Chapter 95 The Truth About Marriage
Just as Xu Sulin said, Mu Xiaoyu's family was actually not well-off at all; in fact, they were quite poor. As Mu Xiaoyu's father, Mu Pengzheng never fulfilled his responsibilities as a father, and even gambled away the money Mu Xiaoyu earned from working to learn painting.
In Mu Xiaoyu's memory, her childhood was almost entirely spent being beaten and scolded by Mu Pengzheng. And her mother? Cowardly and timid, she never dared to resist Mu Pengzheng.
Even so, Mu Xiaoyu still liked her. Because her mother would secretly hide the best food, even after being beaten by Mu Pengzheng, she would still save the best for her. And when Mu Pengzheng was about to hit her, she would hold her tightly in her arms.
Yet this timid and cowardly woman dared to defy Mu Pengzheng one day so that she could go to university and study the major she liked.
Even now, Mu Xiaoyu doesn't want to recall the final outcome...
She never complained or blamed others; all she felt was an almost visceral hatred for Mu Pengzheng.
How easy would it be for a man like that to frame his own daughter?
Thinking about the past, Mu Xiaoyu felt as if her heart was being gripped and torn apart, the pain almost making her lose control of her emotions.
Fortunately, her mind was becoming increasingly clear, and although her heart was aching terribly, she remained outwardly calm. She wouldn't believe Xu Sulin's words so easily; she needed to find out the whole story!
Do you think I'll believe you just because you say that?
After a long pause, Mu Xiaoyu spoke. Because she had been suppressing her emotions, even though it wasn't visible on her face, her slightly hoarse voice still betrayed it.
Xu Sulin was initially wondering why Mu Xiaoyu was so calm, but upon hearing Mu Xiaoyu's voice, she immediately smiled with satisfaction.
She snorted and said, "Whether you believe it or not is your own business. If you don't believe it, you can ask your father. He's still alive, isn't he? Oh, by the way, you'd better keep the recording pen safe. Don't be shocked when you hear what's inside."
Xu Sulin had already achieved his goal of coming here today. After saying this, he revealed the same meaningful smile he had when he first arrived, which was completely malicious.
Mu Xiaoyu didn't move, her gloomy eyes fixed on Xu Sulin's departing figure until Xu Sulin completely disappeared from her sight. Only then did she turn her gaze back to the recording pen on the table.
Mu Xiaoyu hesitated for a moment, unsure whether to turn on the recorder. However, her hesitation didn't last long; she only hesitated for a few seconds before turning it on.
"What are your plans regarding Mu Xiaoyu? If Mu Xiaoyu were pregnant, it wouldn't be impossible for her to stay with the Li family. But so far, there's no sign of pregnancy, and now that Su Lin is back, what are your intentions?"
The voice of the first person to speak was clearly that of Li's father, and the content of his words was enough for Mu Xiaoyu to be certain that the other person was Li Chenxu.
The more Mu Xiaoyu thought about what Li Chenxu might say next, the heavier her heart became. She gripped the recording pen tightly in her hand, biting her lips, and even though she could taste the faint metallic tang of blood in her mouth, she did not loosen her grip even slightly.
'As for Xiaoyu... she'll get a divorce. I've already made up my mind about that...'
Whether it was a problem with the recorder or something else, Li Chenxu's voice sounded intermittent, but the content of his words was still clearly audible.
But Mu Xiaoyu wished she hadn't heard those words; just a few words had made her feel like she was in an ice cellar.
However, fate is always fair; having dealt Mu Xiaoyu this blow, it will also give her an even deeper one.
Just when Mu Xiaoyu thought the recording was over, a voice came from the recorder again: "Anyway, let me make this clear from the start: you were threatened when you married Mu Xiaoyu. I didn't say anything then to save face for you, and you married him..."
The father's voice stopped there, and Mu Xiaoyu stared for a while, but the recorder didn't make any more noise.
She subconsciously reached up and touched her lips. Her fair fingertips were now stained with beads of blood. She didn't know when she had bitten her lips. She hadn't felt anything before, but now it hurt terribly when she touched them.
It hurt terribly. Not only did her cracked lips hurt, but her heart also ached. It felt like she was being stabbed by countless tiny, sharp needles. The pain was so intense that it almost made her faint.
At this point, Mu Xiaoyu was even somewhat bewildered. She didn't know why things had developed to this point. Just two days ago, she and Li Chenxu were perfectly fine. Why had things turned out this way overnight, and even... even the things she had initially believed were genuine feelings from him were all fake?
But if Li Chenxu was being threatened, why was he so nice to her?
Is he taking revenge on her, wanting to see how pathetic she would be after falling in love with Li Chenxu and then being slapped hard?
Mu Xiaoyu almost dared not think about why, just as she was already regretting why she had turned on the recorder and why she had asked Xu Sulin for his words.
If none of this had happened, would things be better now?
At this moment, Mu Xiaoyu was in a daze, and it was at this moment that her phone suddenly rang.
Mu Xiaoyu stared blankly at her phone screen, where the three characters "Li Chenxu" were prominently displayed.
She had been hoping that Li Chenxu would call her and that they would reconcile. But now that Li Chenxu had called her, for some reason, she felt like laughing.
Even though there was already evidence proving that Li Chenxu married her under duress from Mu Pengzheng, Mu Xiaoyu still held onto a small corner of her heart, willing to believe in Li Chenxu.
She had to go to Mu Pengzheng to verify all the facts before Li Chenxu returned. She didn't want any more misunderstandings to arise between her and Li Chenxu, like before...
Thinking of this, Mu Xiaoyu closed her eyes and quickly composed herself, suppressing the surging emotions before slowly picking up her phone and answering the call.
"Hey……"
"I just heard that Xu Sulin went to the villa. Did she do anything to you?"
Li Chenxu's voice remained as cold as before, but his words sounded like he was concerned about her. Mu Xiaoyu didn't know whether to believe that Li Chenxu cared about her or was afraid that she would find out the truth.
She sniffed, her nose stinging slightly, and after a long while, she said in a hoarse voice, "Nothing, she didn't do anything."
