Chapter 454 Look at yourself now!
Li Chenxu stood by the bed and watched Mu Xiaoyu quietly for a while. Finally, he couldn't help but reach out and wipe away the tears that were still wet at the corners of Mu Xiaoyu's eyes.
He told himself again and again that at this critical juncture, no matter what Mu Xiaoyu did, he had to harden his heart. Now he knew who Lei Chao's son was and had some important evidence in his hands. As long as he got the remaining key evidence, he and Mu Xiaoyu could go back to normal.
It's one thing to understand something in your heart, but quite another to actually remain indifferent.
Especially when Mu Xiaoyu called to say she was injured somewhere, Li Chenxu's heart jumped. It wasn't until he heard what Mu Xiaoyu said later that he understood what had happened.
He was indeed at the Bai family home when Mu Xiaoyu called him, and it was true that he was discussing his marriage with Bai Luo with Mu Xiaoyu.
Now, wherever they go, Li Chenxu and Bai Luo always appear inseparable. What Mu Xiaoyu doesn't know is that, besides Song Yin, there were also people from the Bai family who were monitoring Li Chenxu and Bai Luo.
Even those from the Bai family who were monitoring them, seeing Bai Luo and him being so intimate, didn't believe that the two were really together.
If the Bai family's doubts are not dispelled, then even if Bai Luo is a member of the Bai family, there will be no way to obtain the evidence they want.
Marrying Bai Luo is the best way to lower the guard of the Bai family right now.
Li Chenxu shouldn't be coming over at this time; he knows that better than anyone.
However, he couldn't control himself.
After leaving the Bai family, he managed to avoid Bai Ye's gaze and returned to the villa.
In just half a month, Mu Xiaoyu has lost a lot of weight compared to before. In the past, Li Chenxu would pamper and cherish Mu Xiaoyu, afraid that she would suffer any harm. Now, seeing Mu Xiaoyu's haggard appearance, his heart aches.
Seeing Mu Xiaoyu's furrowed brows even in her sleep, Li Chenxu couldn't help but lower his head and kiss her forehead.
That's still not enough, far from enough. He needs to become much stronger to truly protect Mu Xiaoyu and prevent her from suffering any harm.
Mu Xiaoyu slept soundly and didn't notice that Li Chenxu had come. When she woke up, she was still in the same sleeping position. She had just been lying on the bed crying and had fallen asleep while crying, so her position was not elegant at all. Now that she was awake, her whole body was sore and weak.
She rubbed her slightly sore shoulders and was about to get up to wash up and make herself something to eat when her phone rang.
The call was from Song Yin, who was on vacation at the time. Song Yin always loved to sleep in, and she would never call Mu Xiaoyu this early unless it was something very important.
For some reason, the moment Mu Xiaoyu saw Song Yin calling, a bad premonition immediately gripped her heart.
This time, Mu Xiaoyu did not answer Song Yin's call immediately as usual.
It wasn't that she was timid, but after what happened last night, she felt that her emotions were much more vulnerable than usual. If Song Yin called now with bad news, she might not be able to handle it, and then she would be in big trouble.
Mu Xiaoyu calmly analyzed everything, hesitated for a few seconds, then hung up on Song Yin and sent her a text message.
"What's wrong? Did something happen that you're calling so early?"
Did you see the news this morning?!
Song Yin replied to the text message quickly, using several exclamation marks in a row, which showed how urgent the matter was.
Looking at the text message, Mu Xiaoyu pursed her lips and did not reply immediately, but instead opened the news interface.
She had just opened the headline news when, in the next second, the news of Li Chenxu and Bai Luo's engagement appeared before her eyes.
She already knew last night that the two were planning to get married, but the shock she felt was nothing compared to the immediate impact of this news.
But she had already cried all her tears last night, and at this moment, Mu Xiaoyu really couldn't cry anymore.
She stared blankly at the news, unable to come to her senses for a long time.
Song Yin was clearly very worried about Mu Xiaoyu's current situation. Seeing that Mu Xiaoyu hadn't replied to her text messages for a while, she called again. Mu Xiaoyu didn't answer several calls in a row.
It wasn't that she didn't want to answer, but rather that she didn't know what to say if she did.
Song Yin is her best friend now, and she probably knows her current situation better than anyone. Even if she answers the phone and hears the comforting words in her voice, she doesn't know what to do.
The phone rang several more times, but Mu Xiaoyu didn't answer. Song Yin on the other end seemed to have finally given up, but only a few seconds later, Song Yin's text message came through.
I know you're sad right now. I'll keep you company. How about we go out for a drink?
There's no such thing as true empathy in this world. Song Yin couldn't understand how heartbroken Mu Xiaoyu was, but she knew she couldn't leave Mu Xiaoyu alone. She had suffered too much recently, and she was afraid something might happen to Mu Xiaoyu if she was alone.
Mu Xiaoyu glanced at the text message but still didn't reply. She lay back down on the bed, overwhelmed by a wave of negative emotions.
Even at this moment, she wanted to ignore everything, leave everything behind, and just be an ordinary person.
If that's really the case, even if she still has feelings for Li Chenxu, those feelings will eventually fade away. It's better than being in the same city as Li Chenxu now, watching him be affectionate with other women, right?
Mu Xiaoyu thought this way, and the thought popped into her head. In the following moments, it continued to expand, as if she had already confirmed this idea in her heart.
Mu Xiaoyu stood up dejectedly, then began packing her things. It was best to leave, to leave everything behind, to get far away from this place, far away from all this trouble…
Just as Mu Xiaoyu was starting to pack her luggage in a daze, a commotion suddenly came from downstairs, with Song Yin's voice faintly mixed in.
Mu Xiaoyu immediately felt a chill run down her spine. She hurriedly tried to put down what she was holding and go downstairs to check, but just then, Song Yin rushed up from downstairs.
As soon as Song Yin arrived, she noticed the luggage scattered around Mu Xiaoyu. Without saying a word, she slapped Mu Xiaoyu across the face. The slap wasn't hard, but it was enough to wake Mu Xiaoyu up.
"Mu Xiaoyu! Look at yourself now! You're trying to kill yourself and run away with just a stinky man! Look at the state you're in!"
