As agreed with her mother, Mu Xiaoyu went directly to the sanatorium two days later.
She arrived much later than last time, I don't know if she wanted to give her mother more time to think, or if she wanted to give herself time to regret it.
However late she arrived, she still went in the end.
Ma Yuqing seemed to have already made up her mind. Her expression was very calm. When she saw Mu Xiaoyu coming over, she smiled gently at her and beckoned her in, saying, "Come in. I've seen you standing at the door for quite a while."
Mu Xiaoyu gave a soft "hmm" and walked over to the bedside without hesitation to sit down.
"Mom, what's your decision? Do you want to see Mu Pengzheng?"
Mu Xiaoyu gritted her teeth, no longer hesitating, and went straight to the point. Rather than lingering there anxiously, it was better to cut to the chase and resolve the matter quickly.
"Xiaoyu, do you want me to go see him?"
"In no mood!"
Without even thinking, Mu Xiaoyu replied immediately. If she weren't afraid that her mother would have any regrets, she wouldn't want her mother to see Mu Pengzheng at all. A man like Mu Pengzheng was not only unworthy of being her father, but also unworthy of being her mother's husband!
Seeing Mu Xiaoyu's sudden excitement, Mu Xiaoyu's mother smiled. She beckoned to Mu Xiaoyu, signaling her to come closer, and when Mu Xiaoyu's upper body was close enough, she reached out and gently ruffled Mu Xiaoyu's soft hair a couple of times.
"I know you're worried about me, but the things between your father and me need to be resolved. I think you understand me, right?"
Mu Xiaoyu lowered her head and didn't speak. Of course she understood. If she didn't understand, she wouldn't have told her mother about Mu Pengzheng before.
With things already said to this extent, even without being explicitly stated, Mu Xiaoyu understood what her mother was thinking.
She said no more, lowered her head, and pursed her lips as she asked, "When would you like to see him?"
"Next week, I need to think it over carefully. What should I say when I see him..."
As she finished speaking, her voice grew softer and softer, and it was unclear whether she was speaking to Mu Xiaoyu or to herself.
Mu Xiaoyu, however, grew even more silent after hearing her mother's words. Next week was just a few days away.
“Then I’ll go back and have Brother Shenxu’s people make proper preparations. It won’t be easy for you to get to the prison like this.”
The blows Mu Peng slashed at Mu Xiaoyu's mother not only damaged her internal organs but also severed the tendons in her legs. Although Mu Xiaoyu's mother's legs weren't broken, she was practically crippled in her current state.
She nodded, looking at Mu Xiaoyu with gentle eyes, and said softly, "Xiaoyu, how have you and Shen Xu been lately? Are you getting used to life at the Li family? After all, a wealthy and powerful family like theirs probably doesn't really like people from our background."
Perhaps feeling that after seeing Mu Pengzheng, the mother and daughter might not have the chance to meet again, they talked more than usual this time.
Mu Xiaoyu patiently spoke with her mother, but did not mention the Li family. After all, in her opinion, even if she married Li Chenxu now and had a good relationship with him, it had nothing to do with the Li family.
And those people from the Li family wouldn't have any contact with her own family, so she didn't need to talk to her mother about those unrelated people.
When Mu Xiaoyu left this time, Li Chenxu came to pick her up. As soon as she stepped out, Li Chenxu seemed to sense her heavy mood and immediately hugged her in his arms.
The broad and powerful chest instantly made Mu Xiaoyu feel at ease.
She reached out and hugged Li Chenxu back, burying her face in his chest, and said in a muffled voice, "My mom...she agreed."
"Xiaoyu..."
"I'm fine. Actually, I expected this, but after hearing what she said, I still feel sorry for her. What is it about Mu Pengzheng that makes her like him and still want to see him!"
Before the kidnapping, Mu Xiaoyu still had some affection for Mu Pengzheng, but after that kidnapping, even that last bit of affection between them disappeared.
Moreover, by now, Mu Xiaoyu's hatred for Mu Pengzheng is almost uncontrollable.
Li Chenxu held Mu Xiaoyu without saying a word. In his view, this was just how feelings were.
After all, they were not involved in the relationship between Mu Pengzheng and Mu Xiaoyu's mother, so they did not understand their feelings as deeply as the parties involved did.
Moreover, this thing isn't a matter of value or worthlessness. Just like when Mu Xiaoyu didn't like him yet, he still liked Mu Xiaoyu unconditionally.
"Alright, I was just venting, don't worry. Look at you, you haven't relaxed your brow at all lately, you look like an old man."
Mu Xiaoyu left Li Chenxu's embrace and saw that Li Chenxu's brows were furrowed with worry. She reached out and smoothed them out one by one.
Seeing that Mu Xiaoyu really didn't seem to be in any trouble, Li Chenxu finally smiled. He took Mu Xiaoyu's hand, kissed it, and said softly, "If I were really an old man, wouldn't you love me too?"
"Of course I don't like you! What I value most about you is your face. If you weren't pretty, I wouldn't like you!"
As Mu Xiaoyu spoke, she reached out and touched Li Chenxu's face.
It would have been better if she hadn't touched it, because touching it made Mu Xiaoyu very upset. After all, she wasn't some little girl fresh out of school anymore; as time went by, her appearance would inevitably change.
Mu Xiaoyu is no different from any other woman; she is afraid of getting old or becoming less attractive, so she puts a lot of effort into skincare.
Then look at Li Chenxu, a typical straight man. Although he takes good care of himself, he only uses things like face wash and never uses any other skincare products.
Even so, Li Chenxu seems to have changed no at all over the years. His skin is better than that of many women. On the contrary, as time goes by, his temperament becomes more and more mellow and attractive, like red wine.
How could Mu Xiaoyu not be angry at such a comparison?
The more Mu Xiaoyu thought about it, the more indignant she became. She reached out and pinched Li Chenxu's face again, pouting as she said, "What's wrong with your face? You're getting prettier and prettier. Tell me the truth, do you secretly go to get beauty treatments and then go to seduce those vixens outside?"
