Chapter 444: Don't Show Off
“I didn’t mean to hide it from you. I just wanted you to calm down first. Besides… Song Yin, you need to calm down. You’re a big star, after all. If you get angry too easily, you’ll get pimples.”
"I'm naturally beautiful and never get pimples, don't interrupt me! Tell me!"
Song Yin glared fiercely at Mu Xiaoyu. If it weren't for the fact that Mu Xiaoyu was injured, she probably would have slapped him right then and there.
Mu Xiaoyu was now completely cowering, afraid of angering Song Yin again, so she didn't dare to hesitate any longer and said directly, "It's just that Li Chenxu and I got divorced. He didn't believe it and even called me to scold me before, but I shut him down. That very night, he kidnapped me and took me back to the Li family's old house."
"When?"
"It was the night before... you called me to talk about Li Chenxu and Bai Luo."
When Mu Xiaoyu said this, her little head was hanging down the whole time. She didn't have the slightest courage to look at Song Yin, and her voice was so soft that it was almost inaudible.
At this point, she hardly needed to say anything more; what she had said before was enough to make Song Yin so angry that she almost couldn't catch her breath.
Judging by the timeline, Mu Xiaoyu has been recovering from her injuries for at least a week, but even now, you can still vaguely see bruises and marks on her face. Even if Song Yin didn't see how serious Mu Xiaoyu's injuries were at the time, she could still imagine it.
But she didn't know any of this!
At this moment, anger filled Song Yin's chest and abdomen, almost making her explode.
She was angry with Mu Xiaoyu for not telling her these things. She was also angry with the Li family and Bai Luo, because all the harm Mu Xiaoyu suffered was caused by these people!
Song Yin was truly enraged this time, and remained silent for a long while.
Mu Xiaoyu was afraid that Song Yin might get upset and harm her health, so she quickly put Song Yin's hand on hers and said, "Don't be angry anymore. Anyway, it's all in the past. I'm not as useless as you say. Once these troubles are resolved, I will get back everything the Li family owes me. Don't worry."
"Even if we get it back, so what? It was real abuse!"
Song Yin truly felt sorry for Mu Xiaoyu. Although she and Mu Xiaoyu often argued and bickered, in Song Yin's heart, Mu Xiaoyu was a really good girl. Putting aside her appearance, she was very talented, kind-hearted, always considerate of those around her, and pure in her feelings.
Such a good woman, yet she was treated like that.
Even though she had already divorced Li Chenxu, she was still hurt by Li Chenxu's family!
She was so angry she was about to explode!
Song Yin took a deep breath, looked at Mu Xiaoyu holding her hand, and asked after a few seconds of silence, "Besides your face, are there any other injuries on your body?"
"There were some... but they're almost fully recovered now."
Mu Xiaoyu felt a little guilty; in fact, the injuries on her body were far more serious than the ones on her face. However, seeing Song Yin in her current state, she really couldn't bring herself to say the rest.
This time, upon hearing this, Song Yin merely gave Mu Xiaoyu a deep look and did not pursue the matter further.
"Alright, I know you don't want to bring this up either. Like you said, what's done is done, let it go. So tell me, what is it that you came to see me today?"
In Song Yin's view, the matter of Mu Xiaoyu being abused by Grandpa Li could not be left unresolved, but she would not mention it to Mu Xiaoyu's face. Such things had to be done discreetly, and she couldn't even tell Mu Xiaoyu herself, otherwise it would only cause her more trouble.
Mu Xiaoyu didn't quite believe that Song Yin would really let it go like that, and couldn't help but look at Song Yin with a puzzled expression.
"What are you looking at? Would I lie to you?"
Upon seeing Mu Xiaoyu's questioning gaze, Song Yin immediately glared at him fiercely. Mu Xiaoyu already felt indebted to Song Yin, and now that Song Yin had given him that look, he dared not say anything. Hearing this, he quickly shook his head and said, "Nothing, nothing... I came here to ask you if, when you sent them to monitor Bai Luo and Li Chenxu last time, you saw Li Chenxu and the others interacting closely with anyone else, or if there was anything unusual about it?"
Mu Xiaoyu certainly wouldn't ask these questions without a reason; there must be some special reason behind them. Song Yin knew that too many things had happened in the past year, and both Li Chenxu and Mu Xiaoyu were carrying burdens that many ordinary people could not bear in their entire lives.
So when Song Yin heard Mu Xiaoyu say that, she immediately became serious.
She sat up straight, frowning as she carefully recalled the events.
To be honest, when Mu Xiaoyu asked her to send someone to follow Bai Luo and Li Chenxu, although she knew it was reasonable, she still couldn't quite accept it.
So, although he had his trusted subordinates at home do the job of having Bai Luo and Li Chenxu followed, he himself was unwilling to pay attention to it until he got the photos and then called Mu Xiaoyu.
Looking back at those photos now, it seems that there weren't many other people in them.
Song Yin was a little unsure. After thinking for a moment, she said to Mu Xiaoyu, "Oh, I'm not sure. Here's what I'll do: I'll call the people who were monitoring Bai Luo and Li Chenxu right now and ask them to give you all the photos they have and Li Chenxu's recent schedule. Take a look yourself. If there's anything you need me to do, just call me or come find me."
Mu Xiaoyu nodded, without saying anything polite to Song Yin. Otherwise, it would make the two of them seem distant.
It must be said that Song Yin's subordinates were extremely efficient. Within half an hour of the phone call, they brought over all the materials they had on hand, and at the end, they also compiled a list of the people and events they had seen and told Mu Xiaoyu and the others everything.
However, Mu Xiaoyu didn't find anything amiss in what these people were saying. So in the end, Mu Xiaoyu accepted the photos and materials they had brought, intending to study them slowly when she got back.
Then wait for Assistant Lin to get the information. Once the two sides combine their information, they might be able to find some useful clues.
"Mu Xiaoyu, there are some things I've said before, but I still want to say them again: no matter what happens, remember, never be reckless, understand?"
