“Err… Actually, I didn’t know if she had actually escaped or not. We weren’t together when the fire broke out. I only saw her running for her life, but I don’t know if she made it out…”
Bai Xinxin was racking her brains as she came up with that excuse.
Tan Yueru thought for a moment. ‘I suppose it is plausible since Bai Xinxin did seem to have said that just now.’
At that thought, her expression softened slightly.
!!
“That’s right. The situation at that time was indeed too chaotic. Fortunately, Yichen was more cautious. Otherwise, if anything happened to her… How sinful would that have been! Sigh!”
Although she didn’t like Luo Chenxi, she didn’t want anything to happen to her.
“The ambulance is about to leave, let’s hurry there quickly!”
As she said that, Tan Yueru pulled Mu Yunfeng with her as she called out to Bai Xinxin at the same time.
Bai Xinxin shook her head continuously. “Auntie Mu, Uncle Mu, are you going to the hospital? I’m not seriously injured, so I won’t go. Instead, I have to go home first to tell my brother and grandfather that I’m safe…”
‘How could I possibly dare to go to the hospital at this time?
‘If Luo Chenxi woke up, I have no idea what she would say to Mu Yichen.’
At the thought of Mu Yichen’s cold and merciless expression when he strangled her neck that day, Bai Xinxin trembled.
Without a care for her ankle that was still swollen, she turned around and was about to leave.
However, Zhuo Feng suddenly appeared and blocked her way.
“Miss Bai, please wait. The Eldest Young Master has given me instructions that you will definitely be repaid for your kindness of saving the Young Madam from the fire. Until then, please stay with us as a guest and wait for the Young Madam to wake up before leaving.”
Bai Xinxin’s heart instantly tightened.
‘How could I not have seen that Mu Yichen did not believe what I’ve said right from the start!
‘Then, this so-called “repayment”…’
At that thought, she shivered profusely.
“T… There’s no need for that. Big Brother Mu is really… cough cough, he’s really too kind. There’s really no need for that, so I’ll be leaving now…”
“Miss Bai, the Eldest Young Master insists that you stay.”
Zhuo Feng was expressionless and did not budge.
A few bodyguards behind him responded and walked over as they surrounded Bai Xinxin. They looked as if they would forcefully take her away if she did not follow them.
Hence, Bai Xinxin became even more afraid and turned to Tan Yueru for help.
“Auntie Mu, what does Brother Mu mean by this? I really don’t need anything in return. I just want to go home…”
Tan Yueru also sensed that something was wrong and walked over. “Zhuo Feng, what are you doing?”
“Madam, the Eldest Young Master has said that he will definitely investigate today’s matter until he gets to the bottom of it. Before that happens, Miss Bai cannot leave at all!”
Zhuo Feng’s tone may have sounded respectful, but his att.i.tude was very firm.
The bodyguards could not wait any longer. Hence, they simply went forward and immediately carried Bai Xinxin away.
Bai Xinxin was so anxious that she screamed and struggled with all her might.
“Auntie Mu, Auntie Mu, please save me! Big Brother Mu must have misunderstood me! If I’m taken away by his people, I’m finished! Help me!”
Tan Yueru was confused. “What… What are you doing?”
Zhuo Feng smiled. “Madam, don’t worry. The Eldest Young Master is only inviting Miss Bai as a guest.”
“What do you mean as a guest?! Is this how we’d invite someone as our guest?” Tan Yueru’s face darkened. “Let Miss Bai go this instant. The Bai Family is a friend of the Mu Family. So, if word about this reaches the ears of Elder Bai, how are we supposed to explain our actions then?”
“Madam, we are just following orders. If you have any questions, please ask the Eldest Young Master directly.”
The bodyguards then stuffed the struggling Bai Xinxin into a car and left.
Tan Yueru was so angry that her face turned green. “What the h*ll is this brat doing?! Even if that woman almost had an accident, he can’t possibly vent his anger on Xinxin!”
