Chapter 106 The Xu Family's Plans
If Mu Xiaoyu hadn't heard it with her own ears, she would never have imagined that such words would come from Li Chenxu's mouth.
Assistant Lin was clearly not expected Li Chenxu to say that. He was stunned for a moment, then stared at Li Chenxu with wide eyes, as if he thought Li Chenxu was joking.
It's no wonder that Mu Xiaoyu and Assistant Lin found this statement somewhat funny; after all, how could someone as serious as Li Chenxu possibly say something that sounded like a joke?
Moreover, Li Chenxu's expression was too calm, and his tone was light and airy. Who would dare to believe that he was telling the truth?
Even though Assistant Lin had followed Li Chenxu for so many years, he was still unsure whether Li Chenxu was telling the truth or not.
"Sir, were you... serious just now...?"
"Do I look like I'm joking?"
If circumstances allowed, both Assistant Lin and Mu Xiaoyu would have liked to agree. Because Li Chenxu's appearance and tone of voice really sounded like he was joking!
However, neither Mu Xiaoyu nor Assistant Lin showed their thoughts. Assistant Lin also demonstrated his excellent professionalism at this moment. Upon hearing this, he quickly composed himself, shook his head, and said seriously, "Then, sir, besides continuing to investigate the perpetrator, what else do we need to do now?"
"Keep an eye on Xu Sulin for now. As for dealing with the Xu family, we'll settle that after I'm discharged from the hospital and finish negotiating the business here."
Li Chenxu already had a general idea in mind, but because he needed to rest and recuperate due to his injuries, he didn't have the energy to deal with the Xu family, so he had to put the Xu family aside for the time being.
Upon hearing this, Assistant Lin immediately understood Li Chenxu's meaning. So he nodded, said no more, and left the ward after seeing that Li Chenxu had nothing else to explain.
As soon as Assistant Lin left, Mu Xiaoyu immediately turned to look at Li Chenxu and asked anxiously, "Are you really planning to deal with the Xu family?"
Although she had been married to Li Chenxu for several years, Mu Xiaoyu still didn't know much about the inner workings of the wealthy families. She only knew a tiny fraction of the Xu family's affairs. But even that tiny fraction was enough for her to understand that the Xu family was no ordinary family.
The Xu family is slightly inferior to the Li family, but in the upper echelons of the wealthy circles in Beijing, they are definitely among the top families.
Dealing with the Xu family is no easy task. Mu Xiaoyu knows Li Chenxu is very capable, but she is still worried. If Li Chenxu really does this, even if he manages to bring the Xu family down, what if Li Chenxu himself gets caught in the crossfire?
She did indeed hate, even loathe, Xu Sulin. But she didn't want to hurt Li Chenxu because of Xu Sulin.
However, what Mu Xiaoyu didn't know was that what Li Chenxu had just said was definitely not just a spur-of-the-moment thing.
The Xu family has been developing well in recent years, but it has always been overshadowed by the Li family. If the Li family wants to truly become the dominant force in the capital, they either need to form an alliance with the Li family through marriage or find a way to eliminate the Li family. Otherwise, even if another ten or twenty years pass, they will always be overshadowed by the Li family.
Therefore, for the past two years, the Li family has been trying to curry favor with Li Chenxu and the Li family, hoping for a marriage alliance between the two families. However, Li Chenxu has never agreed, and since Li Chenxu and Mu Xiaoyu had not yet reconciled at the time, the Xu family did not take any overly aggressive actions.
The recent improvement in the relationship between Li Chenxu and Mu Xiaoyu has finally alarmed the Xu family. This explains why Xu Sulin, who was doing well abroad, has suddenly returned.
Li Chenxu's words made Mu Xiaoyu's mood inexplicably heavy, but at this moment she couldn't think about it too much. Her head was still a little throbbing, and thinking too much always made her feel nauseous.
Li Chenxu's injuries were much more serious than hers. Mu Xiaoyu was worried about Li Chenxu's health and didn't want him to think about it anymore, so she said, "Don't worry about the Xu family's affairs for now. You should focus on recovering... Don't let any health problems fester..."
As she finished speaking, Mu Xiaoyu's voice trailed off, as if she were talking to herself, her voice filled with worry.
Upon hearing this, Li Chenxu looked at Mu Xiaoyu. Seeing her slightly furrowed brows and worried eyes, he noticed a hint of joy and relaxation in her expression.
Li Chenxu's injuries were indeed serious this time, but as long as the rift between him and Mu Xiaoyu was cleared up, he would be willing to get injured like this again...
Mu Xiaoyu's injuries weren't serious, and she was able to get out of bed and walk around after about two days. She was now in the same ward as Li Chenxu. Originally, Li Chenxu wanted to combine the two beds or change wards, but Mu Xiaoyu was worried about aggravating Li Chenxu's injuries, so she refused.
She's much better now, and spends most of her time sitting by Li Chenxu's bedside, talking to him, or quietly keeping him company, watching him handle work matters and hold video conferences with his subordinates.
“I just went outside for a look, the weather is really nice. The hospital has done a good job with the landscaping. Once you can get out of bed a little better, we can go outside and soak up some sun.”
While peeling an apple for Li Chenxu, Mu Xiaoyu said to him, "The doctor said that Li Chenxu is in good health. In another four or five days, his stitches will be removed, and then he can get out of bed and walk around."
They had been in the hospital for half a month, and lying in bed for so long wasn't good for their muscles. Mu Xiaoyu had even learned massage techniques from the caregiver these past few days, and she would massage Li Chenxu's thighs and calves every night.
Originally, this matter was to be handled by the caregiver, but the caregiver was a woman. Mu Xiaoyu wasn't jealous, but seeing others touching Li Chenxu all over made her feel a little strange, so she simply learned how to massage Li Chenxu herself.
Li Chenxu had just finished a video conference. Because he was lying down, the long meeting was not good for his eyes, and he rubbed his eyes uncomfortably. At this moment, he suddenly heard Mu Xiaoyu's words. He looked at Mu Xiaoyu, who was slightly lowering her head, and saw her carefully and somewhat clumsily peeling an apple for him. He couldn't help but laugh.
He nodded, then, remembering that Mu Xiaoyu hadn't seen it, he said, "Okay, once I can get out of bed, we'll go sunbathe..."
For some reason, she suddenly stopped halfway through her sentence, and the smile in her voice deepened: "Xiaoyu, if you keep peeling like this, there won't be any fruit left."
