Chapter 341: Once He Adored Her As His Life 24_1

Who wouldn’t discern Baili Xia’s unequivocal gesture of the boot?

However, perhaps because of her reunion with her sister, Lu Xuening seemed to be in particularly high spirits.

So much so, she genuinely didn’t seem to notice, still holding Baili Xia’s hand tightly, brimming with excitement.

“You and auntie just left like that, I thought I would never see you again in my life!

How is auntie?

Is her health better?

How have you two been doing lately?”

Taking a pause, she continued, “I’ve managed to save some money these years.

If you need, I can lend you some.”

“If you run into any trouble, remember to tell me.

Your sister will definitely help you.”

Baili Xia furrowed her brows.

She was not Lu Xuening, and couldn’t spin words as cleverly as she did.

In terms of money, aside from the debt to Uncle, she didn’t have any immediate shortage.

However, given such fervor, would it not be rude if she didn’t accept?

“Since Xuening is being so kind, I’ll not be shy.

I do truly need money.”

She extended her hand, waving five fingers before Lu Xuening’s eyes.

“Sister, can you lend me fifty million first?

Once I earn enough, I will pay you back.

”

Fifty million…Lu Xuening never imagined that Baili Xia would actually want to borrow money from her.

What was more shocking was the astronomical sum she was asking for.

Quickly, though, she concealed her surprise.

Her brows furrowed with an expression of distress.

“Xiaxia, what’s going on?

Have you done something wrong, incurred someone’s debt?”

“Fifty million, what do you need all this money for?”

“Xiaxia, what have you done wrong?

Tell your sister, your sister will help you.

Your brother-in-law will help you too.”

Brother-in-law…

Baili Xia scoffed inwardly.

Were they not yet engaged?

She was already calling Dongfang Jin her brother-in-law.

She can say that, she might not necessarily accept Dongfang Jin as her Brother in law.

Is she intentionally asking what’s wrong with her for Jin to hear?

“I have no problem, but since sister insists on lending me money, I would be a fool not to take it.”

She spread her hands out, flashing a playful smile.

“Sister, it’s only fifty million.

Rest assured, I’ll pay you back in a few years.”

“I…

where would I get that much money?”

Lu Xuening’s face paled a bit, but her words were still filled with concern.

“Xiaxia, tell your sister, what happened?

Have you started engaging in nefarious activities like others?

You…

you didn’t start gambling and owe people money, right?”

“Absurd.” Before Baili Xia could respond, a deep and magnetizing voice sounded from behind her.

Mu Xiaojiu cast a cursory glance at Lu Xuening, his cold lips curling into a sneer.

“Asking you for money gets her slandered as an ill-doer?

All this talk, who is it made for someone to hear?”

He flicked the newly lit cigarette in his hand, glancing sideways at her.

“Are you really my little creature’s sister?

Every word out of your mouth is meant to smear your sister.

I’ve never met a sister with such a dark heart.”

“This kind of sister, she’d be better off without.” Gesturing Baili Xia, he called out.

“Come here, little creature, Uncle won’t bully you.

Come to your Uncle.”

Lu Xuening’s face turned from green to red, while Mu Xiaojiu didn’t even spare her a glance, his gaze fixed on Baili Xia.

“Only certain people would be willing to marry such a venomous woman; with a taste so out of the ordinary, even I admire him.”
