Lin Zhu dared not say anything more at this point and readily agreed.
Since the last dinner party, Ge Yun and Li Chenxu have actually had quite a bit of contact. But apart from discussing business matters, the two hardly interact at other times, and things seem quite normal.
But the more she acted this way, the more Li Chenxu felt something was wrong.
After all, to outsiders, Li Chenxu has already broken away from the Li family. Even if Ge Yun is new here and wants to befriend the powerful and influential families in the capital, the first people he should contact are Old Master Li and his family.
However, as far as Li Chenxu knew, Ge Yun and the others had never contacted Old Master Li. After returning to the capital, apart from a couple of times when a few family members came into contact with him, the only person they ever contacted was Li Chenxu. This was just too strange.
Moreover, compared to Ge Yun, although Liang Qiao did nothing, Li Chenxu was much more wary of him...
After leaving the old house, Li Chenxu went straight back to the villa. It was already midnight when he got back. Mu Xiaoyu originally planned to wait for Li Chenxu to return, but she couldn't hold back any longer and fell asleep on the sofa.
Based on what had happened before, the servants in the villa learned their lesson and knew to cover Mu Xiaoyu with a thin blanket when she was asleep.
Afraid of disturbing Mu Xiaoyu's rest, Li Chenxu walked back very quietly. He waved to the servants behind him, signaling them to leave, before carefully approaching Mu Xiaoyu's side.
He knelt down beside the sofa, looking down at Mu Xiaoyu's unguarded sleeping face.
It was clear that today's events had left Mu Xiaoyu somewhat exhausted; even now that she was asleep, there was a faint trace of worry in her eyes.
Li Chenxu felt a pang of heartache watching this, and unconsciously reached out to stroke Mu Xiaoyu's face. His movements were very gentle; if it were an ordinary person, they wouldn't have woken up at this point.
However, Mu Xiaoyu was a light sleeper, and no matter how gently Li Chenxu moved, she woke up at this moment.
Because she had just woken up, Mu Xiaoyu was still a little dazed. When she saw Li Chenxu so close to her, she subconsciously reached out and hugged Li Chenxu's neck, gently nuzzling it twice, and muttered, "Why are you so late?"
Seeing Mu Xiaoyu's childlike actions, the gloom in Li Chenxu's heart instantly vanished. He lowered his head and kissed Mu Xiaoyu's lips, saying with a smile, "It was a bit late when we got there, and we were delayed at the old house for a while..."
Mu Xiaoyu hummed softly in response, then said nothing more. She leaned against Li Chenxu's chest, waking up for a while before fully waking up.
"By the way, what did your dad say about Xu Sulin?"
“He didn’t say anything, but I suspect he’s hiding something from me.”
Li Chenxu didn't hide anything from Mu Xiaoyu about this matter. He told Mu Xiaoyu almost everything he had said to Grandpa Li at the old house.
"So, if there really is some hidden reason behind this, then there must have been some hidden reason behind your father's decision to appoint Xu Sulin as the president of Li's Group."
Li Chenxu nodded: "I'm investigating right now. This matter must be serious, otherwise he wouldn't have needed to hide it from me."
The matter was left at that point, and neither of them said anything more about it.
I'm already tired enough when I'm out, and if I have to worry about these things when I get home, I don't know how exhausted I'll be.
The issues surrounding Song Yin and the film were resolved smoothly. Although the film was somewhat affected, the goodwill of most casual viewers was recovered. Furthermore, under the deliberate guidance of Mu Xiaoyu and Song Yin's studio, many photos and videos of the lead actors being dedicated on set were released, further increasing public anticipation for the film.
Mu Xiaoyu had been keeping an eye on the online activity these past few days. Only after seeing the public's positive feelings towards the movie gradually increase and the negative comments online slowly decrease did she finally feel completely relieved.
She closed her laptop, tidied herself up a bit, and headed out towards SQ.
Following the film's press conference, Mu Xiaoyu's collaboration with the magazine also came to an end. The initial buzz surrounding her new book gradually subsided. Mu Xiaoyu is no longer just a simple illustrator; due to various reasons, she also has many commercial collaborations. Therefore, for her comics, besides her own talent, commercial marketing is even more crucial.
SQ is also very skilled in this area. Even the worst comics they produce will have a certain level of popularity in China. And the best ones have become popular overseas.
Mu Xiaoyu's new comic book has been serialized and is now being paid for for quite some time. Due to the payment issue, some readers have been lost. Although the number is not large, the popularity is indeed decreasing every day.
Mu Xiaoyu went to SQ to discuss the promotion of the comic with Xu Shu.
The weather was unusually nice today. It had been cloudy for days, and when Mu Xiaoyu went out, the sun was blazing. However, it wasn't as scorching as summer; the sunshine felt warm and comfortable on her skin.
She stood in front of the car, couldn't resist closing her eyes to bask in the sunlight for a moment, and only after feeling that comfortable sensation did she get on the car.
SQ is a bit far from the villa, and it was rush hour when she went out, so Mu Xiaoyu didn't take the usual route, but instead drove around to a less busy road.
Although it will take some time, it's much better than the time wasted in traffic jams.
It was precisely because of this that there were few cars on the road that Mu Xiaoyu immediately noticed something was wrong.
There was always a black car following her. She didn't notice it when there were more cars on the road, but now that there were fewer cars, Mu Xiaoyu had seen it out of the corner of her eye several times, and it was following her at a steady speed.
She wasn't a car expert, but judging from the car's appearance, it looked very expensive.
In Mu Xiaoyu's opinion, if the other party were really a wealthy person, there would be no need for him to follow her. Mu Xiaoyu had some doubts in her heart, but she didn't think too much about it. After all, she was driving at the moment and didn't want to get distracted and cause any trouble. Besides, Li Chenxu had always sent people to protect her.
If the other party really wanted to do something detrimental to her, she believed that those who protected her would not stand idly by.
The car came to a smooth stop outside SQ, and at the same time, the car that had been following Mu Xiaoyu also stopped next to her.
