Chapter 519: Can We Talk?
Gu Yeqi stood rooted to the spot, his eyes fixed on Mu Xiaoyu. In that instant, several emotions flashed across his eyes, intertwining repeatedly.
Just as Mu Xiaoyu had thought, Gu Yeqi, with his personality, was indeed incapable of destroying someone else's family.
Before Mu Xiaoyu and Li Chenxu remarried, Gu Yeqi could pursue her without any scruples.
But now, it's different.
Gu Yeqi gave up, looking at Mu Xiaoyu with a hint of dejection, and said in a hoarse voice, "I understand, Sister Xiaoyu, I won't bother you anymore. But... could you grant me a request?"
Gu Yeqi's eyes were pleading. This tall and big boy had his head drooping slightly, his face full of sadness and disappointment, looking just like an abandoned puppy.
Mu Xiaoyu's heart softened, and before she even realized it, she nodded in agreement.
Seeing Mu Xiaoyu nod, Gu Yeqi immediately showed a slight smile, though not much, but much better than before.
He looked at Mu Xiaoyu and said, "Sister Xiaoyu, I won't bother you anymore. But I won't give up on you either, unless one day I really don't like you anymore. If Mr. Li bullies you one day, I will still come back. But I hope that if we happen to run into each other someday, Sister Xiaoyu won't pretend not to know me. After all, we are friends, aren't we?"
Mu Xiaoyu had no way to refuse this. She looked at Gu Yeqi helplessly, and finally nodded and said, "I promise you, if we run into each other by chance, I won't pretend I don't know you."
Having received Mu Xiaoyu's assurance, Gu Yeqi smiled contentedly.
"Sister Xiaoyu, I hope you can truly be happy."
This time, after saying that, Gu Yeqi left the villa without saying anything more.
Mu Xiaoyu stood there watching Gu Yeqi leave from afar until Gu Yeqi's figure completely disappeared before she turned her gaze away.
After this, I'm afraid I won't have any further contact with Gu Yeqi.
Since they're not on the same wavelength, how could they possibly have any further contact...?
Mu Xiaoyu hasn't returned for several days, and the villa hasn't had a regular cleaning service. Even though she's lived here for many years, just a few days away feels like an eternity; everything seems unfamiliar.
Indeed, no matter how long you've lived in a house, home is where your loved ones are by your side.
Mu Xiaoyu didn't want to stay in the villa alone any longer, so she quickly packed her things and decided to drive straight back to Li Chenxu's current apartment.
Who knew that as soon as they got in the car, before it even reached the outside of the residential area, it was stopped by other cars.
Mu Xiaoyu had suffered too many losses. Seeing this, she quickly locked the car door and took out her phone. She would notify Li Chenxu immediately if anything happened.
Two cars stopped Mu Xiaoyu; they looked somewhat familiar, but Mu Xiaoyu couldn't remember who they were.
Just as she was wondering, two men dressed in black got out of the car. They walked to the car window and gently knocked on Mu Xiaoyu's window, signaling her to roll it down.
Mu Xiaoyu wasn't stupid. She didn't know whether the other party was friend or foe. If she rolled down the car window now, what if these people wanted to do something to her?
She didn't open the window, but just watched the two people in front of her warily.
Fortunately, the two men didn't seem to be pressuring Mu Xiaoyu. Seeing that she was unwilling to open the window, they stood in front of the car and raised their voices to Mu Xiaoyu, saying, "Miss Mu, the old gentleman would like to talk to you."
Which old gentleman?
Mu Xiaoyu could roughly hear what the other person was saying: "Old sir, could it be Grandpa Li?"
The thought of Old Master Li immediately made Mu Xiaoyu's face turn ugly.
She hadn't forgotten what Old Master Li had done to her at the Li family's old mansion. If Bai Ye hadn't arrived in time, she might have lost her life.
Moreover, she always felt that Li Chenxu wouldn't let Old Master Li off so easily.
Putting aside her reasons, Old Master Li actually wanted to kill Li Chenxu back then.
Thinking about it this way, Mu Xiaoyu looked at the people outside with increasing indifference.
As expected, the two people outside the car nodded to Mu Xiaoyu and said, "Miss Mu, the old man said he won't do anything to you. All the real power in the Li family is now in Mr. Li's hands, so he wouldn't dare to do anything to you. He's only here to apologize for what happened last time."
"apologize?"
Mu Xiaoyu sneered, not speaking immediately. Her gaze fell on the black car directly in front of her, and finally, she looked coldly at the two bodyguards outside the car window and said, "If he really wanted to apologize, why didn't he come to me in person instead of sending you? Is this how he apologizes?"
Upon hearing this, the two bodyguards exchanged glances, clearly not expecting Mu Xiaoyu to be so difficult to deal with, and for a moment they didn't know what to do.
Mu Xiaoyu had no intention of wasting any more time with them. Seeing that they didn't speak, she turned the steering wheel, as if to turn around and leave.
Seeing Mu Xiaoyu make such a move, the two men immediately became anxious. One of them quickly stopped Mu Xiaoyu's car, while the other went into the car and said something to Old Master Li inside.
Mu Xiaoyu stopped what she was doing; she wanted to see what these people were up to.
After a short while, Grandpa Li finally got out of the car.
Mu Xiaoyu hadn't seen Grandpa Li for a long time. When he appeared in front of her now, she almost didn't recognize him. His hunched back, gray hair, and aged face made him look like an eighty or ninety-year-old man.
He was a completely different person from the energetic old man Li he knew before.
Could it be that Li Chenxu has really started to target Old Master Li, which is why Old Master Li has become like this?
Just as Mu Xiaoyu was lost in thought, Grandpa Li walked up to Mu Xiaoyu's car window, reached out and knocked on the window, drawing Mu Xiaoyu's attention back.
"Miss Mu, do you have time to talk to me? If you're worried, we can go to a crowded place. I really have something very important to discuss with you."
Mu Xiaoyu didn't say anything. To be honest, she didn't want to have any more contact with the Li family.
She originally wanted to refuse without hesitation, but seeing the way Old Master Li was acting, she figured if she didn't agree, he would stay with her and not leave.
Thinking about it this way, a hint of annoyance flashed across Mu Xiaoyu's face.
She glanced impatiently at Old Master Li and the people around him, and finally said, "Let's talk at the Blue Mountain Café in the city center. You can't bring anyone with you, or we can forget about talking."
