Chapter 2563

Mu Xiaoyao’s words sent a tremor through Bei Xier’s heart.

She thought that this man would never say a word in her defense.

Unexpectedly, he took all the responsibility onto himself in an instant.

Baili Xia couldn’t help but look up at Mu Xiaoyao standing beside her, giving him a mental thumbs up.

A man should indeed take responsibility, and anyway, Brother isn’t afraid of causing trouble here!

The shocked gaze of Bei Xier also fell on Mu Xiaoyao.

But he wasn’t looking at her.

Even though his words served as an explanation for her, it seemed he was just stating the facts.

For her sake, that was impossible.

“My Xier is a young lady who has always been self-respecting, how can you bully her like this?”

The Old Madam immediately became furious.

Mu Xiaoyao already made it clear that it was he who had been forcing Xi’er.

Her family Xi’er should not be treated like this for no reason!

“Grandmother, don’t be angry, you can’t blame Mr. Mu Xiaoyao for this.”

Afraid that her grandmother would have a conflict with Mu Xiaoyao, Bei Xier quickly explained.

“At that time, Mr. Mu Xiaoyao and Xiaxia were attacked in the restaurant that Cousin Zicheng brought me to, and naturally he assumed that it was Cousin Zicheng and I who were behind it.”

“Back then, Mr. Mu Xiaoyao… tore my clothes…”

Seeing the Old Madam’s face suddenly turn ugly, Bei Xier quickly patted the back of her hand.

“In fact, Mr. Mu Xiaoyao didn’t do anything to me, he just scared me, hoping I would reveal Xiaxia’s whereabouts.”

“Grandmother, in this matter, you really can’t blame Mr. Mu Xiaoyao. Ask anyone, wouldn’t they have reacted like Mr. Mu Xiaoyao in that situation?”

“If it were someone more ruthless, maybe I would have been beaten half to death by now. Mr. Mu Xiaoyao only tore my clothes to scare me, which was… rather mild.”

But by the end, she couldn’t help but blush.

The situation at that time was truly terrifying.

He was completely pressed down on her, even if it was just to scare her.

But what he didn’t know was that at that moment, their bodies… really made intimate contact.

Seeing that Mu Xiaoyao’s face had no expression now, Bei Xier knew that this man didn’t consider that incident a big deal.

Or rather, he might have already forgotten what the situation was like.

Bei Xier’s words left the Old Madam without a word of reproach.

In this matter, it was Baili Xia who suffered the loss.

She and Wu Ming were being hunted outside, and it might have been Bei Zicheng’s plot.

She even suspected that the matter might be related to certain people.

Her displeased gaze swept over Nangong Yun, causing Nangong Yun’s scalp to tingle with numbness.

Is Grandma suspecting something? Could she believe that I colluded with Bei Zicheng?

Bei Qingyue’s emotionless gaze also swept over Nangong Yun’s face; as a mother, how could she not see that her daughter was feeling guilty?

Already feeling guilty, yet still insisting on dealing with others!

The previous Nangong Yun was never this foolish; lately, who knows what has gotten into her.

She’s made even her mother start to doubt how she had been educating her.

Unfortunately, Nangong Yun didn’t stop her antics due to her guilt or her mother’s disapproving gaze.

Even if the accusations against them cannot be settled, the matter of Mu Xiaoyao offending her has not been resolved!

She extended her hand, looking aggrieved.

“No matter if everything is as clean as they say, Mu Xiaoyao hurting me is a fact.”
