Chapter 557: Mr

In He Xinjie’s heart, her utmost love has always been for that father and daughter.

And for Baili Xia, He was just a companion who walked with her during her difficult times.

Companions would have their respective paths to take one day, diverging from each other.

She…

is not left with nothing, she still has her uncle, and…

him.

We, your uncle and I, will never abandon you, silly girl.

However, these words, Mu Xiaoyao couldn’t voice out, nor was he used to saying them.

With a firm palm resting on her head, Mu Xiaoyao remained silent.

He let her cry, let her voice her complaints to the world.

One day, she would realize that in this world, there would surely be someone who values her more than his life…

…

“Bro, you have to help me, no matter what, you have to help me this time.”

The door banged close, Nangong Yun rushed in, bolting the door behind her.

She swiftly walked towards Nangong Xu, her eyes turning red from urgency.

“Brother, you have to save me!”

Nangong Xu put down the filing folder in his hand and looked at her: “What’s the matter?”

“I…I made a mistake.

Mr.

Xiaojiu is going to get angry.”

“If he’s angry, explain yourself and apologize, isn’t that enough?”

Nangong Xu ignored her and picked up the file again.

“Bro, you can’t stand by and watch me die. This time, Mr. Xiaojiu will definitely lose his temper.”

With a thud, she closed the filing folder on the table.

Gazing at Nangong Xu, she was almost on the cusp of kneeling before him.

“Brother, I beg you.

Tell Mr.

Xiaojiu that it was my blood that cured his poison, I saved his life!”

“Bro, you have to help me, help me.”

Nangong Xu squinted slightly, his gaze drifting down to her.

“I’ve consulted Baili Xia about this matter.

She doesn’t agree.”

“Bro, are you really going to leave me for dead?”

Nangong Yun, who was always so graceful and elegant, was now in panicked disarray, completely unlike her usual demeanor.

She crouched down, clinging to his leg, as if on the verge of tears.

“Brother, last time I upset Mr.

Xiaojiu, he warned me not to appear before him.”

“He was willing to bring me back this time because there was a task for me to handle.”

“But if you don’t help me now, he…

he will kill me!”

“Our father saved Mr.

Xiaojiu’s life, he won’t kill you.”

Nangong Xu still wanted to read the file, it seemed he really didn’t care about these things.

Nangong Yun tightened her hold around his leg.

“He will, he will kill me, Even if he doesn’t kill me, he will ruin me!”

“What on earth did you do? Why did you infuriate him this much?”

He frowned.

After spending all afternoon looking at the file, his ears were buzzing, he was running out of patience.

“I…” Nangong Yun looked at him, hesitated to speak.

She didn’t want to confess her deeds.

But, the only one who could save her now was her brother.

Mr.

Xiaojiu would at least consider Nangong Xu’s feelings somewhat.

If she now told them that she had risked her life to save Mr.

Xiaojiu, they would at least spare her life.

She was truly out of options!

The situation with Lu Xuening was unexpectedly revealed.

That foolish woman, if she hadn’t placed informants in the Lu family, she wouldn’t know anything at all.

This time, Lu Xuening really brought about her doom!

Mr.

Xiaojiu’s people were already on their way, she couldn’t hold out for much longer.

Even if she managed to escape back to the Nangong family, what then?

If Mr.

Xiaojiu wanted her dead, she was certain that she wouldn’t survive!

Now, her only salvation lay with her elder brother!
