Chapter 493: Some things can't be overcome.
"No need, didn't we say we had something to talk about?"
Li Chenxu refused outright and walked over to the sofa to sit down. He loosened his tie somewhat impatiently and looked at Old Master Li with indifferent eyes.
Li Chenxu was already over thirty years old. Before Li Chenxu was born, the old man had children, but no one knew whether it was because he had committed too many sins or because those children were really unlucky. None of them survived. They either died in a car accident or died of illness.
When Li Chenxu was born, Old Master Li was already in his forties. Now, decades later, he is approaching eighty. However, Old Master Li has always been in good spirits, so it's easy to forget his real age when looking at him.
But now, I don't know if it's because I'm really getting old or what, but I've lost my energy and my back has become hunched over. I really look old.
Li Chenxu looked at Old Master Li indifferently, his cold gaze making it seem as if he didn't consider Old Master Li his biological father at all.
Indeed, aside from the blood relation, what aspect of them resembles that of father and son?
Li Chenxu hadn't forgotten what happened with Lei Chao before; back then, Old Master Li had wanted to take Lei Chao's life to atone for his sins.
Thinking of this, Li Chenxu's gaze toward Old Master Li grew even colder.
"Chen Xu, what are you and Mu Xiaoyu planning to do? You're divorced now, so you probably don't plan to remarry, right?"
If this person weren't Mu Xiaoyu, but someone else, regardless of who it was or whether their status was worthy of the Li family, Old Master Li wouldn't care anymore.
But this person is Mu Xiaoyu, so it won't work.
Not only do Li Chenxu and Mu Xiaoyu remember how ruthless Grandpa Li was to Mu Xiaoyu, but Grandpa Li himself also remembers it.
What if Li Chenxu still has feelings for Mu Xiaoyu, and what if the two want to remarry? What if Mu Xiaoyu whispers sweet nothings in Li Chenxu's ear and then seeks revenge?
He's getting old, especially lately, and he seems to lack the strength to do many things.
What he wants most now is to enjoy the rest of his old age.
However, if Li Chenxu still intends to remarry Mu Xiaoyu, this will likely be difficult to achieve.
Looking at the obviously uneasy old man in front of him, Li Chenxu wondered when he would ever show this side of himself in front of his son.
There are many Chinese proverbs that say that the evil deeds people commit will often be punished, it's just that the time hasn't come yet.
Now, it's time for Old Master Li to pay for the sins he committed.
Li Chenxu looked at Old Master Li with a mocking expression and said bluntly, "I know what you're thinking, and I know what your purpose is in asking me these questions. I'll just tell you directly now. It's only a matter of time before Mu Xiaoyu and I remarry. I haven't forgotten what you did to Mu Xiaoyu back then."
Seeing the old man's suddenly pale face, Li Chenxu's mockery deepened. He paused, then smiled with satisfaction and continued, "Actually, I should thank you for disregarding the already thin bond between us. Since you attacked me back then, I won't hold back when necessary. But don't worry, at least for now, I'm busy and don't have time to deal with you. However, I will make you pay for everything you did to Mu Xiaoyu."
"Li Chenxu! I am your father!"
Old Master Li was trembling with anger at Li Chenxu's words. His cloudy eyes glared at Li Chenxu. If it were before, he might have already struck him with his cane. But now, he didn't dare.
Now, in every aspect, he and the rest of the Li family all have to rely on Li Chenxu.
His other sons were utterly incompetent; if they relied on them, the Li family would likely fall. They could only depend on Li Chenxu.
Now, no matter what Li Chenxu says, they have to endure it.
Li Chenxu calmly observed Old Master Li, his expression unchanged. He wasn't worried at all that Old Master Li would harm him. As clever as he was, he could think of everything Old Master Li could think of.
“Chen Xu, I know I’ve done a lot of wrong things in the past. But now, I know I was wrong, and I feel remorseful for the mistakes I made. You are my own son, isn’t it better to let bygones be bygones?”
Only someone as carefree as Old Master Li could say something like that: just let it go like that? He certainly has a good idea.
Putting aside the matter of Mu Xiaoyu, just consider how many things a father should do and how much responsibility a father should fulfill since Li Chenxu was born? If it weren't for Li Chenxu's own deep and intelligent mind, it's questionable whether he would even be alive now.
Li Chenxu couldn't help but laugh, his smile was very bright, but that bright smile did not reach his eyes.
He just looked at Old Master Li and said directly without saying anything unnecessary, "I won't let the past go. You can go back to the past, but I can't. If you have nothing else to say, then I'll be leaving now. Cherish the days you have now, otherwise, things might not be so easy in the future."
Li Chenxu's words were already very harsh, severing all the affection between father and son.
Old Master Li watched helplessly as Li Chenxu left, his face ashen.
He had never thought there was anything wrong with what he had done before, but at this moment, he suddenly realized how many mistakes he had made...
With Mu Xiaoyu's advice, the post-production of the film progressed much faster than before. Although Mu Xiaoyu invested some more money herself, the final product did achieve the effect they had originally wanted.
The film's production is basically complete. Once it passes censorship, we can discuss cooperation with theaters and find a good time to release it. Then everything will be finished.
Although this movie is a suspenseful horror film, everything is within the scope of what is permitted in China.
However, a problem arose during the review process. It is said that during the review, one of the people in the review team suffered a heart attack and was admitted to the intensive care unit after watching the movie.
Regardless of whether this is a problem with the film or not, if this gets out, it will definitely not do the film any good.
When Mu Xiaoyu received the call, she was making soup for Li Chenxu. She had been bringing him meals every day for some time now, but she wouldn't say she was the one bringing them. After bringing them so often, Li Chenxu would occasionally eat them once or twice.
I was in a pretty good mood, but when I received this news, my heart sank to the bottom.
