Chapter 470 The Collapse of Trust
Such an explanation was worse than no explanation at all, and Mu Xiaoyu's expression darkened even further. She was clearly furious inside, but she still pretended to be completely indifferent.
She glanced at Li Chenxu, then gave a soft "hmm" and said, "Go on."
"Are you not angry anymore?"
Li Chenxu didn't continue. He knew very well that Mu Xiaoyu already harbored many grievances against him. If he were to add even a little more negative impression to her mind, it would be like a wildfire. He had to resolve the issue before it escalated.
In the past, this would have been an easy task for Li Chenxu.
Unfortunately, given the current situation, Mu Xiaoyu simply won't cooperate with Li Chenxu.
Seeing Li Chenxu's cautious demeanor, she frowned at him with displeasure and said, "I'm angry? Li Chenxu, regardless of our current relationship, just tell me, am I really such a petty person?"
Li Chenxu really wanted to nod and say yes, but if he actually said "yes," even if Mu Xiaoyu was a very refined person, she would probably kick him. He wasn't that stupid.
Thinking of this, Li Chenxu covered his mouth and coughed lightly, then said seriously, "Of course not, I was just asking subconsciously. Let me continue..."
Mu Xiaoyu gave a lukewarm "hmm." She was incredibly agitated. Even without Li Chenxu saying anything more, she probably already knew what was going on. She just needed time to calm her turbulent emotions. That awful Li Chenxu had already left her utterly distraught, and now he was still stirring up her troubles!
Just as Mu Xiaoyu had thought, there really wasn't much more to say after that. The alliance between Li Chenxu and Bai Luo gradually gained the trust of the Bai family. However, during this time, Bai Ye consistently opposed the relationship between Bai Luo and Li Chenxu. Bai Ye's intuition was almost frighteningly accurate, but no matter how much he objected, since Old Master Bai had spoken, he couldn't say anything.
In order to make the Bai family more convinced of the relationship between Bai Luo and Li Chenxu, and in order to resolve the matter quickly and minimize the harm to Mu Xiaoyu, the two decided to get engaged and, if necessary, get married.
Fortunately, they obtained crucial evidence before getting married.
After confirming that the evidence was authentic and valid, Li Chenxu immediately handed it over to the person on the government's side.
The Li family is in business, while the Bai family is in politics. On the surface, Li Chenxu seems to be inferior to the Bai family in terms of government connections. However, Li Chenxu is not without connections in the government. After handing over the evidence to reliable people, he escalated the matter. Now, unless there is sufficient and conclusive evidence to prove the Bai family's innocence, this time, the Bai family truly has no chance of turning things around.
The investigation is now in its later stages, and the matter will be completely resolved in just a few days.
Having said that, Li Chenxu's gaze softened as he looked at Mu Xiaoyu, yet it also became more serious. He said, "Xiaoyu, I know you're worried about Bai Luo. Believe me, Bai Luo will be fine. It's just that she probably can't live the life she used to have. But that's her own choice."
Not only will her life be the same as before, but even if Bai Luo goes out to work in the future, she will likely face significant obstacles due to her family situation.
Perhaps to many people these things seem insignificant, but when you actually experience living in the clouds and then falling to the bottom, the huge blow and the gap between reality and reality are something that few people can bear.
Mu Xiaoyu fell silent. At this moment, she had no time to think about Li Chenxu. Her mind was filled with thoughts of Bai Luo, how to arrange Bai Luo's life in the future, and how to help her get out of this vortex.
Li Chenxu didn't say anything at this moment, but just quietly watched Mu Xiaoyu.
In fact, he knew exactly what Mu Xiaoyu was thinking, and he could even guess what Mu Xiaoyu wanted to do.
However, he wasn't worried. Even with Song Yin's help, Mu Xiaoyu couldn't do anything this time. After all, she wasn't facing ordinary people, but the national government.
There are many things that Li Chenxu can't explain to Mu Xiaoyu properly. Having been with Mu Xiaoyu for so many years, he knows very well that Mu Xiaoyu is actually an idealist. But ideals are one thing, reality is another, and many things simply cannot be changed by ideals alone. He wants Mu Xiaoyu to gradually understand this principle.
After an unknown amount of time, Mu Xiaoyu finally reacted. She slowly looked at Li Chenxu, opened her mouth, and murmured, "Now that the Bai family has been captured, what are you planning to do?"
"I will compensate Bai Luo within my capacity to make her life better for the rest of her time. As for the rest, Bai Luo will have to rely on herself."
"What about the Li family?"
When Mu Xiaoyu asked this question, the look in her eyes suddenly became somewhat sharp.
Strictly speaking, Mu Xiaoyu wasn't a vengeful person. However, the Li family had repeatedly hurt her. Last time, if Bai Ye hadn't appeared, she might have been killed by the Li family.
The Bai family's affairs are almost over, but if the Li family's situation isn't resolved, Mu Xiaoyu won't let it go so easily!
She believed in revenge; that was her guiding principle in life!
Upon hearing this, Li Chenxu paused for a moment, a hint of helplessness appearing in his handsome eyes. Whether he had other plans in mind or simply had no intention of doing anything to the Li family, he remained silent for a long while.
Seeing Li Chenxu's expression, Mu Xiaoyu's already lukewarm heart cooled even further.
She looked at Li Chenxu coldly, and said with a hint of sarcasm, "What? Don't know what to do? Or are you not planning to do anything? Oh right, I forgot, you should have seen how your father tortured me when he kidnapped me back to the Li family last time, right? Did you ever think about finding me out then? No, right? Otherwise, how would Bai Ye have had the opportunity to get me out?"
"Xiaoyu! I was the one who notified Bai Ye to come and rescue you last time!"
This time, Li Chenxu couldn't hold back and said sternly.
Upon hearing this, Mu Xiaoyu's expression froze, and her gaze towards Li Chenxu became slightly dazed. The next second, she suddenly burst into laughter, her laughter filled with obvious distrust: "You? Where's the evidence? What evidence do you have that you notified Bai Ye to come and rescue me?"
