Chapter 668: You Don't Like Her That Much at All
What could Chen Tong say? People like them, who had no power or influence in the capital, could only obey the other party's decision.
After hanging up the phone, Chen Tong took a deep breath, barely managing to control her emotions, and went into her room.
Mu Xiaoyu was just finishing her conversation with the teacher and was about to escort the person inside when she bumped into Chen Tong, who had just come in.
Having spent so much time together, Mu Xiaoyu could tell almost immediately that something was wrong with Chen Tong.
However, she didn't say anything. After seeing the teacher off, she looked at Chen Tong, who was following behind her, and asked, "What's wrong? Did something happen?"
Chen Tong shook her head. How could she dare tell Mu Xiaoyu about Li Chenxu's threatening phone call? If she did, Mu Xiaoyu would definitely confront Li Chenxu.
Even if Li Chenxu outwardly agrees to not harm Mu Xiaoyu, he might not do so in private. More importantly, if Mu Xiaoyu finds out about this, she will definitely meet with Li Chenxu.
At least for now, Chen Tong doesn't want the two of them to meet.
So she forced a slight smile at Mu Xiaoyu and said, "It's nothing. It's just that an advertiser said they wanted to work with us, but now that they know you're pregnant, Xiaoyu, they don't want to work with us anymore."
"But everyone already knew I was pregnant, so why are they only calling now?"
Mu Xiaoyu was clearly incredulous; Chen Tong's current behavior was far too strange. She felt things shouldn't be that simple. Chen Tong had always been aware of her background and knew she didn't care much about money, so she shouldn't be so concerned about it now.
As if seeing through her thoughts, Chen Tong quickly added, "Sister Xiaoyu, you had too many engagements before, and with Sister Song Yin's accident a few days ago, you had to turn down your subordinates' engagements again. I didn't want to bother you at that time, so I temporarily declined. There are still many people who don't know about your pregnancy."
Chen Tong is right. Mu Xiaoyu's pregnancy was not announced directly, and since she is thin, she doesn't look pregnant much, so most of the people who know about it are only people in the entertainment industry.
Some advertisers are not very familiar with things in the entertainment industry, so it's understandable that they didn't know about the pregnancy.
What Chen Tong said seems to make sense.
but……
Mu Xiaoyu looked at Chen Tong, still somewhat disbelieving. However, since Hua Dou had already gone this far, if Chen Tong still refused to speak, then she must have her reasons.
Even the best of friends need privacy, and she really shouldn't push him too hard.
Thinking of this, Mu Xiaoyu reached out and gently patted Chen Tong's shoulder twice, saying earnestly, "If you don't want to talk about it, that's fine. But if anything really happens, you must tell me. Don't try to be brave, okay?"
Mu Xiaoyu was so good to her. Seeing how concerned Mu Xiaoyu was about her, Chen Tong almost burst into tears.
She thought that no matter how Li Chenxu threatened her, she would not do anything to betray Mu Xiaoyu.
Mu Xiaoyu had too many engagements to attend today and was exhausted, so she didn't say anything more to Chen Tong and had someone take her home directly.
When Mu Xiaoyu got home, she didn't see Li Chenxu. Just as he had said, he really had left.
"Madam, you're back. Would you like something to eat? We'll make it right away."
When the maid saw Mu Xiaoyu return, she immediately stepped forward and asked, "Has Li Chenxu come back today?" Mu Xiaoyu shook her head, glanced at the empty house with a complicated expression, and finally asked, "Has Li Chenxu come back today?"
The maid, unaware of what had happened between Li Chenxu and Mu Xiaoyu, answered truthfully, "Assistant Lin came by a few hours ago, took some of the things that the master usually uses, and left. The master himself has not returned."
Upon hearing this, Mu Xiaoyu didn't say anything more. After waving to the maid, she sat down on the sofa and turned to Chen Tong, saying, "You should go back first. Be careful on the way."
"Sister Xiaoyu..."
Chen Tong looked at Mu Xiaoyu, seemingly wanting to say something, but before she could speak, she heard Mu Xiaoyu say, "Then I'll go first. If you need anything, just call me and I'll come right away."
Since Mu Xiaoyu and Li Chenxu moved to this villa, Chen Tong also moved to the vicinity. If Mu Xiaoyu needs to contact her, it will be much more convenient.
Mu Xiaoyu gave a soft "hmm" in response, and seeing this, Chen Tong left.
It was already night, and the sky was completely dark. The lights on both sides of the road in the residential area were dim, and if one's eyesight wasn't good, it would be easy to miss any movement.
Even so, as soon as Chen Tong went out, she immediately saw Li Chenxu's people.
No matter how cold and ruthless Li Chenxu was, Chen Tong had to admit that he was outstanding in appearance. Just like now, even though she couldn't see him clearly, she could still feel his exceptional qualities that set him apart from others.
She bit her lip, forcing herself to appear calm, and then walked towards Li Chenxu.
Chen Tong stopped just a meter away from Li Chenxu and called out softly, "Mr. Li."
At such close range, even in dim lighting, we can clearly see each other's faces.
Li Chenxu didn't answer, just stood there, silently observing Chen Tong. After a while, he finally spoke slowly and deliberately: "How is she today?"
It goes without saying who this "she" is. Chen Tong breathed a sigh of relief and answered truthfully, "Sister Xiaoyu was fine at night, but during the day... after learning about Mr. Li and Xu Sulin's affair, she was in a very bad state."
If Li Chenxu truly cared about Mu Xiaoyu, Chen Tong didn't mind telling him. So, she didn't hide Mu Xiaoyu's reaction during the day and told Li Chenxu everything.
Finally, emboldened by who-knows-where, he added, "Mr. Li, I always thought that someone of your status, if he truly loved Sister Xiaoyu, would protect her from any harm. But after all these incidents, I've realized that's not the case at all. All of Sister Xiaoyu's sadness and pain is caused by you alone. Frankly speaking, no matter how much status or money you have, you can't protect Sister Xiaoyu at all. Perhaps, you don't even love her that much!"
If these words had come from anyone else, they probably would have been killed. But now that they're coming from Chen Tong, everything is different.
