Did you do Chapter 340?
The instant Mu Xiaoyu asked that question, countless thoughts flashed through Li Chenxu's mind, and he listed all sorts of possibilities.
Now he looked at Mu Xiaoyu with a sharp and aggressive gaze, as if he wanted to see right through her.
Originally, Mu Xiaoyu was just trying to ask Li Chenxu a question, but she didn't expect Li Chenxu to be so thoughtful. For a moment, Mu Xiaoyu didn't know how to answer Li Chenxu.
She didn't dare look into Li Chenxu's eyes, afraid that he would notice something was wrong.
"It's nothing, I was just asking casually. As you know, Mu Peng is my father, but the things he's done to me have never been like what a father would do."
Mu Xiaoyu remained relatively calm while speaking, but her evasive eyes betrayed her true emotions.
Li Chenxu saw all of this, but he didn't say anything to expose Mu Xiaoyu.
After a few seconds, she suddenly chuckled softly, then reached out and gently ruffled Mu Xiaoyu's hair twice, saying with a smile, "Alright, let's not talk about this anymore. Don't you still have to finish your manuscript? Go finish it first. After lunch, I'll take you to your aunt's place."
Seeing that Li Chenxu did not continue to ask questions, Mu Xiaoyu secretly breathed a sigh of relief. She nodded and said nothing more. She secretly glanced at Li Chenxu and saw that there was nothing wrong with his expression before turning around and going upstairs.
After what happened today, Mu Xiaoyu naturally had no heart to work. When she picked up her paintbrush, her mind was filled with thoughts of Mu Pengzheng's death and the Li family's affairs. These various things intertwined and kept appearing in Mu Xiaoyu's mind, giving her a splitting headache.
In just over an hour, only a few strokes have been made on the drawing tablet. It's just a figure, and it's still not completely finished.
Mu Xiaoyu seemed lost in thought, her gaze fixed on the drawing tablet on the table with a slightly dazed expression. Finally, she put down her paintbrush, took out her phone, and dialed the number for the Li family's old residence.
"How dare you call at this time?"
The phone rang a few times before being answered. It was Grandpa Li calling. Almost before Mu Xiaoyu could speak, she heard Grandpa Li's voice.
Mu Xiaoyu took a deep breath, ignoring Old Master Li's sarcastic words, and asked in a deep voice, "My father is dead, did you do this?"
"Mu Pengzheng is dead?"
Grandpa Li seemed somewhat surprised, unsure whether it was true or not. He then chuckled and said, "Someone beat me to it, Mu Xiaoyu. To tell you the truth, I did intend to take action against Mu Pengzheng to give you a warning. However, before I could make a move, Mu Pengzheng was killed. You can't blame me for this."
Grandpa Li has now told Mu Xiaoyu everything. Perhaps because of this, he no longer intends to pretend in front of Mu Xiaoyu. The arrogant attitude he displays while speaking makes Mu Xiaoyu feel nauseous. If Grandpa Li were in front of Mu Xiaoyu right now, Mu Xiaoyu is almost certain that she would slap him without hesitation.
Who cares if he is Li Chenxu's father, or if he is an elder?
How could someone say such a thing? It's one thing to not care about her as a daughter-in-law, but it's another to not even care about Li Chenxu.
In that case, why should she respect Old Master Li at all!
At this moment, anger filled Mu Xiaoyu's chest, and it took her a while to barely suppress the rage in her heart.
She sneered and said coldly to Old Master Li on the other end of the phone, "Heaven is watching what people do. I hope one day you won't regret what you're doing now!"
After saying that, Mu Xiaoyu didn't give Grandpa Li any chance to speak and hung up the phone directly.
The moment she hung up the phone, Mu Xiaoyu threw it onto the carpet. She wasn't someone who liked to vent her anger by throwing things, but this incident was just too infuriating. If she didn't vent her anger, she was afraid the Li family would really drive her to her death!
But while she was angry, Mu Xiaoyu couldn't help but feel sorry for Li Chenxu.
She used to think she was already quite pitiful, that her father was always thinking about how to deal with her and how to kill her. But the root of everything Mu Peng did was simply his obsessive and perverse love for his mother.
Even if it's obsessive and twisted, it's still love. Besides, she has her own mother who protected and loved her since she was little.
But what about Li Chenxu? Not only did his own father have no feelings for his biological child, but he also had no feelings for Li Chenxu's mother. Neither of Li Chenxu's parents loved their child in the slightest.
Moreover, now that things have come to this point, Li Chenxu's father even wants to use Li Chenxu to atone for the sins he himself committed.
Even if Mu Xiaoyu had a broad mind, the thought of this made her feel suffocated, and the thought of Li Chenxu made her feel even more heartbroken.
She couldn't help but cover her head, unsure of what to do.
What is the best way to achieve a win-win situation?
"Madam, lunch is ready. My husband asked me to call you down for lunch."
Just then, the study door was opened from the outside by the maid. The atmosphere in the villa had been tense lately due to various events, which was why the maids were so cautious around Mu Xiaoyu and Li Chenxu, afraid of saying or doing anything wrong and upsetting them.
Mu Xiaoyu snapped out of her reverie upon hearing this. She quickly suppressed her agitation and gave a curt "hmm" to the maid before getting up to leave. However, after only a few steps, she suddenly turned back, picked up her phone from the carpet, deleted the previous call record with Old Master Li, and then left.
The maid who came to call Mu Xiaoyu walked behind Mu Xiaoyu. After Mu Xiaoyu went downstairs, she suddenly turned around and glanced in the direction of the study. However, she did nothing, just glanced at it twice before following her downstairs.
When Mu Xiaoyu came downstairs, Li Chenxu was on the phone with someone, his expression stern, constantly scolding the person on the other end of the line. He didn't even notice Mu Xiaoyu coming down.
The phone call lasted for several minutes before Li Chenxu hung up. The moment he saw Mu Xiaoyu, the gloom on his face vanished completely.
