Chapter 441: Bai Ye's Concern
Mu Xiaoyu didn't know how long she cried, but she eventually fell asleep again. Li Chenxu stood behind the curtain the whole time, and only after he was sure that Mu Xiaoyu was really asleep this time did he come out from behind the curtain.
Afraid of waking Mu Xiaoyu, Li Chenxu walked very quietly and squatted down beside her. He wanted to reach out and gently stroke Mu Xiaoyu's cheek as before, but this time he quickly withdrew his hand before it even touched her face.
He remained in that half-squatting position, looking at Mu Xiaoyu with his dark eyes filled with suppressed yet intense emotions, almost overflowing.
In reality, it's only been a few days. But it felt like an eternity, so long that Li Chenxu could barely contain his intense emotions just looking at Mu Xiaoyu.
However, considering the Bai family's affairs and the unpredictable dangers ahead, Li Chenxu ultimately suppressed his impulse.
This time, he did not stay long before leaving the room.
Mu Xiaoyu slept for a long time before waking up, just like before, she was woken up by the doorbell. The biggest aftereffect of being beaten was that Mu Xiaoyu's whole body ached for the past few days, and even walking was difficult for her.
She originally thought she could overcome these challenges, but now it seems she underestimated them. If she didn't have anyone around, she would probably have a lot of trouble these days.
Mu Xiaoyu didn't know who the person who came so early could be, but based on what happened last time, she was much more vigilant this time. After dawdling downstairs, she glanced at the surveillance footage.
It looks somewhat like the person who delivered takeout to her before.
Mu Xiaoyu looked at it carefully, and finally asked, "Who are you?"
"Miss Mu, I'm the one who delivered your takeout last time. Mr. Bai ordered meals for you for several days, and I've been delivering your meals three times a day for the past few days."
The other party had delivered something to Mu Xiaoyu once before, and Mu Xiaoyu had also verified with Bai Ye afterward that the other party's identity was clear to her, so Mu Xiaoyu opened the door without any hesitation.
She didn't want to be dramatic right now; the main problem was that she was really hungry, and given her current condition, going out to eat was simply out of the question.
Besides, Bai Ye had already ordered for her. Although she didn't want to owe Bai Ye a favor, there was nothing she could do in the current situation.
Bai Ye ordered a very generous takeout meal. It was only breakfast time, and there were three or four exquisite lunch boxes. Judging from Mu Xiaoyu's small appetite, she probably wouldn't be able to finish even half of them.
She took the takeout box and said to the delivery guy, "Next time, please don't send too much food in each order, I can't finish it."
"Alright, then I wish you a pleasant meal, Miss Mu."
After the delivery guy finished speaking with a smile, he left. Mu Xiaoyu took the takeout to the restaurant and sat down. She then sent Bai Ye a text message to express her gratitude before starting to eat with peace of mind.
Now that Mu Xiaoyu was alone in the villa, she didn't care what she did or what the rules were. So, while eating breakfast, Mu Xiaoyu started watching the news.
However, as soon as I opened the news page, the first thing I saw was an intimate photo of Li Chenxu and Bai Luo...
Mu Xiaoyu almost threw her phone away. Was this news outlet deliberately trying to cause trouble for her because they didn't like her?
Suppressing her anger, Mu Xiaoyu still clicked on the news article with photos of Bai Luo and Li Chenxu.
'Li Chenxu, the heir of the Li family, returns home for love and rejoins the Li family.'
The article details how Bai Luo was liked by Li Chenxu, and claims that Li Chenxu and Mu Xiaoyu were not a good match in the first place, regardless of their family background or personality traits. The article focuses entirely on how well Bai Luo and Li Chenxu are a good match, and that Li Chenxu was able to return to the Li family because of Bai Luo and Li Chenxu's relationship. It also says that Bai Luo is Li Chenxu's lucky charm.
Mu Xiaoyu thought she might really be sick. She knew this news was definitely not good news for her, but she still had to read it. Now, seeing these news reports that were blatantly sarcastic, she was so angry that her lungs felt like they were going to explode!
Mu Xiaoyu took a careful look at the company that reported the news and the writer, and then made a deep impression on them. Mu Xiaoyu was not a generous person. How dare these people talk about her like that? When she had the chance, she would definitely teach them a lesson and let them learn a lesson!
As if channeling her grief into appetite, Mu Xiaoyu unexpectedly finished all the breakfast she thought she wouldn't be able to finish. After eating, she felt much more energetic and began to plan her future.
She had already decided that regardless of whether Bai Luo and Li Chenxu's story was true or not, she would still help Li Chenxu as a way of repaying the kindness he had shown her in the past. Once this matter was over, they would truly be even.
So at that time she planned to start with Bai Ye, but now that Bai Ye is like this, Mu Xiaoyu has given up on him.
They had previously returned to their mother's old home to find clues left by Mu Pengzheng, hoping to discover who Lei Chao's descendants were. Judging from what Li Chenxu had said earlier, it was clear he already knew who the other party was; otherwise, Li Chenxu wouldn't be so relaxed now.
But who exactly is this person?
Mu Xiaoyu racked her brains, trying to recall Li Chenxu's movements over the past few days, but she couldn't recall him having any contact with anyone else. Either Li Chenxu hadn't let her know, or Lei Chao's son was among their acquaintances!
The moment the thought crossed Mu Xiaoyu's mind, she was startled by herself.
While the latter may seem unbelievable, it is not impossible.
The thought of this possibility immediately made Mu Xiaoyu's expression turn serious.
If that's really the case, what should she do now?
Mu Xiaoyu hasn't come up with any good solutions yet, but it would be foolish to just sit around waiting to die, like a fly sitting on the doorstep of the villa.
So after breakfast, Mu Xiaoyu began her investigation.
According to what Grandpa Li said at the time, Lei Chao's son should be about the same age as Li Chenxu and Bai Ye. If the other party is indeed someone that Li Chenxu and the others know and who has connections with the government, then there are only a few such people.
What Mu Xiaoyu needs to do now is to list out those who are slightly suspicious and then find a way to investigate their backgrounds.
