Mu Xiaoyu knew that Li Chenxu was not a patient person, and she was afraid that if her mother talked too much, Li Chenxu would become impatient.
So at that moment, I quickly stopped my mother from continuing, and pulled her to the kitchen.
Seeing this, Song Yin and Bai Luo also went to the kitchen to help.
As Li Chenxu watched their retreating figures, the corners of his lips unconsciously turned up slightly. But the next second, as if he had suddenly remembered something, his expression immediately turned serious again.
He spent the entire morning in his study dealing with Bai Ye's affairs.
They blindly trusted Bai Ye before, believing almost everything he said. Now that they think about it, they realize that Bai Ye probably told them a lot of false information.
During the Chinese New Year holiday, almost everyone at the company was on vacation. However, few of Li Chenxu's trusted confidants were on holiday. They were still investigating the previous events and organizing the evidence that Bai Ye had given them to check for any errors.
Fortunately, it seems that in order to gain the trust of Li Chenxu and Mu Xiaoyu, Bai Ye had given them almost all the information that was true, and there was no false information.
The only untrue thing is that Bai Ye has been intentionally or unintentionally misleading their investigation.
Before learning of Bai Ye's betrayal, both Mu Xiaoyu and Li Chenxu believed that Lei Chao's son was currently working in the government as a powerful official. Therefore, Li Chenxu and his team had been focusing their investigation there.
They investigated all the high-ranking and powerful people in the capital, especially focusing on several officials of similar age. However, in the end, the results of the investigation were not satisfactory.
None of the people Li Chenxu and his team investigated matched the identities. At first, Li Chenxu suspected that someone might be deliberately concealing the truth, so he spent some effort to have someone investigate further. However, the results were almost identical to the previous investigation.
At the time, Bai Ye assumed that the other party had too much power, which was why they hadn't found anything out. But now it seems that what they found out was actually true. Lei Chao's descendants might not be high-ranking government officials at all, but this only applies to civil officials and military officers and generals; Li Chenxu and his team hadn't investigated those.
If Li Chenxu had been in the Li family before, doing these things might have been much easier. However, now that he has left the Li family, and with Old Master Li having clearly made some arrangements with outsiders, many people simply cannot help. Now that Li Chenxu is alone and powerless, the investigation is naturally much more difficult than before.
Thinking about the current progress, Li Chenxu couldn't help but rub his temples wearily.
This matter must be resolved quickly, otherwise, the consequences will be dire...
Before Mu Xiaoyu and the others came down, Mu Xiaoyu's mother and the chef who had specially prepared the New Year's meal had almost finished preparing it, so the meal was served not long after everyone was there.
Last night, everyone stayed up for a long time to celebrate the New Year, and they were not only physically exhausted, but also very hungry. When the dishes were served, no one said much; everyone ate in silence.
Actually, during the Chinese New Year, besides gathering with relatives and friends for meals and fun, almost everyone goes out to have some fun. After all, there aren't many things to do at home.
So after lunch, Li Chenxu and his group packed up their things and went to visit the scenic area near the villa.
Mu Xiaoyu had lived in the villa for several years and had hardly ever observed the surroundings, let alone gone out to play. As for the others, they were all very busy with work, and since they lived far from Mu Xiaoyu's home, they naturally hadn't been here either.
The scenic area near the villa is a 5A scenic spot in Beijing, and it usually gets quite a few visitors. Today is the second day of the Lunar New Year, so there aren't many people yet. I estimate that the number of people will increase in another day or two.
Mu Xiaoyu hadn't gone out to play like this in a long time, and she really wanted to let loose and have some fun. However, she was a little afraid of going to crowded places. After all, such places would be perfect if someone wanted to harm them.
Because it was a family outing with friends, Li Chenxu was driving, and Mu Xiaoyu was sitting in the passenger seat. Li Chenxu caught a glimpse of the worry in Mu Xiaoyu's eyes and immediately knew what she was thinking.
Seeing that there were no cars around, he didn't look at Mu Xiaoyu, but simply took her hand and said in a voice that only the two of them could hear, "Don't worry, having too many people in this kind of place isn't necessarily a bad thing. After all, with so many people, whatever you do will be exposed to everyone else. People of their status aren't that stupid."
Looking back on the dangerous things that Li Chenxu and Mu Xiaoyu had experienced, they were mostly in places with few people, and it seemed that they had never been in places with many people.
Mu Xiaoyu found Li Chenxu's words to be somewhat reasonable, so she stopped thinking about it.
It only took about ten minutes to drive from the villa to the scenic area. Li Chenxu had someone buy tickets in advance, and after arriving, the group went straight in through the ticket gate.
The scenic area is a relatively pristine small snow mountain with a ski resort. Even in summer, many people come here to enjoy the scenery.
Mu Xiaoyu had never skied before and didn't know how at all. Song Yin and Bai Luo, on the other hand, had skied a few times, so they didn't need anyone else to teach them and could ski very freely.
"No, this slide is too high, I'm scared, I'm not going, I'll just wait for you guys here."
Mu Xiaoyu was willing to try skiing. She originally thought the snow mountain wasn't very big, and even the ski resort couldn't be too large. But when she arrived at the ski resort, she found that it was much bigger than she had imagined. More importantly, the ski resort was also very high. Mu Xiaoyu was already a little afraid of heights, and seeing this, she was even less willing to ski.
Bai Luo and Song Yin exchanged a glance upon hearing this, and finally said, "Then forget it, we'll go with you. Anyway, there's more to do than just skiing here. Look, Auntie is chatting and drinking tea with other old ladies over there, we can do it too."
Hearing this, Mu Xiaoyu chuckled: "Alright, you guys can do what you want. You're not outsiders. Besides, my mom plays like that because she's an old lady. Are you all old ladies too?"
