Chapter 493: Tonight how much of a bastard was he_1

As soon as Baili Xia fainted, Nangong Xu immediately held her close.

The two men who were quietly watching from a distance also began to stride over to them in seconds.

Nobody expected that the girl had only been standing strong due to her powerful willpower.

She had forced herself to make it here.

Turns out, she really couldn’t hold on any longer.

Only after knowing she was safe in Nangong Xu’s arms did she allow herself to pass out.

So weak, yet how could her willpower be so strong?

Nangong Xu carried her into the medical room, where Mu Xiaojiu instantly spread out the blanket on the sick bed.

“Let her lay face down.” Mu Xiaoyao, who had followed them, gave the orders as he observed Baili Xia’s shut eyelids.

“A shoulder injury.

Lying down will press on the bone.”

Those two sentences made Mu Xiaojiu’s large palm immediately tense up.

So tense that even his joints turned white.

So it was due to the pain he was causing her that she had been struggling so fiercely.

He didn’t give her a chance to tell him she was wounded.

He had sealed her lips, not allowing her to speak, while she winced and struggled beneath him.

Yet, he continued to tear her clothes piece by piece, tossing each one aside.

And, due to her struggle, he was blinded by rage.

Completely disregarding whether she could handle it or not, he rushed into her wildly without any foreplay…

At that time, she was probably in unbearable pain, wasn’t she?

It turns out, he really had done something despicable tonight!

So, when she was changing her clothes alone in the room and when she walked out, how unbearable must her pain have been?

Nangong Xu didn’t know what had happened between them, but when Baili Xia fainted, there were still two teardrops hanging in her eyes, not willing to fall.

Even someone as cold-hearted as him felt a pang of heartache watching this.

After all, she’s just a young girl.

Why must she always be tormented like this?

Couldn’t she just live a happy life?

Her peers and even those older than her, like Mu Ziying, live happily every day, don’t they?

Living the life of young miss, having everything she wants, and going anywhere she desires.

But what about Baili Xia?

She is also a young miss of the Mu family, although not a biological one.

But at least the old man acknowledged her identity and she is considered a legitimate daughter.

But her life doesn’t seem full of much happiness…

Cautiously, he unbuttoned her collar and rolled her clothes down a bit, exposing the injured shoulder.

When he saw the large bruise on her shoulder, Mu Xiaojiu wanted to punch himself out of guilt.

She was so badly injured!

“Today I drank and was attacked without being aware.

She took a hit for me and got injured like this,” Mu Xiaoyao told Mu Xiaojiu as he looked at him.

Seeing Uncle’s sympathy for Baili Xia and the pain in his eyes when seeing her injury,

Mu Xiaoyao suddenly didn’t seem so angry anymore.

Uncle does care about Baili Xia, he just wasn’t clear about what Uncle wanted from Baili Xia, or if there was any ulterior motive.

He couldn’t bear to associate his beloved uncle with the words “ulterior motive.”

However, he could smell something unusual going on.

Now, how should he face his beloved relative?

Is there really a conspiracy?
