Chapter 457: Uncle He Drugged Me 02_1

Mu Xiaoyao did not miss the deep anguish in Baili Xia’s eyes.

He didn’t want to see it, and he strangely couldn’t bear to watch either.

Looking away into an unknown corner, he tried to sound as calm as possible.

“At that hotel, you and Uncle…”

“No.” Baili Xia clutched at the corner of her clothes.

Even though she had not done anything wrong, she always felt like she could never hold her head high when it came to discussing these incidents.

“I ran away.” She took a light breath.

Since she had already started talking about it, she didn’t want to keep running from the truth.

“I jumped from the second floor and woke up in a small guest house.”

“Afterward, I didn’t see Uncle for a long time, until…”

Her grip tightened and her breathing grew more frantic.

She closed her eyes, a pained expression on her face as she recalled the past.

“Until the day I met a distinguished guest during my summer internship in a company …”

…

Mu Xiaoyao didn’t know how he managed to steel himself and listen to the entire account.

Could Uncle, as depicted in Baili Xia’s narrative, be the same Uncle he knew?

Forcing himself onto a young girl in such a disgusting manner…

Could Uncle have really done this?

Didn’t he, like Mu Xiaoyao, despise getting physically close with women?

Mu Xiaoyao couldn’t understand, he couldn’t comprehend any of it.

Suddenly, it seemed like he understood something.

He lifted his long, thick lashes, looking again at Baili Xia who was still standing in front of him.

“You said Uncle forced…

Did grandfather find you that day?”

He couldn’t bring himself to say the word ‘violated’.

Such a horrific memory it must be for a girl.

But why?

Why would Uncle do such a thing?

With his resources, wouldn’t he know in advance that Baili Xia was the one grandfather was looking for?

He looked at Baili Xia, and after a moment of silence, she nodded.

“Let’s go!” Suddenly, Mu Xiaoyao stood up abruptly.

He took her hand and was about to lead her outside.

“Where are you taking me?” Baili Xia brought her steps to a sudden halt, unwilling to leave with him.

She had an ominous premonition.

If she went out with Brother, she was certainly in for a tough time.

“I’m taking you to him, we must confront him about his actions!”

Mu Xiaoyao wasn’t angry, he was panicked.

An inexplicable unease kept accumulating in his heart.

The unease grew intenser, as did his pulse.

It seemed like something he had always believed in was collapsing deep within his heart…

“I won’t go!” Baili Xia forcefully withdrew her hand, breaking free from his weak grip.

Retreating several steps until she was sufficiently far from him, she finally stopped.

“I won’t go, I won’t go with you!”

How could she go?

Was she trying to get herself killed?

Uncle sometimes indeed spoiled her, but on the condition that she behaved.

Now, would violating this condition by confronting Uncle along with Brother be considered ‘behaving’?

Though she deeply disliked the word ‘behave’, she had to comply in such matters.

Especially, as Uncle had been irritated with her for a while, because of Dongfang Jin.

If she continued to create trouble, and he refused to let Nangong Yun help, what would she do?

What about Jin?

Mu Xiaoyao didn’t ignore her anxiety and helplessness.

But there were a lot of things he wanted to confront Uncle about.

Many questions he wanted to ask Uncle in person.

Ask him why he did what he did?

Why he forcefully claimed Baili Xia before Grandfather could find her?

Uncle, what was he trying to do after all!
