Chapter 305 Is He Worth It?
As her daughter, Mu Xiaoyu knew her mother's personality all too well. Even though her mother had changed a lot, Mu Xiaoyu believed that her mother still had feelings for Mu Pengzheng.
Mu Pengzheng's crime this time is enough to warrant the death penalty. Even if she doesn't see Mu Pengzheng now, she will definitely see him someday.
It's just a matter of time.
Moreover, her mother did indeed have the right to know about this incident.
Personally, Mu Xiaoyu really didn't want her mother to know about this.
However, having lived to her mother's age, and given her current health condition, who knows... she might pass away at any time.
If there are any regrets in her life at that time, her mother might really regret it for the rest of her life.
That's not what Mu Xiaoyu wanted to see.
Li Chenxu remained silent, but hugged Mu Xiaoyu from behind: "I understand, but you will be sad."
Mu Xiaoyu smiled upon hearing this, but did not speak.
Sad? No matter what she does, she will be sad.
Furthermore, she is no longer as fragile as she used to be; she can still endure sadness.
Mu Xiaoyu stayed in Li Chenxu's arms for a few seconds before finally breaking free. She looked up at Li Chenxu with utmost seriousness and said slowly, "Brother Chenxu, let's tell my mother about this in a couple of days."
Li Chenxu didn't speak, but just frowned at Mu Xiaoyu, as if he had expected Mu Xiaoyu to say that.
It was unclear what he was thinking at that moment; his face was full of conflict. He stared at Mu Xiaoyu for a long while before finally speaking, "Xiaoyu, you really don't need to be like this. We will definitely find the culprit behind this; it will just take a little longer."
“Brother Shenxu.”
Mu Xiaoyu didn't say anything more, but her bright and spirited eyes looked at Li Chenxu with unwavering determination, showing her resolve.
Compared to Li Chenxu, Mu Xiaoyu might be a bit more stubborn. That's why Mu Xiaoyu and Li Chenxu had so many misunderstandings back then—it was entirely because of her stubbornness.
Li Chenxu really couldn't do anything about Mu Xiaoyu. Moreover, Mu Xiaoyu already knew everything. Even if he didn't agree now, given Mu Xiaoyu's personality, she would definitely find all sorts of ways to achieve her goal.
So in the end, Li Chenxu could only nod in agreement.
"I promise you, but Xiaoyu, you also have to promise me that you can do whatever you want without worrying about me or the Li family, understand?"
Mu Xiaoyu softly hummed in response. She looked at Li Chenxu and saw the worry and heartache in his dark eyes, and her heart felt both warm and aching.
She couldn't help but cup Li Chenxu's face in her hands, tiptoe to kiss him on the lips, and whisper, "Brother Chenxu, you're so good to me..."
"You silly girl, if I don't treat my wife well, who should I treat well? Do you expect me to treat other women well too?"
"No! You can only be good to me!"
Mu Xiaoyu immediately retorted that it was one thing for her to say that, but if she really saw Li Chenxu being nice to other women, she felt she would definitely go crazy.
It was fortunate that Li Chenxu didn't have much contact with other women, otherwise Mu Xiaoyu could almost foresee that she would definitely become a jealous woman.
But so what? Anyway, Li Chenxu can only be hers.
Mu Xiaoyu did not go to the sanatorium to find her mother the next day, but went there several days later.
This incident had a significant impact on Mu Xiaoyu, and she didn't want her mother to notice her emotional state.
Moreover, Mu Xiaoyu did not intend to tell her about the matter this time when she went to see her.
Since the last incident, the sanatorium's security measures have been significantly improved. Even Mu Xiaoyu underwent rigorous checks when she entered.
It was more than ten minutes later when we arrived at my mother's hospital room.
When Mu Xiaoyu entered, her mother was reading a book. She caught sight of Mu Xiaoyu out of the corner of her eye, paused for a second, and then gave Mu Xiaoyu a very faint smile. She put down her book, waved to Mu Xiaoyu, and said softly, "Come in, Xiaoyu."
Seeing her like this, Mu Xiaoyu bit her lip and followed her inside, saying, "Mom."
"Sit down, don't stand there. Why are you being so reserved when we meet?"
Mu Xiaoyu's mother didn't know why Mu Xiaoyu was acting this way, but her gaze towards Mu Xiaoyu remained as gentle as before.
Her gentle demeanor reminded Mu Xiaoyu of the times they used to be together as a family.
In Mu Xiaoyu's memory, when she was very young, Mu Pengzheng was not as cruel to her mother as he would become later. Looking back now, the way he looked at his mother was indeed full of love.
It goes without saying how deep his mother's feelings for Mu Pengzheng were.
So even now, Mu Xiaoyu still can't understand why Li Chenxu turned out the way he did.
It was nearing noon, and the warm winter sun shone through the transparent glass window, casting large patches of golden sunlight onto Mu Xiaoyu's mother's gentle profile.
Although she is approaching fifty, she doesn't look old at all. Perhaps it's because of her personality, but right now she looks like an angel bathed in sunlight. People around her are unconsciously infected by her, and their originally restless hearts gradually calm down.
Mu Xiaoyu was somewhat dazed, and it took her a while to remember the purpose of her visit. She lowered her eyes and spoke softly, "Mom, have you thought about going to see Mu Pengzheng?"
Upon hearing this, the gentle smile on Mu Xiaoyu's mother's face vanished instantly. She didn't answer Mu Xiaoyu immediately, but instead turned to look at the bare branches outside the window, her eyes slightly glazed over, and she remained silent, lost in thought.
Mu Xiaoyu didn't urge her, but just quietly looked at her mother, her originally firm gaze suddenly becoming somewhat hesitant.
"Mom, if you..."
"I've thought about it."
Mu Xiaoyu was about to find an excuse to cover it up and tell her not to overthink it, but just then, her mother suddenly spoke up.
As she spoke, she chuckled softly, as if laughing at herself, or perhaps at something else entirely.
“When Mu Pengzheng was arrested, I thought about whether I should go see him. But you know my current situation. If I really went to see him, I don’t know if I would still be alive.”
"So, I've been thinking about whether he's worth it or not these days."
