Chapter 568: How is Xu Sulin?
Mu Xiaoyu harbored some secret thoughts. After returning home, she even went out and bought a professional SLR camera. She was certain that Li Chenxu would make a complete fool of himself. Normally, he was almost always meticulous and perfect in everything he did. Watching him embarrass himself would be much more amusing.
Li Chenxu had no idea what Mu Xiaoyu was thinking. While Mu Xiaoyu was at home working on her manuscript, he was at home dealing with the official duties that had accumulated, and at the same time planning his trip to Disneyland.
He made very detailed plans for the trip. This was the first time he and Mu Xiaoyu had gone to such a place together, and he hoped that all that would remain were wonderful memories.
There were too many unpleasant things between them, and he wanted to use the rest of their time together, with all the good things, to gradually make up for those unpleasant things.
Lin Zhu returned the day before the two went to Disneyland. In the past few months, in addition to keeping an eye on Xu Sulin's situation abroad, Lin Zhu also had to take care of some things at the company in China. So Lin Zhu was extremely busy during this period.
Even so, Lin Zhu was willing to do it.
Because of what Lin Zhu had done before, given Li Chenxu's personality, it was possible that he would have sent Lin Zhu directly to the police station.
However, the two had been together for so many years, and although Li Chenxu didn't say it, he always regarded Lin Zhu as a brother. He was willing to give Lin Zhu a chance, as long as Lin Zhu was willing to change.
Now, Assistant Lin has changed a lot. Naturally, Li Chenxu is now willing to continue to trust Assistant Lin as before, and will entrust the things he considers most important to Assistant Lin.
However, this time when Assistant Lin returned, he did not inform Li Chenxu in advance.
"How's things going with Xu Sulin?"
Lin Zhu was in the apartment where Li Chenxu was staying at the moment. Hearing this, he nodded and said, "Miss Xu is doing very well now. She should be able to be discharged from the hospital in about half a month. The Xu family has been with her during this time."
Upon hearing this, Li Chenxu gave a perfunctory "hmm" and didn't ask any further questions. Assistant Lin glanced at him and, seeing that he didn't intend to continue asking, directly started talking to Li Chenxu about company matters.
During this period, Lin Zhu's tasks included taking care of Xu Sulin's affairs and monitoring the people of the Li family's main branch.
It was inevitable that Li Chenxu would get his hands on the remaining Li Group shares. With the help of Xu Sulin, he had already taken back almost all of them, leaving only the small number of shares in the hands of Old Master Li. However, Old Master Li was determined to hold onto those shares.
During this period, Assistant Lin tried many methods to get the shares in Old Master Li's hands, but in the end, he got nothing.
"If he doesn't want to release me, then so be it. Let him have some more freedom for a while. Once that time is over, I'll deal with his situation."
As Li Chenxu spoke, he seemed to think of something, and suddenly sneered before continuing, "I don't even care about the small number of shares he has."
"Sir, when do you plan to return to the company?"
Lin Zhu breathed a sigh of relief before asking him the most important thing about his trip. He knew how important Mu Xiaoyu was to Li Chenxu, but Li Chenxu had been away from the company for too long. Right now, things seemed fine, but if things came to a head later, it might be too late.
Li Chenxu remained silent, his gaze fixed on the stairwell above, his deep eyes flashing with unfathomable emotions.
After a long while, he finally said, "Let's wait a few days. I'll go back to the company after these few days are over."
Once he made a decision, no one could change it. Seeing this, Assistant Lin said no more, reported some work-related matters to Li Chenxu, and then left.
After Assistant Lin left, Li Chenxu sat on the sofa and looked at the documents that Assistant Lin had brought for a while before heading upstairs to the study.
Having not painted for a long time, Mu Xiaoyu's enthusiasm was much greater than before. Apart from coming down to paint in the morning and at lunchtime, she spent most of the day painting in her study, and didn't even notice when Li Chenxu came in.
"How's it going? Is everything alright?"
Li Chenxu walked behind Mu Xiaoyu, bent down and gently leaned on Mu Xiaoyu's shoulder, and said with a smile.
Mu Xiaoyu was startled and almost made a mistake while drawing. She gave Li Chenxu a reproachful look, put down her pen, and said, "You were drawing quite smoothly. Why did you come up here? Have you finished your work?"
Li Chenxu gave a soft "hmm": "It's almost dinner time. I came up to ask you what you want to eat tonight, and I'll make it for you later."
Recently, the two have been together, and Li Chenxu has been in charge of all the food for Mu Xiaoyu. Mu Xiaoyu is used to Li Chenxu's cooking, so when she heard him ask this, she frowned and thought for a moment before finally saying, "I want to eat beef hot pot, how about we make that? It's convenient."
"Besides beef, is there anything else you'd like to eat?"
Mu Xiaoyu thought for a moment and then suggested a few more dishes. Li Chenxu agreed, kissed her, and went to prepare them.
No sooner had Li Chenxu stepped out of the study than Song Yin called. Song Yin had been filming deep in the mountains for some time, and had told Mu Xiaoyu a few days ago that filming was almost finished, though she didn't know the exact date yet.
Mu Xiaoyu was somewhat surprised to receive Song Yin's call.
"where is it?"
"Of course it's at home. Have you finished filming?"
It seemed that Song Yin was at the airport; Mu Xiaoyu could clearly hear the airport announcements over the phone.
"I just got off the plane and haven't eaten yet. Do you have any plans for tonight? If not, let's grab some dinner. It's been so long since we last saw each other."
Mu Xiaoyu was about to agree, but then she thought of Li Chenxu. After hesitating for a moment, she said, "Why don't you come to my house? Brother Chenxu is cooking right now. We'll have beef hot pot for dinner, just the three of us."
"Li Chenxu made it himself?"
Song Yin knew that Li Chenxu had been taking care of Mu Xiaoyu for the past few months, but she didn't know that Li Chenxu was now cooking for Mu Xiaoyu every day.
After all, few people would believe that someone of Li Chenxu's status and position would still insist on cooking for Mu Xiaoyu every day.
Mu Xiaoyu noticed the surprise in Song Yin's tone and couldn't help but laugh, saying, "If he didn't do it, would I have? Come over here. A lot has happened in the past few months. Come over and I'll tell you about it slowly."
Song Yin wasn't one to be coy, and she readily agreed without hesitation. Besides, she wanted to see what kind of cooking President Li of the Li Group did.
