Even if a conflict wouldn't normally break out when encountering other people, it would still be common to throw some sarcastic comments around.
Times have changed, with the Eight Big Families now fishing in troubled waters, all seeking to expand their own influence.
Members of other families are often seen as rivals.
Soliciting genuine concern from these people is almost impossible.
Seeing that Baili Xia had arrived, Dongfang Jin quickly walked over.
Ignoring Mu Xiaojiu's gaze, he went straight up to Baili Xia, "Xiaxia, you're here."
"Jin... Jin, have you returned?" Baili Xia nodded, initially intending to obediently follow Uncle's instructions and address him as Mr. Jin.
But, she inexplicably didn't want to obey anymore.
The words were hers to say, and she could call him whatever she pleased, who was he to control that?
If he got angry, she hoped he'd twist his neck in rage!
Dongfang Jin was quite pleased with Baili Xia's manner of addressing him.
