Chapter 423 I hope you can live for yourself
The moment this thought crossed Mu Xiaoyu's mind, she was almost convinced that this was the truth, and her wariness of Bai Ye deepened.
However, she didn't show it on her face. After a few seconds of silence, she gave Bai Ye a very faint smile: "I just thought about it. Although what Bai Luo did this time was indeed quite unfair to me, it really has nothing to do with you, Mr. Bai, and you don't need to compensate me for anything. As for matters of the heart, let nature take its course. I haven't been feeling well these past two days. If you have nothing else to do, Mr. Bai, may you leave now?"
Mu Xiaoyu's words were impeccable. Bai Ye was a sensible person. Whether he genuinely liked Mu Xiaoyu or not, there was no reason for him to stay any longer.
He nodded, glanced around the empty villa, and frowned immediately: "Did Li Chenxu take all the maids with him when he left?"
"No, I made them leave myself. Now I'm alone in this villa, and it's more comfortable being by myself. I'll just hire a cook in a while."
Hearing Mu Xiaoyu's explanation, Bai Ye's expression softened a little.
"I'll be going now. If there's anything you need me to do, just contact me."
Mu Xiaoyu nodded with a smile, watching Bai Ye get into the car and leave. Only after the car had completely disappeared from her sight did she close the door and go back inside. But the smile on her lips vanished the moment she turned around.
She sat down on the sofa, closed her eyes, and began to recall the events of the past few days. The blow of her mother's suicide was so great that when she learned of Li Chenxu's 'betrayal,' she didn't think much of it.
Now that she's calmed down and thought carefully about what's happened recently, she feels that there are several things that aren't quite right.
If there really was something between Li Chenxu and Bai Luo, she couldn't have been completely unaware before. More importantly, the fact that Li Chenxu told her was all too sudden.
Mu Xiaoyu frowned, pondering carefully. She felt there were too many suspicious points, but all of this was just her speculation; there was no substantial evidence whatsoever. More importantly, at this moment, it was not a good time for her to investigate anything.
She was well aware of the severity of Li Chenxu's situation, but now that Li Chenxu knew the password to the box and had new clues and evidence, the situation should improve a lot.
At this moment, Mu Xiaoyu suddenly regretted her impulsiveness. She should have found out what had happened before proposing a divorce to Li Chenxu. At the very least, she should have known what was in the box. That way, she would have been better off than being like a headless fly, lost in her own thoughts.
Mu Xiaoyu thought and thought but couldn't come up with any useful information, so she couldn't help but call Song Yin.
"Why are you calling me at this time? Is something wrong?"
“Yes, something is wrong, Song Yin. Can you do me a favor and find someone to keep an eye on Bai Luo and Li Chenxu’s movements?”
Although Mu Xiaoyu doesn't have any concrete evidence yet, she still suspects that Bai Luo and Li Chenxu are having an affair. However, Bai Ye might be secretly watching her, so she can't easily do it herself and can only try to get information from Song Yin.
However, Song Yin had no idea what she was thinking. As soon as she heard Mu Xiaoyu say that she was monitoring the things between Bai Luo and Li Chenxu, she immediately jumped up.
"Mu Xiaoyu! Are you out of your mind? You and Li Chenxu are officially divorced now. How can you still have illusions about such a scumbag who betrayed you and cheated on you?"
Song Yin, with her fiery temper, couldn't hold back any longer and unleashed a torrent of abuse on Mu Xiaoyu.
Mu Xiaoyu wasn't annoyed; instead, the corners of her mouth turned up slightly. Of course, she knew that Song Yin was acting this way because she cared about her. It was precisely because she had experienced more and more things and had fewer and fewer people around her that she cherished such care even more.
Mu Xiaoyu let Song Yin scold her until Song Yin got tired of it, then she patiently explained, "It's not what you think, Song Yin, let me explain..."
When Mu Xiaoyu was with Song Yin, she trusted her completely and told her all her guesses and suspicions. Moreover, the main reason she asked Song Yin to help follow Li Chenxu and the others this time was not because of her own romantic problems.
She knew very well how much harm Lei Chao's son's matter would cause to Li Chenxu if it wasn't thoroughly resolved. If Li Chenxu hadn't betrayed her at all, and everything he was doing now was just to protect her, then if something happened to Li Chenxu, she probably would never forgive herself for the rest of her life.
After listening to Mu Xiaoyu's explanation, Song Yin on the other end of the phone remained silent for a long time.
Mu Xiaoyu did not urge Song Yin, but patiently waited for Song Yin's decision.
Time passed second by second, and it was unclear how much time had gone by before Song Yin finally made a move.
"But Xiaoyu, have you ever considered that all of this is just your speculation and suspicion? What if... what if what happened between Bai Luo and Li Chenxu is true? What do you plan to do then?"
Mu Xiaoyu chuckled softly upon hearing this. She had already anticipated Song Yin's response, and remained calm, saying slowly, "I've thought about this. If that's really the case, then I'll just consider myself stupid and unlucky. No matter how precious feelings are, they're not as important as a person's life."
When Mu Xiaoyu learned about the relationship between Bai Luo and Li Chenxu, she felt an immense sadness and anger that still pains her to this day.
But so what? One of these two people was the man she originally planned to love for a lifetime, and the other was one of her best friends, someone she treated like a younger sister.
Even though she harbors hatred and resentment towards them now, she still doesn't want to see anything happen to them.
She used to think she was heartless. After all, having lived a second life, she always believed that nothing or no one was more important than herself.
But now she realizes that she is still soft-hearted, and that she is still pitifully naive.
“Okay, I promise you. I’ll have someone take care of it right away. But Xiaoyu… I hope you can stop here. No matter what the truth is, I don’t want you to get involved anymore. You’ve suffered too much. From now on, I just want you to live for yourself.”
