Chapter 405 Mu Xiaoyu's Request
"I will agree to all of these, but if you dare to do anything foolish, I will absolutely not agree to them."
After a long pause, Mu Xiaoyu spoke in a hoarse voice. She bit her lip tightly, looking at her mother with a determined gaze.
For any other matter, she would have agreed without hesitation. But this time, she couldn't.
From the moment Li Chenxu's attitude towards her became strange, to the words her mother uttered, Mu Xiaoyu's unease grew stronger and stronger.
To put it bluntly, she always felt that something bad was about to happen.
Looking at Mu Xiaoyu's stubborn expression, Mu Xiaoyu's mother couldn't help but sigh, but said nothing more. She knew that although Mu Xiaoyu spoke so firmly, when that day truly came, she would absolutely not stand idly by.
She had said everything she needed to say, and Mu Xiaoyu knew that, so she felt at ease.
Mu Xiaoyu's mother was too weak; she fell into a deep sleep shortly after taking the medicine. Mu Xiaoyu stayed by her mother's side the whole time, having long forgotten about the password.
How is Auntie?
Li Chenxu seemed to have gone to deal with other matters and only came over now. When he saw Mu Xiaoyu sitting next to her mother with a lost and dejected look, a look of heartache flashed in his eyes, but his expression remained indifferent.
Mu Xiaoyu glanced at Li Chenxu with a somewhat dazed look, her eyes filled with sadness. However, she only gave Li Chenxu that look before looking away: "I don't know. She's been unconscious ever since she said those things to me. What about you... what were you doing just now?"
“My men and I went to comfort the aunt’s relatives, asked them a few questions, and then came back.”
Li Chenxu's words made Miao Xuan feel a little better. At least what Li Chenxu was doing now was for their own good. His previous cold attitude towards her was probably just because he had something on his mind.
She couldn't help but grab Li Chenxu's hand and said, "Brother Chenxu, what do we do about the password now? My mother is like this, she simply can't continue. I'm worried that if we stay like this any longer, her body won't be able to take it."
"We've made progress on the password issue. We'll head back once they've finished packing. I've already contacted the doctors at the sanatorium, and they'll come to the villa as soon as we get back."
Li Chenxu is always thorough in his work, and he can arrange everything perfectly without Mu Xiaoyu having to say much.
Previously, Mu Xiaoyu was quite capable of taking care of herself, but now that Li Chenxu has spoiled her so much, Mu Xiaoyu doesn't even know what she would do if she were separated from Li Chenxu. So when her mother said things like she should separate from Li Chenxu, Mu Xiaoyu didn't take it to heart at all.
After all, in her opinion, there was no way she and Li Chenxu could ever be separated.
Before they left, Mu Xiaoyu went to see her mother's relatives.
They were actually related by blood, but because it was their first meeting, Mu Xiaoyu didn't feel the strong connection to that blood relationship.
The third sister didn't know about the relationship between Mu Xiaoyu and Mu Xiaoyu's mother. She only saw the two of them standing together, so she also started to dislike Mu Xiaoyu.
Seeing Mu Xiaoyu here, they immediately tried to drive her away without any politeness.
"What are you doing here? Are you still thinking of pleading for that woman?!"
"Third Aunt, I want to have a serious talk with you."
The moment the words "Third Aunt" were uttered, the third sister froze. She frowned and looked Mu Xiaoyu up and down, her expression growing increasingly grim as she gazed at the striking resemblance between mother and daughter.
"Are you her daughter?"
Mu Xiaoyu nodded, then glanced at her third sister and asked, "May I come in and talk?"
The third sister treated Mu Xiaoyu slightly better than she treated Mu Xiaoyu's mother. Hearing Mu Xiaoyu's words, she hesitated for a few seconds before letting her in.
The interior looked just as dilapidated as the exterior, but the only slight improvement was that it was very tidy, showing that the owner was someone who lived life with care.
Mu Xiaoyu looked around and finally looked at her third sister and said, "Third Aunt, I know that my mother did make a mistake back then. But you also know how good Mu Pengzheng is at hiding himself. I think if my mother and Mu Pengzheng hadn't gotten married smoothly, you probably wouldn't have thought that Mu Pengzheng would be such a vicious and ruthless person, right? More importantly, my mother has paid the price for her wrong decision over the decades that followed."
The third sister didn't say anything upon hearing this, but the expression on her face proved that Mu Xiaoyu had hit the nail on the head.
Seeing this, Mu Xiaoyu continued, "I came here not to ask for your forgiveness, but only to hope that you won't turn my mother away again. My mother... her condition is very bad right now, and we don't know how much longer she can hold on, so..."
"What's up with her?"
Third Sister and the others did indeed harbor resentment towards Mu Xiaoyu's mother, but the family's bond from the beginning was genuine. Now, upon hearing that Mu Xiaoyu's mother was in trouble, their expressions immediately turned tense.
Seeing her third sister's expression, Mu Xiaoyu secretly breathed a sigh of relief. They still cared about their mother. If that was the case, then everything would be easier to handle.
So Mu Xiaoyu stopped hiding it and told him everything about the abuse her mother suffered after marrying Mu Pengzheng, and how she almost got killed by Mu Pengzheng.
It's impossible to explain in just a few words what happened over the past ten or twenty years. Even though Mu Xiaoyu tried her best to use concise language to quickly recount what had happened over the years, it still took quite a bit of time.
By the time they finished speaking, almost an hour had passed.
But no matter how much time it took, the third sister and the others did not interrupt Mu Xiaoyu.
"That's roughly how it is. Over the years, both my mother and I have suffered enough punishment. Third Aunt, my mother and I don't expect your forgiveness, but considering that my mother has already been punished, and considering that you were once sisters, could you please not turn her away like before while she is still alive?"
Even if Mu Xiaoyu was unwilling to face it, she had to admit how bad her mother's condition was.
She didn't know how much time her mother had left, but she hoped that while her mother still had time, she could resolve the knots in her heart and that her mother could be happy during her final days.
