Be Gentle, My Master

Zimo wanted to see Uncle?

Baili Xia hadn’t expected that.

She turned to look at Zimo and asked with her eyes.

Zimo simply replied indifferently, “An Ran’s injury has healed.

I’m going to thank Mr.

Xiaojiu for her, and also say goodbye to Mr.

Xiaojiu on her behalf.”

“I…

I never said I would leave this place, I want to listen to Mr.

Xiaojiu.”

Ning Anran looked at her, pleading with her eyes, “Zimo, it’s nothing, you guys go back first.”

It was precisely because she and Zimo had been scuffling here that Leng Yu thought she was being bullied, so he started fighting as soon as he arrived.

Leng Yu was really good to her, she was grateful, and didn’t want Zimo to continue to bully Leng Yu here.

Baili Xia finally understood what was going on, and before she could speak up, someone over there had already started calling respectfully, “Mr. Xiaojiu!”

Mr.

Xiaojiu…

Several people suddenly looked up, and sure enough, they saw that tall figure approaching with long strides.

Two people followed behind him, Ye Hua and Mu Lingchuan.

“Mr. Xiaojiu,” Leng Yu also immediately turned around and greeted him with a bow.

“What’s the matter?” Mu Xiaojiu’s cold gaze swept across the few people in front of him, eventually resting on Baili Xia.

Leng Yu’s steps were still a bit unstable, but she stayed closely behind him.

It was only after Mu Xiaojiu stopped that she took a deep breath to calm her frantic breathing.

Looking at him, she said, “Mr.

Xiaojiu, these two girls wanted to bully Miss An Ran, I couldn’t stand it, so I got into a tussle with her.”

“Then, you got injured by her?” Seeing her holding her shoulder, Mu Xiaojiu’s brows furrowed slightly, his gaze falling on Zimo for the first time, “Did you injure my person?”

“Uncle, Zimo didn’t mean it,” Baili Xia immediately shielded Zimo behind her and met Mu Xiaojiu’s gaze.

No matter what grievances they had in private, at least this time, she had to protect Zimo first.

If Uncle got angry, she couldn’t guarantee whether Zimo and Xiaoxiao could leave here safely.

“Zimo said, she just wanted to come over and say thanks, thank you for taking care of An Ran.”

Yet Mu Xiaojiu’s gaze never lingered on Ning Anran, glancing at Zimo before focusing back on Baili Xia, “But she injured my person.”

“Uncle,” Baili Xia’s fingertips tightened, unsure of what to say next.

Did Uncle mean to pursue this further?

When had he become so petty?

As expected, Mu Xiaojiu suddenly said something indifferent.

“Ye Hua, you’re more skilled than Leng Yu, go repay her.”

Upon hearing this, Leng Yu’s expression couldn’t help but change slightly.

“Mr. Xiaojiu, it’s just a trivial matter, there’s no need…”

Originally, having Ye Hua retaliate for her would be good for her, but she truly didn’t think this minor issue warranted Ye Hua taking action.

Being unable to win herself was embarrassing enough without having someone else retaliate for her, especially since the other party was just a teenage girl.

Wouldn’t that be too excessive?

Mr.

Xiaojiu never cared about these small matters, so why today?

Yet Ye Hua had already stepped forward, closing in on Baili Xia and the others.

Zimo tried to step out from behind Baili Xia, but Baili Xia still held her tightly, not allowing her to be rash.

She met Ye Hua’s gaze, looking at him only briefly before looking back at Mu Xiaojiu, “Uncle, what do you want in order to not be angry?”

But Mu Xiaojiu didn’t answer, instead asked in return, “I heard your studies have regressed recently, is it because you spend all day neglecting proper business and running wild with a group of young friends?”
