Chapter 704: A Second Visit
Seeing Li Chenxu's actions, Mu Xiaoyu was afraid that he would soften his heart. She secretly tugged at Li Chenxu's clothes and said coldly to Li's father, "Li Chenxu and I have been divorced for a long time. Strictly speaking, An'an is not your grandson. There are many people in your Li family. Didn't you look down on me before? If you really want a grandson, go find someone else. No matter how much money you offer, I will not let you see him."
She didn't bother to say anything more to Li's father and the others, and turned to leave after saying that.
Li Chenxu and his father remained standing at the door without moving. Since Mu Xiaoyu had refused so decisively, Li's father could only place his hopes on Li Chenxu.
He looked at Li Chenxu with anticipation, his aged eyes already glistening with tears.
Li Chenxu was indeed slightly moved, but only slightly.
From the moment Li's father tried to harm his own son, the father-son relationship had almost completely disappeared.
Now that Li's father has come in such a disheveled and dejected state, he doesn't believe that Li's father has truly repented.
Most likely, they have some other purpose.
Thinking of this, Li Chenxu returned the passbook to his father intact, saying, "Take the passbook back. I don't know where you got the information, but just pretend the child never happened, just pretend I don't exist as your son, and An'an doesn't exist as your grandson."
"Chen Xu! Are you really going to be so heartless! We are father and son, blood relatives who are connected by blood! How could you do this to me!"
"You treat me like this, and you don't even remember how you treated me back then. Now you turn around and question me. How can you have the nerve to do that?"
Li Chenxu was no pushover. He sneered at his father's tone and retorted without hesitation.
Father Li was instantly speechless, staring blankly at Li Chenxu. Just as Li Chenxu turned to go inside, Father Li suddenly flung his cane aside and knelt down in front of Li Chenxu!
The arrival of Li's father had already attracted some onlookers who were watching the spectacle.
Now that Li's father had knelt down, some people even let out quiet gasps of surprise.
"Shen Xu, please have pity on me and let me see the child for just one look, just one look."
Li's father now looks no different from a seventy or eighty-year-old, and yet he kneels before Li Chenxu like this. If this continues, regardless of who is right or wrong, it will ultimately only be detrimental to Li Chenxu.
Li Chenxu's expression darkened further. He stared intently at his father and said, word by word, "It's no use saying anything now. If you want to kneel, then kneel. Do you think I'm afraid?"
After saying that, he chuckled, turned around and went back to the ward, slamming the door shut.
Before coming, Li's father had prepared himself for Li Chenxu to refuse him, but he did not expect that Li Chenxu would refuse so decisively in front of so many people in the hospital.
People around him kept looking at Li's father, and he looked embarrassed. But in the end, he seemed to think of something and forced himself to endure it.
He remained kneeling on the ground, his back hunched over.
The onlookers sighed, but no one went forward to help Li's father up.
This isn't a public hospital that just anyone can come to; it's a very high-standard private hospital. The people who come here are all wealthy and influential, and they all know a little about the Li family's affairs.
Some people also know what kind of person Li's father is, and few people can feel any sympathy for such a person.
However, as time passed and people saw that Li's father was still kneeling there, some people's eyes changed.
Whispers were already circulating around them, some good and some bad. However, compared to the initial one-sided sentiment, some people had begun to side with Li's father.
"That Li Chenxu is too ruthless. No matter what, they are father and son. The grandfather can only look at his grandson once and does nothing else. He won't even let him look at him once."
"It was a bit harsh, but think about what he did before. It would be strange if Li Chenxu could forgive him. He's just worried about his own child. He's a grandfather, but who knows if he'll harm his own grandson?"
Similar sounds kept appearing around, intermittently reaching Li's father's ears.
It's unclear what he was feeling, but after kneeling outside the ward for a while, he picked up his crutches and stood up unsteadily.
He didn't linger outside the ward any longer and left immediately.
Don't think he won't show up again after this time; who knew he would reappear at this time the very next day.
Seeing Li's father pacing outside the door, Mu Xiaoyu's face turned as black as the bottom of a pot.
An'an is downstairs. Since Father Li knows they are in this hospital, he must know where An'an is now.
If he truly cared about An'an's existence, he would have tried every means to see her, instead of lingering in front of them and constantly attracting attention like this.
Even if Li Chenxu didn't tell her, she knew about what happened online last night.
The Li family has been making headlines for the past two years. Compared to other wealthy families, they are clearly more popular with netizens and naturally receive far more attention than other wealthy families.
The news that Mr. Li knelt down at the hospital last night, begging to see his grandson, had already spread like wildfire online. Although it was later suppressed, it has probably left many people with the impression that they are cold-blooded and ruthless.
Moreover, Mu Xiaoyu is now considered a minor celebrity, so the impact of Li's father's actions on her is considerable.
"Li Chenxu, how exactly do you want to resolve your father's matter?"
Seeing Li's father reminded Mu Xiaoyu of all the unpleasant things that happened in the Li family in the past. She had been a little nicer to Li Chenxu yesterday, but now she was back to square one.
Li Chenxu felt helpless, but he also knew that he hadn't handled the matter well.
“After yesterday, I thought he wouldn’t come again, so I just had someone keep an eye on him and didn’t do anything else. But since he came again today, I will definitely handle everything that needs to be handled.”
"Forget it, he hasn't done anything yet. Let's wait and see. There was already enough public opinion yesterday. If we act rashly now, we'll be the ones in trouble."
Mu Xiaoyu stopped Li Chenxu at the last minute. Although she was annoyed, she understood the situation. Since Li's father hadn't done anything yet, it was better to wait and see.
Li Chenxu now sides with Mu Xiaoyu in everything, so he naturally won't object to what she said. However, just in case, he still called a few more bodyguards to protect An'an and Mu Xiaoyu's safety.
