Chapter 51: Uncle Don't!

“I’ll just chat with big brother for a bit, you go and have fun.” Before Baili Xia could finish her internal struggle, Mu Xiaojiu’s long fingers had already stroked across her face again.

He even pinched her cheek, as if dealing with a child.

Baili Xia struggled to resist the urge to bite his finger off, grateful that Mr.

Xiaojiu was finally willing to let her go.

She promptly stood up.

After shouting “Uncle” at the approaching Mu Dongyu, she immediately turned and ran away.

Her escape-like movement caused Mu Dongyu to uncontrollably furrow his brows.

Other girls would kill to always stay by Uncle’s side, but this girl avoided Uncle like she would a devil?

“She probably wanted to go out and play – she’s likely been holding back for a while.” Mu Xiaojiu gave a gentle laugh.

When he faced his elder brother, his expression was countless times happier than when he looked at the girls.

However, listening to the tone, it was clear how much he doted on this girl, Baili Xia.

“Xiaxia is indeed a likable child.” After these perfunctory greetings, Mu Dongyu quickly got to the point: “Jiu, how long will you stay this time, will you return to work at Mu Group?”

Mu Xiaojiu is the rightful CEO of Mu Group, however, he has frequently been away and has not stayed at Mu Group for a long time.

Nowadays, most affairs of Mu Group were being handled by his elder brother Mu Dongyu and Brother.

Now that Mu Xiaojiu had come home, it remained to be seen whether he would stay at Mu Group for a long time.

Of course, Mu Dongyu has his own considerations.

However, in front of others, especially this half-brother, he cannot say anything.

Mu Xiaojiu didn’t immediately respond, he just took a glass of red wine from a servant and raised it to Mu Dongyu: “It’s been a long time since I had a good drink with big brother, come, let’s drink a few more tonight.”

Mu Dongyu wanted to speak, but Mu Xiaojiu had already raised his glass to taste the wine, clearly not wanting to talk about Mu Group.

“The two brothers are drinking in the corner, why didn’t you call me, Brother?” Mu Haoguo popped out from nowhere, heading towards them.

“Join us.” Mu Xiaojiu raised his glass towards him.

Mu Dongyu knew, now that Mu Haoguo was here, he and Mu Xiaojiu wouldn’t be able to talk any more.

Having no better choice, he also took a glass from a servant and smiled, “Then okay, let’s drink till we drop tonight.”

“Jiu hasn’t been back for so long, we can’t let him off easily tonight.” Mu Haoguo turned around and saw Mu Lingchuan not far away, immediately calling him, “Lingchuan, come over and join us for a few drinks.”

Mu Lingchuan walked over immediately.

“Where has that child Xiaoyao gone off to?

Didn’t even come back for the banquet tonight.” Mu Dongyu looked at his eldest son and couldn’t help but ask.

“Heard there’s a sports game in these few days.

He stayed at school and didn’t want to come back.” Mu Lingchuan took the wine glass and raised it up to Mu Xiaojiu and Mu Haoguo.

Then, he looked at Mu Dongyu, “Dad, let’s have a drink.”

…

Seeing Mu Xiaojiu being tied up by his two older brothers from a distance, and knowing it would be hard for him to get away for a while, Baili Xia finally let out a sigh of relief.

Seeing him being handed drink after drink by several members of the Mu family, one cup after another, Baili Xia really wished he would pass out.

Only when he’s passed out would she truly feel safe.

Unfortunately, though he had drunk more than ten cups in a row, he showed no signs of passing out yet.

“Xiaxia, what are you standing there for?

Come over and chat with your grandfather.” From not far away, Mu Zhentian’s voice was heard.

“Yes, Grandfather.” After one last look at Mu Xiaojiu, who was still being fed drinks by several men from the Mu family, Baili Xia regained her composure, and walked towards her grandfather.
