The CEO is Too Fierce: My Adorable Wife Needs Taming

Chapter 309 Uneasy

Chapter 309 Uneasiness

It was obvious that Mu Pengzheng and Mu Xiaoyu's mother had something they didn't want Li Chenxu and the others to hear, so after settling the two of them together, Mu Xiaoyu and Li Chenxu went out.

Meanwhile, inside the house, Mu Pengzheng and his companion stared at each other, neither of them speaking first.

Mu Peng's eyes still held the same obsessive madness, but for some reason, his eyes reddened when he saw Mu Xiaoyu's mother's extremely weak appearance.

"Have you been like this, half-dead, for the past few years?"

Hearing this, Mu Xiaoyu's mother finally reacted. She looked up at Mu Pengzheng, then suddenly laughed, a hint of mockery in her voice: "So what if that's the case? Isn't this what you wanted to see most?"

In the past, whether in front of Mu Xiaoyu or Mu Pengzheng, she always had a gentle and serene demeanor. But now, when she speaks, and when she looks at Mu Pengzheng, her eyes are filled with intense hatred.

Mu Peng was probably seeing her like this for the first time. He was stunned for a few seconds, then burst out laughing: "You've changed! You've really changed!"

"Mu Pengzheng, no matter how you treated me back then, I never hated you. But you were so ruthless as to try to harm your own flesh and blood. You're not even human. The thing I regret most in my life is that I ever married you!"

Mu Xiaoyu's mother was speaking weakly, but even so, she managed to say what was on her mind in one go.

She knew her own body better than anyone. Even if she hadn't come to see Mu Pengzheng today, she wouldn't have lasted much longer.

Mu Xiaoyu's guess was correct; her mother did indeed still have feelings for Mu Pengzheng. It was precisely because these feelings remained even now that her hatred for Mu Pengzheng deepened.

However, she now knew very well that this was not the time to dwell on past grievances with Mu Pengzheng. While she was still alive and still had some use, she would do her best to protect her child.

Mu Peng was stunned for a few seconds, not expecting her to say such things. Then his eyes narrowed and his gaze toward Mu Xiaoyu's mother turned sinister and vicious.

He stared intently at the other person, lost in thought, before finally speaking: "So what if you regret it? Whether it was before or now, you will always be mine. Let me tell you, if you're lucky, I might get away with the death sentence this time. But if I have a chance to come out alive, even if you die, I will take you with me, understand?"

As Mu Pengzheng spoke, his eyes were fixed on Mu Xiaoyu's mother, and he looked like a demon. In an instant, she was reminded of the scene when Mu Pengzheng had brutally treated her and her daughter.

Mu Xiaoyu's mother's hands, which were placed on either side of the wheelchair, suddenly clenched tighter. Thinking of the purpose of her visit, she forced herself to calm down.

Her throat tightened, and finally, looking at Mu Pengzheng, she spoke with difficulty, "I know what you're thinking. I hate you, but I also understand my current situation. Mu Pengzheng, I don't care what you want to do to me, but you have to let Xiaoyu go. She's our child, my only reason for being in this world. You can't hurt her. If you really don't listen, believe me, even if I die, I won't let you find me?"

Mu Xiaoyu's mother had exhausted herself, and by the end of her speech, she was completely drained. Even looking at Mu Pengzheng was difficult for her.

Mu Pengzheng was about to get angry, but when he saw her weak appearance, he immediately frowned.

"Are you threatening me?"

"Weren't your previous words a threat to me?"

Mu Xiaoyu's mother immediately retorted. After speaking, she gave Mu Pengzheng a weak smile and continued, "Actually, before coming here, I thought of countless things to say to you, but before I came, I realized that no matter how much I said, it would be useless to you. If I want you to let Xiaoyu and the others go, if I want you to help Xiaoyu and the others, this is the only way."

"Mu Pengzheng, we've been entangled for decades, but my feelings for you have never changed. The reason we've become like this is entirely because you've never trusted me..."

It was half an hour later when Mu Xiaoyu's mother finally came out. During that time, Mu Xiaoyu and Li Chenxu had been waiting outside the house without exchanging a single word.

Mu Xiaoyu kept a close eye on the sounds inside the house, fearing that Mu Pengzheng might do something to her mother. Li Chenxu, on the other hand, kept a close watch on Mu Xiaoyu's movements, also worried that Mu Xiaoyu might become too emotional and affect his health.

Everyone present breathed a sigh of relief when they saw that Mu Xiaoyu's mother had come out unharmed.

Li Chenxu quickly stepped forward to support the wheelchair, asking with concern, "Auntie, are you alright?"

As soon as he finished speaking, the other doctors who had been waiting nearby rushed over to examine Mu Xiaoyu's mother.

"I'm fine, I'm just a little tired."

Mu Xiaoyu's mother's health wasn't very good to begin with, and even if she was alright, the doctors didn't dare say it in front of Mu Xiaoyu. So they could only vaguely say, "Madam is fine, just a little weak, about the same as before..."

Mu Xiaoyu was tense and her head was a little fuzzy, so she didn't understand the doctor's implied meaning. Now that she heard the doctor say this, she really thought her mother was alright.

She breathed a sigh of relief, knelt down in front of her mother, and took her hand: "Mom, are you alright?"

"I'm fine, didn't the doctor just say that?"

After saying that, she smiled slightly at Li Chenxu. She really didn't have the strength to answer Li Chenxu's question just now, and Li Chenxu must have noticed it. At this moment, his thick black eyebrows furrowed slightly, and a thoughtful look flashed in his eyes.

"Let's take Auntie back to the nursing home first, and we'll talk about other things later."

Li Chenxu noticed something was wrong with Mu Xiaoyu's mother and immediately spoke up. Mu Xiaoyu was taken aback for a moment, but without hesitation, she stood up and, together with Li Chenxu, helped her mother into the car.

Because the car carrying Mu Xiaoyu's mother was equipped with specialized medical equipment and was very crowded, and there were also doctors inside, it was inconvenient for Li Chenxu and the others to sit together.

So after seeing Mu Xiaoyu's mother off, the two of them got into another car by themselves.

“Brother Chenxu, I don’t know why, but even though my mom just said she’s fine, I still feel a little uneasy.”
