Chapter 109 Buying Gifts
In the past, whenever Mu Xiaoyu went to the Li family's main residence to see the Li family's relatives and Li's father, she would be unhappy. Almost every time they went back, the two of them would have an argument, big or small.
So not only did Mu Xiaoyu hate going back, but Li Chenxu also hated it.
However, this matter is very likely to involve the Xu family, and there are some things that Li Chenxu wants to talk to his father about. Tonight is a good opportunity.
I originally thought that Mu Xiaoyu would be unhappy to hear about going to the Li family's main residence. Even if she didn't show it directly, her mood would be affected to some extent.
However, Mu Xiaoyu was not angry when she heard this. Instead, she smiled and looked at Li Chenxu, nodding and replying, "Okay, should I buy some things? That way, when Dad sees me, he might not give me the same cold look as before?"
Li Chenxu was clearly surprised by Mu Xiaoyu's reaction and was a little worried that Mu Xiaoyu was just putting on a brave face. So he glanced at Mu Xiaoyu and couldn't help but ask, "Xiaoyu... if you don't want to go, then don't go. I can go alone tonight."
Mu Xiaoyu shook her head. Just like before, her opinion of the other members of the Li family remained unchanged. She still disliked them, and the Li family's main residence was the place she hated going to the most. But despite her dislike, now that she had made up her mind to live a good life with Li Chenxu, she still had to get past the Li family. She couldn't maintain that state of complete estrangement forever.
Li Chenxu has always been devoted to her, and it's time for her to reciprocate.
So, upon hearing Li Chenxu's words, Mu Xiaoyu looked at him firmly and said, "Chenxu, I'm not the Mu Xiaoyu who only knew how to run away anymore. Many times, I have to learn to face things. I know that Dad and the rest of the Li family don't like me now, but that's okay. I will work hard to change their bad impression of me. There's an old saying, 'Sincerity can move mountains,' and one day they will be moved by me, won't they?"
Mu Xiaoyu's words surprised Li Chenxu, yet felt they were also expected. Mu Xiaoyu had truly changed; she surprised him almost every day, making him like her even more each day.
Looking at Mu Xiaoyu's confident and composed expression, Li Chenxu couldn't help but tighten his grip on Mu Xiaoyu's hand.
Since Mu Xiaoyu is willing to go, then let her go. Anyway... no matter what, as long as he's there, he will absolutely not allow anyone to harm Mu Xiaoyu in the slightest.
The two went back to the villa to put down their luggage. Without even taking a break, Mu Xiaoyu dragged Li Chenxu to pick out a gift.
Actually, these things could have been done by the servants, but Mu Xiaoyu felt that since she wanted to change the Li family's opinion of her, it was better to do these things herself and choose the gifts herself to show sincerity.
If we don't compare her to the Li family or Li Chenxu, Mu Xiaoyu, as a rising cartoonist, has far more money than her peers. It's relatively easy for her to buy ordinary luxury goods without feeling too bad about it.
Before choosing gifts, Mu Xiaoyu learned about the interests and hobbies of the main members of the Li family, and then she went to choose gifts with Li Chenxu.
Mr. Li is now enjoying his retirement. He only occasionally inquires about the Li family business. Most of the time, like many ordinary elderly people, he focuses on cultivating his mind and body. Therefore, Mu Xiaoyu bought Mr. Li a tea set.
Coincidentally, the tea set that Mu Xiaoyu bought was from the currently popular original porcelain series. The so-called popularity is what insiders see; to laymen, it's the blue and white porcelain series.
When Mu Xiaoyu arrived, the shop had just received a new set. Almost without hesitation, and without even asking the price, Mu Xiaoyu said directly to the shopkeeper, "Could you please wrap this up for me? I'll take this tea set."
"Okay, you can pay here."
It's rare to see a buyer as straightforward as Mu Xiaoyu. In addition, Mu Xiaoyu and Li Chenxu are clearly people with extraordinary temperament. The shopkeeper was also happy and treated them with much more enthusiasm than when treating ordinary buyers.
"Swipe my card."
Seeing that Li Chenxu was about to pay with his card, Mu Xiaoyu quickly handed the card to the buyer, took Li Chenxu's card back, and glared at him angrily, saying, "You paid for the gifts for my relatives today, but I have to pay for them myself. When they find out, they'll think I'm thoughtful. But if they know it was you who paid, they might criticize me again."
What she said did make sense. Li Chenxu wasn't a chauvinist, so he didn't object and put the card away as instructed.
The tea set that Mu Xiaoyu bought for Li's father was already in high demand, so its price was much higher than that of ordinary tea sets. Just as Mu Xiaoyu and Li Chenxu were leaving with the tea set, people came into the store one after another to inquire about the tea set that Mu Xiaoyu had just bought. The most eye-catching one was an elderly man with gray hair.
Although his hair was completely white, he was full of energy and didn't have the stooped posture typical of old people, so it was hard to guess his actual age.
More importantly, the old man's appearance looked vaguely familiar...
"Old Bai, there really aren't any left. We only managed to snag one set. It was bought by that lady just minutes before you arrived." The shopkeeper pointed towards Mu Xiaoyu as he spoke, and the old man called Old Bai immediately looked in their direction.
When she saw Mu Xiaoyu, she only glanced at her, seemingly uninterested. She immediately looked at the bag Li Chenxu was carrying, her eyes lit up, and she walked towards them in a few steps.
"Young lady, could we make a deal? Could you sell me this tea set? I'm willing to pay more than the previous price."
Old Bai clearly adored this tea set; as he spoke, his eyes were fixed intently on the packaging bag in Li Chenxu's hand, his eyes practically glowing.
If it were Mu Xiaoyu herself, she might have agreed without hesitation to an old man's request. But this... she bought it for Li's father, and it wouldn't make sense to suddenly sell it to someone else now.
So she thought about it and was about to refuse when Li Chenxu suddenly spoke up: "If you want this tea set, you can take it. Just pay the price the seller quoted."
