Chapter 371: Who Is It That Can't Forget 04_1

Baili Xia had just stepped out of the small grove behind the school when her phone rang.

It was a call from Mu Ziying, informing her that she would need to attend some training at the horse grounds in the afternoon.

Training…

this word seemed exceptionally grave.

It was said that the elders from the Eight Big Families were all going there to see the growth of the younger generation over the years.

Once again, it was Mu Xiaoyao who drove them to the horse grounds, but this time, Baili Xia chose to sit in the passenger seat.

The silver chain around her waist was still unique, shimmering dazzlingly in the sunlight.

The chain was really beautiful, clearly designed for a girl.

Even Mu Ziying immediately noticed the chain the first time she saw it.

However, Mu Xiaoyao did not pay any attention to her chain, he didn’t even glance at it.

Seeing her sitting in the front seat, Mu Ziying gave Baili Xia a playful wink.

Everyone knew that Baili Xia and Brother had an ambiguous relationship, and it was probably at “that” point.

Therefore, it was only natural for them to sit together.

However, Baili Xia constantly watched Mu Xiaoyao’s expression.

From the backseat, Mu Ziying chattered nonstop.

“Don’t be nervous when you meet the old fellows.

They might seem serious, but they won’t eat you.”

“You can’t perform poorly—Grandfather will publicly criticize you.”

“Of course, you shouldn’t do too well—we have to save some strength before the official competition.”

“…Well, not that you have much strength to speak of.”

“Who is Grandfather?” Baili Xia asked, picking out the key point from her babbling.

“Grandfather is Grandfather.”

After thinking for a moment, Mu Ziying explained in detail.

“Right, Grandfather is Nangong Yun’s grandfather, and he is the oldest among the Eight Big Families.”

After escaping from Nangong Yun’s clutches last time, Mu Ziying stopped calling that woman Mrs.

Yun.

Meeting Baili Xia’s backward glance, she continued explaining.

“Didn’t grandfather often go out recently?

He went to see Grandfather.”

“Aside from our grandfather, the elders from other families often go to see him, too.”

“But our grandfather and Grandfather are particularly close, so it’s usually our grandfather who keeps him company.”

“Since Grandfather’s health has improved a bit, everyone’s trying to cheer him up by having us younger ones ‘perform’ for him.”

After hearing her explanation, Baili Xia finally understood.

The trip to the horse grounds was not about training but more about showing Grandfather hope in the new generation, to lift his spirits.

That’s why even though they could not fully reveal their strength, they also could not perform poorly.

If their performance was poor and upset Grandfather, they’d become sinners.

However, hearing the name “Nangong Yun,” Baili Xia felt a surge of discomfort.

The scenes she had witnessed herself that day replayed in her mind, making her feel terrible.

In Uncle’s room, on his big bed, two figures intertwined…

She clenched her fists and told herself not to think about it, not to care.

How long could a relationship sustained by a contract last?

Once her debt was repaid, their relationship would be over.

So, whoever he was with didn’t really have much to do with her.

Thinking about it only upset her, so it was better not to think about it.

She just didn’t understand why Ziying would say that Nangong Yun was chased away by Uncle?

Did Ziying deliberately make the story sound that slick because she herself disliked Nangong Yun?
