The CEO is Too Fierce: My Adorable Wife Needs Taming

Chapter 129 Explanation

Chapter 129 Explanation

The caller was Li Chenxu. Given the magnitude of the incident, the bodyguards had contacted him immediately. Li Chenxu was already on his way, but still somewhat worried, he couldn't help but call Mu Xiaoyu even though he knew the matter was being addressed.

"Xiaoyu, how are you now? Are you hurt?"

Li Chenxu tried his best to keep his tone calm, but his slightly trembling voice still betrayed his emotions. This decisive and ruthless man in the business world, who would remain unmoved even if Mount Tai collapsed before him, only showed this side of himself when it came to Mu Xiaoyu.

Hearing Li Chenxu's voice, Mu Xiaoyu's heart instantly calmed down. Her tightly pursed lips unconsciously turned up slightly, and perhaps even she herself didn't realize how gentle her gaze was when Li Chenxu called.

That kind of person only reveals their most vulnerable side when facing the person they trust and rely on most.

Bai Luo, standing to the side, looked at Mu Xiaoyu with a hint of surprise in her eyes, followed by even greater fondness than before. She remained silent, simply standing quietly to the side, watching Mu Xiaoyu speak gently to the man on the other end of the phone.

Mu Xiaoyu's call with Li Chenxu didn't last long. She wasn't a fragile woman who would be easily discouraged by such a small thing, nor would she wallow in self-pity because of those harsh words.

So after finishing her call with Li Chenxu, Mu Xiaoyu immediately directed people to clean up the scene. This whole thing started because of her, and she had to give an explanation to everyone present, including herself.

"You guys help clean up the scene first, and when the police arrive, help take their statements. Also, get a copy of the surveillance footage immediately, make sure no one else gets it, and check the footage to see if any suspicious people have been there."

After hanging up the phone, Mu Xiaoyu immediately addressed the remaining bodyguards. Then, as if remembering something, she quickly looked at Bai Luo beside her and said apologetically, "I'm sorry, we'll have to postpone today's meal until next time. If you don't mind, how about we exchange contact information, and I'll treat you to dinner next time?"

Mu Xiaoyu spoke sincerely, and her apologetic eyes made it impossible for anyone to dislike or refuse her, especially since no one had expected what had just happened.

Bai Luo was originally a fan of Mu Xiaoyu, and seeing Mu Xiaoyu through the lens of a fan, she felt that Mu Xiaoyu had many good points, so how could she possibly blame Mu Xiaoyu?

Moreover, there was another opportunity to exchange phone numbers with Mu Xiaoyu and take things further; he was overjoyed.

Upon hearing this, she quickly nodded, took out her phone, and exchanged phone numbers with Mu Xiaoyu. Bai Luo was a sensible girl; she knew that staying here wouldn't be of much help to Mu Xiaoyu, so she left after exchanging phone numbers with Mu Xiaoyu.

As soon as Bai Luo left, Mu Xiaoyu immediately walked towards the club president and the others.

The awards ceremony was going quite smoothly until this unexpected incident. Not only would Mu Xiaoyu benefit, but the magazine's reputation would also rise significantly. Who knew something like this would happen? If word gets out, it will definitely have a negative impact on their magazine.

Upon seeing Mu Xiaoyu approach, the club president's expression darkened further: "Mu Xiaoyu, how do you intend to explain this?"

"No matter who did this, it's definitely related to me... You probably won't listen to my apologies now, but I assure you, I will resolve this matter properly, give you an explanation, and ensure that the magazine suffers no losses."

Mu Xiaoyu couldn't escape responsibility for this, so her apology to the editor-in-chief was very sincere. Unfortunately, the editor-in-chief was only thinking about the magazine's profits and wouldn't listen to Mu Xiaoyu at all. Hearing this, she angrily sneered, pointed at Mu Xiaoyu's nose, and yelled, "Mu Xiaoyu, I value your talent, so I knew you were leaving and still arranged all this publicity for you. But think about yourself, you've caused the magazine so much trouble time and time again. You say you're going to solve it, how do you plan to solve it…?"

"It's none of your business how she resolves things. It was your own fault for not arranging proper security measures, which allowed someone to break in. Now you're blaming Xiaoyu. As the president of a magazine, you shouldn't be so unable to distinguish right from wrong!"

Before the president could finish speaking, a deep, cold voice came from behind. The next moment, Li Chenxu appeared behind Mu Xiaoyu, protecting her completely.

Putting aside Li Chenxu's identity, just his impressive height and domineering aura alone were enough to shut up the club president's angry words without him needing to say a word. The once arrogant man instantly wilted upon seeing Li Chenxu.

Even so, thinking of the interests of his magazine, the editor-in-chief still pretended to be calm and gritted his teeth, saying, "Even if I am responsible, who could have imagined that something like this would suddenly happen? Moreover, this was caused by Mu Xiaoyu. Mr. Li, I know that Mu Xiaoyu is your wife, but you can't protect her like this! If this gets out, it will probably not be good for your reputation!"

The moment the president finished speaking, he heard Li Chenxu's sneer, which was full of obvious disdain, and the president's face turned bright red instantly.

The president was a successful man, though not as wealthy as Li Chenxu, he was still quite eye-catching in a crowd. However, when he stood next to Li Chenxu, the difference was stark; even he himself realized just how vast the difference was between them.

Li Chenxu remained silent, looking down at the editor-in-chief, taking in his expression. After a long while, just as the editor-in-chief was about to break down, he finally spoke slowly: "So what if what you said is true? It's my own woman; I can protect her however I want. I don't need you to remind me. I don't want to say anything more to you. Xiaoyu and I will handle today's matter and give the magazine an explanation. But I will also demand an explanation from you for what you just said!"

After saying this, Li Chenxu didn't give the president a chance to speak again. He took Mu Xiaoyu's hand and left the hall directly.
