Chapter 24 Father Li's Phone Call
Wu Qianru wasn't born into a wealthy or noble family, but as Li Chenxu had said before, she was willing to use her body to obtain money and status. Naturally, her living conditions wouldn't be too bad.
She was in a relatively upscale residential area in the west of the city, where privacy was quite good. Given what had happened, unless it was a media outlet with extremely powerful connections, it would be impossible for them to get in.
Mu Xiaoyu had been here once or twice before, and her memory was pretty good, so she quickly found Wu Qianru's place.
She didn't tell Wu Qianru when she came, so when Wu Qianru opened the door and saw Mu Xiaoyu, her face turned ashen, and the words she spoke seemed to be squeezed out from between her teeth.
"Mu Xiaoyu! How dare you even show your face here!"
Wu Qianru looked terrible. When she woke up in the middle of the night and saw that she was the one lying next to Zhao Yan, she had a bad feeling.
Sure enough, as soon as she and Zhao Yan walked out of the mansion, people started pointing and whispering about them. At that time, she hadn't seen the news and didn't know what had happened.
However, just as she was about to get home, a group of people suddenly appeared out of nowhere and started cursing at her. Not only that, they also started hitting her! At this point, her face was covered in bruises, looking extremely unsightly.
Mu Xiaoyu didn't rush to talk to Wu Qianru. Instead, he looked her up and down, and after seeing her ugly side, he smiled with satisfaction and looked down at her, saying, "Wu Qianru, tell me, why was I embarrassed to come over? Yesterday, you were planning to let me sleep with Zhao Yan, weren't you? Not only did your wish fail, but you were also bitten in the back. Now you're like a rat crossing the street. Aren't you angry and embarrassed?"
When Mu Xiaoyu spoke these words, her tone was calm and unhurried, and her expression revealed no emotion. However, her eyes held a clear sense of disdain and sarcasm. Her entire demeanor was completely different from the foolish Mu Xiaoyu of before!
At this moment, Wu Qianru realized that Mu Xiaoyu was really different from before.
Mu Xiaoyu might have known about what happened yesterday, and even the things that happened at the banquet and at her house were all intentional on Mu Xiaoyu's part!
Wu Qianru's face turned pale with anger, and her eyes glared at Mu Xiaoyu as if she wanted to kill her. At this moment, she no longer cared about acting or pretending, and raised her hand to strike Mu Xiaoyu.
However, before one hand could fully touch the other, Mu Xiaoyu kicked it away hard.
Mu Xiaoyu's etiquette classes during this period were not for nothing. In addition to courses such as tea ceremony and flower arrangement, there were also horseback riding and archery, which also required a certain level of physical strength. After this period of training, Mu Xiaoyu was no longer the weak girl she used to be. Whether psychologically or physically, Wu Qianru was no match for her.
"Wu Qianru, even now, can't you see the situation clearly? You're right, if you were smart enough to see it, you wouldn't have ended up like this. I won't beat around the bush with you anymore. I came here today to see you make a fool of yourself. I'm very happy to see you like this. And I also want to tell you, don't be in a hurry, this is just the beginning. There will be even more 'surprises' waiting for you in the future."
Having said that, Mu Xiaoyu walked up to Wu Qianru, squatted down, patted Wu Qianru's face twice, and said with a smile, "How about it? Aren't you looking forward to it?"
Wu Qianru almost cursed out loud, and even planned to fight Mu Xiaoyu with all her might, but as soon as Mu Xiaoyu finished speaking, the bodyguards that Mu Xiaoyu brought appeared behind Mu Xiaoyu.
These bodyguards were personally selected by the butler; they were the most skilled fighters. Even without a fight, their appearance alone was intimidating. Wu Qianru was someone who bullied the weak and feared the strong, and upon seeing them, she immediately trembled with fear and dared not utter another word.
Seeing Wu Qianru trembling with fear, Mu Xiaoyu felt bored. She stood up, gave Wu Qianru a disgusted look, pouted, said nothing more, and turned to leave.
Now that Wu Qianru has gotten into this mess, she'll probably be busy for a while. At least for now, she won't have to think about dealing with Wu Qianru anymore and can finally get some rest.
Unfortunately, things in life rarely go as planned.
Just as Mu Xiaoyu returned home and was preparing for her etiquette class in the morning and afternoon, she received a call from Li's father.
It's unclear how the other party found out about Mu Xiaoyu and Li Chenxu's previous desire to divorce, but when they called, they didn't give Mu Xiaoyu a chance to speak at all and immediately scolded her.
The other person was her elder and Li Chenxu's father. Even though Li's father didn't like her, she couldn't do anything disrespectful. So, no matter how angry Mu Xiaoyu was, she didn't say anything in rebuttal.
She wasn't afraid; she just didn't want to argue with an old man.
"Tomorrow night, you and Shen Xu go back to the old house!"
Finally, Mr. Li left with these words, and without waiting for Mu Xiaoyu's reply, he slammed down the phone. Hearing the dial tone, Mu Xiaoyu felt both annoyed and amused.
What's infuriating is that she clearly didn't do anything wrong, but her father disliked her from the very beginning because of his status, and even now, after being married to Li Chenxu for so long, he has basically never given her a kind look.
The funny thing is, she now understands who Li Chenxu inherited his bad temper from. With such identical tempers, who would believe they weren't father and son?
Mu Xiaoyu was initially quite happy to have resolved Wu Qianru's matter, but a phone call from Li's father instantly wiped out her good mood.
She suddenly felt a little tired. After her rebirth, it seemed that she was thinking about how to get along peacefully with Li Chenxu every day, and was also constantly on guard against Wu Qianru who wanted to harm her. She had hardly thought about the future.
Even if she doesn't get a divorce now, will her father and the others agree to her staying with Li Chenxu forever?
Probably not, since Li's father has never liked her.
Although Li Chenxu is cold and aloof, he is very respectful to his elders. Apart from marrying her against his father's wishes, he has never been seen to disobey his father in any other matter.
If Li's father asked him to divorce her now, Mu Xiaoyu wasn't sure if Li Chenxu would agree...
