Chapter 241 Yes, my dear wife
"So, we need to thoroughly investigate anyone around us who is a suspect."
Upon hearing this, Mu Xiaoyu immediately shook her head: "I thought so too before, but Brother Shenxu, think about it. Since we found out that Mu Pengzheng escaped from prison, a lot of people have appeared around us. Not to mention that Mu Pengzheng had been planning these things for a long time. There are just too many people around us. If we just investigate their backgrounds, how long will it take?"
When it came to Mu Pengzheng, Mu Xiaoyu was much more cautious than usual when thinking about it, but after she finished speaking, she found that Li Chenxu beside her had fallen silent.
Mu Xiaoyu subconsciously looked up, only to find her gaze meeting Li Chenxu's. He was staring intently at her, his dark eyes filled with admiration and appreciation.
Mu Xiaoyu rarely saw such a look in Li Chenxu's eyes. She was stunned for a second, and soon her fair face turned red.
Why are you looking at me like that?!
"What's wrong with me taking a few extra glances at my own wife?"
Li Chenxu's words were perfectly reasonable and not wrong. But every time he looked at her like that, Mu Xiaoyu always felt like she was in the beginning of a relationship. Even though they had been together for so long, her heart was still as sweet as honey.
However, Mu Xiaoyu didn't want Li Chenxu to see through her. Hearing this, she snorted arrogantly twice, glanced at Li Chenxu, and said, "You're always so glib. I'm talking to you about serious matters, so don't interrupt."
"I'm talking about something serious. My Xiaoyu is becoming more and more outstanding and beautiful. Now I feel like I can't get enough of looking at her every day."
Li Chenxu's words were too straightforward, and his undisguised praise made Mu Xiaoyu's face turn even redder.
Moreover, when Li Chenxu said this, his deep eyes were fixed on Mu Xiaoyu with seriousness, without any perfunctoriness. He was truly praising Mu Xiaoyu from the bottom of his heart.
Mu Xiaoyu was actually very happy, but for some reason, her eyes suddenly welled up with tears. She was just too happy that the person she liked could praise her so sincerely. No amount of praise from outsiders could compare to Li Chenxu's few words.
Mu Xiaoyu couldn't help but kiss Li Chenxu, and unconsciously laughed, "Since you've said so, then you can watch... But you can't do this in front of outsiders. We're both adults, and other people will definitely find it disgusting..."
"Yes, my dear wife."
Li Chenxu smiled and agreed, but then, as if that wasn't enough, he kissed Mu Xiaoyu's lips several more times before stopping.
Li Chenxu already had a plan in mind regarding Mu Pengzheng's matter, but he hadn't figured out the specifics yet, so he hadn't told Mu Xiaoyu about it for the time being. He would still do what he said before: investigate the people around him, but of course, he wouldn't conduct a large-scale investigation.
He only wanted to investigate those he suspected.
Mu Xiaoyu didn't tell Li Chenxu about the new contract with SQ. The boy wasn't originally in charge of signing the contract. A day later, the person in charge who had been in the car accident had recovered enough from his injuries, so the person in charge who came to discuss the contract the next day was the original person in charge.
This person wasn't a former employee of SQ. He's of mixed race, and according to people at SQ, he seems to be from the Ge family.
The other person was dressed in a formal black suit, wearing black-rimmed glasses, and had the hairstyle of a character from a 70s or 80s TV drama. If it weren't for the electronic devices on his body, Mu Xiaoyu would have even suspected that this person had traveled from the past.
"Mrs. Li? I'm Li Zhe, the manager in charge of signing contracts with SQ. Have you reviewed the contract? If there are no problems, how about we sign it now?"
The other party spoke in a seemingly gentle and polite manner, but in reality, there was a hint of force in their tone. Mu Xiaoyu had signed contracts with many people, but this was the first time she had encountered something like this.
After returning home last night, she spent several hours, with Bai Luo's help, to uncover the unfair terms and conditions, making thorough preparations in advance.
Upon hearing Li Zhe's words, Mu Xiaoyu's lips curled slightly, and she pushed the contract directly in front of Li Zhe: "Of course there's a problem. Mr. Li, take a good look at this contract you gave me. Is there something wrong with it?"
Upon hearing this, Li Zhe frowned slightly and reached out to take the contract. However, his hand was stopped by Mu Xiaoyu just as it touched the contract.
"Before that, I'd like to ask Mr. Li, is your boss, Mr. Liang, aware of the contract?"
Li Zhe's expression remained unchanged upon hearing this, but his eyes narrowed slightly as he looked at Mu Xiaoyu. The two exchanged a glance, and finally Li Zhe laughed. He withdrew his hand, looked sincerely at Mu Xiaoyu, and said, "Mrs. Li is joking. The gentleman is such a busy person, how would he know about such trivial matters?"
"So, Mr. Liang is unaware that his subordinates have been using unfair terms to deceive people?"
Mu Xiaoyu even had a smile on her lips when she spoke, but her aggressive demeanor was still quite imposing.
Li Zhe clearly hadn't expected Mu Xiaoyu to be so difficult to deal with, and his expression changed slightly.
"Mrs. Li, I don't quite understand what you're saying."
"Don't understand? Then take a good look at the contract. If you still don't understand, I don't mind talking to Mr. Liang in person."
This time, Mu Xiaoyu finally let go. After speaking, she leaned back slightly and looked at Li Zhe calmly.
This contract was prepared by Li Zhe's team. Since Li Zhe was in charge of signing the contract with Mu Xiaoyu, he should be very clear about its contents.
Mu Xiaoyu is not an innocent young girl; how could she not know this?
What she wants now is an explanation. Or, to find out whether Li Zhe and his group got the contract, or whether someone is manipulating everything behind the scenes.
Li Zhe lowered his eyes, picked up the contract, and looked at it. It was such a thick stack of contracts, and he spent almost ten minutes looking at it, as if he was really just looking at the contract carefully.
Mu Xiaoyu remained calm, even though she knew Li Zhe was doing it on purpose, she wasn't angry.
Only after watching Li Zhe slowly finish reading the last page of the contract did she leisurely finish speaking: "Well? I think since Mr. Li can sit in this position, he should be able to understand the contract, right? Moreover... I even had someone annotate the parts he didn't understand. I've made it so simple and clear. I think someone as smart as Mr. Li wouldn't not understand it."
