn’t Baili Xia…

Indeed, it’s only when Baili Xia faces difficulties does Mr. Mu Xiaoyao act voluntarily.

In his heart, it’s always just Baili Xia.

Unexpectedly dwelling on these thoughts, Bei Xier felt a twinge of bitterness.

She tried hard to suppress this bitterness, as if they didn’t exist.

“Grandmother, yesterday we were chased by a group of men in black, Mr. Mu Xiaoyao had no choice but to take me to a hotel for my safety, and find a room to hide.”

“To be honest, I owe Mr. Mu Xiaoyao a favor. If it weren’t for Mr. Mu Xiaoyao, yesterday… was very dangerous.”

The Old Madam’s heart stirred, and she held her hand at once.

Aiming to soothe her, but Nangong Yun’s sharp voice resounded again.
