Chapter 449: Is it Admiration or Secret Photography 04_1

“Calm down, Dongfang, you need to calm down!”

Seeing Dongfang Ji grow increasingly agitated, Baili Xia walked over and gave him a reassuring pat.

“Dongfang, in this state, we can’t have a proper talk.”

“Speak.

I’m all ears, go ahead.”

Dongfang Ji’s chest heaved up and down.

He sucked in a deep breath, struggling to calm himself down.

However, right now, he really couldn’t achieve the “calm” state.

His elder brother possessed poison, his brother had been poisoned!

How could he stay calm?

“Dongfang, the poison isn’t as dreadful as we thought, at least, Mr.

Nangong said he won’t be in a critical condition right now.”

“Just temporarily!” Dongfang Ji growled.

Realizing his loss of composure, he looked away with his back towards her, still unable to suppress his anger.

That was his most admired elder brother since childhood, the bond between them had always been strong.

How could he stand by and watch his elder brother suffer without lifting a finger?

But, right now, what good would his rage do?

After what felt like an eternity, Dongfang Ji turned back to look at Baili Xia.

“Tell me what’s going on.

What kind of poison does my brother have?”

“I am sorry, Dongfang.

Even Mr.

Nangong couldn’t figure out the nature of the poison.”

Baili Xia herself was also anxious about this matter.

If they could pinpoint exactly what the poison was, she wouldn’t need to work so hard to take care of Uncle.

Heaven knew how she had been living a hell-like life from last night till now!

Dongfang Ji was clueless about what Baili Xia had undergone.

All he knew was, his heart was aching intensely!

“So what now, what about my brother?”

“There is still someone who can help him.” Baili Xia tried to comfort him with her gaze.

Aware of their deep fraternity, she could foresee his agitation.

She took her time, before continuing, “I’m thinking about a solution, give me a little more time.”

“But if the poison in my brother’s body…if he…”

“No.” Baili Xia hastily shook her head, “If there’s any risk, it would be a long-term issue.”

She took a deep breath, continuing her efforts to console him.

“Listen to me.

Mr.

Nangong said the poison would affect his nerves.

Over time, he might…he might turn into…”

“He might become a madman, right?”

Dongfang Ji’s palm tightened, and his knuckles let out a cracking sound.

Lu Xuening, this poisonous-hearted woman, dare she!

“Now Jin and your parents trust her, Dongfang.

We can’t act recklessly.”

Because, they didn’t know what force was backing Lu Xuening.

Was all of this just her doing, or was there some organization behind her?

Where did her poison come from, who taught her hypnosis?

Even Baili Xia, who had known her for so many years, was left totally in the dark.

Moreover, Guisu, when did he truly appear by Lu Xuening’s side?

Though Baili Xia lived together with Lu Xuening, Lu Xuening always looked down upon her.

Quite often, Baili Xia and her mother were driven out.

When Lu An needed them, they were called back home.

When they were not needed, they were simply tossed aside.

Lu Xuening led a luxurious life from her childhood.

On the other hand, the life that Baili Xia and her mother led was even inferior to ordinary folks.

There were indeed many things about Lu Xuening that Baili Xia was unaware of.

However, in the past, they simply considered her a spoiled, wilful young lady.

Who would have imagined that she was not just wilful, but also so malicious!
