Chapter 112 Going to the Li Family Residence
They were going to the Li family's main residence that evening, so Li Chenxu and Mu Xiaoyu didn't linger outside for too long. After choosing a gift for Li's father, they also selected some more valuable gifts for the other elders of the Li family. As for the gifts for the younger generation, they also chose very thoughtful ones.
In the end, Mu Xiaoyu spent quite a bit of money in small amounts. Her savings were almost entirely used up after buying the gifts.
This also made Mu Xiaoyu realize once again that she was truly poor.
The two had already boarded the car to the Li family's house. Along the way, Li Chenxu looked at Mu Xiaoyu's worried face, and saw that her face practically screamed "I'm poor," which made him unable to help but chuckle.
He couldn't help but reach out and gently ruffle Mu Xiaoyu's hair twice: "You're so stingy with money, do you want your husband to help you out a little?"
"That won't do. I can spend my own money freely. Even if we're the closest of people, I can't always spend your money. Isn't your money the result of your hard work?"
Liking someone is one thing, but it's best not to spend too much of their money. Since you're financially independent, spending your own money is the best approach, in Mu Xiaoyu's opinion.
And this is precisely the point that Li Chenxu admires most about Mu Xiaoyu.
He had seen far too many women who desperately wanted to marry into wealthy families for power and riches, just to live a life of ease and luxury without giving anything in return. Women like Mu Xiaoyu were truly rare…
The two arrived at the Li family's main residence at just six o'clock in the afternoon. Compared to their last visit, the Li family's main residence was obviously much more lively this time.
When Mu Xiaoyu got off the bus, she looked through the gate and could vaguely hear all sorts of laughter and playful noises. There were clearly children, and they were quite loud.
Since Mu Xiaoyu married Li Chenxu, she has only met a maximum of ten members of the Li family. Among them, Mu Xiaoyu has only met many once, and can't even remember their names.
The thought of facing so many people later gave Mu Xiaoyu a headache.
It wasn't that she was afraid, but rather that she found it too troublesome. The Li family already had a bad impression of her, and with so many people around, she didn't know how much effort she would have to put in to argue with them.
"Don't worry, I'm here for you."
At this moment, Li Chenxu suddenly took Mu Xiaoyu's hand, as if it were full of magic, instantly giving Mu Xiaoyu a lot of courage.
Mu Xiaoyu nodded heavily, grasped Li Chenxu's hand in return, and then the two walked into the mansion.
Before coming, Mu Xiaoyu had imagined countless possibilities, but she never expected that Xu Sulin would be there too. When she saw Xu Sulin chatting and laughing with the women from the Li family, Mu Xiaoyu's expression immediately became somewhat strange.
It's not that I'm jealous, it's just that I think... Xu Sulin is way too shameless...
While at the hospital, although Li Chenxu didn't explicitly tell Mu Xiaoyu that he wanted to teach Xu Sulin a lesson, his meaning was quite clear in his words and actions.
If Mu Xiaoyu were Xu Sulin, after doing so many wrong things, she would at least try to avoid Li Chenxu when he returned to the country for her own safety. But Xu Sulin is different; not only did she not hide, but she now swaggers into the Li family home. She's truly an amazing person.
However, Mu Xiaoyu didn't have time to think too much at the moment. From the moment she and Li Chenxu entered the door, the originally lively living room suddenly became quiet, and most people's eyes were on Mu Xiaoyu and Li Chenxu.
When they looked at Li Chenxu, their eyes were filled with awe, but when they looked at Mu Xiaoyu, their eyes were filled with undisguised contempt.
Mu Xiaoyu was already used to such looks, and now she was quite open-minded. There was no need to waste her emotions on people she didn't care about. So, when faced with the contemptuous looks from the Li family, Mu Xiaoyu even smiled at them with good temper this time.
Before coming, she specially changed into a bright yellow dress, temporarily curled her short hair which had grown a bit longer, and put on delicate light makeup. She looked playful and cute, which she didn't usually have. With her generous smile, she looked more like someone from a wealthy family than those so-called noble ladies.
Seeing Mu Xiaoyu like this, many people's expressions immediately changed. If Mu Xiaoyu were angry, they might have made a few sarcastic remarks, but now that Mu Xiaoyu was so dignified, they couldn't find any fault with her at all.
The expressions on everyone's faces changed rapidly, making for a truly fascinating scene.
If Mu Xiaoyu hadn't made all sorts of preparations beforehand, she almost couldn't help but burst out laughing at their hilarious expressions. Li Chenxu, standing to the side, clearly found the scene quite amusing as well. His expressionless face when he entered finally gave a soft chuckle when he saw Mu Xiaoyu's suppressed laughter.
Li Chenxu's smile was too abrupt. Everyone present was a shrewd person who had made a living in the business world and various other situations. Many of them understood that Li Chenxu's smile was directed at them, and their expressions immediately turned ugly.
"What are you laughing at! We told you to come earlier, but you're so late. The whole family has been waiting for you two!"
At this moment, Li's father came down from upstairs, scolding Mu Xiaoyu sternly while looking at her with a gloomy gaze.
He didn't like Mu Xiaoyu to begin with. This time, Mu Xiaoyu went to Country D with Li Chenxu and almost caused the only son of the Li family to die out. The fact that he didn't kick Mu Xiaoyu out in public is already giving her face!
After being coaxed by his father, Li Chenxu stopped laughing and his expression remained indifferent, clearly not taking his father's words to heart.
The father and son's relationship wasn't bad, but it certainly wasn't good either. In addition, Li's father had always treated Li Chenxu this way since he was a child, so much so that the father and son often appeared arrogant and domineering to outsiders.
To be honest, Li Chenxu's attitude today is much better than before, and it has far exceeded everyone's expectations.
"Let's go over there first."
Li Chenxu glanced at his father once before looking away. As he spoke, he took Mu Xiaoyu's hand and tried to lead her inside.
"Wait, we haven't given them the gifts yet."
Mu Xiaoyu grabbed Li Chenxu's hand, then let go of his hand after saying this. She took the tea set she had bought for Li's father, ran up to him, and looked at him with a generous smile, saying, "Dad, I heard you like tea. This is a tea set that Chenxu and I specially picked out for you today. I hope you will like it."
