The CEO is Too Fierce: My Adorable Wife Needs Taming

Chapter 473 They Can't Survive

Chapter 473 They Can't Survive

Only Bai Luo and Song Yin knew that Mu Xiaoyu had come to the Bai family, while the rest of the Bai family was unaware of it. Therefore, when Mu Xiaoyu appeared at the Bai family, Bai Ye and the others sitting in the living room looked at Mu Xiaoyu with surprise and disbelief.

"Xiaoyu? What brings you here?"

The first person to come over was Bai Ye. He truly loved Mu Xiaoyu. After the Bai family incident, he hadn't contacted Mu Xiaoyu again because he didn't know what the future held for the Bai family. If he truly loved Mu Xiaoyu, he shouldn't have any contact with her at this time, otherwise he would implicate her.

Having not seen Mu Xiaoyu for so many days, Bai Ye couldn't contain his joy at finally seeing her again.

Seeing Bai Ye like this, Mu Xiaoyu looked somewhat embarrassed. She hadn't contacted Bai Ye since the Bai family's incident. After all, even if Bai Ye had harmed Li Chenxu, he hadn't done anything to her. Besides, Bai Ye had been genuinely kind to her recently. Even if she had no feelings for him, she should at least show some concern for him considering how good he had been to her.

But now, she has completely forgotten about Bai Ye.

Mu Xiaoyu was a little embarrassed, but didn't want to hide anything, so she could only say, "I came to see Bai Luo and have some questions for her."

Now that the Bai family is in this state, even if Bai Ye is stupid, he can figure out what's going on. In all the days since the Bai family's incident, Li Chenxu hasn't visited Bai Luo once, or even made a single phone call.

Even the dumbest person would realize at this point that the affair between Bai Luo and Li Chenxu was just a charade.

Seeing Mu Xiaoyu's hesitant manner, Bai Ye smiled self-deprecatingly, but without any resentment. He looked at Mu Xiaoyu and said seriously, "She's upstairs. Go up."

"Bai Ye, I'm sorry."

Mu Xiaoyu thought for a moment, then looked at Bai Ye seriously and said, "I'm sorry." This apology was on her behalf.

Bai Ye chuckled softly upon hearing this, shook his head, and said nothing more.

Seeing this, Mu Xiaoyu didn't say anything more and quickly went upstairs to Bai Luo's room.

Before coming, Mu Xiaoyu had heard that Bai Luo seemed to be sick. When she went in, Bai Luo was lying in bed. She hadn't seen him for many days, and Bai Luo looked much more haggard.

Previously, Mu Xiaoyu genuinely regarded Bai Luo as her younger sister and her best friend. Therefore, when Bai Luo and Li Chenxu got together, Mu Xiaoyu felt more heartbroken and suffered more than the average person.

But now that she knows the whole truth, a wave of guilt and heartache washes over her.

At this moment, Mu Xiaoyu was in no mood to think about so much. She quickly walked to the bedside and hesitantly called out to Bai Luo.

Bai Luo was fast asleep. Hearing Mu Xiaoyu's voice, she slowly opened her eyes after a while.

She gave Mu Xiaoyu a weak smile and said in a hoarse voice, "Sister Xiaoyu, you're here."

"Bai Luo, are you stupid?!"

Mu Xiaoyu's voice was choked with emotion as soon as she spoke. If she hadn't prepared herself mentally before coming, she probably would have already burst into tears.

Bai Luo didn't say anything, but reached out from under the covers and took Mu Xiaoyu's hand.

"I'm sorry, Sister Xiaoyu, for making you so sad before. What happened between Mr. Li and me was fake."

"I know everything, Bai Luo. You're not allowed to apologize to me anymore. I told you before, you've never owed me anything. On the contrary, I'm the one who owes you something now, do you understand?"

Mu Xiaoyu gripped Bai Luo's hand tightly, her hand trembling. She had a bad feeling, as if something terrible was about to happen, and seeing Bai Luo like this only intensified that unease.

She has no other wish than for Bai Luo to be alright; nothing else matters. If anything were to happen to Bai Luo, she feared she would live with a guilty conscience for the rest of her life.

Bai Luo did not answer Mu Xiaoyu's question. She fell silent, and her dim eyes suddenly became distant, as if she was lost in some memory.

Looking at Bai Luo like this, Mu Xiaoyu was at a loss for words. Before coming here, she had even rehearsed what she would say to Bai Luo, but when she actually saw Bai Luo now, she couldn't say any of the words she was supposed to say.

"Time really flies, Sister Xiaoyu. Before we knew it, we've known each other for almost a year."

After an unknown amount of time, Bai Luo suddenly spoke. As she spoke, she looked at Mu Xiaoyu, and her originally dim eyes suddenly brightened as she was lost in beautiful memories.

She looked at Mu Xiaoyu, her eyes crinkling into a smile, and continued, "I've been a fan of yours ever since your debut. Before I met you, I always wondered how I could get to know you and how I could become your friend. I never imagined that after that autograph session, we would actually become friends. Even after so much time had passed, I still couldn't believe it."

At this point, Bai Luo's smile deepened. It was clear that she was truly happy during the time she was friends with Mu Xiaoyu; the deep joy in her eyes was evident to everyone.

But the more Bai Luo acted this way, the deeper Mu Xiaoyu's self-blame became, and the more heartbroken she felt.

Even at this moment, resentment towards the Bai family and Old Master Li reached its peak.

Clearly, they didn't have to end up like this. But because of the grudges of the previous generation, their generation has to pay the price. Tell me, what did Bai Luo, and even Li Chenxu and she, do wrong?

Mu Xiaoyu felt a pang of pain in her heart; she truly didn't have the courage to listen to Bai Luo continue.

Before Bai Luo could continue speaking, she quickly said, "Let's not talk about the past. What happened before is what will happen in the future. Bai Luo, nothing will change."

This time, Bai Luo shook her head, denying Mu Xiaoyu's words. She turned her head to the side, looked out the window, and murmured, "Sister Xiaoyu, there are many things you don't know. This time, the Bai family is under investigation not only for abuse of power, but also for other reasons. Perhaps you all think that the worst outcome for the Bai family is that my older brother goes to jail. But I know very well what awaits my brother, me, and the Bai family in the end."

At this point, Bai Luo looked at Mu Xiaoyu, his eyes deathly still: "Sister Xiaoyu, my brother and my grandfather won't survive. And I'll probably go to jail too. My life is probably going to end like this."
