Chapter 252 Xu Sulin's Visit
Li Chenxu didn't speak. He was jealous even of women. He had felt this way before, but back then, he didn't have much confidence in their relationship, let alone Mu Xiaoyu. Even if he was jealous, he would suppress it.
However, things are different now. Now that the two of them have reached this point, even if they can't fully understand each other's place in each other's hearts, they know a little bit about it.
Li Chenxu now knows that Mu Xiaoyu likes him.
She was so jealous that she just said it out loud. Hearing this, she shamelessly continued, "So what if she's a woman? Men fight with women for men, let alone women."
Li Chenxu only said it casually, but Mu Xiaoyu's expression changed immediately when she heard it.
“Brother Shenxu, you seem to know a lot about this kind of thing. You even know this.”
Mu Xiaoyu's meaningful gaze made Li Chenxu realize what he had just said. He quickly coughed lightly to cover it up and said, "I found out by chance, I don't know the specifics."
In fact, Li Chenxu knew a lot about this. Ever since he learned that Mu Xiaoyu liked the comic book industry and started learning to draw, Li Chenxu had been researching it. Apart from lacking practical experience, he knew almost everything Mu Xiaoyu knew.
Naturally, they also had a clear understanding of that aspect.
Hearing Mu Xiaoyu say that, Li Chenxu immediately felt a little awkward.
Fortunately, he was good at hiding his feelings, so even though he felt awkward inside, he didn't show it on his face. He reached out and ruffled Mu Xiaoyu's hair a couple of times, then said in a deliberately serious tone, "You're such a grown-up, what are you thinking about all day long..."
Upon hearing this, Mu Xiaoyu glanced at Li Chenxu with dissatisfaction and muttered, "You were the one who said it first."
After saying that, Mu Xiaoyu seemed to want to say something more, but at that moment, the maid suddenly ran over and said to them in a low voice, "Sir and Madam, Miss Xu has arrived."
"What is she here for?"
Upon hearing that Xu Sulin had arrived, Mu Xiaoyu's expression immediately turned ugly.
The maid looked at Mu Xiaoyu with some difficulty and said in a low voice, "I don't know either, but judging from Miss Xu's appearance, she should also be here to attend the party."
After saying this, Mu Xiaoyu immediately looked up at Li Chenxu.
"I did not invite her over."
Li Chenxu saw through Mu Xiaoyu's thoughts and immediately shook his head in denial.
"Madam, shall we let Miss Xu in?"
The maid was a sensible person. She knew that Li Chenxu had always indulged Mu Xiaoyu in these matters. No matter what Mu Xiaoyu said, Li Chenxu would basically have no objection. So now she directly asked Mu Xiaoyu.
Upon hearing this, Mu Xiaoyu did not speak immediately. Her beautiful brows furrowed slightly, as if she was thinking about something.
"What happened? Why do you look so upset?"
Song Yin had been watching Mu Xiaoyu for a while. When she saw that Mu Xiaoyu's expression suddenly turned sour, she initially thought that Mu Xiaoyu and Li Chenxu had had some kind of conflict. But after watching for a while, she felt that it didn't seem to be the case.
Upon hearing this, Mu Xiaoyu glanced at Song Yin who was walking over and said with a hint of helplessness, "Xu Sulin is here. Do you think we should invite her in?"
Mu Xiaoyu and Song Yin had discussed Xu Sulin's situation before. Song Yin didn't know much about the Xu family, but Xu Sulin's past arrogance was well-known. A woman with Song Yin's personality would naturally not like Xu Sulin.
Upon hearing that Xu Sulin was coming, Song Yin snorted coldly and said with a half-smile, "Since she wants to come, then let her come. With so many of us, of course we should treat her well."
This behavior clearly indicates that they want to cause trouble for Xu Sulin.
Mu Xiaoyu suddenly felt a pang of sympathy for Xu Sulin. Why did she have to come at this time of year? Given Song Yin's temper, it would be strange if Song Yin didn't skin her alive if she showed up.
However, what happens to Xu Sulin has nothing to do with Mu Xiaoyu. Xu Sulin didn't have to come today at all; she insisted on coming. Even if something really happens to Xu Sulin, it's her own fault for bringing trouble upon herself.
So Mu Xiaoyu didn't hesitate any longer and had the maid call Xu Sulin in.
From the time the maid announced Xu Sulin's arrival until now, a little while has passed. Not a long time, but definitely not short either.
Given Xu Sulin's past personality, she would definitely have gotten angry and thrown a tantrum after waiting for so long. But this time, she didn't.
Xu Sulin was wearing a light-colored coat and had a faint smile on her face when she came in, as if she hadn't been affected at all by waiting outside for so long.
She walked directly to Mu Xiaoyu and Li Chenxu, and despite the hostile looks from Song Yin and the others, she remained composed.
"Long time no see, Miss Mu, and is this... Miss Song?"
Xu Sulin greeted them generously. She was actually very beautiful. In families like theirs, it was rare to find someone who wasn't good-looking. With her good looks and the money to dress up, she looked no less attractive than a celebrity.
Her current poised and elegant demeanor truly resembles that of a lady from a distinguished family.
Mu Xiaoyu had gotten used to Xu Sulin's behavior before, so she wasn't surprised to see him like this now. However, she did admire Xu Sulin a little, since his personality had changed so much in such a short time; he must have put in a lot of effort behind the scenes.
To be honest, she really underestimated Xu Sulin.
Thinking this, Mu Xiaoyu's gaze towards Xu Sulin suddenly changed. Seeing that Song Yin was about to speak, she quickly reached out and pulled her back.
At the same time, mimicking the smile on Xu Sulin's face, he chuckled softly at Xu Sulin and then suddenly moved closer to her.
Mu Xiaoyu's actions were very sudden. Xu Sulin was probably not expected to see this either. He was stunned for a moment and stood there, looking at Mu Xiaoyu with astonishment in his eyes.
"Miss Xu, aren't you afraid to come here alone so late?"
"Afraid? What am I afraid of? We're all acquaintances, what's there to be afraid of..."
The two were less than a finger's width apart. Although Mu Xiaoyu had a smile on her face, she gave off a sinister feeling. Xu Sulin had seen Mu Xiaoyu so many times, but this was the first time he had seen her like this. For some reason, he suddenly felt a little scared.
She subconsciously wanted to step back and create distance between herself and Mu Xiaoyu, but before she could actually do so, Mu Xiaoyu seemed to sense her movement and grabbed her.
"Miss Xu, why are you hiding? Are you scared?"
