Chapter 368 Something Happened
"What do you mean by that? I've never heard of having to specify someone to pick up something like that!"
Mu Xiaoyu's tone was rather unpleasant. Knowing about Bai Ye's situation had left her feeling confused and disoriented. Upon hearing that things would be so complicated and that she would have to ask her mother to come over, Mu Xiaoyu's expression immediately turned grim.
Li Chenxu, on the other hand, remained calm and composed. Seeing Mu Xiaoyu's agitated state, he reached out and held Mu Xiaoyu's hand, silently soothing her emotions while asking the bank staff, "What exactly did Mr. Mu say back then?"
The matter of Mu Pengzheng actually caused quite a stir back then. In addition, given the relationship between Mu Xiaoyu and Li Chenxu, even if the bank staff didn't know about Mu Pengzheng at the time, they do now.
Naturally, he had a much deeper impression of what Mu Pengzheng had said and done. Moreover, since the person asking the questions was Li Chenxu, the bank manager became even more cautious. Recalling what Mu Pengzheng had said when he came that day, he cautiously said to Li Chenxu after a few seconds, "Mr. Li, because of the urgency of the matter earlier, I didn't have time to explain many things to you first. Now, let me tell you..."
It turns out that when Mu Pengzheng came here and deposited the things at the bank, he also said that in addition to Mu Xiaoyu's mother, Mu Xiaoyu and Li Chenxu were also needed to come and retrieve them.
Perhaps Mu Pengzheng had long anticipated this day, so according to the bank manager, he had sent the item to the bank a long time ago.
Although he didn't tell the bank manager what was inside or what was going on, Mu Peng was cautious to this extent. Moreover, he had warned the bank manager before, and they were both people who had seen a lot.
When Mu Pengzheng was in his class, the bank manager naturally understood the seriousness of the matter. Therefore, before Li Chenxu and Mu Xiaoyu arrived here, no one knew what Mu Pengzheng had kept in this bank.
Mu Xiaoyu and Li Chenxu felt a sudden heaviness in their hearts after hearing this. It seemed that when Li Chenxu placed the things here, they all still believed that all the trouble was caused by Mu Pengzheng, and never suspected anyone else.
But now it seems that the truth is far more complicated than they imagined.
Mu Xiaoyu suddenly felt a little tired. She had never experienced any particular hatred; the greatest hatred she felt was that someone had pushed her off a building and killed her in her previous life. But she had been reborn, and although this life was much more troublesome and complicated than the previous one, it was also happier.
That bit of hatred is utterly insignificant compared to the happiness and joy we have now.
Therefore, Mu Xiaoyu simply couldn't understand why Lei Chao's son was so obsessed with revenge. Moreover, Li Chenxu was originally innocent.
Mu Xiaoyu subconsciously looked at Li Chenxu. Although Li Chenxu said he didn't care about what Old Master Li had done, Mu Xiaoyu always felt that Li Chenxu's heart was not as indifferent as he seemed on the surface.
She felt heartbroken, yet powerless to help.
Never before had Mu Xiaoyu so longed to become a man. That way, perhaps when Li Chenxu was tired, he could lean on her shoulder, and perhaps she would be much better than she is now, at least able to help Li Chenxu a little, instead of him having to do everything himself.
“Brother Chenxu, let’s go find my mother now, tell her about this, and ask her to come and get the things together.”
Mu Xiaoyu stared at the silent Li Chenxu for a long time before suddenly speaking. She had clearly thought things through carefully before saying this; every word she uttered reflected her current and past experiences.
Whether in the past or present, Mu Xiaoyu has never been someone who prioritizes love. She cares about Li Chenxu, loves Li Chenxu, and even loved herself, but for Mu Xiaoyu, she would never abandon her mother for Li Chenxu.
She is saying this now after careful consideration from various aspects.
After all, her mother already knew that Mu Pengzheng was dead. Compared to Mu Pengzheng's death, other things might not seem like much to her mother anymore.
Moreover, obtaining this item is extremely important to them now.
If we don't get this thing soon, more people might get hurt, and even Mu Xiaoyu's mother herself might get hurt.
As if considering Mu Xiaoyu's feelings, Li Chenxu didn't immediately agree upon hearing this. He stared at Mu Xiaoyu for a while before frowning slightly and asking, "Xiaoyu, have you thought this through? Although Auntie hasn't shown much grief on the surface regarding Mu Pengzheng's death, she's definitely not feeling well right now. It's only been a few days, and we're already like this..."
“Brother Shenxu, what I just said wasn’t impulsive.”
Before Li Chenxu could finish speaking, Mu Xiaoyu tightly grasped Li Chenxu's hand on his forehead, looked directly at him, and said with utmost seriousness.
Not wanting Li Chenxu to misunderstand, she told him everything on her mind. Seeing his slightly surprised expression, she continued, "Brother Chenxu, I know her very well. More than me, she definitely wants me to be happy. She may seem gentle and weak on the surface, but she's actually a very strong-willed person. Perhaps before this, she was always worried about her health and couldn't help me much."
"But things are different now. She played a big role. If it weren't for Mu Pengzheng's death, I think she would be very happy."
Ultimately, even though Li Chenxu had been in contact with Mu Xiaoyu's mother for several years, he certainly didn't understand her as well as Mu Xiaoyu, her biological daughter.
Moreover, judging from Mu Xiaoyu's current demeanor, she certainly doesn't seem to be lying.
Li Chenxu was not one to waste words, so since things had come to this point, he didn't say anything more. After carefully putting those things away, he took Mu Xiaoyu to the sanatorium to bring Mu Xiaoyu's mother over.
However, just as the two reached the door, one of Li Chenxu's trusted subordinates rushed over, looking at Li Chenxu with a panicked expression and anxiously saying, "Sir, something terrible has happened! Mrs. Mu is in trouble!"
After saying those two sentences, Mu Xiaoyu froze on the spot. After only a few seconds, she grabbed Li Chenxu's confidant's clothes and asked in a trembling voice, "What did you say? What do you mean something happened?"
