Chapter 377 The Only Wish
Not long after Bai Luo left, Li Chenxu came in. Seeing Mu Xiaoyu standing there looking lost and dejected, he went over and pulled her into his arms, gently stroking her back with one hand: "What's wrong? Did Bai Luo tell you about what the Bai family did?"
When Bai Luo arrived and saw her strange expression, Li Chenxu had already guessed what was going on.
Seeing Mu Xiaoyu like this now, I am even more certain.
Mu Xiaoyu gave a soft "hmm" and rested her head against Li Chenxu's chest, saying in a muffled voice, "She told me everything the Bai family did before. If everything she said is true, then... she's actually a very pitiful person."
“Xiaoyu, actually, very few people from large families are born and grow up without worries. From childhood to adulthood, they enjoy a material life that ordinary people can't even dream of, as well as various privileges. On the surface, it seems easy, but in reality, everything comes at a price. And the price that Bai Luo has to pay may be just that.”
Li Chenxu was right, just like Li Chenxu himself. No matter how much Old Master Li had shown to care about Li Chenxu before, when faced with a situation like this, he could push Li Chenxu out without hesitation. He was willing to give up even his own flesh and blood.
Moreover, what about people like Bai Luo, whose parents died early and who are just granddaughters?
Mu Xiaoyu understood this principle, but while understanding the principle is one thing, it's impossible to remain completely unmoved.
She nestled in Li Chenxu's arms without saying another word, her mind preoccupied with how to handle the situation in a way that would satisfy both sides.
"Brother Chenxu, if we win in the end, what are you going to do with the Bai family?"
"Bai Luo is your friend. If we win, the government will deal with them. I won't do anything to them."
The Bai family abused their power to commit such illegal acts. Even if Li Chenxu hadn't taken action, they would definitely not have had a good ending.
The Bai family will definitely suffer then.
Mu Xiaoyu really didn't want to think about it; her mind was a complete mess and she felt extremely uncomfortable.
This year, it's going to be a bad year.
After all, it was the first time the whole family had spent the New Year together, and everyone, including Mu Xiaoyu, cared deeply about it. So the next day, the family, along with the villa's maid, decorated the villa.
The villa, which had looked deserted, became much more lively and finally had a bit of a festive atmosphere after being decorated with cheerful red decorations.
Perhaps because the day was busy, happy, and fulfilling, Mu Xiaoyu put Bai Luo's matter out of her mind.
The day before Chinese New Year, Mu Xiaoyu called Song Yin, wanting her to come over for the holiday. Song Yin had just returned, so they arranged a time.
On the day of the Lunar New Year, almost all the shops outside are closed, and almost everyone in the country is welcoming the new year.
In the past, the family's maids usually prepared the New Year's meals, but this time, Mu Xiaoyu, her mother, and even Li Chenxu were all involved.
Mu Xiaoyu's mother was alright, since she was the one who cooked at home before. As for Li Chenxu, he had also specially learned to cook for Mu Xiaoyu. And because he was smart, he learned everything quickly, and the dishes he made were quite presentable.
As for Mu Xiaoyu, she didn't do anything right, and she was even clumsy when helping Li Chenxu and the others.
Despite being perfectly intelligent, Mu Xiaoyu simply has absolutely no talent when it comes to cooking.
"Xiaoyu, why don't you go outside and watch TV or play for a while? There are too many people in the kitchen, and something might happen."
Mu Xiaoyu's mother couldn't bear to watch any longer. If Mu Xiaoyu stayed in the kitchen any longer, they didn't know when they would get to eat lunch today.
Li Chenxu, on the other hand, didn't say anything, and even looked at Mu Xiaoyu with a smile on his face and a doting expression.
She really had no choice; in order for everyone to have a hot meal on time at noon, she had to be the bad guy.
This time, however, Mu Xiaoyu didn't know what was going on. She suddenly became a little slow and didn't understand the implication of her mother's words at all. Hearing this, she looked at her mother with an innocent expression and said, "Mom, the kitchen is so big, how could anything happen? Besides, the security measures in the villa are very good, you don't need to worry."
Li Chenxu naturally knew what Mu Xiaoyu's mother meant by those words. It was so obvious, but Mu Xiaoyu just didn't understand. She was still explaining with a serious expression.
The two exchanged a glance, and seeing the helpless expression on Mu Xiaoyu's mother's face, Li Chenxu finally couldn't help but laugh.
He washed his hands and dried them, then pulled Mu Xiaoyu out of the kitchen and said, "I told you you're stupid, but you didn't believe me. Look at you in the kitchen, aren't you just making a mess? We had almost finished three dishes, but after you got involved, there was only one left to eat. If you stay in the kitchen any longer, we won't be able to have lunch."
At the time, Mu Xiaoyu thought cooking was really fun and was quite excited, so she didn't think much about it. Now, hearing Li Chenxu's words, she suddenly felt a little embarrassed.
Even she herself was a little frustrated, wondering why her cooking skills were so bad. Not only were they bad, but they were so bad that she could even ruin the dishes that had already been prepared.
If this were told to others, probably no one would believe it.
Mu Xiaoyu was speechless, but she didn't insist on staying in the kitchen any longer. She couldn't help but pout and said to Li Chenxu, "Okay, I know. I'm just not good at cooking right now, but who knows what will happen in the future. Never mind, I won't cause any more trouble today, I'm going to watch TV."
After saying that, Mu Xiaoyu left quickly without waiting for Li Chenxu to speak.
She didn't want to listen to Li Chenxu. Although Li Chenxu wasn't saying anything, he must have been laughing at her to death in his heart. She didn't want to go looking for trouble.
Mu Xiaoyu's childish behavior made Li Chenxu's smile even brighter. He didn't know what the future held, so he cherished every moment of Mu Xiaoyu's happiness and hoped that Mu Xiaoyu would be as happy as she was now every day.
His greatest wish was not to achieve fame and success. Perhaps outsiders wouldn't believe it, but only Li Chenxu himself knew that his only wish was for Mu Xiaoyu to be happy.
