Chapter 555: Finally Became Someone Else's_1

Mu Xiaoyao lowered his eyes to her, his thin lips pressed into a cold, chilly line.

“In your eyes, I and Uncle have always been so despicable, only capable of doing wrong?”

Baili Xia said nothing, nor dared to speak recklessly.

She was truly afraid Brother might harm Mother.

With her current health condition, she wouldn’t be able to endure it.

No matter who she held in her heart, or how the words she just said broke her heart.

But at least, she had raised her for over a decade, that was a fact.

The kindness of raising her was greater than heaven itself.

What she owed her, she could never repay.

But she couldn’t beg Dongfang Jin to spare Lu Xuening.

Not even considering whether she was willing, even if she was, she didn’t possess the power to do so.

Lu Xuening had harmed the eldest young master of the Dongfang Family, who among them would be willing to let her off?

Mu Xiaoyao came to a halt.

Without any hesitation, he turned and looked back at Lu An.

“I will arrange for a sum of money to be provided to her for retirement, but you had better remember that the money is for her.”

“If Uncle should learn that the money was not spent on her, I think, you should very well understand his methods.”

Lu An’s breathing became erratic.

His heart, they sank to the rock bottom.

Even He Xinjie couldn’t change Baili Xia’s mind and persuade her to lend a hand.

Baili Xia, this rebellious girl, had become wicked enough to completely lose her humanity.

What’s even more frightening was that the words of Mr.

Mu were clearly a warning for him.

In the future, he must stay a lifetime with He Xinjie and treat her well for life.

Otherwise, Mr.

Xiaojiu would never let him go!

How ruthless Mr.

Xiaojiu was in dealing with things, who in Jin City didn’t know?

If Mr.

Xiaojiu wanted someone dead tonight, that person would absolutely not live to see tomorrow’s sun.

For the rest of his life, he was tied to this sick demon!

Mu Xiaoyao ignored them, took Baili Xia’s hand, and strode out of the Dongfang Family, without looking back.

Far away, Dongfang Jin watched their retreating figures.

Until their silhouettes completely disappeared from his sight, he withdrew his gaze with a rueful look.

The young girl had finally become someone else’s.

Now, the Mu Family is her home.

Originally, she should have belonged to the Dongfang Family…

His heart was still in chaos, in utter turmoil.

What on earth was messing around in him!

…

Baili Xia followed Mu Xiaoyao’s departure with a consistently expressionless face.

All the way, the corners of her eyes were clearly tinted with tears.

Yet, her face was calm, showing no emotion at all.

This look only irritated Mu Xiaoyao immensely.

Leaving the Dongfang Family, the car drove over the mountain road.

A journey of a dozen minutes, she remained silent throughout, making no movement.

She sat quietly in her seat, even her seat belt was fastened by him.

On the way down the hillside, suddenly, he made a sharp turn, swiftly driving in a different direction.

“Mr. Mu…”one of his subordinates immediately responded on the intercom.

“Take them home,” Mu Xiaoyao said lightly.

By ‘them’, he was obviously referring to his Uncles’ brothers-in-arms.

“Yes, Mr. Mu.” His subordinate took the order, and along with the others drove off in the opposite direction.

The car drove past the bustling city, after an unknowing duration, finally stopping at the roads’ edge.

Outside the window, it was brilliantly bright.

Baili Xia didn’t realize that, unbeknownst to her, they had arrived at the seaside.

She saw the seascape, but her mind was completely oblivious to what she was thinking.

Her mind was empty, and even when Mu Xiaoyao unbuckled her seatbelt and led her out of the car, she simply didn’t react.
