Chapter 304 I Won't Agree

"Dad, what do you mean by that?"

"Didn't Shen Xu tell you about the request that Mu Pengzheng made?"

As Grandpa Li spoke, his shrewd eyes were fixed on Mu Xiaoyu, filled with a sharp glint.

Mu Xiaoyu kept her mouth shut and didn't say anything, frowning as she looked at Old Master Li, her unease growing stronger.

Since Li Chenxu didn't tell her about Mu Pengzheng's request last night, it's very likely that this request... isn't a good thing for her.

Now that Grandpa Li has come to her door, it's all to get her to fulfill this request.

In that instant, countless images flashed through Mu Xiaoyu's mind. They were all images of Li Chenxu protecting her, doting on her, and risking his life to safeguard her.

Even at this point, when the safety of the entire Li family was threatened, Li Chenxu still protected her.

In just a few seconds, Mu Xiaoyu had already made up her mind.

She closed her eyes, then opened them a few seconds later to look at Old Master Li, her eyes showing a hint of determination: "Dad, just tell me, what exactly is your request?"

Mu Xiaoyu's reaction was unexpected by Grandpa Li, but seeing Mu Xiaoyu's calm demeanor, Grandpa Li looked at Mu Xiaoyu with a hint of appreciation for the first time.

Without saying much nonsense, he said directly, "Mu Peng wants your mother to see her."

If it were simply a matter of seeing Mu Pengzheng, Li Chenxu would definitely agree. However, given Mu Xiaoyu's mother's current condition, it's simply not advisable for her to leave the sanatorium directly. Moreover, with Mu Pengzheng's sinister nature, if he were to see Mu Xiaoyu's mother and do something, she might very well lose her life.

Instantly, Mu Xiaoyu's face paled.

She instantly understood why Li Chenxu had kept this from her.

Seeing Mu Xiaoyu's face suddenly turn paler, a hint of pity flashed in Old Master Li's eyes, but it was fleeting, almost too quick to catch.

“Mu Xiaoyu, you are a member of the Li family. I also know about what happened between your mother and your mother back then. But think about it, over the years, how much has Shen Xu done for you? He has risked his life for you many times. Moreover, he saved your mother’s life. If it weren’t for Shen Xu, your mother would have been dead long ago.”

Old Master Li paused in his speech, looking at Mu Xiaoyu's somewhat distraught appearance, and hesitated for a few seconds before speaking again: "I know this is a difficult thing for you, but... think about Chen Xu, think about how many people are in our Li family. I promise you, as long as you agree, after this matter is over, I will absolutely not interfere in your affairs with Chen Xu."

The fact that Grandpa Li made this promise shows just how serious this matter is.

At this point, Mu Xiaoyu suddenly felt like laughing.

She looked at Old Master Li in front of her and finally smiled, but the smile didn't reach her eyes: "I know what you're thinking. You don't need to say anything more. I will never agree to this matter."

"you!"

Grandpa Li probably didn't expect Mu Xiaoyu to be so stubborn. He was stunned for a second, then immediately flew into a rage.

"What? Am I the right person to agree to this? Didn't you deny that I was a member of the Li family before? Now that something like this has happened, you're only coming to me now. Isn't it too late? Dad, I'm not feeling well. Please wait until Brother Chenxu comes back to talk to him."

After saying this to Grandpa Li with a blank expression, Mu Xiaoyu turned to leave.

"Think about this carefully, Mu Xiaoyu. Don't be ungrateful."

Grandpa Li was quite angry with Mu Xiaoyu. After saying this, he turned around and left.

Mu Xiaoyu remained motionless, still in the same position she had just turned around in. Especially when she thought about what Grandpa Li had said at the end, Mu Xiaoyu felt as if she had fallen into an ice cellar.

Of course she knew that one should not be ungrateful. Even if she spent her whole life repaying the kindness Li Chenxu had shown her, she probably could not repay it all.

She would be willing to go see Mu Pengzheng, or even die, to save the Li family.

But the person going was her own mother, who gave birth to her. How could she possibly let her go?

My eyes were sore and sore, but I couldn't cry no matter what I did.

"Madam, Assistant Lin just called and said that the master will be back soon."

Just then, a maid from inside the villa cautiously ran over and whispered to Mu Xiaoyu.

They all heard what Grandpa Li said, but they didn't know the truth of the matter. However, judging from Grandpa Li and Mu Xiaoyu's expressions, they knew that things were definitely not simple.

Mu Xiaoyu is in such a bad mood that they don't even dare to breathe loudly.

"Did Assistant Lin say what Brother Shenxu is doing back at this time?"

"They didn't say that, they just said the master would be back in a few minutes."

"I see."

Mu Xiaoyu said in a hoarse voice. After speaking, she reached out and patted her face hard to restore herself to normal before going upstairs.

If Li Chenxu knew why Old Master Li had come, she wouldn't pretend anymore. If he didn't know, then she didn't want Li Chenxu to know.

She knew very well that if Li Chenxu knew, he would definitely not let her mother go, and would not even let her get involved in such matters again.

But if that were to happen, she would really feel terrible...

Just a few minutes later, Mu Xiaoyu heard the sound of a door opening downstairs.

Then, Li Chenxu came upstairs looking travel-worn, and the moment he saw Mu Xiaoyu, he immediately hugged her tightly.

"sorry."

"Brother Chenxu, why are you apologizing to me?"

Li Chenxu's earnest apology instantly made Mu Xiaoyu laugh. She pulled away from Li Chenxu's embrace, looked at him helplessly, and said, "Did you know that Dad came to see me today? Is that why you rushed back?"

Li Chenxu nodded, seemingly not intending to hide anything from Mu Xiaoyu, and said directly, "I knew as soon as my dad arrived. I rushed back as soon as I received the news, but I was still a step too late."

Hearing him say that, Mu Xiaoyu felt somewhat helpless.

She turned her back to Li Chenxu, sighed, and after a while spoke, "Brother Chenxu, you could have told me this directly."

"I don't want you to worry, besides..."

Li Chenxu didn't say what he was thinking, but Mu Xiaoyu knew what he was thinking. His only thought was probably not to worry her.

"Actually, it's not me who agreed to this; the one who really agreed was my mother."
