Chapter 486: This time, I'll chase you again.
The words Li Chenxu spoke were the same ones Mu Xiaoyu had said before, and now Li Chenxu had returned them to Mu Xiaoyu almost exactly as they were.
For some reason, even though this should have been the saddest time of her life, Mu Xiaoyu felt a strange urge to laugh. She realized she had indeed been spoiled by Li Chenxu; now she couldn't even bear such a small grievance.
You should know that the harm she caused Li Chenxu back then, and the harsh words she said to him, were far more than what she is saying now.
Thinking of this, Mu Xiaoyu took a deep breath, gave Li Chenxu a not-too-bad smile, and said, "Brother Chenxu, I know you're still angry with me. I really know I was wrong about what happened last time, and all the things I did that hurt you before. I don't expect you to forgive me immediately, but as long as you give me a chance to make amends, I'm willing to do whatever you want me to do."
Actually, before coming here, Mu Xiaoyu and Song Yin put on makeup to deliberately look pitiful, which was completely unnecessary. Just now, seeing Li Chenxu being intimate with another woman was like taking Mu Xiaoyu's life.
His face was completely bloodless, and tears were welling up in his eyes; anyone who saw him would feel sorry for him.
If it were the old Li Chenxu, he would have been heartbroken long ago.
But this time, Li Chenxu still didn't react at all.
He fiddled with the pen in his hand, his unfathomable, deep eyes staring intently at Mu Xiaoyu, as if scrutinizing her or pondering something.
After a long silence, he suddenly laughed, a laugh tinged with sarcasm. Mu Xiaoyu had expected him to say something sarcastic, but instead, Li Chenxu said, "It's all in the past, Mu Xiaoyu. You and I have nothing to do with each other anymore. You should start your new life, and I should start mine too. You should understand that I won't always revolve around you. I've given you enough, and now I'm tired and don't want to continue."
When Li Chenxu said these words, his tone was calm and even, as if he had truly let go.
However, for Mu Xiaoyu, she would rather Li Chenxu have a big fight with her like before than say these things to her.
She felt like crying, but she knew that crying now would only make Li Chenxu and the others look down on her even more.
Mu Xiaoyu sniffed, her nose stinging slightly, smiled at Li Chenxu, and said, "Okay, it's okay then."
After saying that, Mu Xiaoyu turned and left without looking at Li Chenxu's reaction.
What she just said was true. After all, she herself said those things about Li Chenxu leaving, that it was okay. She was now reaping the consequences of her own actions.
However, it doesn't matter for now.
Just as Song Yin had told her before, if she really missed Li Chenxu, perhaps she would never be able to find someone who liked her as much as Li Chenxu did, and someone she liked in return.
She couldn't give up on such a good person.
In the past, it was always Li Chenxu who pursued her.
So this time, it's her turn to pursue Li Chenxu.
Just because it doesn't matter now doesn't mean it won't matter in the future.
Mu Xiaoyu didn't tell Song Yin what happened at the Li family's place. She knew that Song Yin didn't like Li Chenxu to begin with, and she hoped that her good friend and the person she loved most could get along harmoniously. So she didn't want this incident to leave any bad impression of Li Chenxu in Song Yin's heart.
As the saying goes, good news doesn't travel far, but bad news travels a thousand miles. The things that Mu Xiaoyu encountered at the Li Group headquarters the day before were spread by someone, and the whole Li Group was buzzing about it the next day.
When Mu Xiaoyu came back, those people no longer had the same concerns they had about Li Chenxu. Some of the more sarcastic and bolder female employees even started pointing and gossiping in front of Mu Xiaoyu, as if they wanted to point their fingers at her nose and curse her.
Mu Xiaoyu, carrying an exquisite lunchbox, kept her eyes straight ahead and her back straight, completely disregarding those people.
She can be quite vulnerable when it comes to matters concerning her loved ones. However, that doesn't mean she's vulnerable in other areas as well.
She remembers clearly those who pointed fingers at her and acted with ill intent today.
She won't pay attention to these people now. Once she and Li Chenxu have resolved their issues, she'll deal with them slowly!
She thought she would get up there smoothly, but this time, as soon as Mu Xiaoyu entered the Li Group's headquarters building, before she even got on the elevator, she was stopped by the receptionist.
"Ms. Mu, are you in a good mood? If you want to see Mr. Li, you need to make an appointment."
Unlike the others, the receptionist didn't give Mu Xiaoyu any malicious looks or expressions. Mu Xiaoyu wasn't angry either, and instead asked good-naturedly, "Why? Didn't Brother Shen Xu say before that I could go up directly?"
"That...that was before. After Miss Mu came yesterday, President Li gave us a severe scolding and told us..."
The receptionist seemed to be concerned about saving Mu Xiaoyu's face, so she spoke haltingly, and her voice grew softer and softer towards the end, to the point that Mu Xiaoyu could no longer hear some of what she said.
But it didn't matter. Even if she couldn't hear clearly, Mu Xiaoyu roughly knew what was going on.
She knew that it wouldn't be easy to appease Li Chenxu or make him change his mind, but she didn't expect that the first step of this long journey would encounter such a setback.
Mu Xiaoyu couldn't help but smile helplessly. The scene of Li Chenxu being intimate with other women yesterday flashed through her mind, and her heart ached again.
Not wanting to appear vulnerable in front of others, she quickly suppressed her feelings of insecurity, smiled slightly at the receptionist, and said, "If seeing President Li is difficult, what about Assistant Lin? Can I at least see Assistant Lin?"
Lin Zhu is Li Chenxu's personal assistant. When Mu Xiaoyu said she wanted to see Lin Zhu, even a fool would know who she wanted to see.
But it seemed there was no problem with what Mu Xiaoyu was saying now. So the receptionist hesitated for a few seconds, then nodded and said, "Please wait a moment, I'll call Assistant Lin and ask. If Assistant Lin agrees, you can go up."
Seeing Mu Xiaoyu nod, the receptionist dialed Assistant Lin's internal number. The phone rang twice before being answered. The receptionist informed the other party that Mu Xiaoyu wanted to see Assistant Lin, expecting him to refuse. To everyone's surprise, Assistant Lin agreed.
After hanging up the phone, the receptionist looked at Mu Xiaoyu with a conflicted expression: "Ms. Mu, Assistant Lin has agreed to see you. Please go up now."
