Seeing Bai Luo's mournful expression, Mu Xiaoyu immediately laughed. The way she looked at Bai Luo now was like looking at a child.
Mu Xiaoyu's good temper left Bai Luo somewhat helpless. If it were anyone else, Bai Luo might have thought that the other person was just soft-hearted. However, after being friends with Mu Xiaoyu for so long, and after what happened last time, her impression of Mu Xiaoyu had completely changed. She knew that Mu Xiaoyu was not as soft-hearted as she seemed on the surface.
Since they say they have a way, then they must have a way...
Thinking of this, Bai Luo could only pout and say, "But Sister Xiaoyu, who exactly arranged this contract? When you signed with SQ before, I remember you told me that SQ was offering you pretty good benefits, didn't you?"
"SQ has now been acquired."
Mu Xiaoyu lowered her eyes, her smile fading slightly. She briefly recounted Liang Qiao's situation to Bai Luo, then added, "However, I don't think it was Mr. Liang who did it. Putting aside what happened before, even if Mr. Liang really wanted to do something to me, he wouldn't be so blatant. It's very likely..."
"This is just a misunderstanding. After all, Mr. Liang is a businessman, and his subordinates are the same. Naturally, he will exploit the interests of his employees."
Before meeting Bai Luo, Mu Xiaoyu had considered many possibilities. But in the end, this was the one she could truly believe in.
After all, she and Liang Qiao had never had any conflicts before, and she really couldn't think of any reason why Liang Qiao would want to harm her.
Upon hearing Mu Xiaoyu's explanation, Bai Luo's expression became even more dissatisfied.
"Sister Xiaoyu, you're overthinking things. What if they guessed you were thinking this way, and that's why they're being so blatant on purpose?"
Bai Luo's words immediately amused Mu Xiaoyu. She imitated Bai Luo's previous actions, winked at her, and laughed, "Then tell me, what reason does Liang Qiao have to harm me?"
"How would I know that? But you shouldn't think that way..."
Mu Xiaoyu's smile deepened. She reached out and ruffled Bai Luo's soft hair: "I know you're concerned about me. Don't worry, I'm not that naive. Whether I believe Liang Qiao did it or not, I'll investigate this matter thoroughly before I do. Once I have the results, I'll go find Liang Qiao."
Having received Mu Xiaoyu's assurance, Bai Luo stopped dwelling on the matter. In fact, like Mu Xiaoyu, Bai Luo was a naturally optimistic person, and due to her young age, she didn't like to always talk about dark things.
So the two of them didn't talk about it any further, and chatted like ordinary friends about recent events to pass the afternoon.
"Sister Xiaoyu, it's getting late, I have to go back."
Because it's already winter, it gets dark much faster than before. It's not even six o'clock yet, but it's already almost completely dark outside.
In addition, after what happened last time, Grandpa Bai forbade Bai Luo from going out again, worried that something else might happen.
Since they hadn't actually found Mu Pengzheng's whereabouts yet, Mu Xiaoyu was worried about what other tricks Mu Pengzheng might pull in the future. So when she heard that Bai Luo was leaving, she didn't stop him. Instead, she stood up with Bai Luo and said, "Let's go, I'll take you there."
"No need, my brother will be here soon..."
As she spoke, Bai Luo suddenly realized something was amiss and quickly changed her words, saying, "My brother has been picking me up these past few days. He just finished his work in the army, so he's been keeping me company."
Seeing Bai Luo's nervous appearance, Mu Xiaoyu couldn't help but laugh. She glanced at Bai Luo helplessly and said, "Why are you so nervous? I understand. Since Mr. Bai is here, I won't see you off. You can go ahead."
Mu Xiaoyu didn't want to have any contact with Bai Ye. After experiencing so much, she actually knew more or less about Bai Ye's feelings for her. In any case, it's rare for a man and a woman to have a pure friendship. Besides, she and Bai Ye weren't suitable to be friends. Meeting would always feel a bit awkward.
So after saying goodbye to Bai Luo, Mu Xiaoyu planned to leave.
However, the things or people that people least want to encounter are often the very things that fate seems to do in the opposite way.
Mu Xiaoyu had just reached the parking lot and was about to drive away when she saw Bai Ye running towards her.
It seemed as if he had been chasing her all the way; even in this freezing weather, you could see beads of sweat on Bai Ye's forehead.
"Mr. Bai?"
Mu Xiaoyu looked at Bai Ye in surprise, but also felt a little helpless. It was really awkward that Bai Ye had caught up with her at this time.
Bai Ye remained calm and composed. Upon hearing Mu Xiaoyu's voice, he nodded and said, "I have something to tell you, it's about Mu Pengzheng."
Upon hearing this, Mu Xiaoyu's expression immediately turned serious, and she quickly asked, "What's wrong? Did he do something to hurt Luo Luo again?"
More than worrying about Mu Pengzheng hurting himself, Mu Xiaoyu was now most concerned about Mu Pengzheng harming the people she cared about. So when she heard Bai Ye's words, Mu Xiaoyu immediately became nervous.
Seeing her like this, Bai Ye's expression softened slightly.
"No, it's just that on our way to pick up Bai Luo, we received some news about Mu Pengzheng. If... it's convenient, let's talk now."
Knowing that Mu Xiaoyu was avoiding him, Bai Ye was more careful with his words than before. However, Mu Pengzheng's matter couldn't be explained in just a few words; even if the two didn't talk about it tonight, they would still have to discuss it at another time.
Although Mu Xiaoyu was somewhat avoiding Bai Ye, she wasn't ungrateful. Now that Bai Ye had come for Mu Pengzheng's sake, if she were still hesitating and dawdling, she would truly be ungrateful.
So she nodded, looked sincerely at Bai Ye, and said, "Then thank you very much, Mr. Bai."
"You're welcome."
Bai Ye said calmly, and then immediately led Mu Xiaoyu away from the parking lot to the tea restaurant upstairs. Bai Luo was waiting for them there. Bai Ye had been in a hurry to catch up with Mu Xiaoyu, so he hadn't told Bai Luo the reason for what had happened.
Upon seeing Bai Ye and Mu Xiaoyu approaching, he assumed Bai Ye had forced Mu Xiaoyu into it, so he quickly pulled her behind him and glared at Bai Ye, saying angrily, "Brother! Why did you bring Sister Xiaoyu back!"
