Chapter 397 I almost forgot the password!
"How was your time at Miss Mu's house?"
Bai Ye sat in the front seat, while Bai Luo sat in the back playing on her phone. Hearing Bai Ye's words, Bai Luo paused, then hummed twice, saying sadly, "We were having a good time, since Xiao Yu doesn't have any annoying relatives here. But for some reason, the day before yesterday, Xiao Yu and Song Yin suddenly had a fight, and she left the next day. After Song Yin left, the atmosphere in the villa felt off, otherwise I wouldn't have come back today."
"quarrel?"
Bai Ye asked, as if he had suddenly become interested, "What did they say when they were arguing?"
"I'm not entirely sure either. We were all in the room when they were arguing. We only came out because the noise was too loud. I just heard Sister Song Yin say something like Sister Xiaoyu was using her..."
Bai Luo's face was full of confusion and sadness. Bai Ye glanced at her, then looked away. He didn't say anything more and closed his eyes to rest in the car.
Seeing that Bai Ye remained silent for a while, Bai Luo secretly breathed a sigh of relief. She lowered her head and stopped looking at Bai Ye, focusing intently on playing on her phone. At this moment, she needed something to distract herself so that she would have enough energy to deal with the troubles and controversies surrounding the Bai family.
Almost an hour passed after Bai Luo left, and Mu Xiaoyu remained mostly silent, sitting blankly on the sofa, seemingly lost in thought. On the third day after the New Year, Li Chenxu became busy, spending less time with Mu Xiaoyu these past two days, mostly in his study upstairs.
Seeing that Mu Xiaoyu was still in the same position, almost motionless, he immediately went to sit down next to her, hugged her and kissed her, and asked, "What's wrong? Don't you want Bai Luo to leave? Or are you worried about her?"
Mu Xiaoyu leaned her head against Li Chenxu's chest and said in a muffled voice, "I'm worried that Luo Luo won't be able to handle the Bai family. You know, Bai Ye and Grandpa Bai fooled both of us back then. How could a little white rabbit like Bai Luo be a match for them?"
After a moment of contemplation, Li Chenxu said, "I know you're worried, but you have to think about it. No matter what, Bai Luo has to grow up eventually. She can't stay under someone else's protection forever."
If the Bai family ultimately wins the battle between Mu Xiaoyu and her friends and the Bai family, then so be it. But if Mu Xiaoyu and her friends win, then Bai Luo will go from being the high and mighty young lady of the Bai family to just an ordinary person. At that time, she will truly begin to face the full spectrum of human nature, experiencing both bitterness and sweetness.
Whether it's bitterness or sweetness, she basically has to bear it all alone. Without the protection of the Bai family, even with friends around her, she will no longer be as carefree as before.
It might not be a bad thing for her to mature earlier now.
Mu Xiaoyu had always treated Bai Luo as a child and had never considered things from that perspective.
Hearing Li Chenxu say this now, I suddenly realized that it made sense.
Thinking about her worries over this period of time, Mu Xiaoyu couldn't help but laugh and cry. She didn't have children yet, but because of Bai Luo, she had experienced what it was like to be a mother in advance.
Moreover, she didn't treat Bai Luo as her own child, but rather as her younger sister, which is why she was so worried.
When she actually has a child in the future, I wonder how worried she will be.
"By the way, what's wrong with Mom these past two days? I've noticed she spends most of her time in her room and hardly ever comes out. I've been busy dealing with Song Yin and Bai Luo's affairs these past two days and haven't had a chance to ask her."
Putting Bai Luo's matter aside for the moment, Mu Xiaoyu immediately thought of her mother. Apart from the two days during the New Year, when her mother seemed a little more lively, she had hardly come down to sleep at all.
"Auntie has been thinking about the combination to the box in the room. Don't worry, everything will be fine."
Upon hearing the mention of the box, Mu Xiaoyu suddenly remembered the password. She couldn't help but slap her forehead: "Oh my god, how could I forget that? Why didn't you remind me? If you hadn't just mentioned it, I probably would have completely forgotten about it!"
I've been having so much fun these past few days that I completely forgot about something so important!
Mu Xiaoyu was filled with self-blame. She quickly looked at Li Chenxu and was about to speak when Li Chenxu grabbed her hand: "Don't keep hitting your head. There's no need to rush about the box password. Take your time and don't put too much pressure on yourselves."
"But what if we don't figure out the combination to the box soon, and they try to harm us in the meantime?"
Mu Xiaoyu immediately became anxious. With so many things happening, she was even more worried, fearing that not only would they themselves get hurt, but they would also implicate Song Yin and the others.
Mu Xiaoyu is always calm when she's not in front of Li Chenxu. But whenever she's with Li Chenxu, she panics terribly when something happens.
Li Chenxu sighed and kissed Mu Xiaoyu's forehead to soothe her: "Xiaoyu, have you forgotten that we have basically figured out who is behind us trying to harm us? In all this time, there has been no news about Lei Chao's son. Either he is hiding too well for us to discover, or he is unable to show himself. Another reason is that Lei Chao's son may be among those who want to harm us."
This conclusion was the result of Li Chenxu's thinking over the past few days. He originally planned to tell Mu Xiaoyu after he had enough evidence, but now, telling Mu Xiaoyu in advance wouldn't hurt, and might even make Mu Xiaoyu feel more at ease.
Upon hearing this, Mu Xiaoyu looked at Li Chenxu in surprise, quickly processing his words in her mind. After a while, she asked uncertainly, "Brother Chenxu, what you mean by saying this is that you're already leaning towards the last conclusion, right?"
Having been together for so many years, and with such a strong relationship, they naturally became more and more in sync in many ways. Hearing Li Chenxu's words, Mu Xiaoyu instantly understood.
Li Chenxu couldn't help but laugh. He reached out and gently pinched Mu Xiaoyu's soft cheek, saying, "That's what I do think, but we don't have enough evidence yet. We still need to consider it from multiple perspectives."
