Chapter 818: Did Uncle Scold You Just Now

Mu Ziying was really lucky, innocent yet happy.

She was so lucky that even Baili Xia almost began to feel envious and jealous.

In contrast, she was younger than Mu Ziying, but why did she have to experience so much?

Couldn’t she also live openly and happily like Mu Ziying?

Even without much money and a luxurious material life, simplicity itself was a form of happiness.

Why had fate arranged for her to meet Uncle?

No, she should ask, why did Uncle pick her out from the crowd?

What exactly was he planning?

What did he want to use her for?

Could all of this just leave her alone, as she was just an ordinary girl?

So ordinary, couldn’t she be allowed to live an ordinary life?

“Xiaxia, what’s wrong with you? Why do you look so down?”

The bustling seaside market, previously teeming with people, had made way for a group of strikingly handsome men and beautiful women, allowing them to move unhindered in the otherwise crowded space.

At this moment, Baili Xia and Mu Ziying walked at the forefront, with Dongfang Ji following closely behind Mu Ziying, and Mu Xiaoyao by Baili Xia’s side.

A short distance behind these four, Ye Hua walked leisurely with Mu Xiaojiu.

Even from afar, it was clear they were all together.

The mere presence of so many attractive men and women was enough to draw attention.

Not to mention Uncle, walking behind them, causing much commotion and chaos.

Girls couldn’t help but scream, and even those who didn’t, stared fixedly at him, not blinking.

The four youngsters walking in front seemed accustomed to the disturbances caused by Uncle.

Whenever he appeared in a crowded place, especially where there were many women, such sensational reactions were expected, and everyone just got used to it.

“Xiaxia, what is really wrong?

Also, your eyes are so red, have you just cried?”

“Why?

Did Uncle scold you?

But you won the championship today, how could Uncle possibly scold you?

He should praise you.”

Mu Ziying kept fussing, staring intently at her reddened eyes, her face full of suspicion.

Baili Xia then remembered that her eyes still felt sore and were definitely still red.

She slightly lowered her head to avoid letting Mu Ziying notice anything wrong and could only nod in agreement with her.

“Uncle criticized me for not shooting well with the first two arrows, saying I could have scored more.”

“Are you kidding? You just missed two arrows. Moreover, you weren’t even in form then, how could he blame you?”

Although Mu Ziying was complaining, Uncle was not far behind them.

Even though she complained, she intentionally lowered her voice, fearing that the man behind would hear.

Yet, she indeed felt some injustice about Uncle’s strictness.

Xiaxia had won an individual championship, and yet Uncle still found fault in her performance.

What about her and Qing?

She wondered if they would also be scolded by Uncle later.

Gently pulling on Baili Xia’s sleeve, she whispered words of comfort.

“Don’t panic, Uncle is just like that; he scolds and then it’s over. If we perform well in the future, Uncle won’t scold us anymore.”

Baili Xia kept nodding, not wanting to continue the conversation, and turned to look towards another seafood stall.

But as she looked up, she accidentally met Mu Xiaoyao’s questioning gaze.

Her heart trembled, and she immediately felt guilty.
