Chapter 481 Things Have Changed
That's life. There are too many regrets and things to be regretted. By the time you want to make amends, it's already too late.
Bai Luo's death was a huge blow not only to Mu Xiaoyu, but also to the Bai family and Song Yin.
The funeral was held three days after Bai Luo's death. As if the heavens had taken on feelings, the entire sky was overcast that day. Dark gray clouds seemed about to collapse, weighing heavily on everyone's hearts, creating a terrifyingly oppressive atmosphere.
Mu Xiaoyu stood beside Li Chenxu. She did not attend Bai Luo's funeral; she simply stood at a distance in the cemetery with Song Yin and Li Chenxu, watching the funeral take place.
Call her timid or whatever, she really didn't have the courage to look at the two characters "Bai Luo" on the tombstone.
Even now, several days later, she still refuses to believe that Bai Luo is dead.
She didn't want to see or attend Bai Luo's funeral. She'd just pretend Bai Luo had gone on a long trip.
That's it, that's all.
"let's go."
As more and more people gathered in front of Bai Luo's tombstone, Mu Xiaoyu looked away and lowered her eyes to speak to Li Chenxu.
Whether it was because she hadn't spoken for a long time or because of suppressed emotions, Mu Xiaoyu's voice was incredibly hoarse when she finally spoke.
Li Chenxu and Song Yin exchanged a glance, then turned their heads away and walked to Mu Xiaoyu's left and right sides respectively.
After leaving the cemetery, the three went straight back to the villa. Originally, Song Yin was worried about Mu Xiaoyu and wanted to go back with her. However, Li Chenxu was there after all. No matter how domineering Li Chenxu was, he was sincere towards Mu Xiaoyu. At this time, with Li Chenxu by Mu Xiaoyu's side, nothing should happen.
So halfway through the journey, Song Yin got off the bus and went back to her residence.
Once Song Yin left, only Mu Xiaoyu and Li Chenxu remained in the car.
These two people, who were once the closest and dearest to each other, have barely spoken a few words to each other in the past few days. And now, the carriage is eerily quiet.
Mu Xiaoyu leaned her head against the car window, her eyes blankly watching the scenery flashing by outside, her mind a complete blank.
Meanwhile, Li Chenxu's gaze never left Mu Xiaoyu.
Neither Mu Xiaoyu nor Li Chenxu had anticipated things would turn out this way.
However, for Li Chenxu, he and Mu Xiaoyu absolutely cannot, and it is impossible for them to, maintain their current relationship.
Bai Luo has only recently passed away, so he can give Mu Xiaoyu time to grieve and remember him. But that's all. Once that time is over, he must get to the bottom of things between him and Mu Xiaoyu.
Why did you follow me back?
At this moment, the car had stopped outside the villa. Mu Xiaoyu seemed to suddenly wake up, looking at Li Chenxu beside her with a hint of doubt in her eyes.
Upon hearing this, Li Chenxu immediately frowned. He suppressed his discomfort and tried to speak to Mu Xiaoyu in a calm tone: "We can talk about our things later. Your current situation is not suitable for you to be alone. Even if it's not me, it will be Song Yin."
Mu Xiaoyu seemed to have no time to dwell on those things. Her question was just a casual remark. After all, she and Li Chenxu were already divorced, and in her opinion, it was inappropriate for Li Chenxu to go home with her.
But since Li Chenxu has said so, there seems to be nothing to refute.
So Mu Xiaoyu gave a soft "hmm" and then opened the door and got out of the car.
In the past few days, she has hardly had a good night's sleep or a full meal. Her health was not good to begin with, and now she even walks with a slight sway, as if she is about to faint at any moment.
Li Chenxu was a little worried, so he stepped forward and put his arm around Mu Xiaoyu's shoulders.
This time, Mu Xiaoyu didn't struggle. She was indeed a little tired, and having someone like this was quite nice.
The two entered the house, and Li Chenxu helped Mu Xiaoyu sit down. Li Chenxu looked around the empty villa, and finally whispered to Mu Xiaoyu, "I'll go get you something to eat."
After saying that, she turned to go to the kitchen, but before she could leave, Mu Xiaoyu stopped her.
"Don't go, sit here with me for a while."
Mu Xiaoyu looked up at him, her slightly vacant eyes carrying a hint of pleading. Sometimes people's emotions are just so contradictory. Mu Xiaoyu clearly harbored resentment towards Li Chenxu. If he and Bai Luo hadn't cooperated back then, perhaps many things wouldn't have turned out this way.
But while she harbored resentment, she also longed for him to be by her side. It would give her a sense of security, and she could also learn things she didn't know when Li Chenxu and Bai Luo were pretending to be together.
Li Chenxu frowned and looked at Mu Xiaoyu for two seconds before finally sitting down next to her.
"Tell me what you and Bai Luo said back then. I want to know."
“I was the one who approached her for help, but I didn’t force her.”
Without hesitation, Li Chenxu spoke immediately. After saying this, he turned his head slightly to look at Mu Xiaoyu and said seriously, "I know she is your best friend, so I won't force her. It's all her decision. And as the reward she promised, I will leave a way out for the Bai family and her. However, I was unaware of the Bai family's embezzlement, bribery, and other matters at the time. Otherwise, I might have thought of other ways."
"So, from the very beginning, Bai Luo was the one who knew best about the things that happened in the Bai family, right?"
Mu Xiaoyu spoke in a hoarse voice. She could no longer cry, but the pain in her heart was no less.
Li Chenxu gave a deep "hmm". He didn't want to hurt Mu Xiaoyu, but if he didn't make things clear at this time, the misunderstanding between him and Mu Xiaoyu would only deepen.
By then, their reconciliation will be a distant prospect.
It's even quite possible that Mu Xiaoyu will really leave him.
After only a few words, the two fell silent again, the atmosphere in the air eerily quiet.
Mu Xiaoyu used to find this kind of atmosphere unbearable, but now, for some reason, she has suddenly gotten used to it.
Li Chenxu, seeing that Mu Xiaoyu hadn't spoken for a long time, finally spoke up again: "Xiaoyu, are you still blaming me? I don't think that everything I did back then was right, but I have a clear conscience. Perhaps because of the acting and deception back then, I do owe you a lot. But apart from that, I have a clear conscience about what I did before, and I haven't wronged you."
“I know all that, but now that we’ve come this far, don’t you think there are some things that have changed between us?”
