Chapter 216 Get out of the Li family
At the end of his sentence, Old Master Li suddenly laughed, then changed the subject, his gaze towards Mu Xiaoyu suddenly becoming sharp.
"But if I'm not mistaken, that person in jail should be released soon. Your injury this time is also related to that person. If we completely cut you off from the Li family now, will you be able to protect this woman then?"
Grandpa Li seemed to have victory in his grasp. When he spoke these words, his tone was light and airy. In his eyes, Mu Xiaoyu was just an appendage of Li Chenxu. What they wanted to do was entirely up to them, and they would not follow the opinions of a woman like Mu Xiaoyu.
Mu Xiaoyu initially thought that Grandpa Li was a really boring person to come looking for her, after all, the topic of divorce had been discussed countless times before.
But now that she's heard this, she suddenly finds it interesting.
So, before Li Chenxu could speak, Mu Xiaoyu stopped him once again.
She smiled at Old Master Li and asked with interest, "So, Mr. Li, you mean that I absolutely have to divorce Brother Shenxu?"
"good."
Grandpa Li nodded, seemingly thinking that Mu Xiaoyu was quite sensible, so his expression softened slightly.
"As long as you divorce Shen Xu, we will continue to protect you and give you a substantial sum of money so that you can live a worry-free life for the rest of your days."
Hearing Grandpa Li's words, Mu Xiaoyu's smile deepened. She rested her chin on one hand, tilted her head slightly, and looked Grandpa Li up and down before finally fixing her gaze on Xu Sulin, who had been standing silently by.
"I'd like to ask, if I divorce Shen Xu, who do you want him to marry next? Let me guess, perhaps Miss Xu?"
When Xu Sulin was mentioned, the other party finally reacted. She looked directly at Mu Xiaoyu, appearing completely open and honest, without the slightest hint of guilt.
I don't know what happened during this time, but Xu Sulin's personality changed so quickly.
Mu Xiaoyu couldn't help but marvel, yet she also eagerly awaited how Grandpa Li would respond.
“That’s right. As long as you two get married, the Xu family and the Li family will get married. Su Lin and Shen Xu are a match made in heaven.”
If the timing weren't so inappropriate, Mu Xiaoyu would have wanted to laugh out loud right now.
Regardless of anything else, she genuinely felt that Old Master Li's heart was far too big. If it were any other woman, Mu Xiaoyu could understand. But who was Xu Sulin? She was the one who had plotted against the Li family and Li Chenxu. Just how big was Old Master Li's heart that he actually wanted the two of them to get married?
Li Chenxu clearly also felt that the old man was being unreasonable, and his already unpleasant expression darkened even further.
"Dad, you're being ridiculous. I would never marry Xu Sulin."
Right now, the most important thing for Old Master Li is to divorce Mu Xiaoyu. A woman like Mu Xiaoyu will only bring trouble to Li Chenxu if she stays by his side!
He coughed lightly and said seriously, "Your marriage with Su Lin can be discussed later, but right now you must divorce this woman, or do as I just said!"
Upon hearing this, Mu Xiaoyu didn't even glance at Old Master Li. Instead, she rested her chin on Li Chenxu's shoulder, blinked her bright eyes, and looked at Li Chenxu expectantly, asking, "Brother Chenxu, what are you thinking? Do you want to divorce me?"
"impossible."
Without any hesitation, Li Chenxu spoke without even thinking.
Old Master Li had prepared for so long, but Li Chenxu still didn't waver in the slightest, which made his chest heave violently with anger.
Neither Li Chenxu nor Mu Xiaoyu were people who cared about fame, fortune, or wealth. The fact that Old Master Li wanted Li Chenxu to step down was of no concern to him whatsoever.
Anyway, just like Grandpa Li said, he has the ability to succeed at anything he does, not to mention he has so many friends.
The only thing that might be troubling him is the issue of Mu Xiaoyu and Mu Pengzheng...
“Grandpa Li, I won’t waste any more words with you. After all, it’s not easy for someone as busy as you to condescend to come and talk to me about these things. Shenxu and I will not get a divorce. As for what you’re saying, so be it. At worst, I’ll just die. Anyway, with Shenxu by my side, I don’t care.”
Previously, Mu Xiaoyu was considerate of Li Chenxu's feelings, and her personality wasn't as assertive as it is now. Therefore, she always appeared timid and hesitant when facing the Li family, and even if she felt resentful, she dared not say much.
But now, having died twice, what is there that I can't see through?
Since the Li family dislikes her so much, there's no need for her to try to please them anymore. It's better to just say what she has to say directly.
Grandpa Li was clearly taken aback by Mu Xiaoyu's audacity in speaking to him like that. He paused for a moment, then his face flushed with anger. Li Chenxu was also surprised, but his reaction differed from Grandpa Li's; he was rather blunt and burst out laughing.
His smile was like adding fuel to the fire, enraging Old Master Li so much that he pointed at the two men with a trembling hand and shouted, "Fine! Fine! You said it yourselves! From now on, Li Chenxu, get out of the Li family! I want to see how you plan to live!"
After saying that, Old Master Li got up, leaned on his cane, and quickly left the room. He was trembling as he walked, which showed how angry Li Chenxu and Mu Xiaoyu had made him.
The girl from the Li family was also startled by this scene. After regaining her senses, she hurriedly chased after Old Master Li. On the contrary, Xu Sulin, who hadn't said much until now, finally looked at Li Chenxu.
“Brother Chenxu, you shouldn’t have made Uncle so angry. Even if you’re unhappy about this, you could have used…”
"You call me 'uncle'?"
Xu Sulin spoke, her voice gentle and unhurried, a complete change from her previous arrogant self. Unfortunately, even so, Li Chenxu still interrupted her.
In particular, the sharp look in Li Chenxu's eyes when he spoke to Xu Sulin made him feel utterly contemptuous.
Upon hearing this, Xu Sulin's face turned pale, and she didn't dare to look at Li Chenxu again. She hurriedly said, "Sorry to bother you," and left quickly.
Watching Xu Sulin's retreating figure, Mu Xiaoyu couldn't help but shake her head. At the same time, she reached out and hooked Li Chenxu's chin, laughing, "You really don't know how to cherish a woman at all. Look at Xu Sulin this time, she's really changed a lot compared to before..."
