The CEO is Too Fierce: My Adorable Wife Needs Taming

Chapter 253 Exposed

Chapter 253 Expose

As Mu Xiaoyu spoke, her smile deepened. Without giving Xu Sulin a chance to speak, she continued, "Didn't you say you weren't afraid? Do you know what we're planning to do tonight?"

Xu Sulin's smile was already somewhat precarious, and upon hearing this, she stammered, "What...what should I do?"

"Want to know?"

Mu Xiaoyu suddenly stopped talking and instead asked Xu Sulin a question.

Actually, Song Yin and the others watching the commotion around them could clearly see that Mu Xiaoyu was teasing Xu Sulin. However, those involved are often blinded by their own perspectives, while bystanders see things more clearly. In addition, Mu Xiaoyu's current appearance was indeed somewhat creepy, so Xu Sulin didn't notice at all.

At this moment, they had completely fallen into Mu Xiaoyu's trap. Their eyes were filled with fear, yet they still wanted to look at Mu Xiaoyu. Looking at Song Yin and the others beside them, they almost couldn't help but laugh.

Xu Sulin's mind was in complete disarray because of Mu Xiaoyu's attitude. Her main purpose in coming here today was actually just to remind Li Chenxu and Mu Xiaoyu.

She wanted to tell them that she was no longer the Xu Sulin she once was. What happened with Song Yin was just the beginning. If Li Chenxu remained so stubborn, much more awaited them.

Unexpectedly, things have come to this point.

In that instant, Xu Sulin had no time to think about anything else. He simply nodded to Mu Xiaoyu and said somewhat stiffly, "Miss Mu, please speak frankly."

As soon as Xu Sulin finished speaking, Mu Xiaoyu moved away from her and didn't even look at her. While pulling Li Chenxu's hand and walking inside, she said, "It's nothing. I was just saying it casually. There's no other meaning behind it. Miss Xu, don't overthink it. Thinking too much about some things can make you age faster."

Even if Xu Sulin was stupid, she would understand that Mu Xiaoyu was clearly playing a trick on her at that time.

Instantly, the precarious smile on Xu Sulin's face vanished completely.

She glared at Mu Xiaoyu with a dark expression, as if she had made up her mind to tear off all pretenses, and said through gritted teeth, "Mu Xiaoyu, do you know what the consequences will be for offending me now? No matter how capable Brother Shenxu is, if the Li family runs into trouble because of you, the Li family will never accept you again!"

Upon hearing this, Mu Xiaoyu paused in her tracks. She turned to look at Xu Sulin but didn't say anything. Instead, she gave him a knowing smile, then looked at Li Chenxu beside her, smiled, and said, "Brother Chenxu, tell her what will happen if I offend her."

From the moment Mu Xiaoyu and Xu Sulin 'clashed', Li Chenxu had remained silent. He knew that Mu Xiaoyu was no longer the type to be bullied, and judging from her demeanor, he knew that she was probably trying to tease Xu Sulin, which was why he hadn't spoken earlier.

Only when Mu Xiaoyu asked him did he finally curl his lips into a smile, glance at Mu Xiaoyu, and then look at Xu Sulin.

When facing Mu Xiaoyu, Li Chenxu's eyes were gentle yet doting, but the moment his gaze fell on Xu Sulin, his dark eyes suddenly turned cold.

But as if he had just remembered something, Li Chenxu suddenly chuckled, a laugh that carried a deep-seated contempt.

Even without saying a word, just that smile was enough to utterly humiliate Xu Sulin.

"I'm afraid no one has told you who the most important shareholders of Li's Group are right now. Apart from my father, the largest shareholder is me. According to the rules of the board of directors, the shares I currently hold can easily force you to resign. Xu Sulin, do you know why I haven't said anything since you became the president of Li's Group? Because I don't care now, but if you still don't behave, I don't mind taking action."

Li Chenxu spoke lightly, but the warning in his words was palpable.

Xu Sulin clearly did not expect things to turn out this way. She had gone to great lengths to obtain the position of president of the Li Group, but she never imagined that there was such a truth behind it.

For a moment, Xu Sulin was stunned, staring blankly at Li Chenxu, completely unable to come back to her senses.

Li Chenxu never had much patience when dealing with other women. Seeing Xu Sulin's appearance, he clicked his tongue impatiently and then pulled Mu Xiaoyu away.

But just as Li Chenxu turned around, Xu Sulin suddenly grabbed him, and at the same time, his suppressed, sinister voice rang out: "Brother Chenxu, do you know how many people are afraid of Mu Xiaoyu right now? You think you can protect her now, but actually, it's just that those people haven't made a move on her yet. Do you know all this?"

The people in the courtyard, who had been laughing and joking, immediately fell silent upon hearing Xu Sulin's words.

The people in the courtyard were all close relatives and friends of Mu Xiaoyu and Li Chenxu. They were all well aware of what had happened to Mu Xiaoyu last time, and naturally, even those who knew nothing about Mu Pengzheng's affairs knew something about it.

Now that Xu Sulin has said these words, everyone's attention is focused on her, and their gazes towards her are even more somber than before.

There were at least a dozen people scattered around the courtyard, including the servants from the villa. At this moment, everyone looked at Xu Sulin with very gloomy eyes.

Even though Xu Sulin couldn't help but blurt out those words, she couldn't bear the looks in these people's eyes.

"What did you just say? Say it again."

At this moment, Li Chenxu suddenly spoke. Compared to the others, Li Chenxu's expression did not change. However, everyone else, including Xu Sulin, felt that the temperature around them seemed to drop the instant Li Chenxu spoke.

Xu Sulin looked nervously at Li Chenxu, her throat bobbing involuntarily. Finally, she stammered, "I...I...I have something to do, I'll go first..."

After saying that, she wanted to leave. But at this moment, not only would Li Chenxu not let her leave, but even the others in the courtyard would not let Xu Sulin go.

So Xu Sulin had only taken two steps when he was stopped by someone.

"Miss Xu, right? If you hadn't said those words earlier and wanted to leave, no one would have stopped you. But since you did, you can't leave until you explain yourself clearly today. I think you know everyone in the courtyard. With us around, it doesn't seem like it would be difficult for you to just disappear."
