Chapter 553: He Says He Can Then He Definitely Can_1

Seeing Mu Xiaoyao about to say something, Dongfang Jin smiled coldly.

“You’re just her brother, not her guardian.

Even if you were her guardian, you don’t have the right to stop her from seeing others.”

“Moreover, she is already an adult.”

The last statement he uttered was bland.

So bland, it felt like it could be swept away instantly by the wind.

She… she’s finally an adult.

Long time ago, he promised her that once she grew up and graduated, he would want her to become his wife.

That deeply buried memory at the bottom of his heart, occasionally resurfacing, still hurt a part of his heart.

Now, he still couldn’t define what his feeling for her was.

Does that feeling, that fondness, still exist?

His heart was as chaotic as fragmentary images in his mind.

With all the miscellaneous toxins left in his body, he was unable to settle down and think about certain things.

So, perhaps it would be better to let her go.

Because he didn’t know what would result from forcibly keeping her by his side.

Baili Xia took a glance at him, then ignored him.

Dongfang Ji stood behind Dongfang Jin, watching Baili Xia closely.

Baili Xia was not unaware of what he was thinking about, but now, her brother was here.

If she discusses possible antidotes with him, her brother might really confine her.

Her brother’s temper was just like their uncle’s.

There was nothing he couldn’t do.

Could she please discuss this matter later?

Please!

Dongfang Ji exhaled a long breath.

It wasn’t that he couldn’t see her discomfort, but he was genuinely frustrated.

But now, as long as the asshole, Mu Xiaoyao, was present, it was indeed not an appropriate time to discuss this.

Reluctantly, he pursed his lips, deciding to drop the subject.

He would seek her out when Mu Xiaoyao wasn’t around.

… The matter seemed to be wrapped up.

As she prepared to leave, Baili Xia gently tugged at Mu Xiaoyao’s sleeve.

“Brother, I want to visit my mother first, there’s something I need to tell her,” she said.

Only then did Mu Xiaoyao remember about someone in here, who his sister was worried about.

“I will accompany you.” He still found the Dongfang family unsafe.

Even after the truth had been revealed, he felt uneasy letting her out of his sight.

If anything happened to her here, their uncle would flay him live!

With a wave of his hand, the soldiers who were behind him instantly withdrew to the entrance of the Dongfang family residence.

Baili Xia quickly glanced at Dongfang Jin as a form of farewell greeting.

Then she hurried off with Mu Xiaoyao towards a small hut in the Lu family’s backyard.

Her mother lived in such a place.

What difference did this place have with the servants’ quarters?

Mu Xiaoyao was caught off guard by the treatment He Xinjie received here.

Given her living condition, he could imagine what kind of life she had been leading all this time.

Just when they were near the door, he glanced at her and said lightly,

“If your mother is okay with it, she can stay in the Mu family’s house for a while.”

“Brother…” Baili Xia paused her steps, turned around and gazed at him, a hint of surprise in her eyes.

Brother… is willing to let mother stay in Mu’s house?

She didn’t have any power there at all.

She was thinking that, once she earned money, she would let her mother lead a good life outside.

She didn’t even dare think about bringing her mother to live in the Mu’s house.

But Brother, now says it’s okay.

Just like that!

If Brother says it’s okay, then it’s definitely okay.

She knew that.

Brother, although he would occasionally join Uncle in teasing her,

But, whatever he said, he could definitely do!
