Chapter 531: Not Tortured Enough by Him Yet_1

“Do you still have friends in Jin City?” Mu Xiaoyao didn’t mean to complicate things.

Turning around, he started to walk downstairs with Baili Xia: “Who sent you something?”

Looking at his demeanor, he clearly intended to accompany her.

Baili Xia hesitated briefly before revealing: “It’s from Mr.

Jin.”

Mu Xiaoyao paused, stopping in his tracks.

The moment he halted, Baili Xia almost crashed into him.

Baili Xia quickly stopped as well, reining in her steps just before she might have bumped into his back.

She looked up at him with narrowed eyes, “What’s the matter?

I almost bumped into you.”

“Didn’t you just say ‘almost’?” He didn’t give a hoot, scrutinizing the look in her eyes.

“Dongfang Jin sent you something?

What exactly did you two talk about?”

Earlier today, when he had brought her back from the grove of trees, Dongfang Jin had said something similar before leaving.

Something about fulfilling a promise he made to her.

What had she asked him to promise?

“It’s nothing serious, I just asked him to deliver something to me.

Is that not allowed?”

Baili Xia pouted her lips, resisting his increasingly domineering and autocratic behavior even more.

Her brother now was the spitting image of Uncle!

“Of course, it’s not allowed.” To her surprise, Mu Xiaoyao was even more tyrannical than she thought!

“You belong to the Mu family.

Whatever you want, I will buy for you.

You don’t need another man worrying over you.”

Having said that, he casually gave an order to the servant downstairs: “Let the Dongfang family’s people go.

Xiaxia doesn’t want their stuff.”

Ignoring these people, he turned around, placed a large hand on Baili Xia’s shoulder and tried to compel her to follow him back upstairs.

“Brother!

Brother…wait, Butler, wait!

I want that thing, don’t kick them out!”

Baili Xia was on the brink of being driven mad by Mu Xiaoyao.

Where in the world did such an unreasonable person come from?

“Brother, it’s a very important item and can’t be bought!”

Mu Xiaoyao looked at her, didn’t say a word, but also didn’t allow her to go downstairs.

Baili Xia was frantic, for fear that the housekeeper would really dismiss the people from the Dongfang family.

Left with no choice, she finally tugged on Mu Xiaoyao’s sleeve: “Then you…you come with me.”

…Walking alongside her towering brother in the front courtyard, Baili Xia finally understood why he was so reluctant to let her go out.

She had barely escaped death at the hands of Guisu just today, and Guisu is after all allied with the Dongfang family.

So, as of now, Brother was full of unspoken aversion and resistance towards the people of the Dongfang family?

But, once she got the item, she still had lots of things to do later.

Would it be…inconvenient if Brother was around all the time?

The person waiting in the yard was Dongfang Jin’s assistant, Lei Shuo.

Baili Xia knew this man.

During the two years when Dongfang Jin lived in the secondary mansion, the person who visited him most frequently was Lei Shuo.

Seemingly, all important matters concerning Dongfang Jin were handled by Lei Shuo.

For Dongfang Jin, Lei Shuo’s significance was equivalent to Ye Hua’s position beside Uncle.

Seeing that it was Lei Shuo who had personally delivered it, Baili Xia finally let out a sigh of relief.

At least, after Dongfang Jin left, Lu Xuening wouldn’t have a chance to harm him again.

After receiving the item from Lei Shuo and bidding him goodbye, Baili Xia started running towards Sihai Residence with the box in hand.

Mu Xiaoyao thought that this girl would never willingly step foot in Sihai Residence again in her lifetime.

Unexpectedly, she seemed quite eager to go there.

“Uncle has gone to Licheng and won’t be back for a few days.” He followed behind her, kindly reminded her for once.

“I didn’t say I was looking for Uncle.” Baili Xia didn’t even turn her head to reply.

Who would want to go find that jerk?

Wasn’t she tortured enough by him already?
