Chapter 535: If not her then who would I marry_1

In the middle of the night, the entire Dongfang Family home was quickly lit up with sky-reaching lights.

Almost all of the security guards had joined the search.

But after searching for the whole half of the night, they still couldn’t find that person.

As for Lu Xuening, because she had personally hurt Guisu.

Dongfang Qing and Qin Yimo completely lost their last bit of suspicion about her, instead, they cherished her more and more.

To protect their Jin, she had even dared to make a move on the terrifying Guisu; it showed how deep her love for Jin was.

Having such a daughter-in-law, truly was the Dongfang Family’s good fortune.

If their son didn’t marry her, then who?

…

That night, Baili Xia had many, many dreams.

She was so tired that when she woke up the next day, she felt drained.

Even dreaming was exhausting, what didn’t she have to deal with?

She didn’t have classes that day, but she still got up early.

After tidying everything up, she went downstairs for breakfast.

Perhaps because she was early, that day, the only person at the dining table was her grandfather.

He said that everyone else was still sleeping.

“Have you gotten used to living here after some time, Xiaxia?”

The grandfather pushed a hot glass of milk towards Baili Xia, his face covered in a warm smile.

“Yes, very much so.

It’s really great here, and everyone treats me well, especially Grandpa.”

Baili Xia gave a sweet smile, she truly respected this grandfather a lot.

He was one of the few who truly cared about her.

His affection for her was even more than that of Mu Ziqing and Mu Ziying, she could feel it.

“Eat well, after you’re full come to my room, I have something to show you.”

“Alright.”

After breakfast, Baili Xia really went into the old man’s room.

She didn’t expect that what the old man wanted to show her was the things left behind during his time as war comrades with her grandfather, Baili Yang.

In that era, they had both fought in northern battles, they were both distinguished soldiers.

Jin City was not as open as it is now, and the Eight Big Families already existed back then.

Even though everyone’s economy was nowhere near as good as it is now, Jin City was totally under the control of the Eight Big Families.

Back then, everyone valued not money, but military merit more.

Because of the influence of their ancestors, the older generation of the Eight Big Families regarded military merit as extremely important.

So, even though the old man had wealth, he preferred to go to war rather than manage the family business.

The high status of the Mu family among the Eight Big Families was not only because the scale of the Mu Group expanded drastically under Mu Xiaojiu.

An equally important factor was that the Mu family’s military merits were always among the top of the Eight Big Families.

Of course, that was in the past; it’s peaceful now, so where were there any wars?

“Back then, your grandpa was so valiant.

Every time there was a charge, he was always the first one to rush into it.”

Speaking of Baili Yang, the old man’s eyes were full of excitement.

His praises for Baili Yang were even more than his own pride.

As for whether he genuinely admired her grandfather or was trying to say good things about her grandfather in front of her, Baili Xia couldn’t say for certain.

In any case, when the old man talked about the past, he always mentioned Baili Yang.

Contrarily, he didn’t talk much about himself.

The relationship between the grandfather and her grandfather was, likely, even better than she thought.

She stayed in the old man’s room for almost an hour, and when Baili Xia came out, it was already nine o’clock in the morning.

The old man and Night Shadow had gone out again, and just as Baili Xia was about to go to the backyard, her phone rang.

The incoming call display showed a strange number, but somehow, it looked slightly familiar.

She answered the phone and softly spoke, “Mom…”
