Chapter 329 I Want You Back to the Li Family
Li Chenxu nodded, placed the previous documents in front of Old Master Li, and said, "Besides finding these documents, there is another matter I need Father's help with."
"Help? Hmph! Aren't you so capable? You're willing to give up the Li family business, and now you need my help?"
Despite the somewhat deliberately difficult tone from Old Master Li, Li Chenxu didn't take it to heart, only noticing Old Master Li's perfectly calm expression. Seeing this, Old Master Li couldn't say anything more.
He let out another heavy snort, then picked up the documents in front of him and glanced at them. After just one glance, Old Master Li's expression turned serious.
"This is Lin Qing's information. I saw it before. Why are you looking for this now?"
"Did Father look carefully?"
Upon hearing this, Old Master Li remained silent, carefully reviewing the documents once more. After finishing, he finally asked, "Where did Lin Qing go wrong?"
Seeing this, Li Chenxu should realize that something was wrong, so he didn't ask any more questions and continued, "I think Father knows about what has happened recently. Although Xiaoyu's mother helped and Mu Pengzheng provided a lot of information, there is still a lot we need to investigate. And now, I suspect that Lin Qing is involved with these people."
At this point, Li Chenxu paused, glanced at the documents in Old Master Li's hand, and continued, "Before I sponsored Lin Qing, there were other people sponsoring him, but that person immediately stopped when I decided to sponsor him. I suspect that the person who initially sponsored Lin Qing is involved in this matter again, and of course, Lin Qing himself is also involved."
"So you want me to help you investigate Lin Qing?"
Old Master Li was a smart man, and as soon as he heard Li Chenxu say that, he immediately understood what Li Chenxu meant.
Upon hearing this, Li Chenxu chuckled and, without standing on ceremony with Old Master Li, said directly, "Originally, I was thinking of investigating this matter myself, but Xiaoyu's words reminded me. In the current situation, it is most appropriate for you, Father, to investigate. As for me, I will remain inactive for the time being, otherwise, if I arouse Lin Qing's suspicion before the results are in, it will be a loss."
This time, Old Master Li remained silent. Normally, he would have agreed immediately. But this time, he didn't.
No one knew what Old Master Li was thinking, but he would glance at Li Chenxu every now and then, his eyes full of contemplation.
Li Chenxu remained composed, showing no discomfort on his face, and calmly allowed Old Master Li to scrutinize him.
"I can help you with this, but you have to promise me one thing."
After a long while, Old Master Li finally spoke.
"what's up?"
"I want you to go back to the Li family."
Li Chenxu seemed to have expected Old Master Li to say this, and his face showed no surprise: "Once this matter is completely resolved, I will return to the Li family. However, Father must also keep the promise you made to Xiaoyu. Father, and the rest of the Li family, must not make things difficult for Xiaoyu in the future."
Upon hearing the mention of Mu Xiaoyu, Old Master Li's expression immediately darkened slightly, though it was still somewhat better than before. He gave a heavy snort and finally said, "Alright, I understand. When have I ever gone back on my word?"
Li Chenxu didn't speak, but he thought to himself: Hasn't Father broken his word many times?
However, Li Chenxu did not say any of this. Hearing this, he simply hummed in agreement and left the study without saying anything more.
After Li Chenxu left the study, Old Master Li's face immediately darkened. His eyes, already heavy with worry, stared at the documents in his hands, his expression growing increasingly grim...
When Li Chenxu returned to his room, Mu Xiaoyu was already asleep. Perhaps because she was not used to sleeping in the same bed, Mu Xiaoyu didn't sleep very soundly. When Li Chenxu finished washing up and got into bed, Mu Xiaoyu groggily opened her eyes. Seeing Li Chenxu get into bed, she instinctively snuggled into his arms.
This unconscious action greatly pleased Li Chenxu. He lowered his head and kissed Mu Xiaoyu's forehead, then hugged her tightly and fell asleep together.
That night, Mu Xiaoyu and Li Chenxu stayed overnight at the Li family's old residence for the first time since Mu Xiaoyu married Li Chenxu. So, Mu Xiaoyu woke up earlier than usual the next morning, while Li Chenxu, for some reason, woke up later than Mu Xiaoyu.
Fearing that Grandpa Li would cause them trouble again, Mu Xiaoyu reached out and nudged Li Chenxu, whispering, "Chenxu, wake up, it's time to get up!"
After taking cold medicine, Li Chenxu has been sleeping soundly for the past few days. Mu Xiaoyu shook him for a while before he finally woke up.
The moment Li Chenxu opened his eyes and saw Mu Xiaoyu, he smiled. Mu Xiaoyu thought he would wake up, but the next second, Li Chenxu stretched out his long arm, pulled him back into his arms, and then closed his eyes and fell asleep again.
This was the first time Mu Xiaoyu had ever seen Li Chenxu so reluctant to get out of bed, and she was both amused and exasperated.
She reached out and poked Li Chenxu's chest, whispering, "Brother Chenxu, you have to get up. If we get up late, your dad will scold us."
"No, he won't say anything about you anymore."
Li Chenxu said with his eyes closed, and after speaking, he kissed Mu Xiaoyu's lips again: "Go to sleep, it's still early, sleep a little longer, we can talk about it when you wake up."
Mu Xiaoyu wanted to say something, but Li Chenxu didn't give her the chance at all. Seeing the faint marks under Li Chenxu's eyelids, she swallowed back the words she was about to say.
Li Chenxu is already tired enough, and he has finally had some time to rest these days because he is sick. So she is naturally embarrassed to bother him again.
So after a short while, Mu Xiaoyu buried her face in Li Chenxu's chest and fell asleep.
When she woke up again, the sun was already high in the sky. If she went downstairs at this time, who knows what kind of sarcastic remarks Grandpa Li would make to Mu Xiaoyu.
"Oh no, oh no, Brother Chenxu, you should get up, it's too late!"
Fortunately, Li Chenxu had already woken up, but he was still lying lazily in bed, seemingly with no intention of getting up.
"Are you so afraid of my father?"
“I’m not afraid of him, I’m afraid of his nagging. He always repeats the same two sentences over and over again, without any new ideas. It’s so annoying to listen to. If I make fewer mistakes and he talks less, we’ll both be happy.”
As Mu Xiaoyu got up and dressed, she muttered to herself that there was no need for her to pretend to be ingratiating with Old Master Li in front of Li Chenxu. The Li family's prejudice against her was already deeply rooted, so there was no need to feign ingratiation.
