Chapter 399 Knowing the Password
Mu Xiaoyu's mother shook her head, her gaze suddenly drifting to the window. After a long while, she said, "I don't know either. I haven't been back since I married Mu Pengzheng. In the first few years, I tried to contact them, but later Mu Pengzheng and I had a falling out, so naturally she wouldn't let me have any contact with my family. Later, after what happened to me, I naturally didn't know how the people back home were doing."
Actually, last night, Mu Xiaoyu originally thought of having Li Chenxu's people investigate the situation of her mother's family, but after thinking about it, she gave up.
After all, that place is too far from the capital. Even if they wanted to investigate, it would be impossible in less than a day or two. By the time a day or two has passed, they would have already arrived, and there would be no need to investigate anymore.
Mu Xiaoyu noticed the disappointment in her mother's eyes. She took her mother's hand and comforted her, "Don't worry, they must be alright. We're all family. They must still be hoping you'll come back. Otherwise, they wouldn't have gone to such lengths to stop you from marrying Mu Pengzheng."
Mu Xiaoyu's words struck a chord with her mother, whose previously somewhat disappointed expression instantly brightened. She patted Mu Xiaoyu's hand and said with a smile, "I know, don't worry. It's been so noisy outside during the New Year, haven't you been sleeping well? It'll be a while before you get to your parents' house, so get some sleep first."
Mu Xiaoyu had indeed been in low spirits for the past two days. Seeing that her mother looked much better, she didn't insist any further. She glanced at Li Chenxu, who was looking at the documents his subordinate had brought over. Sensing Mu Xiaoyu's gaze, he immediately put down the documents and turned to look at Mu Xiaoyu.
"what happened?"
Mu Xiaoyu shook her head: "It's nothing, I just wanted to see you. I'm going to take a nap first, remember to wake me up when we get there."
Mu Xiaoyu's words clearly pleased Li Chenxu. Upon hearing this, Li Chenxu immediately leaned over and kissed Mu Xiaoyu on the lips. Their intimate manner was such that, if it weren't for the fact that Mu Xiaoyu's mother was still present, they probably would have kissed her for a little longer.
Previously, Mu Xiaoyu wasn't used to being so intimate with Li Chenxu in public, but now that Li Chenxu kisses her all the time, she's gotten used to it, and even feels a little uncomfortable if he doesn't kiss her once or twice a day.
After receiving a kiss from Li Chenxu, Mu Xiaoyu closed her eyes contentedly to rest. They were traveling in first class, and since they also had other subordinates with them, the entire carriage was filled with their people. Mu Xiaoyu didn't feel uncomfortable here, and soon fell asleep.
After Mu Xiaoyu fell asleep, Mu Xiaoyu's mother and Li Chenxu, as if they had agreed beforehand, both got up from their seats and walked to the end of the carriage.
"Auntie, is there anything you want to tell me?"
Earlier, when getting into the car, Mu Xiaoyu's mother's gaze towards Li Chenxu was somewhat strange. Li Chenxu was an extremely shrewd person, so how could he not notice?
However, the look in Mu Xiaoyu's mother's eyes at that time clearly indicated that she wanted to say something to him privately and did not want Mu Xiaoyu to know. So, before Mu Xiaoyu fell asleep, neither of them said anything, until now that Mu Xiaoyu is asleep.
Mu Xiaoyu's mother did not speak immediately, as if she was considering how to start the conversation, her expression somber.
She was Mu Xiaoyu's closest relative, and like him, she cared deeply for Mu Xiaoyu. Furthermore, after spending these past few years together, Li Chenxu had long considered Mu Xiaoyu's mother as true family, so seeing her hesitant expression, he didn't urge her at all.
"Shen Xu, you've told me before what you're investigating. It all started with a mistake your father made, so now your father's son wants revenge, right?"
Not understanding what Mu Xiaoyu's mother meant by asking these questions at this time, Li Chenxu paused and nodded. After thinking for a moment, he briefly told Mu Xiaoyu's mother the whole story.
After hearing Li Chenxu's words, Mu Xiaoyu's mother's expression became even more serious: "So what you want to find most right now is Lei Chao's son, right?"
"It's like this, Auntie... you're asking me these questions now, does it mean you already know something?"
Li Chenxu was a very perceptive person. Given Mu Xiaoyu's mother's strange behavior and the questions she was asking, Li Chenxu was basically certain that she knew something but was keeping it from him for the time being.
“Actually, I already know the combination to the box. And I opened it last night. I also know that you've been investigating who Lei Chao's son is. I can tell you all of this, but Shen Xu... you can't tell Xiao Yu this.”
Mu Xiaoyu's words greatly surprised Li Chenxu. Before she said these words, Li Chenxu had thought of countless possible outcomes, but he never expected that Mu Xiaoyu's mother would know everything now.
Without any hesitation, Li Chenxu immediately nodded in agreement: "Auntie, although I don't know why you want me to hide these things from Xiaoyu, I know that you must be doing it for Xiaoyu's own good, so no matter what, I will agree to it."
Hearing Li Chenxu's assurance, Mu Xiaoyu's mother breathed a sigh of relief. She gave Li Chenxu a complicated look, then said softly, "Here's what happened. For the past few days, we haven't been able to figure out the combination to the box. Last night, Xiaoyu came to my room..."
At that time, Mu Xiaoyu's mother hadn't figured out what the password was, but Mu Xiaoyu's later words reminded her. She mentioned her family's situation; before she and Mu Pengzheng got married, her family had always disapproved of their relationship, for reasons similar to those she had told Mu Xiaoyu before.
What she didn't tell Mu Xiaoyu was that, later, she didn't know what method Mu Pengzheng used, but he managed to get his family to agree to their wedding. Before returning to Mu Pengzheng's hometown, they had already held a wedding ceremony at her parents' home.
At that time, she thought everything was going in a good direction, but when she went back home, her family suddenly cut off all ties with her.
Even now, she doesn't understand why things turned out this way.
But that's all in the past. The key thing is that the combination to the box is related to this incident.
On January 3rd, the day of their first wedding, she became pregnant with Mu Xiaoyu. However, only the two of them knew this; afterwards, they told everyone that Mu Xiaoyu was conceived after their second wedding.
