Chapter 332 Don't Leave
"When Shen Xu told me these things, did you think I did nothing?"
Grandpa Li looked at Mu Xiaoyu and saw that the other party was not surprised. He felt a little bored, but he also looked at Mu Xiaoyu in a different light.
Before this, he knew a little about Mu Xiaoyu. However, he didn't think much of her; in his opinion, Mu Xiaoyu was at most a woman with a little bit of cleverness.
But now it seems that Mu Xiaoyu is not only smarter than ordinary women, but also has courage and composure that ordinary women do not have.
Old Master Li couldn't help but glance at Mu Xiaoyu a few more times, his face showing a thoughtful expression. After a while, he said, "After Lei Chao's son left Beijing, he returned a few years later. However, he changed his identity, and we haven't been able to find out yet. The Li family's influence is neither huge nor small. As long as they're not from the government, we can basically find out anything if we want to."
"But Lei Chao, since he returned to the capital, so much time has passed, and we have found nothing. There is only one possibility: Lei Chao has entered the government and holds an important position."
Even if Old Master Li hadn't said anything, Mu Xiaoyu had more or less guessed what was going to happen next. In the entire capital, there were only a handful of people holding important positions in the government. And there weren't many people who matched Lei Chao's son's age.
Investigating those people's identities will at least clarify their backgrounds, even if it doesn't reveal everything.
"Now that you know Lei Chao's son's identity, why haven't you done anything about it? And what does this matter have to do with the child?"
"This is what we owed the Lei family back then."
Grandpa Li replied immediately. Recalling the past, Grandpa Li's face instantly looked tired. He was already quite old when he had Li Chenxu, and now, when he mentioned those things, he seemed to have aged several years in an instant.
It was only at this moment that Mu Xiaoyu truly realized that Grandpa Li had grown old.
For a moment, she didn't know what to say.
Old Master Li's words were quite clear: he didn't intend to tell Li Chenxu about this matter. He wanted to protect the descendant of the Lei family, choosing to remain on guard rather than take the initiative.
However, the other party had clearly been planning this for a long time. If Old Master Li did this, they would definitely be harmed, and the Li family's century-old foundation might also be affected.
If Li Chenxu or Grandpa Li are harmed in this war without gunfire, then Mu Xiaoyu and Li Chenxu's child will be of paramount importance.
In just a few seconds, Mu Xiaoyu had already quickly sorted through what Grandpa Li had just said and his plans in her mind.
When he understood the deeper meaning behind Old Master Li's words, his expression immediately turned cold.
She stared intently at Old Master Li before her and said coldly, "Dad, I know you feel guilty about what happened back then. But no matter what, what happened back then had nothing to do with Shen Xu. Have you truly considered Shen Xu's feelings when you do this?"
Mu Xiaoyu was very angry. She used almost all her strength to suppress her anger and tried her best to speak to Grandpa Li calmly.
This time, Old Master Li didn't speak, but his face darkened immediately when faced with Mu Xiaoyu's questioning tone.
He looked at Mu Xiaoyu with displeasure and said in a deep voice, "I am still the one in charge of the Li family. Mu Xiaoyu, I have indeed acknowledged you as the daughter-in-law of the Li family, but that does not mean you can interfere in the affairs of our Li family!"
Upon hearing this, Mu Xiaoyu almost burst out laughing. However, her heart sank completely because of Old Master Li's words.
She felt utterly stupid, knowing full well what kind of people the Li family were, yet she kept having expectations of them.
Mu Xiaoyu coldly stared at Old Master Li, who looked guilty and remorseful, and said coldly, "Dad, since you've told me everything, I'll be frank with you too. I won't have the child until this matter is completely resolved. If you want to have one, you can have it yourself. Also, I'll tell Shen Xu about this. You may not care about your son, but I do care about my husband!"
After saying this, Mu Xiaoyu had no intention of staying at the Li family's old house any longer. Without waiting for Old Master Li to speak, she turned around and left.
"Stop her!"
Now that Mu Xiaoyu knows so much, how could Grandpa Li possibly let her leave like this?
Mu Xiaoyu immediately realized this and regretted her impulsive words, but she still maintained a calm demeanor.
She turned to look at Old Master Li walking towards her and sneered, "Do you really intend to lock me up here? Don't forget, if you really did that, how would you explain it to Brother Chen Xu!"
"How you explain it is none of your concern. You cannot leave until you agree!"
Old Master Li was also enraged by Mu Xiaoyu. He spoke without any restraint and said directly to the servants who were blocking Mu Xiaoyu, "What are you all standing there for! Take her to her room!"
Right now, Mu Xiaoyu is isolated and helpless at the Li family's old mansion. Struggling at this point would be pointless. So, she didn't struggle. She simply glanced coldly at them, shook off the hands of those trying to grab her, and returned to her bedroom.
As soon as she entered, Mu Xiaoyu immediately wanted to call Li Chenxu. However, for some reason, Old Master Li had someone do something to sabotage her phone, and Mu Xiaoyu couldn't get through at all. She also couldn't contact Li Chenxu through other means.
Clearly, all of this was premeditated by Old Master Li.
Thinking back to how she still had some expectations for Grandpa Li and the others, Mu Xiaoyu felt extremely angry.
What kind of people are these members of the Li family!
Mu Xiaoyu sat on the edge of the bed, and it took her a while to recover. She couldn't just sit and wait to die like this. Old Master Li didn't care about Li Chenxu's safety, and she couldn't just stand by and do nothing!
But now, how can she get out?
Mu Xiaoyu walked to the balcony and looked at the bodyguards inside and outside the Li family's old house, and fell into deep thought.
This time, it was clear that Old Master Li had planned this all along. There were bodyguards constantly patrolling inside and outside the Li family mansion. Even when Mu Xiaoyu stood on the balcony, someone stopped to monitor her movements.
