Chapter 734: The Threat from Father Li
"As for me, I naturally hope that the full moon celebration will be as big as possible, so that outsiders can see how much we value An'an."
Li Chenxu had clearly already made up his mind, and his answer came without hesitation.
Mu Xiaoyu listened without saying anything, her face showing some hesitation. She looked down at An'an in her arms; the little guy's eyes had barely left her, and when he saw Mu Xiaoyu looking at him, he immediately giggled.
An'an is still very young, less than a month old, so naturally she doesn't have any teeth. When she smiles like this, with her mouth wide open, she has no teeth at all, which looks incredibly funny.
Mu Xiaoyu couldn't help but laugh. She imitated Li Chenxu's earlier action and gently poked An'an's soft cheek twice: "Wouldn't it be bad if we went too far? Your identity is already attracting attention. What if they find out about An'an? Would your attention to him put him in danger?"
Li Chenxu instantly understood Mu Xiaoyu's meaning. He shook his head at Mu Xiaoyu: "No, no matter how big or small this full moon celebration is, An'an is still in danger as long as he is my child. But don't worry, I will protect An'an's safety and prevent him from getting hurt. Besides, An'an is our child, and we can't hide our love for him. If we do, An'an might have other ideas when he grows up."
At this point, Li Chenxu reached out and gently ruffled Mu Xiaoyu's hair twice in a doting manner: "We don't need to hide our love for our child. If we make the full moon celebration too bad, outsiders will think that I don't care about An'an. They might even bully An'an in places we can't see. These things should just be left to nature."
Originally, Mu Xiaoyu was a little worried about the full moon celebration, but after hearing what Li Chenxu said, she immediately changed her mind.
Sure enough, she was overthinking things.
Just like Li Chenxu said, many things are better left to their own devices. Thinking too much can sometimes do more harm than good.
So Mu Xiaoyu put her worries aside and said to Li Chenxu, "In that case, I'll leave An'an's full moon celebration to you. I don't know much about this, so you can handle it."
Although Mu Xiaoyu is now quite successful in her career, her background is still quite different from Li Chenxu's. She doesn't know what rules the Li family has, so it's most suitable to leave this matter to Li Chenxu.
Li Chenxu didn't have any objections. Mu Xiaoyu's health was already poor, and even if she wanted to take on this task, he wouldn't let her do it herself.
But this is An'an's full moon celebration, which is a very important event for him. He doesn't trust anyone else to handle it, so he prefers to do it himself.
After Chen Lan and Li's father were arrested, neither of them initially denied the charges. However, there was nothing that could be done about their denials; at most, it would just take longer for the police to process their case. Their conviction and sentencing were only a matter of time.
Unfortunately, since they caused Mu Xiaoyu such harm, Li Chenxu will not be lenient towards them at all. He will even try to increase their sentences on top of their original ones.
Chen Lan may not know this.
But as Li Chenxu's biological father, he knew exactly what Li Chenxu was thinking.
So, on the fifth day after Li's father and Chen Lan were taken to the police station, Li's father finally asked to see Li Chenxu.
When they received the news, Li Chenxu and Mu Xiaoyu were in the study, each doing their own thing, completely absorbed. The phone rang for a while before Li Chenxu finally answered it.
"He wants to see me now?"
After listening to the police, Li Chenxu suddenly laughed. His laughter was full of disdain. Before the police on the other end of the phone could speak, he continued, "He wants to see me, but do you think I should? You all know that my wife and I are victims. Even if he is my father, the harm he caused us is indelible. Do you think I would still go to see someone like that?"
The police officers seemed somewhat hesitant: "Mr. Li, if we could, we wouldn't want to bother you, but your father insists on seeing you. Not only that, he also said that you definitely won't regret seeing him. But if you don't see him, your wife, she..."
The police officer seemed to find it difficult to say the rest, and did not continue, but this made Li Chenxu's eyes narrow dangerously.
"My wife? What happened to my wife? Just tell me."
“Your father said that if you don’t cooperate, what happened to your wife that day will be immediately published online.”
As soon as he finished speaking, Li Chenxu's face turned incredibly grim. The police weren't entirely clear on what Mu Xiaoyu had encountered that day; they could only imagine it based on the scene.
However, since everyone here is an adult, seeing Mu Xiaoyu's appearance at the time, they could guess some of the reasons.
If such images were truly produced and released, a public figure like Mu Xiaoyu would likely be forever stained with such a mark.
Li Chenxu probably understood this very well; his expression at this moment was more than just gloomy. If his father were present, he might even have killed him.
Even through the phone, the person on the other end seemed to sense Li Chenxu's anger, and even slowed their breathing, afraid of angering Li Chenxu at this moment.
Time passed second by second, and no one knew how much time had gone by, but then Li Chenxu on the other end of the phone said in a deep voice, "Okay, I'll be there in a bit."
His few words, seemingly squeezed out from between his teeth, carried an undeniable anger.
The policeman on the other end of the phone felt his hair stand on end, and after a long pause, he stammered out a "okay".
"What's wrong? What kind of trouble has your dad gotten into this time?"
Mu Xiaoyu was engrossed in her manuscript and hadn't noticed what was happening with Li Chenxu. It wasn't until she heard Li Chenxu's chilling voice that she snapped out of her work.
She looked at Li Chenxu and asked him a question with a nervousness that she herself was unaware of.
Upon hearing this, Li Chenxu shook his head and smiled slightly at Mu Xiaoyu: "It's nothing. As you know, things get much more complicated once the police get involved. Plus, the person involved this time is my biological father, which makes it even more troublesome. Don't worry about it. I'll just go to the police station later. That's all."
"But...you didn't look well just now, are you really okay?"
Mu Xiaoyu was hesitant to believe Li Chenxu's words. If it was really that simple, why did Li Chenxu's expression look so grim?
