Chapter 433 Exploring the Bottom

Chapter 433 Exploring the Bottom

Upon hearing that Li Chenxu wanted to stay for dinner, the butler immediately agreed happily. After Li Chenxu hung up the phone, the butler excitedly told Old Master Li, who was reading the newspaper, "Master, the young master said he will be back later."

"Why is he back at this time? Is it because of that girl Mu Xiaoyu?"

"Sir, you've misunderstood. The young master said he has some official business to discuss with you. And he might even bring Miss Bai over tonight."

The housekeeper was a long-time member of the Li family, so she knew a fair share of the family's affairs, big and small. Now that she said this, Old Master Li didn't suspect anything. He merely gave a displeased snort and said, "He rarely calls home, only coming to the old house when something happens. Does he even respect me as his father?"

If Mu Xiaoyu were here today and heard what Grandpa Li said, she would probably point her finger at Grandpa Li and call him shameless. Anyone has the right to say that, except for Grandpa Li.

Li Chenxu had long since repaid the debt of gratitude that Old Master Li had shown him in raising him. But now, instead of settling down, Old Master Li wanted Li Chenxu to pay for the mistakes made by the previous generation.

Anyone with a modicum of self-respect would feel somewhat guilty or embarrassed in front of Li Chenxu. But this old man Li, on the contrary, acted completely open and honest, as if he hadn't done anything wrong. Even the butler, who had been with the Li family for decades, felt a little astonished.

So he didn't say anything more, quickly made an excuse, and left.

After making the call to the old house, Li Chenxu arrived at the old house in less than ten minutes.

Upon seeing Li Chenxu return, those in the old house who hadn't seen him in a long time immediately showered him with concern and greetings. Unfortunately, Li Chenxu remained the same as before, treating them with indifference and coldness, completely unlike how one would treat family.

When Old Master Li saw Li Chenxu return, he remained seated on the sofa with a detached expression until Li Chenxu walked up to him and called him "Father," at which point he finally looked at Li Chenxu.

"You said you had something to tell me when you got back. What is it?"

Li Chenxu glanced at Old Master Li. From the moment he entered the old house, his eyes had been subtly observing the house, looking for anything amiss.

However, as expected, nothing seemed amiss.

Now, Li Chenxu looked at Old Master Li, who seemed no different from usual, and after a few seconds said, "It's about the company."

After saying that, he sat down next to Old Master Li: "I left the Li family before because of Mu Xiaoyu. But now that I'm divorced from her, there's no reason for me not to return to the Li family. Besides, I promised you before that I would come back."

When Li Chenxu said this, his tone was indifferent, and he looked the same as before, truly a cold and indifferent person.

Old Master Li still couldn't quite believe that Li Chenxu truly had no feelings left for Mu Xiaoyu. Hearing Li Chenxu's words, he scrutinized him before saying, "You've really fallen for that girl from the Bai family? You really have no feelings left for Mu Xiaoyu? Li Chenxu, if I remember correctly, you almost fell out with the family for Mu Xiaoyu, and you even left the Li family for her. I remember all of that very clearly. Now you say you don't like her anymore? How can I believe you?"

"Dad, when did you become so concerned about my love life?"

Li Chenxu replied calmly, but his words made Old Master Li freeze instantly. Yes, if nothing else was wrong, and as long as Li Chenxu's new crush didn't harm the Li family's interests, given his previous personality, he wouldn't have interfered.

Grandpa Li realized something was wrong with him, and it took him a while to relax his stiff body. He gave a heavy snort and said, "I'm afraid you'll regret it later and do something foolish like before!"

"I will not regret it. You should know that I am never an impulsive person."

"That's good..."

At this moment, Grandpa Li finally began to believe that Li Chenxu might have truly let go of his feelings for Mu Xiaoyu. However, if that were the case, then new troubles would arise.

In truth, he already had a vague idea of ​​who Lei Chao's child was, but he didn't have concrete evidence yet. If the affair between Li Chenxu and Bai Luo was true, perhaps Li Chenxu could still have survived.

In a short time, a thousand thoughts raced through Old Master Li's mind.

"So what are you planning to do now? Has the Bai family made any statement?"

After a long silence, Old Master Li finally spoke again. Compared to when he mentioned Mu Xiaoyu, Old Master Li's tone was noticeably gentler when he talked about the Bai family.

Li Chenxu saw all of this, and when he recalled what Mu Xiaoyu's mother had said to him and the things she had left him, the chill in his heart intensified.

Honestly, if he hadn't met Mu Xiaoyu, he might never have known what true family love was.

The word "family affection" sounds simple, but it's not so easy to truly embody it.

At least in the Li family, from the beginning until now, Li Chenxu has never experienced any so-called family affection.

"Luo Luo and I haven't been together for very long. If we rush to meet the Bai family elders now, it might backfire. So we discussed it and decided to wait a while before going. If the Bai family elders don't have any objections by then, Luo Luo and I will get married."

Grandpa Li was clearly dissatisfied with Li Chenxu's answer. Upon hearing this, his eyes were full of reproach as he looked at Li Chenxu: "What do you mean by 'relatively short time'! You and that girl from the Bai family are truly in love. I've heard that she's favored in the Bai family. If you delay too long, it won't be good. I think this is better: you prepare first, and in a few days, you and Bai Luo will go to the Bai family to pay a visit. If the Bai family's attitude is good, then the two families can arrange a meeting to finalize your marriage."

As he spoke, Old Master Li seemed to remember something, paused for a moment, and then said, "You're not young anymore. After your marriage to the Bai family girl is settled, hurry up and have a child. Don't be like before, where you didn't want a child because the other party didn't want one, understand?"
