Chapter 391 Quarrel
When Mu Xiaoyu and the others returned to the ski resort, although it was only six o'clock, the sky outside was already completely dark. The weather hadn't been very good these past few days; after nightfall, there were no bright stars, only a dark and gloomy sky, which made people feel inexplicably depressed.
Because of the Lunar New Year, the ski resort was much less crowded after nightfall. When Mu Xiaoyu and Li Chenxu entered the ski resort, they immediately spotted Song Yin and Bai Luo. However, it seemed that something had happened between the two of them; from a distance, neither of them looked too happy.
Bai Luo and Song Yin were still wearing their ski clothes, standing face to face. Song Yin was talking to Bai Luo, her expression serious and somewhat angry, though this seemed to be the result of her trying her best to restrain herself.
If they weren't in a public place, given Song Yin's fiery temper, if Bai Luo had done something to really anger her, she might have started swearing at him.
Seeing Song Yin and Bai Luo like this, a bad premonition immediately washed over Mu Xiaoyu. Without thinking twice, she rushed towards Song Yin and Bai Luo.
"Bai Luo, don't say that just because you didn't know about this, it has nothing to do with you. You need to know..."
Song Yin stopped mid-sentence, and seeing Mu Xiaoyu suddenly appear, she immediately swallowed the rest of her words and turned to ask Mu Xiaoyu, "Why did you suddenly come here?"
"It's getting late. I'm asking you to go back for dinner. The food here in the scenic area isn't very good. What's wrong between you and... Luo Luo? What were you talking about just now? You two seem a bit off?"
"It's nothing, we just had a little disagreement about something, it's nothing serious." Song Yin said, putting her arm around Mu Xiaoyu's shoulder, clearly unwilling to talk about the matter any further.
Mu Xiaoyu wasn't stupid enough to not see it, but she could tell that Song Yin wasn't willing to say more. Since that was the case, she didn't press the matter further.
Even so, Mu Xiaoyu subconsciously glanced in Bai Luo's direction, but the other woman wasn't looking at her. However, she seemed to sense Mu Xiaoyu's gaze, looked up at Mu Xiaoyu, and gave her a faint smile, as if to reassure her.
There was nothing wrong with Bai Luo's behavior, but Mu Xiaoyu still saw a fleeting sadness in her eyes.
Mu Xiaoyu felt sorry for Bai Luo because of this, but it was precisely because of this that she became even more certain that something had happened between Bai Luo and Song Yin.
Could it be that Song Yin found out about the Bai family's affair while she was away?
The idea had barely crossed her mind when Mu Xiaoyu immediately rejected it.
Impossible. She hasn't told anyone else about this. After all, this is so important. The more people who know, the more danger they will face. Li Chenxu is such a cautious person, there's absolutely no way he would tell anyone about this.
But if it wasn't this, then what was it?
Mu Xiaoyu couldn't figure it out, but finally decided to ask Bai Luo and Song Yin again when she got back.
Unlike the cheerful atmosphere on the way there, the atmosphere in the car on the way back was noticeably more subdued. Mu Xiaoyu's mother was in poor health and had not fully recovered. After an afternoon of playing outside, she had already pushed her body to its limit, so she kept her eyes closed and rested the whole way.
But Bai Luo and Song Yin were different. Before they arrived, they were chatting and laughing, but now Song Yin turned her head to the side, clearly refusing to communicate with anyone.
Mu Xiaoyu was completely helpless against Song Yin. There were so many people on the bus, and she couldn't say anything. She could only look helplessly at Bai Luo.
Sensing Mu Xiaoyu's gaze, Bai Luo quickly turned her head away, not daring to look into Mu Xiaoyu's eyes.
Seeing the two of them like this left Mu Xiaoyu feeling utterly powerless. In the end, she didn't even bother to say anything more.
And so, the awkward atmosphere continued until the group returned to the villa.
Since they had all gone out to play today, the chef prepared dinner. Just as they returned home, the chef had all the food ready. As soon as they got home, they washed their hands and sat down at the table to eat.
This dinner was much more somber than before, and even Mu Xiaoyu's mother noticed.
"This squirrel-shaped mandarin fish is quite good today, everyone should try it."
Mu Xiaoyu's mother took the initiative to speak, breaking the tense atmosphere at the table. After all, she was an elder, and no matter what conflict had occurred between Bai Luo and Song Yin, they had to restrain themselves a bit in front of Mu Xiaoyu's mother at this moment.
Song Yin was an actress, so it wasn't difficult for her to deliberately hide her emotions. In just a few seconds, a smile appeared on her face. At the same time, she picked up a piece of squirrel-shaped mandarin fish and put it into Mu Xiaoyu's mother's bowl, saying with a smile, "If you like it, Auntie, have some more."
"You all eat more. These days, kids are always busy with work or dieting, and you rarely eat a full meal. Look how thin you are. Eat more, it's Chinese New Year after all."
As Mu Xiaoyu's mother spoke, she picked up a piece of fish for Song Yin, and then picked up some vegetables for Bai Luo and Li Chenxu.
With Mu Xiaoyu's mother taking the initiative to speak, the atmosphere improved considerably. Although the atmosphere between Bai Luo and Song Yin was still somewhat awkward, it was much better than when they first returned.
"Brother Shenxu, later you and Sister Song Yin can take my mother for a walk outside. I want to talk to Luo Luo alone."
While going to get more rice, Mu Xiaoyu lowered her voice and whispered to Li Chenxu.
Li Chenxu nodded, thought for a moment, and finally said, "I think Song Yin is like this because she knows about the Bai family."
"Impossible. How could Song Yin know about this? No one on our side would willingly tell anyone."
Mu Xiaoyu spoke with absolute certainty, but the recent twists and turns of events have made her somewhat uncertain at this moment.
“I trust all my trusted subordinates now, so they naturally wouldn’t tell anyone on their own. But what if… Bai Luo told Song Yin himself?”
The moment those words were spoken, Mu Xiaoyu fell silent. She hadn't considered this possibility before, but now, hearing Li Chenxu's words, she knew there was no truth to them.
Bai Luo is a very naive person, and it is precisely because of this naivety that she is not good at hiding things. Since she, Song Yin, and Bai Luo are good friends, given this situation, it is indeed possible that she might take the initiative to confess this matter to Song Yin.
