Chapter 355 Doesn't this seem familiar?
By the time the two finished discussing everything, it was already six in the morning. Mu Xiaoyu had stayed up almost all night, and her health wasn't great to begin with, so she fell into a deep sleep again in the morning. When she woke up again, Li Chenxu was no longer beside her.
There was a sticky note on the bedside table with a message from Li Chenxu.
"I've already had someone secretly investigate Lei Chao's matter. Until then, I'll pretend I know nothing about it. I won't do anything until I find a solution that satisfies both sides. You stayed up so long with me last night, so get some rest at home today."
The long passage ended with a rather clumsy heart shape.
Mu Xiaoyu was amused by Li Chenxu's loving words and couldn't help but chuckle. She carefully kept the note Li Chenxu had left for her. She had a small box specifically for keeping the messages Li Chenxu left for her; it was filled with all the messages he had ever left for her.
From the first note Li Chenxu left her, she carefully kept all of them. When they are old, these will be part of their memories.
She chooses to forget bad memories, but she tries to preserve the good ones.
With the Lunar New Year just around the corner, Mu Xiaoyu and Li Chenxu made a pact that after Li Chenxu finished dealing with his company matters, the two of them would go shopping for New Year's goods.
Mu Xiaoyu had never had this experience before, so after washing up and eating, she started to look up some information and made a detailed list of the New Year's goods she wanted to buy.
"Madam, people from the old house have arrived."
Mu Xiaoyu had just finished writing down the last item of New Year's goods to buy when the maid suddenly came in and respectfully said to her.
Upon hearing this, Mu Xiaoyu paused in her actions. Without even looking at the maid's expression, she asked without raising her head, "Who is it?"
"He's a man a little younger than my wife. I've never seen him before. When he came, they just said he was from the old house."
"So you just let him in?"
This time, Mu Xiaoyu finally looked at the maid who had spoken, but the sharpness reflected in her eyes in that instant sent chills down one's spine.
The maid trembled and stammered, "People from the old house called him when he arrived, that's why they let him in..."
Mu Xiaoyu is becoming more and more like Li Chenxu. Her imposing presence, even without anger, is enough to terrify these timid maids.
Even with this explanation, Mu Xiaoyu was clearly still dissatisfied. She gave a heavy, cold snort: "Even if Brother Shenxu is from the Li family, the place we're staying at isn't the Li family's. Even if someone from the Li family calls and says they're from the Li family, they're not allowed to come in without Brother Shenxu's and my permission. I'll let it go this time, but if this happens again, don't blame me for being ruthless!"
"Yes……"
The maids lowered their heads even further. Mu Xiaoyu was becoming more and more terrifying. If they, the maids who came from the Li family's old house, still had some bias towards the old house before, now that Mu Xiaoyu had done this, they no longer dared to have those thoughts at all.
Otherwise, you won't even know how you died.
After the two finished talking, Mu Xiaoyu didn't rush downstairs. Instead, she organized the New Year's shopping list, tidied up her desk, and then went downstairs at a leisurely pace.
By this time, it had been almost half an hour since the people from the old house arrived. Mu Xiaoyu's actions were clearly intended to give them a hard time.
Mu Xiaoyu originally thought that the people who came this time were people she had seen in the old house before, but after going downstairs, she found that she had never seen the people downstairs before.
Mu Xiaoyu stopped in her tracks. She frowned as she looked at the man below, scrutinizing his features. Finally, as if struck by a sudden thought, her expression changed abruptly.
The next second, Mu Xiaoyu turned to go upstairs, but before she could take that step, the man downstairs saw her.
"Miss Mu."
The other person called out to Mu Xiaoyu, and this time, even if Mu Xiaoyu wanted to pretend she didn't see it, it would be impossible.
Mu Xiaoyu was speechless. At this crucial moment, she was still so slow. If she had been faster, the other party might not have even noticed her coming down yet. She could have easily fooled them by making up an excuse that she wasn't feeling well.
But now that people have already spotted her, no matter how unwilling she is, she has no choice but to go downstairs.
Mu Xiaoyu turned around expressionlessly without answering. Only when she walked up to the man did she give him a nonchalant look: "Who are you? I don't think I've seen you before at the Li family."
The man who came from the old house this time looked a few years younger than Mu Xiaoyu, at most in his early twenties. He was handsome, with a smile on his face, like an ordinary young man who was just good-looking.
It was precisely this young man who set off alarm bells in Mu Xiaoyu's heart.
The reason is simple: this young man looks just too much like Li Chenxu.
In addition, Li Chenxu had just told her last night that Grandpa Li had other children, so Mu Xiaoyu naturally became wary when she saw someone who looked so much like Li Chenxu.
"Miss Mu will find out who I am in a moment. But the main purpose of my visit this time is to pass on a message to Miss Mu."
As he spoke, the man suddenly looked at the other servants in the room.
Seeing his expression, Mu Xiaoyu immediately understood what he meant. She glanced at the other maids behind her and said to them, "You may all leave now."
There are security cameras inside the house; this person wouldn't be foolish enough to do anything to her.
After all the maids had left the room, the man chuckled and continued, "I had heard that Miss Mu was clever, and now that I see it, it's certainly true."
"Alright, stop with the nonsense and just say what you want to say."
Seemingly surprised by Mu Xiaoyu's bluntness, the other person paused for a moment, then laughed. When Mu Xiaoyu first met him, she thought he might be a naive young man like Bai Luo.
But now it seems she was being too naive.
Especially when the other person was looking her up and down with a smile on their face, it gave Mu Xiaoyu a very greasy feeling, which made her feel disgusted.
But the other party was completely unaware of this, and instead seemed to have a high opinion of themselves.
"Miss Mu, don't you find my face familiar?"
