Chapter 176 Come back for dinner
He didn't say much, but stood up and glanced at the gifts that Grandpa Li and the others had already packed away. When Mu Xiaoyu gave these things to them, many of them didn't expect to have them returned, so they opened them and used them for several days.
No matter how well it is preserved, there will still be traces of use.
Grandpa Li seemed to know this too, and coughed lightly to cover his mouth, saying, "I know we've used all these things, so even if we wanted to return them later, it probably wouldn't be so easy. You can calculate how much these things cost and give some to Mu Xiaoyu. Anyway, he's staying with you now, so what he eats and uses is yours..."
Li Chenxu used almost all his strength to control his temper and prevent it from exploding. He glanced at Old Master Li with a sinister look, then looked at the other people in the room. Without saying anything, he instructed the servants to put the gifts Mu Xiaoyu had bought into the car, and then left without saying goodbye.
Old Master Li had originally intended to discuss Xu Sulin's matter with Li Chenxu, but upon seeing Li Chenxu's state, his chest heaved with anger. He pointed a trembling finger at Li Chenxu's retreating figure and shouted, "Stop right there! Do you even respect me as your father anymore?! You've defied me time and time again for a woman! Look at the state you've become!"
Upon hearing Old Master Li's words, Li Chenxu's steps faltered. Without turning around, he faced away from Old Master Li and the others, coldly saying, "Dad, I don't want to oppose you, but think about what you've done. Have I ever disobeyed you in other matters? In my whole life, all I've ever wanted is Xiaoyu. You can't even respect my beloved, so why should I listen to you..."
At this point, Li Chenxu suddenly paused, his voice even colder than before: "And Xu Sulin, I don't care what you're really thinking, but you'd better keep those thoughts to yourself. If you dare to do anything again, anything that hurts Xiaoyu, then..."
Li Chenxu didn't continue speaking, since it would be pointless for him to say anything more. After all, he had already begun to take action against the Xu family, but recently, due to various reasons, progress on that side had been slightly slower.
However, slow doesn't mean doing nothing. If Xu Sulin doesn't behave himself, he wouldn't mind taking action against the Xu family sooner rather than later.
After saying this, Li Chenxu didn't give anyone in the room time to react and left the residence. From the time he arrived until his departure, only half an hour had passed.
In the past, when Mu Xiaoyu and I came back, we would stay for a while longer, but now, whenever Li Chenxu comes back, the time we spend at home only gets shorter and shorter.
It was the Li family who forcefully pushed Li Chenxu away...
The servants at the Li family mansion loaded all the gifts Mu Xiaoyu had sent onto the car. They were all exquisite gifts and didn't take up much space. It would have been easy to dispose of them discreetly, but Li Chenxu felt a surge of irritation when he thought about Mu Xiaoyu's reaction after learning the news.
He remembered clearly that when he returned to China that day, he gave these gifts to his family. Their slightly changed attitude towards Mu Xiaoyu made Mu Xiaoyu happy for a long time after returning home.
Only a few days have passed, and not only has their attitude suddenly changed, but they've even ruined Mu Xiaoyu's good intentions...
"Sir, shall we head straight back now?"
After getting into the car, Li Chenxu didn't say a word. The driver didn't know what Li Chenxu was thinking and didn't dare to make a move. After staring at him for a while without getting a word out, he cautiously asked.
Upon hearing the driver's voice, Li Chenxu looked up and saw a sinister glint in his deep eyes.
No one knew what he was thinking. After a long while, he said in a deep voice, "Let's go to Liang Yi's place first."
These gifts were all personally selected by Mu Xiaoyu. Even though the Li family members didn't care for them, he did. So he didn't want to destroy them, and to avoid upsetting Mu Xiaoyu, he decided to send them to Liang Yi for the time being.
The driver immediately understood what Li Chenxu meant, so he didn't say anything more and drove towards Liang Yi's direction.
At that time, Liang Yi was drinking with those young models outside when he suddenly received a call from Li Chenxu. He heard that Li Chenxu was going to deliver something, so he immediately abandoned those young models and went home to wait for Li Chenxu.
The main residence of the Li family is not far from where Liang Yi is currently living. Just as Liang Yi arrived home, Li Chenxu also arrived.
Liang Yi's face was beaming with smiles, having just emerged from a group of young models, his eyes and brows radiating obvious springtime joy. Seeing Li Chenxu get out of the car with a somber expression, he couldn't resist grabbing Li Chenxu's shoulder and teasingly asking, "Oh, what happened? You seem a bit down. Did you and Mu Xiaoyu have another fight?"
"No."
Li Chenxu glared at Liang Yi as a warning, then said to the driver, "Move those things to Liang Yi's house."
Upon hearing this, Liang Yi remembered that Li Chenxu had said he would send him something. So, disregarding Li Chenxu, he rushed to the trunk, only to find that besides a tea set, the rest of the items were all jewelry. More importantly, these items were clearly used.
Upon seeing this, Liang Yi's expression became indescribable.
He looked at Li Chenxu with some hesitation, and after a long while, he asked, "Chenxu, what... do you mean by this?"
"These are gifts that Xiaoyu bought for her family. They don't want me to take them back, so I'll leave them with you for now."
Li Chenxu didn't say much, but his words were concise and to the point, and Liang Yi immediately understood what was going on.
His already inscrutable expression became even more fascinating. While he felt a pang of sympathy, remembering his earlier anticipation, he couldn't help but pout, a jealous look on his face. "I thought you were going to give me a gift, but it turns out you came here to hide things. I've never seen you so thoughtful before. You really are different when it comes to your wife than your brothers… You're such a womanizer! Poor me, I just abandoned a bunch of young models to come all this way…"
