Chapter 175 Take everything back
"What did you say last time? What did you say?"
Mu Xiaoyu clearly didn't understand why Bai Luo would suddenly apologize to her, and she had no recollection of what Bai Luo had said.
"It was... at the book signing the day before yesterday..." Bai Luo's voice trailed off, filled with guilt. If she weren't a little thick-skinned, she probably would have hung up the phone long ago.
However, upon hearing her words, Mu Xiaoyu immediately recalled what Bai Luo had said to her that day. But Mu Xiaoyu hadn't taken Bai Luo's cautiousness to heart at all.
So upon hearing Bai Luo's words, Mu Xiaoyu chuckled helplessly, not bothering with any pretense, and said directly to Bai Luo on the other end of the phone, "Alright, it's all in the past now, let's not talk about it anymore... Want to hang out tomorrow? I've made plans with Song Yin..."
The matter was temporarily put aside, and Bai Luo immediately became excited when the topic of Song Yin and the comic adaptation came up on the other end of the phone. She actually liked Song Yin a little, but compared to Mu Xiaoyu, she was just a casual admirer; her favorite was still Mu Xiaoyu.
Now that everyone has the opportunity to play together, Bai Luo naturally won't let it pass.
After agreeing, he chatted with Mu Xiaoyu for a while before hanging up the phone.
Mu Xiaoyu thought she and Bai Luo hadn't talked for long, but when she hung up the phone, she realized that almost an hour had passed.
She used to dislike making phone calls, partly because there was hardly anyone to call, and partly because she thought it was a waste of time. Now she realizes she was missing out on so much fun.
Perhaps because she had seen Song Yin, perhaps because she had reconciled with Li Chenxu, or perhaps because of the phone call she had with Bai Luo, Mu Xiaoyu was in an unusually good mood this afternoon.
In one afternoon, Mu Xiaoyu finished all the manuscripts she had missed the previous two days. Not only was she fast, but the quality was also exceptionally good. Mu Xiaoyu sent these chapters to her editor, who was just as curious about what would happen next, much like her fans who followed her comics.
Everything went too smoothly today, and Mu Xiaoyu was in a great mood. It was so good that it almost felt unreal.
Really, that's great...
Originally, Li Chenxu was supposed to come back to have dinner with Mu Xiaoyu that evening, but for some reason, Grandpa Li called Li Chenxu back halfway through the meal.
Because the incident happened so suddenly, Li Chenxu didn't have time to invite Mu Xiaoyu along. So before he left, he sent Mu Xiaoyu a text message telling her not to wait for him that night and to eat well.
Mu Xiaoyu would never let herself go hungry now; yesterday was just an accident. So when she received Li Chenxu's text message, Mu Xiaoyu couldn't help but laugh at Li Chenxu's nagging.
When Li Chenxu returned to the Li family's main residence, it wasn't late, not even seven o'clock yet. As soon as he entered the gate, he could hear laughter and cheerful voices inside, and among them, some familiar sounds could be faintly heard.
Upon hearing this, Li Chenxu's brows furrowed immediately.
He took a deep breath, didn't think much of it, and quickly walked into the house. Sure enough, the people in the house this time were not only Old Master Li and his family, but also some members of the collateral branches of the Li family, most of whom were young people. More importantly, Xu Sulin was also among them.
It hasn't been long since the last incident, when Old Master Li was furious. Now, so little time has passed, and Xu Sulin is back at the Li family's main residence, chatting and laughing with Old Master Li and others.
Seeing this, Li Chenxu's already unpleasant expression darkened instantly: "What are you doing here?"
It was obvious who he was addressing. Upon hearing Li Chenxu's words, the previously laughter-filled living room instantly fell silent. None of the younger generation present were unafraid of Li Chenxu, and now that he had acted this way, no one dared to speak.
Xu Sulin's expression was slightly embarrassed, but it only lasted a few seconds before she quickly returned to normal. She had come prepared this time, so she could handle whatever Li Chenxu said.
Fortunately, Xu Sulin had managed to appease Old Master Li beforehand, so upon hearing Li Chenxu's words, he immediately rebuked him angrily: "You brat! What are you saying! Sulin came all the way here today to apologize to us, how can you talk like that!"
"apologize?"
Li Chenxu scoffed dismissively, then glanced at Xu Sulin with disdain before loosening his tie and sitting down on the sofa: "What did you call me here for?"
He didn't want to waste any time with Xu Sulin. This woman was too scheming, and he didn't know what had happened before he came. At this time, keeping silent was the best option.
When Grandpa Li heard Li Chenxu's words, his expression changed slightly. It was unclear what he was thinking. After a while, he covered his mouth and coughed lightly, saying, "I called you here for two things... First, it's about Su Lin, and second... it's about those things Mu Xiaoyu bought for us last time. Take them back to her directly. The things are too valuable, and we don't need them for the time being."
When he gave gifts to Old Master Li and the Li family last time, their opinion of Mu Xiaoyu had changed a lot. Now, so many days have passed, and he's being asked to take those things back. If no one is causing trouble, Li Chenxu simply won't believe it.
Thinking of this, Li Chenxu subconsciously looked at Xu Sulin beside him, his eyes filled with sharpness and ruthlessness.
What did you say to them?
The few words seemed to be squeezed out from between his teeth, carrying a chilling coldness.
Xu Sulin trembled upon hearing this. She glanced at Li Chenxu, then quickly lowered her head, looking terrified, and whispered, "Brother Chenxu... I... I really didn't say anything..."
"Enough! This has nothing to do with Su Lin, it was my own decision! You are taking those things back today no matter what!"
It seems that Old Master Li is determined this time. If there was still a slight possibility of accepting Mu Xiaoyu as a daughter-in-law of the Li family before, his current actions have completely eliminated that possibility.
If Mu Xiaoyu saw those returned gifts, I wonder how heartbroken she would be...
Thinking of this, Li Chenxu's expression grew even more gloomy.
