Chapter 398 Returning to My Mother's Home

Sometimes, a person's intuition is the most accurate. The moment Li Chenxu uttered this intuition, Mu Xiaoyu actually felt the same way.

Moreover, she also trusted Li Chenxu.

If what Li Chenxu said is true, then what they need to guard against now are these people who are out in the open, and they will no longer be as unguarded as before.

However, in order not to attract the attention of the Bai family, Mu Xiaoyu and the others could not make any big moves at this time, otherwise it would arouse the suspicion of the Bai family, and things would not be so simple then.

After talking with Li Chenxu for a while, Mu Xiaoyu went to her mother's room. When Mu Xiaoyu entered, her mother was writing something and was so focused that she didn't notice Mu Xiaoyu's arrival.

Seeing this, Mu Xiaoyu tiptoed behind her mother and looked at what she was writing.

Perhaps she was thinking of a password, because the paper was covered with all sorts of numbers. Mu Xiaoyu had never been good at math, and seeing so many numbers gave her a headache.

"Mom, are you trying to figure out the combination to the box?"

Mu Xiaoyu couldn't help but ask, and her mother was startled and immediately turned to look at her.

"When did they come in? They didn't even say a word. They almost scared Mom to death."

"I just came in. I've been busy having fun these past few days and haven't really thought about the password. I was just thinking of coming up to discuss it with you, and as soon as I came in, I saw you writing and drawing on the blueprints."

As Mu Xiaoyu spoke, she picked up the paper on the desk and looked at it. Based on what happened last time, this time when she looked at the numbers more closely, she could understand the meaning of most of them.

"Mom, these numbers are all ones you're confident about, right?"

In fact, Mu Xiaoyu had thought about some of these numbers before, but unlike her mother, she didn't have much confidence. So, to this day, she only has a handful of the most important numbers in her mind.

After listening, Mu Xiaoyu's mother shook her head, as if she was in a difficult situation. After a while, she said, "I have rejected all of these. They are all wrong."

"None of them are correct?"

Mu Xiaoyu looked at her in surprise. Several of these were things she had thought of before, and she was somewhat confident about a few of them, but now they were all wrong.

Seeing Mu Xiaoyu's surprised expression, her mother nodded heavily and said, "You know your father is an extremely cautious person. Even if it wasn't us, outsiders could probably guess some of the numbers written on this piece of paper, so it definitely couldn't be these."

Mu Xiaoyu already knew this, but...

She was silent for a few seconds, then suddenly said, "But if it weren't for these numbers, I couldn't think of any other numbers at all. Mom, numbers that are related to both my mom and me, I really can't think of any others."

After all, she was in front of her mother, just like she was in front of Li Chenxu, so there was no need to hide anything. Mu Xiaoyu's expression immediately became somewhat discouraged. They hadn't found a clue in all these days. If they really couldn't find the password, then all their previous efforts would have been in vain.

"Xiaoyu, we will find it. Your father promised me he would help you."

They had been husband and wife for decades, and even though they had ended up like this, their decades of marriage were not in vain. She knew better than anyone what Mu Pengzheng had said. Since he had promised her those things, he would definitely keep them.

After saying that, she frowned and thought for a moment, then looked at Mu Xiaoyu and said, "I need to take some time to go back to my hometown. Maybe I can find something there."

The "old home" that Mu Xiaoyu's mother mentioned was not the place where Mu Xiaoyu and her family used to live, but rather her maternal family home. In fact, when Mu Xiaoyu's mother decided to marry Mu Pengzheng, almost everyone from her maternal family had already severed ties with her.

Back then, almost no one from Mu Xiaoyu's mother's family agreed to her being with Mu Pengzheng. The elders at the time all said that Mu Pengzheng was dishonest and definitely not a good person to spend a lifetime with.

At the time, Mu Xiaoyu's mother refused to listen and was determined to marry Mu Pengzheng.

In retrospect, the older generation's words were sometimes not without reason; at least they were right about people back then.

Recalling her persistence back then and thinking about her current situation, Mu Xiaoyu's mother couldn't help but laugh at herself.

She held Mu Xiaoyu's hand and said, "Although I regret marrying Mu Pengzheng, I don't regret it. After all, if I hadn't married him, you wouldn't exist, so in the end, it's actually a good thing for me."

Mu Xiaoyu didn't say anything, but simply reached out and hugged her mother. She had seen her mother suffer too much since she was a child, and before, she just thought that this woman was really too weak. She could have left, but she insisted on staying by Mu Pengzheng's side.

When I was a child, I didn't understand, but now that I'm older, many things have become clear to me.

There are too many things we can't do in this world, and often only those who are experiencing them can truly understand the bitterness and sweetness of life.

Mu Xiaoyu told Li Chenxu that her mother was going back to her hometown. The weather was gradually warming up, although it was still a bit chilly, but much better than before. Going back now would not be a problem.

After pondering for a moment, Li Chenxu said, "I'll have my men make arrangements right away. We'll go with Auntie. Although Bai Ye probably won't make a move now, it's much better for Auntie to have us by her side in her condition."

In these matters, Li Chenxu was far more thoughtful than Mu Xiaoyu, so Miaoxuan nodded and went upstairs to pack the things they needed to take with them.

If she remembered correctly, her mother's family home was much farther away than her hometown. Although the area wasn't impoverished, there was no direct train service due to the terrain. Even if they wanted to go, they would first have to take a train, then transfer and drive, which would take much longer than going back to their hometown. Therefore, Mu Xiaoyu had to prepare a lot of things before going.

The next morning, Li Chenxu's men had everything prepared. So the three of them set off for Mu Xiaoyu's parents' home.

"Mom, it's been so long, are there still people on your family's side?"

Mu Xiaoyu asked cautiously, afraid of touching on her mother's painful past, and her tone was very careful.
