Chapter 669: It's Impossible to Let Go
Li Chenxu squinted as he looked at Chen Tong in front of him. Only Chen Tong herself probably knew how much courage she had mustered when she said those words.
Now that he had finished speaking, he began to tremble. He was so afraid of Li Chenxu that he didn't dare to look at Li Chenxu's face again.
Li Chenxu saw all of this. He was always good at reading people's expressions and emotions. How could he not see Chen Tong's fear of him and her current mood?
He was naturally angry when he heard what Chen Tong said. No matter how calm he appeared on the surface, a storm raged within him. Sometimes, it's the ordinary, even bland, statements that truly infuriate, rather than vulgar insults.
Even though Li Chenxu was very angry, he knew very well that what Chen Tong said was true.
He and Li Chenxu had been together for several years, and he had told Mu Xiaoyu that he would treat her well, and he had said it more than once over the years.
He gave Mu Xiaoyu a lot of money and also gave her many gifts.
But thinking about it carefully, were the things he gave Mu Xiaoyu things she liked or cared about?
No, it's not.
Li Chenxu knew very well that Mu Xiaoyu was different from other women.
The biggest difference between her and these women was that she never cared about power or money. What she wanted was very simple: someone who liked her and a stable life.
But even with these simple things, he still didn't give them to her.
Li Chenxu's life is far too complicated; he possesses far too much power and status. It would be extremely difficult for him to easily let go of everything.
Just like when Xu Sulin offered the Li family's shares to him in a deal, although he did have concerns about Mu Xiaoyu, he ultimately agreed to Xu Sulin's request.
If it weren't for that one wrong decision back then, none of this would have happened.
Ultimately, it wasn't that he didn't love her enough; it was just that her love for him wasn't as pure as he imagined.
It's perfectly normal for Mu Xiaoyu to be angry, furious, disappointed, or even to stop liking him.
After all, if it were him, he probably wouldn't have fallen for someone like that either.
Li Chenxu couldn't help but laugh, his laughter filled with self-mockery and bitterness.
Ever since Chen Tong said those words, she had been feeling uneasy, fearing that this person would just kill her.
Even though she was scared, she didn't regret saying those words.
From the moment Chen Tong first saw Li Chenxu and learned about the affair between Mu Xiaoyu and Li Chenxu, this has always been Chen Tong's thought.
In his opinion, he always felt that Li Chenxu was not good enough for Mu Xiaoyu.
If Li Chenxu gets angry about this and tries to get back at her, then she's just unlucky.
But if her words could change Li Chenxu's mind, and Mu Xiaoyu and Li Chenxu could live happily ever after without such conflicts, that would be the best outcome.
Anyway, what's said is said, so it's no use what she thinks now.
However, just as this thought crossed Chen Tong's mind, she heard Li Chenxu's laughter.
It was a dark and windy night, and such upscale residences were rarely visited at night, making them much quieter than ordinary residential areas.
When Li Chenxu let out such laughter, Chen Tong felt a chill run down her spine.
"Chen Tong, you're really bold. But... you're right, I am indeed that kind of person. Actually, I should have let her go. Someone as good as her, countless people like her. Apart from my power and status, I might not have anyone else who is as pure and good to her as anyone else. She deserves the best."
Chen Tong breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing Li Chenxu's words. It was good that Li Chenxu had given up. Even if Mu Xiaoyu was heartbroken for a while, time would heal all wounds, and she would get better one day. Leaving Li Chenxu would give her a better new life.
However, before he could fully relax, he suddenly tensed up again upon hearing what Li Chenxu said next.
“If I were a generous person, perhaps I would have done so. Unfortunately, I, Li Chenxu, have always been a selfish person. What I like and love must be firmly held in my own hands. I have liked her for so many years, and we have survived great disasters. How could I possibly let go at this time?”
Li Chenxu's expression was indifferent, but the stubbornness in his tone was something even the dull-witted Chen Tong could hear.
Chen Tong felt like she was about to be driven crazy by Li Chenxu. After all, she had lived in the entertainment industry for so many years and had seen all kinds of people. But she had never met anyone as obsessive and terrifying as Li Chenxu.
Unable to discern Li Chenxu's thoughts, she didn't know what to say and could only anxiously wait for him to continue.
"So Chen Tong, do you know what your role is in staying by Xiao Yu's side now?"
"do not know."
Chen Tong replied that she genuinely didn't know. She considered herself a smart person at times, but compared to someone like Li Chenxu, she was worlds apart.
“From now on, I will provide you with some information. You need to find a way to tell Xiaoyu about it discreetly. At the same time, keep an eye on Xiaoyu's movements and don't give her any opportunity to have contact with other men. More importantly, once she calms down, you must mention me to her from time to time. Don't let her forget me, understand?”
Mu Xiaoyu understood what Li Chenxu meant, but she still didn't understand why he did it this way. In her opinion, others could do the things Li Chenxu wanted her to do, so why did he specifically choose her?
More importantly, the implication behind Li Chenxu's words was that he was about to leave.
But Li Chenxu just said those things, how could he possibly leave?
Chen Tong was filled with doubts, her heart pounding like a cat scratching at her, wanting to get to the bottom of things. But looking at Li Chenxu's cold and somewhat frightening face, she couldn't bring herself to ask the questions, and in the end, she could only nod stammeringly.
"Okay, I will do as Mr. Li instructs. But when will I receive the information Mr. Li mentioned?"
"No rush. I'll have someone give it to you when the time is right."
After saying this, Li Chenxu gave Chen Tong a deep look, then got into his car and left.
The driver was Li Chenxu's chauffeur, who picked him up and dropped him off every day, and even sometimes picked up and dropped off Mu Xiaoyu. He knew more about the relationship between Li Chenxu and Mu Xiaoyu than Assistant Lin did, so he understood Li Chenxu's feelings at this moment even better.
