Chapter 215 Old Master Li visits
Mu Xiaoyu buried her head in Li Chenxu's back, rubbed against him haphazardly for a couple of moments, and finally said, "It feels so good to be home now. I'll never let you stay in a place like the hospital again..."
No one likes a place like a hospital, and Li Chenxu was both amused and exasperated, but his heart was warmed.
He hummed in agreement, then turned around and hugged Mu Xiaoyu in his arms. He rested his chin on Mu Xiaoyu's head and said in a low but slow voice, "You should have said that you can't go to a place like that, so that I won't worry."
Mu Xiaoyu enjoyed the simple feeling of embracing Li Chenxu like this, and Li Chenxu's words, which were more sweet than romantic words, made her feel like she was floating on clouds.
She hugged Li Chenxu back, about to speak, but just then, there was a knock on the door, and the next second she heard the maid's slightly flustered voice.
"Sir and Madam, people have come from the old house... and the situation... doesn't seem good."
These words made both Mu Xiaoyu and Li Chenxu frown, especially Mu Xiaoyu, whose brows and eyes unconsciously revealed a hint of irritation.
Many times she even thought that it would be nice if it were just her and Li Chenxu, but such a seemingly simple wish is not so easy at all. It is probably not so simple for her and Li Chenxu to be together properly.
Among them, the greatest resistance probably comes from the people at the Li family's old residence.
"Let's go down and take a look."
Li Chenxu discreetly observed Mu Xiaoyu's expression, then released her and took her hand in return.
The warm, dry palm seemed to possess some strange power, instantly calming me down.
Without delay, the two immediately headed downstairs.
There weren't many people at the Li family's old house this time. There was only Old Master Li, a younger member of the Li family, and Xu Sulin, who was not a member of the Li family.
Compared to last time, at least from the outside, Xu Sulin seemed much more composed. At least now when he saw Mu Xiaoyu, he no longer expressed his emotions as directly as before, and appeared very calm.
Her appearance surprised Mu Xiaoyu somewhat, but the surprise was only momentary. Soon, Mu Xiaoyu's attention was drawn to Old Master Li.
Mu Xiaoyu didn't know why Grandpa Li and the others had suddenly come over, or what their purpose was, but judging from Grandpa Li's gloomy expression, she knew it couldn't be anything good.
Every time Mu Xiaoyu faced the Li family, she had to be on her guard.
She and Li Chenxu had just reconciled, and she didn't want to lose control of her temper and have another argument with him.
"You're being discharged so quickly? Did the hospital approve it?"
The two had just walked up to Old Master Li, and before they even had a chance to greet him, they heard Old Master Li's cold question.
Li Chenxu nodded, his expression unchanged, and calmly said, "There's nothing seriously wrong. He should have been discharged a couple of days ago."
"Ha! You're just relying on your youth and good health! Sit down, and tell me how you got injured."
From beginning to end, Old Master Li didn't glance at Mu Xiaoyu even once. The person was right in front of him, yet he treated her as if she were invisible, completely disregarding her.
Mu Xiaoyu was used to being ignored like this, but Li Chenxu frowned as he watched.
"dad."
Li Chenxu called out to Old Master Li, his voice not loud, but the displeasure in his words was obvious.
Upon hearing this, Old Master Li raised his eyelids slightly, his gaze shifting from Li Chenxu to Mu Xiaoyu, his disgust deepening even more than before.
“I didn’t even realize it until you said so. So Mrs. Li is here too. Please have a seat.”
His words were full of sarcasm. Xu Sulin was alright; he had become much more composed. However, the junior next to Old Master Li didn't know how to hide his emotions. Seeing how Old Master Li treated Mu Xiaoyu, he immediately snorted and gave Mu Xiaoyu a hard look.
Upon seeing this, Li Chenxu's face darkened, and he was about to reprimand him, but before he could speak, Mu Xiaoyu tugged at his hand and shook her head at him.
It wasn't that Mu Xiaoyu was soft-hearted or trying to please the Li family. What she did last time was a stepping stone. Since she couldn't make the Li family like her no matter what she did, she decided not to do it.
She didn't want her relationship with the Li family to deteriorate any further, since she and Li Chenxu were husband and wife after all.
The reason for stopping Li Chenxu now is simply to avoid causing more trouble, and also out of disdain for that junior.
She's a mature adult, after all, and there's no need for her to argue with a teenage girl.
Li Chenxu looked at Mu Xiaoyu with a hesitant expression, but in the end he followed her advice and did not scold the girl from the Li family.
The two sat down, and Li Chenxu looked directly at Old Master Li and asked directly, "You know about this matter?"
"What? Shouldn't I know? Li Chenxu, do you even respect me as your father anymore? You married this woman, and now you almost lost your life for her. Are you going to make the entire Li family lose their lives because of this woman in the future?"
Before coming here, Grandpa Li had been holding back his anger for a long time. Now that he opened his mouth, he was practically spitting everywhere. Mu Xiaoyu, who was watching from the side, almost couldn't help but go around to sit behind Grandpa Li.
She felt no emotional fluctuation, but kept her eyes fixed on Old Master Li's constantly opening and closing mouth, afraid that his spittle might end up on her.
Who told you that?
Li Chenxu remained calm throughout, and only spoke in a deep voice after Old Master Li had vented his anger.
"It doesn't matter who told me. The main reason I'm here today isn't because of your injury, but because of your marriage to this woman..."
"Xiaoyu and I are doing well, and we have no other plans. If you're worried about this, I don't think it's necessary. No matter what you say, I won't agree."
No one knows a son better than his father. Old Master Li clearly already knew Li Chenxu's answer, and surprisingly, he wasn't in a hurry. He simply smiled insincerely and said, "Fine, if you insist on being with this woman, that's fine, but the prerequisite is that you hand over all the real power in the Li family and fight on your own... I know your abilities very well. Starting over isn't difficult for you, but..."
