Chapter 409 Funeral
Mu Xiaoyu thought Li Chenxu would explain, but after waiting for a long time, Li Chenxu didn't say a word. His appearance clearly indicated that he had tacitly agreed with what she had just said.
Instantly, the smile on Mu Xiaoyu's face vanished completely.
She stared blankly at Li Chenxu, her lips trembling as she asked, "Did you really do something to betray me?"
She didn't believe it. Li Chenxu was basically always with her. Even when he went to the company or did other things, she was always there. How could he possibly do something to betray her?
More importantly, at such a critical moment, how could Li Chenxu possibly have any other thoughts on this?
Mu Xiaoyu tried to convince herself with one reason after another, but no matter how many reasons she came up with, none of them could compare to Li Chenxu's silence.
At that moment, Mu Xiaoyu suddenly felt something inside her collapse.
Before this, she had never doubted Li Chenxu's feelings for her. She had even thought that even if she and Li Chenxu couldn't live out their lives peacefully, they could still be together forever.
Whether it's her feelings for Li Chenxu, or Li Chenxu's feelings for her.
She had always thought this way, and it had never changed.
But now, when she thinks about those things she used to think about, Mu Xiaoyu feels like she's a joke.
"Xiaoyu, I'll tell you about this after Auntie's funeral. Many things aren't what you think, and now is not the time to talk about these things."
Li Chenxu couldn't bear to see Mu Xiaoyu looking like she was both crying and laughing, so he quickly grabbed Mu Xiaoyu's hand and said...
He had barely touched Mu Xiaoyu's hand when she slapped it away.
“You’re right, now is not the time to talk about this. We can talk about it slowly after Mom’s funeral.”
After saying that, Mu Xiaoyu turned and left. The successive blows had left her completely devastated. With each unsteady step she took, it felt as if she were stomping heavily on Li Chenxu's heart.
He watched Mu Xiaoyu's retreating figure, closed his eyes with difficulty, and after a while opened them again, he chased after Mu Xiaoyu.
Previously, when Mu Xiaoyu was at her mother's family home, she fainted and did not see what her mother looked like when she died. Now, her mother's body has been re-dressed by a professional mortician, with light makeup on her face. She looks even more beautiful than when she was alive, and you can't tell at all that she is dead.
Mu Xiaoyu stood beside her mother's body, her blank eyes fixed on her dead mother, motionless.
It's like a soulless sculpture; in such a place where corpses are kept, it's incredibly eerie to look at.
The bodyguards standing outside felt a chill run down their spines seeing Mu Xiaoyu's condition. Some of the more outspoken ones couldn't hold back any longer and cautiously said to Li Chenxu in front of them, "Sir, Madam's behavior is really abnormal. Perhaps she should be taken for a check-up? She's been like this for a while..."
Before she could finish speaking, she was silenced by a cold glare from Li Chenxu.
Li Chenxu was always cold and even aloof to outsiders, but he treated his trusted confidants very well. Although he wasn't exactly warm, he never skimped on what they needed, and as long as they didn't make any mistakes, he wouldn't give them the cold shoulder.
This is the first time I've ever seen him with such a terrifying expression.
Everyone was frightened by Li Chenxu's appearance and didn't dare to say a word for a long time, keeping their heads down and pretending to be statues.
Mu Xiaoyu remained in the same position for an unknown amount of time before finally walking towards Li Chenxu. Because she had been in one position for so long, Mu Xiaoyu's steps were somewhat stiff.
Li Chenxu subconsciously wanted to help her, but as if remembering something, he immediately withdrew his hand halfway through.
"Let's bury Mom here at her parents' home. I just asked my third aunt and the others, and everyone in their family has a burial plot. We can bury Mom there. She doesn't have many friends, so let's keep things simple."
Mu Xiaoyu calmly recounted everything, her words even bordering on indifferent; she was a completely different person.
Li Chenxu looked at Mu Xiaoyu with a complicated expression, feeling both heartache and helplessness.
He didn't want to see Mu Xiaoyu become like this, but he knew very well that Mu Xiaoyu had no choice but to be this way now, otherwise who would protect Mu Xiaoyu when he was not around?
Even if he could send people to protect Mu Xiaoyu secretly, Mu Xiaoyu still had to handle many things.
So after a long silence, Li Chenxu finally nodded in agreement.
Li Chenxu's men are always quick to act. After Li Chenxu relayed Mu Xiaoyu's request, everything was ready in less than half a day.
Mu Xiaoyu watched her mother's body being cremated. Apart from crying at the very beginning when her mother committed suicide, Mu Xiaoyu didn't shed a single tear afterward. Her expression was blank, as if she were an outsider.
At this moment, watching Mu Xiaoyu's mother's ashes being buried in the cemetery, Mu Xiaoyu remained motionless, and even Mu Xiaoyu's mother's third sister was in tears.
No matter how great the grudges were in life, the person is now dead, and besides, their relationship was so good. Third Sister didn't really hate Mu Xiaoyu's mother. Now that the person is dead, how could she not be sad?
"Please don't cry. My mother did this because it was her own choice. For her, it might be a relief."
Seeing her third sister sobbing uncontrollably, Mu Xiaoyu finally spoke. She hadn't spoken in a long time, and now that she did, her voice was terribly hoarse.
The third sister glanced at Mu Xiaoyu, grasped her hand, and cried, "She's gone, what will you do now..."
These words made Mu Xiaoyu feel a little dazed. She had never thought that someone would think of these things for her at this time. She couldn't help but laugh, then looked at her third sister, her expression a mixture of laughter and tears: "What can we do? Just let it be. What else can we do? But don't worry, before my mother died, she specifically told me to take good care of you. Even if it's just for you, I will live on. You don't need to worry about me."
As Mu Xiaoyu spoke, she recalled the words her mother had said back then, and quickly regained her composure.
Because Mu Xiaoyu's mother had virtually no friends, there were few people at the funeral. After completing the necessary ceremonies, Mu Xiaoyu sent her third sister back home.
"There are still many things to take care of in the capital, so I can't bring you over for the time being. I'll bring you over when things are almost done."
