Chapter 342: Once He Adored Her As His Life 25_1

Baili Xia let out a breath, turned around and walked over to sit obediently next to Mu Xiaojiu.

She had wanted to say all those words for a long time, but out of respect for Dongfang Jin, she didn’t want to make things too difficult for Lu Xuening here.

She didn’t expect that Uncle, after hearing their brief exchange, had already sensed the animosity between them.

What’s more surprising was that he would speak up for her and criticize Lu Xuening.

This woman, who was viewed as gentle and kind-hearted by everyone, who no one had ever dared to criticize before, was being admonished by Uncle on her behalf today.

As she sat down, Mu Xiaojiu’s long arm reached out and pulled her into his embrace.

Looking at Lu Xuening, who was still standing there, he said impatiently, “No money yet?

Why don’t you just leave?”

Then he looked at Baili Xia and the disdainful look in his eyes immediately softened into one of adoration.

“Little creature, don’t you know to come to me if you want money?

Why bother with this poor and heartless woman?”

“I understand, I won’t do it again in the future.”

Baili Xia smiled at him, nestled in his arms, as obedient as a little lamb.

“I don’t know what you’re talking about, is it wrong for me to care about my sister?”

Lu Xuening, who had been so wronged in their presence, suddenly had tears welling up in her eyes.

“Why do you have to make my concern for her seem so despicable?”

Mu Xiaojiu didn’t say anything, too lazy to argue with her.

Baili Xia also ignored her, knowing that being obedient by Mu Xiaojiu’s side would make her life easier.

Lu Xuening wanted to say something else, but they ignored her outright.

To pursue it any further would just make her look foolish.

Turning around, she returned to the VIP seat next door.

She lowered her head and sat silently next to Dongfang Jin, only occasionally wiping the corner of her eye with the back of her hand.

She thought Dongfang Jin would at least comfort her a little, but he just sat there in silence, his mind clearly elsewhere.

She didn’t know if he had heard their conversation.

She stole a glance at him, and seeing his distant expression, her heart chilled.

She knew it, seeing Baili Xia again, he would be as distracted as ever.

After the incident a year ago, Baili Xia came to find him several times.

Each time, although he harshly threw her out and had her chased away.

But once she was gone, he would look in the direction of her departure, staring mesmerized for a good half an hour.

Now, he’s back to being obsessed again.

He was about to get engaged to her, how could he be thinking about other women at such a time?

Biting her lip, she quietly started to sob.

Dongfang Jin was indeed thinking about something, namely that Baili Xia had asked Lu Xuening to borrow money.

Fifty million, why did she need fifty million?

Was she short of cash?

Did she encounter some difficulties?

He hadn’t paid much attention to their argument afterwards, he found such quarrels quite bothersome.

His mind was preoccupied with whether Baili Xia asking Lu Xuening for money was a joke or if she really was in trouble.

She was now part of the Mu family, why hadn’t they helped her with her problem?

The sound of Lu Xuening’s sobs brought him back to reality.

He looked at her and saw that she was secretly wiping tears.

Although he knew she was wronged and that he should comfort her.

But at this moment, he felt incredibly annoyed.

In the end, he pulled out a clean tissue from the coffee table and handed it to her.

“Stop crying, wipe your tears.

Since they don’t appreciate your intentions, why bother humiliating yourself?”
