Chapter 16 Apologize
Mu Xiaoyu didn't speak, but glanced at Wu Qianru's arm that was linked with hers, then forcefully pulled her arm away, raising an eyebrow and looking at Wu Qianru with a mocking expression: "miss? Why don't you live properly in front of me now? Besides, Wu Qianru, have you forgotten what you did at the banquet? If you can't remember, do you want me to help you recall?"
At this moment, Mu Xiaoyu was different from before. Her domineering aura made Wu Qianru feel a little scared.
She didn't dare look at Mu Xiaoyu, and upon hearing this, she could only force a smile and say, "Xiaoyu... I know I was wrong before. I've been reflecting on my actions at home these past few days, so I came to apologize to you..."
At this point, Wu Qianru's smile faded. She lowered her head, sobbed twice, and feigned a sob, saying, "Xiaoyu, I know you resent me, but I truly know I was wrong. Please forgive me this once, okay? I promise this will never happen again..."
Mu Xiaoyu almost burst out laughing at Wu Qianru's clumsy acting. She felt that her past self was incredibly stupid. Wu Qianru's acting was so bad that a little observation would have revealed that she was acting, but her past self just couldn't tell.
Looking back now, it's no wonder that Wu Qianru framed me so many times back then.
Mu Xiaoyu naturally didn't want to be friends with someone like Wu Qianru, but since Wu Qianru was still useful, she couldn't just let her off so easily for the time being.
After listening to Wu Qianru's apology, Mu Xiaoyu sighed deeply and looked at Wu Qianru with some sadness: "Qianru, I have always regarded you as my best friend. That's why the things you did at the banquet that day made me so angry... But now that you are sincerely apologizing, there is no need for us to dwell on the past."
"So you forgive me?"
Wu Qianru looked up in surprise. As long as she reconciled with Mu Xiaoyu, she could return to this circle and then have a chance to get close to Li Chenxu again and snatch him away!
Mu Xiaoyu could easily see through Wu Qianru's intentions. She couldn't help but sneer inwardly, but on the surface, she put on a sincere expression. She took Wu Qianru's hand, patted it gently, and said with a smile, "They say that there are no grudges between husband and wife that last overnight, but in my opinion, it's the same with friends. Okay, let's not talk about that anymore. Have you had breakfast? If not, I'll have someone make some."
At this point, Mu Xiaoyu winked at Wu Qianru and said, "The food at home is all prepared by a nutritionist and a top chef. It's delicious!"
Wu Qianru had naturally eaten breakfast before coming, but she had never experienced what a refined breakfast from a wealthy family was like. Now, after being tempted by Mu Xiaoyu's words, she hesitated for a moment before nodding in agreement.
Seeing Wu Qianru nod, Mu Xiaoyu's smile deepened. She pulled Wu Qianru to sit down on the sofa in the living room and said, "I'll go tell the people in the kitchen first. You sit here for a bit, I'll be right there."
After saying that, she went into the kitchen without giving Wu Qianru a chance to react.
Within minutes, Mu Xiaoyu emerged. It was clear that Mu Xiaoyu was in good spirits; the smile on her face never faded.
Seeing her like this, Wu Qianru felt that her previous belief that Mu Xiaoyu had changed was just her illusion. How could someone as brainless as Mu Xiaoyu possibly change?
Thinking of this, Wu Qianru became even more smug.
She knew that Li Chenxu valued Mu Xiaoyu highly right now, but so what? A woman as brainless as Mu Xiaoyu would eventually make Li Chenxu disgusted with her. Plus, Mu Xiaoyu kept wanting to divorce Li Chenxu, which made things even easier…
"Madam, Miss Wu, please have it ready soon."
Wu Qianru chatted idly with Mu Xiaoyu for a while, each with their own thoughts. They appeared to be laughing and talking, but neither of them was really paying attention. Now that the housekeeper had suddenly arrived, Mu Xiaoyu immediately perked up.
"Qianru, are you starving? Hurry up and go over there, or it will get cold and won't taste good."
Wu Qianru was really looking forward to this breakfast. When she heard Mu Xiaoyu say that, she immediately nodded, got up and walked towards the dining room.
She had fully expected that the breakfast prepared by Mu Xiaoyu's family would be as exquisite as that of a five-star hotel, but when she saw the food on the table, the smile on her face immediately faded.
On the huge dining table were several dishes, all of which were deep-fried insects. There were spiders as big as a palm, and some insects that Wu Qianru couldn't even name. They were pitch black and not only unappetizing, but also made people want to vomit!
"What's wrong? Do you think there's not enough? Qianru, don't underestimate these things just because there aren't many. They're very expensive. They were specially sent to Li Chenxu by his business partner. We ate this this morning, and now there's only a little left. You don't think there's not enough, so you're complaining, do you?"
As Mu Xiaoyu spoke, her eyes looked at Wu Qianru with an innocent yet somewhat disappointed expression. Wu Qianru had just reconciled with Mu Xiaoyu and was in a position to appease her. Hearing her words, she could only force a smile and say, "No! No… I just haven't seen such a lavish breakfast before, so… so I was a little too excited…"
It was a blatant lie, and Mu Xiaoyu almost burst out laughing. Even the butler next to her coughed lightly once or twice to cover his mouth and hide his laughter.
"If you like it, then eat it quickly, it won't taste good when it gets cold."
"Why don't you eat some too?"
Wu Qianru's hands were trembling. How could she possibly eat these insects?
"I won't eat anymore. I ate enough with Li Chenxu this morning. I'll eat this. There wasn't much to begin with."
For a fleeting moment, Wu Qianru felt that Mu Xiaoyu was deliberately messing with her. But seeing the sincerity in Mu Xiaoyu's eyes, she realized she was overthinking it. She was just asking her to eat these things…
Wu Qianru stared at the insects on the table, her expression growing increasingly contorted. But what if she didn't eat them, and Mu Xiaoyu disagreed with what she was about to say?
After hesitating for a long time, Wu Qianru finally sat down, suppressing her nausea, and with trembling hands, picked up her chopsticks and reached towards the plates of insects...
