Outside the small alley, a luxurious yet low-key car was parked.
The elderly man in his seventies with silver hair couldn’t wait for Ye Ying and Baili Xia to come out and had already gotten out of the car.
Under the escort of two bodyguards, he was hurrying into the alley.
Seeing Ye Ying carrying Baili Xia out, and noticing the bloodstain on her clothes, the old man became frantic and quickened his pace.
“What happened?
Is Xiaxia hurt?
How serious is it?”
Ye Ying approached the old man, and respectfully called out, “Sir Mu.”
Baili Xia looked at the old man in front of her.
His face was full of anxiety, his gaze kept reviewing her body.
It was obvious that he was genuinely concerned about her.
Yet, she had no memory of him.
Seeing the question in her eyes, Sir Mu, despite his anxiety, met her gaze.
His voice trembling with an excitement he usually didn’t show: “Xia…Xia, you are Baili Xia…aren’t you?”
Baili Xia did not answer immediately.
Instead, she looked up at Ye Ying, who was holding her.
Ye Ying hurriedly explained to her, “He is Lord Mu, also the one I told you wanted to meet.”
And then, he gently added, “Don’t be afraid, Sir Mu is a good man, I promise.”
Baili Xia then looked into Sir Mu’s eyes filled with care and excitement.
She nodded and softly said, “I…I’m Baili Xia.
You were looking for me…?”
“Do you have a necklace with the word ‘Baili’ engraved on it?”
Sir Mu was truly excited.
“You…you have a pink birthmark on your left chest.
It’s somewhat like a butterfly and a flower.
It’s been a decade or more, I don’t know what it looks like now, but it should still be there.
Can you check?”
Baili Xia unconsciously clenched her fist.
She didn’t need to check.
It was her own birthmark, how could she not know?
However, it was such a private spot.
No one knew about it except the people she was closest to.
And also the necklace she was wearing…
She reached out subconsciously to touch the necklace, yet she hesitated.
Seeing her reaction, Sir Mu knew that this time he had found the right person.
In an instant, a surge of sourness filled his heart, and he could barely hold back his tears.
He walked over, grasped her shoulders excitedly, his voice hoarse, “It’s been years, Xiaxia, I finally found you.
I finally…finally found you!”
The reason for her refusal was because she had just been violated by Mu Xiaojiu today.
This was something she didn’t want to make public yet.
However, Ye Ying, insisting on her demand, had his wound treated as soon as he arrived at the hospital.
Sir Mu spent the whole night with Baili Xia, sharing countless details about her background.
Even though Sir Mu kept reminding her to call him “grandfather”, she was not actually his biological granddaughter, but the granddaughter of his old comrade in arms.
Baili Yang, her biological grandfather, was in the same unit as Sir Mu.
Sir Mu was accidentally ambushed by the enemy, and it was Baili Yang who saved him, but in doing so, Baili Yang lost his life in the battle.
Talking about this incident, there was always a trace of fog in Sir Mu’s eyes.
One could tell that he had been holding a grudge against it for many years, never letting go.
Just like his guilt towards Baili Xia, it had never lessened.
After the tragic accident took the lives of Baili Xia’s parents, Baili Xia, who was only about one year old, was lost out in the world and had disappeared for 17 years.
Now that he had finally found her back, he would never let her suffer again.
Holding her hand, Sir Mu sincerely said, “Xiaxia, would you come home with grandfather?
Please, give me a chance to atone.
Let me take care of you from now on, okay?”
