Chapter 278 I'm Taking Her Away
"Xiaoyu, listen to your mother's explanation. This is not something I intentionally wanted to hide from you."
As she spoke, she seemed to want to get out of bed, but it was as if she had no strength at all. No matter what she did, she couldn't get out of bed.
At this moment, Mu Xiaoyu noticed something was wrong and quickly reached out to help the person up.
Just as her hand reached out, before it even touched anyone, she felt a sharp pain in her waist. Mu Xiaoyu immediately sensed the threat from Mu Pengzheng.
Seeing this, Mu Xiaoyu had no choice but to withdraw her hand.
Who is this person next to you?
Mu Xiaoyu's mother also sensed something was wrong, and when she asked Mu Pengzheng a question, her eyes were filled with obvious doubt.
It's quite obvious that, regardless of whether she has any health problems, Li Chenxu has taken good care of her over the past few years. Her expression even looks much better than when she was with Mu Peng.
At this moment, Mu Pengzheng remained silent, as did Mu Xiaoyu and the others. Personally, neither Mu Xiaoyu nor Li Chenxu wanted Mu Pengzheng's current identity to be exposed.
This would probably not be good for anyone.
Unfortunately, Mu Pengzheng, that madman, never changes his mind because of what other people think.
He didn't answer Mu Xiaoyu's mother's question immediately. After staring at her for a while with his sinister yet slightly amused eyes, he slowly said, "Does changing your face mean you can't even recognize your husband who has been with you for decades?"
These were just a few words, and at least they sounded completely intimidating. But when Mu Xiaoyu's mother heard them, the color drained from her face in an instant.
She stared wide-eyed at Mu Pengzheng in disbelief, as if she never expected to see him again after so many years.
"What? You don't recognize me? Well, how could you possibly recognize me now that I look like this?"
Seeing Mu Xiaoyu's mother staring at him with wide eyes, Mu Pengzheng spoke again, his words carrying a hint of self-mockery and a touch of obsessive madness.
This time, Mu Xiaoyu's mother gradually came to her senses. She didn't speak, and her gaze left Mu Pengzheng. She seemed to be thinking about something, and the expression on her face was one of indescribable bitterness and regret.
"You actually came out, and you're with Shen Xu and Xiao Yu. So... you coerced them."
She spoke clearly and logically, her expression calm and composed, unlike the weak woman who had endured so much humiliation under the tyranny of Mu Erpan for so many years.
Even Mu Xiaoyu was somewhat surprised to see her mother's appearance.
"Over the years, I have regretted it more than once. I regret not leaving you sooner, and I regret choosing you. Mu Pengzheng, why didn't I really die back then? Maybe... you wouldn't have had the chance to come out and harm Xiaoyu and Chenxu."
Finally, Mu Xiaoyu's mother looked at Mu Pengzheng again. Her gaze was calm, without any emotion, devoid of hatred or love, as if she were looking at a complete stranger.
Upon hearing this, Mu Pengzheng's eyes narrowed dangerously in an instant. He stared intently at the woman on the bed without saying a word, but the look in his eyes grew increasingly crazed.
"Speak, what exactly do you want from me?"
Mu Xiaoyu's mother quickly adapted to the fact that Mu Pengzheng had arrived. Perhaps because she had already escaped death, she was now very calm.
"Come with me."
Mu Pengzheng had no intention of wasting words with the other party, and upon hearing her say this, he immediately replied without hesitation.
"What if I don't leave? What are you going to do then?"
"Don't go?"
Mu Peng was repeating her words, chuckling as he spoke. His gaze finally fell on Mu Xiaoyu beside him, and he said with a half-smile, "Of course I won't force you if you don't leave, but your dear daughter might not be able to leave this ward alive later!"
No sooner had the words left her lips than laughter erupted. It turned out to be Mu Xiaoyu's mother laughing. No one knew what she was laughing at, but the laughter didn't stop immediately. Instead, it lingered for quite a while, only gradually ceasing when everyone's attention was focused on her.
"Mu Pengzheng, it's been years since I last saw you. How did you become so foolish?"
She wouldn't have been able to say such things before. But having faced death once, she's come to terms with many things and has nothing to be afraid of saying.
So after saying this, without giving Mu Pengzheng and the others time to react, she continued, "Don't you see how I am now? Do you know why Shen Xu hasn't told Xiao Yu about me all these years? It's because of my current state. I could leave anytime soon. You want me to go with you? Fine, I agree. But if I die, you can't make things difficult for Xiao Yu and the others. Otherwise, even if I die, I won't let you go."
Towards the end, Mu Xiaoyu's mother's tone finally showed some emotion.
It was only at this moment that Mu Pengzheng seemed to suddenly realize something, frowning as he looked at Mu Xiaoyu's mother with an extremely gloomy expression.
"what happened?"
"Don't you know what happened? You were the one who stabbed me in the body with your own hands, and now you're asking what happened?"
"What nonsense are you talking about! If it weren't for this brat's interference, how could I have..."
Mu Peng seemed to want to say something, but before he could speak, he swallowed the rest of his words, perhaps thinking of something.
Li Chenxu watched all this with a cold eye, but all his attention was focused on the knife that Mu Peng was holding against Mu Xiaoyu's waist.
Occasionally, his gaze would drift out the window, though it was unclear what he was looking at.
Mu Pengzheng had been preparing for all of this for a long time. Perhaps because he was too confident, Mu Pengzheng had no intention of calling anyone else in. He stayed alone in the ward and didn't take Li Chenxu seriously at all.
Only when he heard Mu Pengzheng's words did Li Chenxu react slightly: "Auntie is currently paralyzed from the waist down and her internal organs are severely damaged. She basically cannot leave the hospital. If we try to forcibly take her away, it will only backfire."
The knife Mu Peng used to stab Mu Xiaoyu's mother wasn't a small fruit knife, but a large knife like the ones used in rural areas, and it wasn't just one stab. Mu Xiaoyu's mother survived because Li Chenxu brought in the best doctors from home and abroad to save her.
