Chapter 143 Lots of Love
Now that she suspected that the mastermind behind this was likely the murderer who killed her in her past life, Mu Xiaoyu could not simply let it go.
She looked up at Li Chenxu, who was standing in front of her with a serious expression, bit her lip, and finally said, "Brother Chenxu, I want to investigate this matter with you and find out who is behind it. Otherwise... I won't feel at ease."
Mu Xiaoyu didn't ask Li Chenxu why he wanted to marry her. They had only met once and got married not long after. She really didn't believe in love at first sight. There must be something she didn't know about it.
Now that Li Chenxu hasn't told her the truth, she doesn't ask. She believes there must be some reason why he can't tell her. She has already been through a life-or-death experience with Li Chenxu, and she trusts him.
However, she wouldn't dwell on that matter; finding the mastermind behind it all was something she was determined to do. She didn't want to repeat the mistakes of her past life. She had already suffered enough in her previous existence; in this life, she didn't want her happiness with Li Chenxu to be shattered by anyone else…
Li Chenxu didn't speak; Mu Xiaoyu's insistence surprised him somewhat. He silently looked at Mu Xiaoyu for a while before slowly nodding.
Li Chenxu didn't intentionally want to hide the past from Mu Xiaoyu; he was simply telling her now because the time wasn't right. Judging from the current situation, finding the mastermind behind everything in the short term wouldn't be easy. Until then, he would tell her everything, letting her know the whole truth…
Ever since the awards ceremony that day, Li Chenxu had been sending people to stake out the neighborhood of the thugs' house, hoping to catch any clues or find any useful leads when they brought the old man back.
Unfortunately, the other party was far more cautious than Li Yitong and Jing Li had anticipated.
"You mean the old lady walked back by herself in the end?"
Jing Li told Mu Xiaoyu about the progress of the past few days, but to call it progress was a stretch; there hadn't been any progress at all. From the time Li Chenxu became an adult until he entered society, he had almost never failed in anything he did.
Even if they can't immediately find the mastermind behind it all, they should at least have some clues. But right now, they have almost no leads.
Seeing Li Chenxu nod, Mu Xiaoyu's heart sank even further. She didn't speak again, but frowned and thought about something. After a while, she looked at Li Chenxu and asked seriously, "Brother Chenxu, have you sent anyone to investigate Wu Qianru and Lin Xia?"
Currently, Mu Xiaoyu only has grudges against these two: Chen Lan and Chen Hao. Mu Xiaoyu isn't worried about Chen Lan and Chen Hao; the siblings are currently in prison for different crimes and won't be out anytime soon. Furthermore, they have no connections or background, so they can't cause any trouble.
Therefore, for now, Mu Xiaoyu can only suspect Wu Qianru and Lin Xia.
To everyone's surprise, upon hearing Mu Xiaoyu's words, Li Chenxu frowned and shook his head. He was an intelligent man; what Mu Xiaoyu could think of, he certainly could too. On the very day the incident occurred, he had already ordered an investigation into Lin Xia and Wu Qianru.
Perhaps because they were taught a harsh lesson before, Wu Qianru and Lin Xia are at least behaving themselves now.
Looking at Mu Xiaoyu's worried face, Li Chenxu felt a pang of heartache. He reached out and gently smoothed the wrinkles between Mu Xiaoyu's brows, saying with a touch of tenderness, "Don't think so much. My people are investigating, and they'll let you know as soon as they have any leads. We don't have many leads right now, and thinking too much will only add to your worries. It's better to take it one step at a time."
Mu Xiaoyu wasn't a stubborn person; she knew Li Chenxu was right, and having lived a second life, her mindset was much calmer. Hearing Li Chenxu say this, she nodded, said nothing more, and simply stepped forward to hug him.
She buried her head in Li Chenxu's chest and rubbed against him gently a couple of times, then stopped when she seemed to feel his burning body temperature.
No matter how dark the outside world is, fortunately she still has Li Chenxu.
The luckiest thing in her life was that day she mustered up the courage to talk to Li Chenxu. If it weren't for that, she probably wouldn't have known how good this man was to her, and she probably wouldn't be as happy as she is now...
Time flew by, and soon it was time for Mu Xiaoyu's book signing event. Because of the previous incident, Mu Xiaoyu offered to compensate her fans by spending some of her own money to make some small merchandise, which she would give away for free to the fans in attendance.
The news had already spread online beforehand. After learning about it, Mu Xiaoyu's fans kept cheering for her, and most of the comments were in support of her, praising her high emotional intelligence.
They are just as popular as any celebrity's fans.
At this moment, Mu Xiaoyu was having her personal stylist do her hair for today's book signing while she looked at the comments from her book fans online.
'See that?! My Shi Ye is incredibly beautiful! A true embodiment of beauty inside and out!'
'The key is that she draws so well!'
'Yeah, yeah! Tenya-sensei is absolutely amazing! I'm totally rooting for Tenya-sensei!'
Mu Xiaoyu's pen name is Shiye. Now, under her Weibo posts, almost all the comments are praising her posts, and no one mentions the unexpected incident at the awards ceremony that day.
In the past, Mu Xiaoyu never paid attention to these things. She focused almost all her energy on those who hated her and treated her badly, thus ignoring all the wonderful things around her.
Now, seeing these comments, she realized that it wasn't just Li Chenxu, but many other people who cared about her and loved her.
So whether it's for herself, for Li Chenxu, or for her fans who love her, she must live well and do her best in everything!
Since it was just a book signing event, not a particularly formal occasion, Mu Xiaoyu simply had her stylist do a simple look, then changed into a more tailored suit before heading out.
It was quite hot today. Mu Xiaoyu had originally planned to wear a skirt, but Li Chenxu absolutely refused to let her. In the end, if Mu Xiaoyu hadn't given in early, she might have been pinned down on the bed by Li Chenxu again.
The thought of Li Chenxu brought an uncontrollable smile to Mu Xiaoyu's lips.
In matters of great importance, Li Chenxu is always a mature and reliable man, but in matters of the heart, he acts like a child.
The thought of the powerful, charismatic boss from outside the human realm being jealous in front of her made Mu Xiaoyu's heart feel as sweet as honey.
