The CEO is Too Fierce: My Adorable Wife Needs Taming

Chapter 442: I'm willing to help you

Chapter 442: I'm willing to help you

Mu Xiaoyu had no interest in Li Chenxu's important friends or business partners before, so when Li Chenxu said he would take her out to meet these people, Mu Xiaoyu was not interested and basically never went.

Therefore, Mu Xiaoyu's memory of the people around Li Chenxu was very vague. Even after thinking it over and over, she could only recall a few people.

"Who else is there...?"

Looking at the blank sheet of paper in front of her with only a few names written on it, Mu Xiaoyu felt like her head was about to explode.

She rubbed her temples, trying hard to recall.

However, at that moment, something seemed to happen to her, and a look of surprise suddenly appeared on her face. The next moment, she took out her phone and dialed Lin Zhu's number.

Ever since they began to have doubts about Lin Zhu, not only Li Chenxu on the shore, but even Mu Xiaoyu, hardly ever spoke a single word to Lin Zhu again.

It was indeed a bit sudden for her to call Assistant Lin at this time, but since she had just divorced Li Chenxu, it wouldn't arouse too much suspicion from Assistant Lin if she tried to get information about Li Chenxu from him.

"Mrs?"

Lin Zhu was clearly surprised that Mu Xiaoyu would call him at this time. When he answered the phone, his tone was even somewhat incredulous.

Upon hearing this, Mu Xiaoyu gave a curt "hmm" and, without saying anything more, went straight to the point: "Assistant Lin, there are some things I need your help with."

"Just tell me what you need, my dear wife. I'll do whatever it takes to help you."

"Really? You should know about my divorce from Li Chenxu, right?"

Mu Xiaoyu feigned anger, her tone even carrying a hint of sarcasm, leaving Assistant Lin on the other end of the phone speechless for a moment. After a while, she stammered, "Ms. Mu, I do know about your divorce from Mr. Lin, but in my heart, you will always be Mr. Lin's wife."

"In that case, will you do what I ask you to do?"

"I will do anything I can."

Lin Zhu answered with a serious expression, but Madam O'Ah couldn't help but sneer inwardly. If she didn't know that Lin Zhu had already betrayed Li Chenxu, she might have been overjoyed to hear Lin Zhu's words.

Now, hearing these words only makes the other person seem disgusting and hypocritical.

However, Mu Xiaoyu didn't show any of this. After a moment of silence, she slowly said, "I'm not willing to divorce him. If you're willing to help me, I want to know who he's been close to before and recently. I want to know about him from other people. I'm not willing to just divorce him like this!"

As Li Chenxu's assistant, Lin Zhu knew all too well how good the relationship between Mu Xiaoyu and Li Chenxu used to be, so it wasn't surprising that Mu Xiaoyu would say such a thing now.

However, as Li Chenxu's assistant, it would be somewhat unreasonable for him to directly help Mu Xiaoyu, bypassing his level.

Lin Zhu had been sidelined by Li Chenxu for quite some time, and Li Chenxu had only recently begun to reuse him. If something unexpected were to happen at this critical juncture, his fate would likely be even worse than before.

For a moment, Lin Zhu began to hesitate.

Sensing Lin Zhu's hesitation and silence, Mu Xiaoyu suddenly sneered and lowered her voice, saying, "You just said you would help me with anything you could do, and now you're already regretting it after such a short time? Lin Zhu, aren't you being too cowardly?"

Mu Xiaoyu was beautiful. When Lin Zhu first saw Mu Xiaoyu, he was just as amazed as Li Chenxu. However, he knew that Mu Xiaoyu was Li Chenxu's woman, so he always restrained his feelings.

Even so, she still developed some romantic feelings for Mu Xiaoyu.

Now that Mu Xiaoyu was speaking to him in this tone, Lin Zhu naturally couldn't refuse anymore.

So this time, Lin Zhu didn't hesitate for long before saying to Mu Xiaoyu with a serious expression, "Madam, I can help you with this. But I need you to promise me that no matter what, you can't tell Mr., otherwise we might both be finished."

“Of course. Since you’re willing to help me, how could I possibly let Li Chenxu know?”

Mu Xiaoyu immediately agreed. Lin Zhu was very useful to her now, and she couldn't afford to offend or anger him easily.

Hearing Mu Xiaoyu's assurance, Assistant Lin did not hesitate much this time and said directly, "Madam, I can only do my best to do what you just mentioned. As you know, I made some mistakes at the end of last year, which caused Mr. Lin to lose trust in me. Now, it is not as easy as before to find out some things."

"I understand all of that. Just be careful."

After giving Lin Zhu a few more words of advice and care, Mu Xiaoyu hung up the phone. After breakfast, she needed to take her medicine and let her injuries heal as soon as possible so that it would be beneficial for her future actions. Otherwise, she felt disgusted with her current sickly body.

The lunch Bai Ye ordered for Mu Xiaoyu arrived on time at noon. As Mu Xiaoyu had mentioned this morning, the portion was a bit smaller, but the quantity was still plentiful, and every dish was designed to aid Mu Xiaoyu's recovery.

If it weren't for these few incidents, Mu Xiaoyu would never have realized that Bai Ye was such a thoughtful person.

If Bai Ye had treated her this well when she was first reborn, she might have fallen for him.

Unfortunately, all her affection is now reserved for Li Chenxu alone.

Sometimes people are just so contradictory. Even when they're completely disappointed in someone, their feelings for that person don't diminish in the slightest. Someone who's so principled in other matters, however, completely abandons all principles when it comes to someone they like.

If it were the old Mu Xiaoyu, betrayed by Li Chenxu and her best friend, she would have done everything in her power to get revenge on them, instead of trying to help Li Chenxu out of his current predicament like she is now.

Even she herself finds it funny to think about how she looks now.

Humans are truly fickle and unprincipled creatures.

So what if that's the case? In this life, whether you live well or badly, you live for yourself. Do what you want to do. You only live once, so why think so much?
