Chapter 259: Dislike me?
Chapter 259 Do you dislike me?
Xu Sulin's affection for Li Chenxu had reached a pathological level. When she learned that the two had crossed paths and were even going to get married, Xu Sulin wanted to return from abroad. However, her family had confiscated her passport at that time, and she only returned a few months ago.
Otherwise, if she had returned when Mu Xiaoyu and Li Chenxu got married, there would probably have been even more misunderstandings between them, and they might not even be able to be together now because of Xu Sulin's interference.
So during the years that Xu Sulin was unable to return to China, she used all the resources she had, along with those of the Xu family, to investigate Mu Xiaoyu's background. She basically investigated everything Mu Xiaoyu had experienced from childhood to adulthood, as well as her family background and other aspects.
Naturally, she was also well aware of what had happened to Mu Pengzheng back then.
“I couldn’t get into the prison, but I had people monitoring my movements outside, so I was one of the first people to know when Mu Pengzheng came out.”
Upon hearing Xu Sulin's words, Mu Xiaoyu was completely stunned. Aside from those who colluded with Mu Pengzheng, Xu Sulin was, in truth, the first person to know that Mu Pengzheng had left prison.
If Xu Sulin had told them about it back then, so many troubles wouldn't have happened later.
Upon thinking of this, Mu Xiaoyu was instantly consumed by rage.
She squinted, her gaze turning sinister as she looked at Xu Sulin, gritting her teeth as she said, "Xu Sulin, do you know how many people you've caused trouble by choosing to conceal Mu Pengzheng's escape from prison?"
"Trouble? Even if there is trouble, isn't it all your fault?"
Xu Sulin had calmed down by now. After Mu Xiaoyu finished speaking, she immediately retorted sarcastically, "Mu Xiaoyu, don't you think about why Mu Pengzheng did those things? Everything he did was aimed at you. Even if the people around you are hurt, it's because of you. How can you say this now?"
If it were the Mu Xiaoyu from before her rebirth, she might have gotten angry upon hearing Xu Sulin's words. But the current Mu Xiaoyu remained much calmer upon hearing Xu Sulin's words.
She looked at Xu Sulin with icy eyes and said, word by word, "I know you don't need to tell me these things. And have you ever considered that you might be among the people I've been in contact with? Besides, you keep saying you like Li Chenxu, but have you ever considered that when Mu Pengzheng comes out, the first person he might hurt might not be me, but Li Chenxu?"
Upon hearing this, Xu Sulin's expression finally changed.
She frowned as she looked at Mu Xiaoyu, seemingly pondering his words.
"Don't forget, Shen Xu and I are husband and wife. If Mu Pengzheng really wants to harm me, he would have to get rid of Shen Xu first before he can actually do anything to me. Before you said these words, Shen Xu and I have suffered countless times. Although it is not yet certain whether Mu Pengzheng did those things, it is only a matter of time before he targets Shen Xu."
As Mu Xiaoyu spoke, his expression became increasingly sharp and serious.
Xu Sulin was not an empty-headed fool. After hearing Mu Xiaoyu's long explanation, he immediately understood the implications.
Instantly, his expression, which had been filled with hatred and jealousy, changed.
Seeing this, Mu Xiaoyu discreetly observed Xu Sulin for a moment. Seeing that her nervousness seemed genuine, she continued, "If you really like Shen Xu, you should think about him. To be selfish, even if you want to be with Shen Xu, at least give him the chance. If he's gone, how can he be with you?"
Mu Xiaoyu wasn't actually good at saying these things, but these were basically her true feelings. She had died once, and if she were to confront Mu Pengzheng alone, she wouldn't be afraid.
But she was worried about the people around her, including Li Chenxu and Bai Luo, and even others in the future, who would be hurt because of her. That was what she feared most.
She will never see any of these things again.
After listening to Mu Xiaoyu's words, Xu Sulin remained silent for a long time, his head down, his expression inscrutable, and it was unclear what he was thinking.
Mu Xiaoyu didn't urge Xu Sulin to answer. She glanced at Li Chenxu beside her, who nodded at her. The next second, Mu Xiaoyu said to Xu Sulin, "Think it over carefully. We'll let you go back for now. Don't even think about telling anyone about what happened today. You should know very well that if we really wanted to deal with you, it would only be a matter of lifting a finger. If you've thought it through, just come find us later."
After saying that, Mu Xiaoyu gave a wink to the bodyguards next to her, signaling them to release Xu Sulin.
It was obvious that Xu Sulin had really taken Mu Xiaoyu's words to heart. Even now that he was free, he didn't leave immediately and seemed completely lost.
Mu Xiaoyu and the others have already done what they needed to say and do.
Even at this point, Mu Xiaoyu's disgust for Xu Sulin remained unchanged. Therefore, she had no interest in seeing how Xu Sulin was doing, and seeing this, she simply pulled Li Chenxu away from the basement.
As soon as you step outside, fresh air rushes in.
Mu Xiaoyu took a deep breath, feeling a sense of relief she had never experienced before. She hadn't used a handkerchief while talking to Xu Sulin, and the unpleasant smell in the basement was even more pronounced, almost suffocating her.
Thinking of this, Mu Xiaoyu couldn't help but look at Li Chenxu with a resentful expression and said, "Brother Chenxu, you don't even let anyone clean the basement. It stinks to death."
Mu Xiaoyu's words made Li Chenxu both amused and exasperated. He reached out and pinched Mu Xiaoyu's soft cheek, saying helplessly, "You little rascal, don't you think about what kind of place this basement is? Can you just let anyone in? What if something goes wrong? Besides, if you're going to interrogate someone, you should at least make the place look proper, shouldn't you?"
Actually, this was the first time Mu Xiaoyu had come across something like this. She had seen it on TV before and always thought it was a bit exaggerated, but now that Li Chenxu had said it, it seemed to make some sense.
So Mu Xiaoyu nodded, thought for a moment, and then pulled Li Chenxu aside with a serious expression and said, "Actually, this is good. It can help you overcome your obsessive-compulsive disorder about cleanliness. We've been married for so many years, and I don't even know what our bed sheets look like. We change them every day. I've never seen an ordinary person do this."
