Chapter 39 Delivering Food
"It looks like the medicine is taking effect."
Seeing Lin Xia's suddenly unfocused eyes, Mu Xiaoyu stood up, walked around in front of Lin Xia, and then smiled at Li Chenxu.
It's fortunate that Lin Xia is too stupid; otherwise, if such a potent drug had been administered to Li Chenxu, regardless of whether he would have succeeded, the damage it would have caused to his body would certainly have been considerable.
Lin Xia, this woman, says she likes Li Chenxu, but she probably only covets his wealth and status.
Thinking of this, Mu Xiaoyu's gaze toward Lin Xia grew even colder.
When facing Mu Xiaoyu, Li Chenxu's cold expression softened considerably. He took Mu Xiaoyu's hand and brought her to his side, then looked at the man beside Lin Xia: "Take her away now, according to the previous plan."
Upon hearing this, the man immediately agreed and, without any hesitation, hoisted Lin Xia up and carried her out.
"Send me a copy of the recording you mentioned today via email later. You can enjoy the show tomorrow..."
Mu Xiaoyu didn't know what Li Chenxu wanted to do by recording the conversation, but she figured that Lin Xia's actions this time had not only completely enraged her, but also Li Chenxu. This time, Li Chenxu would definitely not give Lin Xia any way out, so she didn't ask any more questions and sent the recording to Li Chenxu.
In order to surprise Mu Xiaoyu, Li Chenxu did not tell Mu Xiaoyu about his plan.
So when Mu Xiaoyu saw the news about Lin Xia on TV the next day, she was so surprised that she could hardly speak.
Li Chenxu clearly used his subordinates' resources; this time, the video about Lin Xia that appeared in the entertainment news was much more explicit than before.
The image above shows Lin Xia naked and entangled with another man. Although it's blurred, it's clear enough that the person in the image is Lin Xia. Furthermore, the recording that Mu Xiaoyu sent to Li Chenxu last night has also been edited and released.
At this moment, the news headline "Popular young actress drugged and seduced married man" almost filled Mu Xiaoyu's entire eye socket.
Seeing this, Mu Xiaoyu's heart was filled with a tidal wave of emotions. She now understood just how ruthless Li Chenxu could be when he wanted to eliminate someone. He didn't use any violence; rather, he ruthlessly destroyed someone's reputation, leaving it never to be restored—that was the most ruthless thing imaginable.
This time, Lin Xia has not only ruined herself, but the Lin family business will likely be greatly affected. She probably won't have any chance to make a comeback in the future.
"This woman deserves it. She had no good intentions and wanted to harm others, but she ended up getting herself into trouble. So, she'd better behave herself."
Yesterday, Lin Xia was pointing fingers at the servants in the villa. The people in the villa had long disliked her, and now that they saw news about Lin Xia, they were very happy and couldn't help but say a few words.
Mu Xiaoyu was in a great mood today, so she didn't say anything when she heard this, letting the maids scold Lin Xia.
"By the way, Auntie, you don't need to make my lunch today. I'll make it myself and also make some for Chen Xu to take over."
Despite being married to Li Chenxu for so long, Mu Xiaoyu has never cooked for him, nor has she ever taken the initiative to visit him.
Now that the relationship between the two has begun to ease and she has developed feelings for Li Chenxu, there is no need for her to just enjoy Li Chenxu's kindness without doing anything in return.
Feelings are reciprocal; you can't always just enjoy what others give.
Upon hearing Mu Xiaoyu's words, the auntie's face lit up with joy, and she quickly replied, "Whatever Madam wants to make for Master, I'll go prepare the ingredients right away. If we make it now, it should be able to be delivered before Master's lunch."
Upon hearing this, Mu Xiaoyu stroked her chin, frowned, and thought for a moment, but couldn't think of any suitable dishes. Before, she was only focused on arguing and divorcing Li Chenxu, and knew nothing about what he liked. Thinking back to all the things Li Chenxu had bought for her before, including the food, everything was something she liked…
The more Mu Xiaoyu thought about it, the more guilty she felt. She covered her mouth and coughed lightly, pretending to be calm as she said to the aunt, "Just prepare two or three kinds of food that he likes to eat."
The housekeeper had been with Li Chenxu for so many years, so she naturally knew his preferences. Therefore, upon hearing Mu Xiaoyu's words, she readily agreed and happily went to prepare the ingredients.
They had all been with the Li family for many years and had watched Li Chenxu and Mu Xiaoyu's relationship gradually improve. Now that they saw Mu Xiaoyu was finally willing to make sacrifices for Li Chenxu, they were naturally happy.
Finally, Mu Xiaoyu made three dishes: steamed oysters with garlic, fried whitebait with eggs, and chicken wing stew.
In fact, Mu Xiaoyu had almost never been in the kitchen before. Since marrying Li Chenxu, although the two had been arguing constantly, she was never allowed to do things like this. Mu Xiaoyu herself had almost never done it at home before.
These three dishes were learned on the spot. Fortunately, Mu Xiaoyu seems to have some talent in cooking. Although the dishes she made were not particularly delicious, they were at least not bad.
Fearing that delaying would affect the taste of the food, Mu Xiaoyu quickly packed the food and headed to Li Chenxu's company with the lunchbox.
Mu Xiaoyu had never been to Li Chenxu's company before, but she could easily find the address by searching on Baidu. She arrived at the company at 11:30 a.m., close to Li Chenxu's lunch break.
Mu Xiaoyu didn't tell Li Chenxu when she arrived, afraid that she would miss him if it was late, so when she got to the company, she rushed to the front desk.
"Excuse me, which floor is Li Chenxu's office on?"
"What do you want with President Li?"
The receptionists at Li's were four fairly good-looking girls, probably in their early twenties. When Mu Xiaoyu mentioned Li Chenxu, their gazes immediately turned contemptuous.
“I’m his wife, I bring him meals.”
"Delivering food? Lots of people deliver food to our CEO Li. Who would believe you're Mrs. Li? Besides, CEO Li and his wife have never had a good relationship. Even if it really was Mrs. Li delivering food, I doubt he would eat it."
The one who spoke was the receptionist in the middle. This girl clearly had other thoughts about Li Chenxu. With just a few words, she completely crushed Mu Xiaoyu, not giving Mu Xiaoyu a chance to go upstairs at all.
Mu Xiaoyu isn't some young girl; she's met countless people and heard countless sarcastic remarks. She doesn't even consider these receptionists a threat.
"Whether Li Chenxu eats or not is not up to you lowly receptionists to decide. Since you won't tell him which floor he's on, fine, I'll find him myself. But let me make it clear to you, once you find Li Chenxu, you won't have an easy time either!"
