Li Chenxu clearly didn't believe Mu Xiaoyu's words. Upon hearing this, his voice deepened, and he immediately asked, "You cried?"
Normally, no matter how heartbroken Mu Xiaoyu was, she could hold back her tears. But when she heard Li Chenxu's voice, for some reason, it felt like something was blocking her throat, making her feel extremely uncomfortable and wanting to cry.
But Mu Xiaoyu didn't want to cry, not even for a moment.
So after a moment of silence, she pretended to cough and said, "No, I just have a bit of a cold."
Li Chenxu didn't speak, and it was unclear whether he believed Mu Xiaoyu's words. After a while, he said, "It's good that you're alright," and hung up the phone without waiting for Mu Xiaoyu's reply.
When their relationship was at its best, every time they talked on the phone, Li Chenxu would wait until Mu Xiaoyu hung up before reluctantly hanging up himself.
No matter how many troublesome things there are at the company, no matter how angry he is at the company, he would never speak to Mu Xiaoyu in such a cold tone as just now.
So much has changed in just a day or two...
Mu Xiaoyu stared blankly at the blacked-out phone screen, muttered something for a long time, and finally closed her eyes weakly.
Mu Xiaoyu stayed in the study all morning without coming out. She listened to the recording over and over again, not because she was being masochistic, but because she hoped to hear something amiss from the recording.
She suffered for so long, but in the end, she was willing to believe her own eyes.
Li Chenxu's kindness to her back then was genuine. If Li Chenxu had no feelings for her at all, he wouldn't have reacted the way he did when he heard what she said in the hospital room.
She wanted to give Li Chenxu a chance, and also wanted to give herself a chance, hoping that all of this was just a conspiracy by Xu Sulin...
However, Mu Xiaoyu found nothing after a whole morning. Apart from hearing Li Chenxu's voice from the recording pen intermittently at the beginning, there were no other clues.
Mu Xiaoyu was completely clueless at the moment, and thinking about what Xu Sulin had said before, her mind was in turmoil.
She turned off the computer, hid the voice recorder, and planned to go to the prison in Beijing that afternoon to find Mu Pengzheng and ask him about everything.
If she could, Mu Xiaoyu would not want to see Mu Pengzheng. That man, nominally her father, was the one who brought her the most nightmares.
However, rather than avoiding and fearing the past, she was even more unwilling to see the scene of misunderstanding Li Chenxu again.
So she had to take this step.
Unfortunately, Mu Xiaoyu was unable to go to the prison in the afternoon because Li Chenxu had returned.
When Li Chenxu returned, Mu Xiaoyu was having lunch. Compared to many women, she paid great attention to her figure and tried to control her food intake when eating.
Because of this, Mu Xiaoyu often felt hungry. As long as the food wasn't too bad, she would eat it with relish, and eating was the thing she looked forward to most every day.
However, given what happened today, how could Mu Xiaoyu possibly still have an appetite?
The cook prepared five or six dishes, and Mu Xiaoyu had been eating for more than half an hour, but the dishes on the table seemed untouched, and Mu Xiaoyu seemed to be in a daze.
The aunt who had been standing to the side noticed that Mu Xiaoyu's appearance was really strange. Just as she was about to ask if the food was not to her liking, she heard the sound of the door opening.
Everyone looked towards the doorway in the direction of the sound, only to see Li Chenxu, who was supposed to return in a week, suddenly rush back. His face was cold, and it was clear that he was in a bad mood.
Seeing this, everyone quickly lowered their heads, not daring to look at Li Chenxu again, for fear that they might do something wrong and become Li Chenxu's punching bag.
Li Chenxu took off his coat and walked to Mu Xiaoyu's side. He seemed a little surprised to see that Mu Xiaoyu was still eating.
It was already 2 p.m., and usually everyone at home finished eating before 1 p.m. But now, Mu Xiaoyu hadn't finished eating, and she hadn't touched much of the rice in her bowl.
Thinking about Xu Sulin's visit this morning, Li Chenxu's eyes turned cold.
He frowned at Mu Xiaoyu, who was bowing her head and remaining silent, and asked in a deep voice, "What exactly happened this morning?"
Li Chenxu's tone was not good, but he didn't blame Mu Xiaoyu. He was just about to board the plane to leave when he suddenly received news that Xu Sulin had come to the villa.
Li Chenxu had told Mu Xiaoyu that everything about Xu Sulin was true, but there was one thing he hadn't told her: Xu Sulin was far from being as harmless as he appeared. The Xu family members were far more ruthless than many people thought.
Worried that Mu Xiaoyu would be harmed by Xu Sulin, he rushed towards the villa without hesitation, fearing that Mu Xiaoyu might suffer some harm.
Mu Xiaoyu kept her head down and didn't speak. Because Li Chenxu couldn't see Mu Xiaoyu's expression from his angle, he found it strange that she hadn't said a word for a long time. So Li Chenxu's brows furrowed even more. The next second, he bent down and squatted down, looking Mu Xiaoyu straight in the eye.
As a result, upon looking, they caught a glimpse of Mu Xiaoyu's tearful face.
Mu Xiaoyu rarely cries in front of Li Chenxu. Since their marriage, Li Chenxu has seen Mu Xiaoyu cry very few times. If she hadn't really suffered a great injustice, Mu Xiaoyu wouldn't be crying with tears streaming down her face like this now.
Originally, Li Chenxu still harbored some anger, but when he saw Mu Xiaoyu's tears, his heart softened instantly.
A barely audible sigh escaped Li Chenxu's lips. Just like before, he gently wiped away Mu Xiaoyu's tears one by one, saying with a helpless yet heartbroken tone, "Why are you crying? I asked you if Xu Sulin bullied you, but you wouldn't say. If it wasn't her who bullied you, then was it me who bullied you?"
Li Chenxu's emotions had calmed down considerably; at least on the surface, he seemed no different from usual.
For some reason, seeing Li Chenxu like this made Mu Xiaoyu's tears flow even more. She kept wiping the tears off her face haphazardly, as if she didn't want to cry anymore, but the tears just kept flowing uncontrollably.
In the end, Mu Xiaoyu simply gave up, staring at Jing Li with teary eyes, and sobbed, "It's all your fault! All you do is bully me!"
