Chapter 449: I Want to See You
At the moment, Mu Xiaoyu doesn't know whether what happened between Bai Luo and Li Chenxu is true or false. However, after what just happened, there is one thing she is certain of: Bai Luo and Li Chenxu are definitely hiding something from her. More importantly, this matter is very likely related to Lei Chao's situation.
Previously, Mu Xiaoyu only had a slight suspicion that the relationship between Li Chenxu and Bai Luo was to protect her, but now she is almost certain that that is the truth.
Now, she has to go see Li Chenxu and get to the bottom of things!
Thinking of this, Mu Xiaoyu didn't delay and immediately drove towards the Li Group headquarters after leaving the residential area. Since the last incident, Li Chenxu had returned to the Li Group and resumed his position as president.
However, before going, Mu Xiaoyu still made a phone call to Li Chenxu.
She didn't know Li Chenxu's whereabouts, so in order not to make a wasted trip, it would be better to inform Li Chenxu in advance.
After meeting at the Li family's old house last time, Li Chenxu and Mu Xiaoyu had no contact for the past few days. Suddenly, Mu Xiaoyu called, and Li Chenxu could hardly believe it.
"Mu Xiaoyu?"
"It's me. Are you at the Li family's place right now?"
Nurse Mu Xiaoyu tried to remain calm as she spoke to Li Chenxu, her voice filled with surprise.
"I'm here, what do you want to do?"
After confirming it was Mu Xiaoyu, Li Chenxu's tone suddenly became serious, carrying a subtle warning.
Mu Xiaoyu knew Li Chenxu's temperament better than anyone after being together for so many years. At this moment, even if Li Chenxu wasn't angry, he was definitely not happy either.
Clearly, he didn't want Mu Xiaoyu to come to him at this time.
Mu Xiaoyu wasn't angry, but for some reason, she suddenly felt like laughing. She coughed lightly and said to Li Chenxu on the other end of the phone with a half-smile, "What? Are you afraid I'll come over? Li Chenxu, I'm not that scary, am I? Or are you hiding something from me, and you're feeling guilty?"
"Mu Xiaoyu, what exactly do you want from here?"
Li Chenxu did not answer Mu Xiaoyu's question. After a two-second silence, he suddenly spoke sharply to Mu Xiaoyu.
Before what happened between Li Chenxu and Bai Luo, Mu Xiaoyu and Li Chenxu had always had a good relationship. Although Li Chenxu often liked to tease Mu Xiaoyu, he mostly indulged her and spoiled her. It had been a long time since he had spoken to Mu Xiaoyu like this.
Even at this moment, upon hearing Li Chenxu's tone, Mu Xiaoyu was momentarily dazed.
“Li Chenxu, I didn’t mean to do anything. Didn’t you say before that you would give me whatever compensation I wanted? Now, I want you to compensate me.”
After a brief moment of stunned silence, Mu Xiaoyu slowly spoke. By now, she had completely calmed down. This was not the usual time; time was far too important for them. No matter what emotions she had, they were insignificant compared to these major events.
Li Chenxu clearly hadn't expected Mu Xiaoyu to bring up these things. There was no response from the other end of the phone for a long time. Just when Mu Xiaoyu thought Li Chenxu wouldn't agree, she heard him speak in a deep voice: "I'm at Li's headquarters right now. You can just come over."
After saying that, without even giving Mu Xiaoyu a chance to speak, he slammed the phone down.
This was the first time Mu Xiaoyu had been hung up on by Li Chenxu. She didn't react for a moment, staring blankly at the disconnected phone for a while before bursting out laughing.
She stared at her now-blacked-out phone screen, a half-smile playing on her lips: "Li Chenxu, you'd better pray that what happened between you and Bai Luo is true. If it's false, you'll see how I repay you for what you've done to me now!"
Mu Xiaoyu is not a magnanimous person. If the matter between Li Chenxu and Bai Luo is really false, she can understand that Li Chenxu did it to protect her, but she will not agree with it.
They've been through so much together, and she was involved in Lei Chao's affair from the very beginning. Even if Li Chenxu really did protect her in this way, she couldn't possibly escape unscathed.
Moreover, if something really happened to Li Chenxu, she wouldn't be able to survive alone.
Of course, so far, these are all just Mu Xiaoyu's guesses, and there is no substantial evidence. The truth will only be revealed when she obtains the evidence...
The Bai family's headquarters was a bit far from the Li family's headquarters, and it was more than half an hour later when Mu Xiaoyu arrived at the Li family's headquarters.
It has been almost half a year since Mu Xiaoyu last visited the Li Group headquarters. In addition, due to various reasons, there has been a lot of personnel turmoil at the Li Group headquarters, and many people have not actually seen Mu Xiaoyu.
However, recently, the matter involving Mu Xiaoyu, Bai Luoli, and Shen Xu has caused quite a stir online. Not to mention at the Li Group headquarters, even when walking on the street, people will give Mu Xiaoyu a second look.
Now that Mu Xiaoyu has arrived, the receptionist at the Li Group headquarters is practically staring at her with wide eyes.
Fortunately, Mu Xiaoyu was only a little shy around Li Chenxu; she felt almost no pressure around these people. She quickly walked to the front desk, tapped the counter lightly with her slender fingers, and said, "Snap out of it. I made an appointment with Li Chenxu; is he upstairs right now?"
The receptionist was surprised by Mu Xiaoyu's composure. She stared blankly at Mu Xiaoyu, nodded, and said, "President Li has already given instructions. You can just come up with me."
Finally, the receptionist seemed to remember something, paused for two seconds, and then said, "The company was renovated once before, so it may be a little different from before. I'm afraid you won't know the way, so I'll take you upstairs."
Mu Xiaoyu nodded, had no objections, and followed the receptionist into the elevator.
Li Chenxu's office was on the 38th floor of the building, and even taking the elevator would take some time. Mu Xiaoyu's gaze was fixed on a certain spot in the elevator, without looking at the receptionist, but she could feel the receptionist glancing at her from time to time.
If it were just a glance or two, perhaps she could ignore it, but the number of times she looked over was far too many, so even if Mu Xiaoyu wanted to ignore it, she couldn't.
"Am I so good-looking that you forgot to press the elevator button?"
As she pressed the elevator button, she turned her head and raised an eyebrow at the receptionist.
The receptionist blushed deeply after Mu Xiaoyu's words, quickly shaking her head and stammering, "No...it's...it's beautiful..."
"I think it's not that I'm good-looking, but rather that the news about me and Li Chenxu is interesting, right? When did the people at Li's headquarters become so gossipy?"
