Chapter 520: Kneeling
Grandpa Li finally agreed. The fact that he came to Mu Xiaoyu in such a humble manner meant that he must have something to ask of her.
Since that's the case, then no matter what Mu Xiaoyu says, he has no right to refuse.
The coffee shop that Mu Xiaoyu chose is very crowded, and given its location in the city center, it might not be so easy for Grandpa Li to do anything he wants.
Moreover, on the way here, Mu Xiaoyu also sent a message to Li Chenxu about Grandpa Li looking for her.
This time, it can be said that everything is foolproof.
"Speak, what do you want from me?"
Facing Old Master Li, Mu Xiaoyu showed him no kindness whatsoever. She crossed her arms, her face cold and even filled with obvious disgust.
In contrast, Grandpa Li, who was in poor spirits and somewhat timid when facing Mu Xiaoyu, was completely different from his previous self.
Those who didn't know the situation might have thought that Mu Xiaoyu had done something bad to Grandpa Li.
"What happened last time was my fault. I know that no amount of explanation will help now, so I don't expect you to forgive me. But could you please ask Shen Xu to let me go and let the rest of the Li family off the hook?"
As he spoke, Old Master Li covered his eyes in anguish. A tear or two even slipped through his fingers. What had Li Chenxu done to drive someone like Old Master Li to this point?
Mu Xiaoyu was somewhat curious, but she still couldn't feel any sympathy for Grandpa Li.
She looked at Old Master Li coldly and said, word by word without any emotion, "What exactly happened? You have to tell me the reason, otherwise what can I do?"
“Chen Xu now controls all of Li's shares, and everything in the Li family is under his control. He holds a grudge against me and the rest of the Li family for what happened before, and he has already collected a lot of evidence. If this evidence is handed over to the police, our Li family’s nearly century-old foundation will be finished. Miss Mu, this time, I beg you, please help us.”
It has to be said that Grandpa Li looks really pitiful now, with tears streaming down his face and his aged appearance, which easily evokes sympathy.
Mu Xiaoyu could even sense that many people around them were looking in their direction.
She suddenly regretted choosing such a crowded place.
But since the person is already here, there's nothing that can be done.
Mu Xiaoyu clicked her tongue impatiently, frowned at Old Master Li, and said in a deep voice, "Stop crying, playing the victim won't work here. What evidence are you talking about? What exactly did you do to keep things from Brother Chenxu?"
When she asked that question, Old Master Li's gaze immediately became somewhat evasive when he looked at her.
Seeing him like this, Mu Xiaoyu had a general idea of what was going on.
It's probably similar to what the Bai family did before, but compared to the Bai family, the Li family's situation is definitely slightly better.
But why would Grandpa Li come to ask her for help? Is he out of his mind?
She, Mu Xiaoyu, is no saint or innocent white lotus. She remembers clearly every single thing that Old Master Li and the other members of the Li family did to her.
She's been busy with things between her and Li Chenxu lately and hasn't had a chance to settle accounts with them.
It's really funny that now Grandpa Li is begging her.
Mu Xiaoyu looked at Old Master Li with a mocking smile and said, "Old Master Li, why are you begging me now? I think you should know what kind of person I am. Do you think I would agree?"
Grandpa Li seemed to have anticipated that Mu Xiaoyu would say these things, and upon seeing this, he quickly placed the things he had prepared in advance in front of Mu Xiaoyu.
"These are all the properties I own, along with some other valuable items, totaling around 100 million. I'll give them all to you, as long as you can get Shen Xu to release us. We don't need any of these things."
As Grandpa Li was speaking, to Mu Xiaoyu's slight surprise, he suddenly knelt down in front of her.
His actions were completely unexpected by Mu Xiaoyu. She never imagined that Old Master Li would kneel down before her.
Mu Xiaoyu was completely stunned. When she came to her senses, a large crowd had already gathered in front of her.
Those who don't know the inside story would think that Mu Xiaoyu was abusing the elderly just by looking at the scene in front of them.
So most of the onlookers were pointing and whispering about Mu Xiaoyu.
Mu Xiaoyu never expected things to turn out this way, and her expression changed instantly.
She ignored the onlookers, squinting dangerously at Old Master Li kneeling before her, and didn't tell anyone to get up.
Mu Xiaoyu stared at Old Master Li for a long time, then suddenly laughed and said mockingly, "You've been planning this all along, haven't you?"
She didn't say what it was, but if Grandpa Li really wanted to embarrass her in public, then he would understand if she said it like this.
However, Mu Xiaoyu thought for a moment and realized that Grandpa Li shouldn't be that stupid.
After all, if Li Chenxu really wanted to take action against Old Master Li and the Li family, Old Master Li's current actions were tantamount to adding fuel to the fire, and Li Chenxu would certainly not let him off the hook.
"Miss Mu, I didn't..."
"Never mind, get up. I'll think about it and give you an answer later."
Grandpa Li seemed to want to explain, but before he could finish speaking, Mu Xiaoyu interrupted him. After speaking, she stood up and prepared to leave.
Of course, before leaving, Mu Xiaoyu also took the things that Grandpa Li had given her.
Strictly speaking, she was not a greedy person.
However, since Old Master Li still has things belonging to the Li family, we might as well take them.
Moreover, once people like Old Master Li lose their money and power, it becomes much easier to deal with them.
By then, even if they want to cause trouble again, Mu Xiaoyu can handle it herself without Li Chenxu.
Mu Xiaoyu left the coffee shop with the things Grandpa Li had given her, ignoring the whispers and pointing fingers behind her, and went straight to Li Chenxu's apartment.
After returning home, she immediately locked the things that Grandpa Li had given her in the safe.
She won't touch these things for now. She'll let Li Chenxu take a look later. If they're some kind of trap set by Old Master Li, it would be troublesome if she touched them.
