Chapter 345: Once, He Adored Her As His Life 25_1

Baili Xia let out a breath, turned around and walked over to sit obediently next to Mu Xiaojiu.

She had wanted to say all those words for a long time, but out of respect for Dongfang Jin, she didn't want to make things too difficult for Lu Xuening here.

She didn't expect that Uncle, after hearing their brief exchange, had already sensed the animosity between them.

What's more surprising was that he would speak up for her and criticize Lu Xuening.

This woman, who was viewed as gentle and kind-hearted by everyone, who no one had ever dared to criticize before, was being admonished by Uncle on her behalf today.

As she sat down, Mu Xiaojiu's long arm reached out and pulled her into his embrace.

Looking at Lu Xuening, who was still standing there, he said impatiently, "No money yet? Why don't you just leave?"

Then he looked at Baili Xia and the disdainful look in his eyes immediately softened into one of adoration.
