Chapter 857: I Know Her Too Well

Baili Xia had left, and this time Mu Xiaojiu did not stop her.

He only said from behind, “Take it slow, your body is still very weak, be careful going down the stairs.”

Baili Xia ignored him and went straight down.

Watching her hurry, it was clear that she was eager to go out.

Was the conflict just now because of this?

It was only after Baili Xia had left that Mu Xiaojiu looked at Leng Yu, who was still kneeling on the ground.

Leng Yu’s face remained stern, her fists clenched, and her eyes filled with resentment.

Suddenly, Mu Xiaojiu found himself at a loss as to how to deal with the situation before him.

Leng Yu was loyal to him, he knew that, but if she had truly wronged Baili Xia, and now the girl had hit her, how should he resolve this dispute?

Ye Hua glanced at him, surprised that Mr.

Xiaojiu could also be troubled.

Even Leng Yu could see his hesitation.

Mr.

Xiaojiu had always been so decisive in his actions, never at a loss.

But now, was he troubled because he did not know how to choose between her and Miss Xiaxia?

“Mr. Xiaojiu,” Leng Yu moved her lips, feeling a burning pain on both cheeks, making it difficult even to speak.

But it was truly uncomfortable in her heart to see that Mr.

Xiaojiu was troubled for her sake.

“Mr.

Xiaojiu, from now on I’ll know to give way when I see her, so you won’t be put in a difficult position.”

“You’ve never made things difficult for me.” Mu Xiaojiu’s lips moved slightly, his voice devoid of any warmth: “I’m just feeling a bit regretful, since you’ve been by my side for so many years.”

“Mr.

Xiaojiu!” Leng Yu suddenly looked up at him, her breath becoming erratic with fright: “Mr.

Xiaojiu, what do you mean by that?

Mr.

Xiaojiu, do you not want me anymore?”

“If you can’t get along with my people, I can’t have her living in my place, suffering grievances every day.”

“Mr.

Xiaojiu, she was the one who started it.” Leng Yu said anxiously.

However, Mu Xiaojiu just looked at her evenly: “I know her temperament all too well. She wouldn’t initiate a confrontation with anyone unless it was absolutely necessary.”

Leng Yu’s thin lips trembled a few times, but she did not know what to say.

Even Ye Hua could not contradict what Mu Xiaojiu said, because the Miss Xiaxia he knew indeed had such a personality.

She never liked to provoke trouble on her own, but if someone really pushed her into a corner with no way out, she would fight back.

After a long silence, Ye Hua finally looked at Leng Yu and asked softly, “What exactly happened just now?

Why did she hit you?”

“I wouldn’t let her go downstairs.

It’s what Mr.

Xiaojiu said, to let her rest in bed,” said Leng Yu with her head lowered, the words carrying a hint of guilt.

Mr.

Xiaojiu indeed told her to rest well in her room, but he never mentioned putting her under house arrest and not allowing her to leave.

But just now…

she really didn’t let her go down, even though she knew very well that Baili Xia was anxious, she did it intentionally, wanting…

to see her upset.

“And what else did you say?” Mu Xiaojiu asked calmly.

“Mr. Xiaojiu…” Leng Yu looked up at him, her face showing a trace of strangeness.

Mu Xiaojiu’s expression remained emotionless as he simply said, “I know her too well.

Just for that reason alone, she would never escalate things with you.”

“Mr.

Xiaojiu.” Leng Yu’s eyes dimmed.

Mr.

Xiaojiu kept saying he understood her, over and over again.

Were Mr.

Xiaojiu’s feelings for Baili Xia truly that deep?

Wasn’t she just a woman who pleased him with her body?

Could it be that to him, Baili Xia was no longer just a toy?

She was constantly dragging Mr.

Xiaojiu down, messing up his affairs, causing him to get hurt, and even now, Nangong Xu was seriously injured because of her.

Why did Mr.

Xiaojiu still value this woman so much?

What was so good about her?
