Chapter 62 I do not accept your apology
Chen Lan did not answer Mu Xiaoyu immediately. Upon hearing this, she first pushed the file bag in front of her towards Mu Xiaoyu before saying, "Sister Xiaoyu, please take a look at these first."
Mu Xiaoyu didn't know what Chen Lan was up to, but since she had come, she wanted to find out. So she didn't say much, silently took the file folder and opened it.
However, upon seeing what was inside, Mu Xiaoyu's expression suddenly darkened. Even when she was furious and angry after being framed by Wu Qianru, Mu Xiaoyu had never looked so sinister, to the point of sending chills down one's spine.
Chen Lan seemed somewhat afraid of Mu Xiaoyu like this. Seeing this, she couldn't help but shrink back and stammered, "Sister Xiaoyu... I..."
"What? Chen Lan, did you take these photos?"
By this time, Mu Xiaoyu had finished looking through the contents of the file folder. Actually, there wasn't much inside; it was mostly filled with some of Mu Xiaoyu's more private photos. Seeing these photos made Mu Xiaoyu realize how careless she had been before, being secretly photographed without even noticing!
Mu Xiaoyu's face was extremely pale, while Chen Lan looked like she was about to burst out of bed, appearing quite pitiful.
If Mu Xiaoyu hadn't known what he had done, she would have really felt sorry for her!
"I took these photos, but Sister Xiaoyu, I really know I was wrong. I called you here today to explain!"
"An explanation? Then tell me, I want to hear your explanation!"
It's said that two people who are together for a long time will become more and more alike. What's more, Mu Xiaoyu and Li Chenxu, who have such strong auras, have been together for so long, they will inevitably pick up each other's habits to some extent. In addition, Mu Xiaoyu herself is an extremely strong woman, and now with her cold face, no one dares to look her in the eye.
Chen Lan didn't dare look Mu Xiaoyu in the eye. Hearing this, she lowered her head slightly and stammered, "Sister Xiaoyu, actually... Chen Hao and I are half-siblings. But we don't get along at all! It's true. If you don't believe me, you can ask the people at the magazine. They all know!"
Mu Xiaoyu remained silent, her sharp eyes fixed on Chen Lan, carrying an indescribable pressure. She couldn't possibly sever ties based on just a few words from Chen Lan; she would listen to what Chen Lan said, and of course, she would investigate.
But no matter the outcome, she could never trust Chen Lan as she had before.
After all, if Chen Lan really cared about her, he wouldn't have taken those private photos of her without her consent!
Seeing that Mu Xiaoyu remained silent, Chen Lan's eyes darkened. She lowered her head slightly and continued, "Before following Sister Xiaoyu, I had a boyfriend. At that time, my boyfriend was sick and needed surgery, and he urgently needed money. I had no choice but to turn to Chen Hao. At that time... Chen Hao promised to give me money, but on the condition that I do something for him..."
At this point, Chen Lan looked up at Mu Xiaoyu, her eyes already brimming with tears: "Back then, Chen Hao told me that he liked Sister Xiaoyu and wanted to pursue you, so he wanted me to stay by your side and monitor your movements. At that time, I desperately needed money, and Chen Hao repeatedly assured me, so I..."
"So you agreed to him, right?"
Mu Xiaoyu picked up where Chen Lan left off, and couldn't help but laugh as she said this, her gaze towards Chen Lan filled with mockery.
She sized Chen Lan up and down. The girl was simply dressed, yet possessed the youthful energy expected of her age. It was also clear that while her clothes weren't luxurious, they certainly weren't cheap. She should have been a good girl who walked the straight path, but instead, she had done something like this.
Perhaps others would find Chen Lan's actions understandable, but in Mu Xiaoyu's eyes, it was all just an excuse.
Just by looking at Chen Lan's clothes, she didn't believe her family couldn't afford her boyfriend's surgery. Besides, in her eyes, violating her moral principles for this, regardless of the reason, was the same thing!
Mu Xiaoyu didn't want to listen to Chen Lan's nonsense, and her expression was already showing some impatience: "I don't want to hear about the past. Just tell me directly what you want to do by calling me here today."
In the past, Mu Xiaoyu's attitude towards Chen Lan, while not exactly enthusiastic, was extremely patient and gentle.
But now, all of that is gone; all that remains is domineering and impatience.
Chen Lan was taken aback by Mu Xiaoyu's reaction and stared blankly at her for a long while before hurriedly lowering her head and choking back tears, saying, "Ever since Chen Hao's affair was exposed... I only... only then did I realize that Chen Hao had been lying to me all along, and I only then realized that I was really wrong... These past few days I've been hesitating about whether to confess to Sister Xiaoyu. Sister Xiaoyu, I really know I was wrong, can you forgive me this time?"
Mu Xiaoyu didn't know if Chen Lan was acting or not, but the way she looked right now really made her seem like she knew she had repented.
Unfortunately, once bitten, twice shy, Mu Xiaoyu could no longer truly forgive her.
So upon hearing Chen Lan's words, Mu Xiaoyu remained silent for a few seconds before saying, "Chen Lan, I'm not a saint, I can't forgive you so easily. You should know my husband's identity. Do you know what these photos you took would mean for us if they were leaked? I don't accept your apology, and... don't you think your apology is far too cheap?"
Having said that, Mu Xiaoyu's patience had run out. She stood up, without waiting for Chen Lan's reply or even glancing at him again, and turned to leave the coffee shop.
Chen Lan remained seated, motionless, lost in thought. After a while, she suddenly looked in the direction Mu Xiaoyu had left, her eyes flashing with unpredictable emotions...
When Mu Xiaoyu came to meet Chen Lan, she told Li Chenxu the meeting place. To her surprise, when she went out, she saw Li Chenxu leaning against the car door waiting for her.
On that handsome face, a faint yet heartwarming smile immediately appeared when he saw Mu Xiaoyu appear.
The moment Mu Xiaoyu saw Li Chenxu, the gloom in her heart vanished. She quickly ran towards Li Chenxu, grabbed his wrist, and said happily, "Why did you follow me?"
