Chapter 279 I hope you can forgive me
"How dare you say that! If you hadn't deliberately sent someone to get close to her, how could I have possibly hurt her!"
Mu Pengzheng's emotions were getting increasingly out of control. As he spoke, he turned his head and glared fiercely at Li Chenxu. His eyes, which were so agitated that they looked like they were about to pop out of their sockets, were almost bursting out of their sockets.
Mu Xiaoyu and her mother, who were standing nearby, almost burst out laughing when they heard Li Chenxu's words.
What is Mu Pengzheng doing if he's not joking? How could he possibly hurt her? It's ridiculous that he would say something like that.
"It's true that I sent the person who contacted Auntie back then, but at that time it was to prepare for my proposal to Xiaoyu, and you misunderstood. Putting that aside for now, don't you find what you just said ridiculous? Before this, how many times have you hurt Xiaoyu and Auntie? Don't you know that?"
Li Chenxu wasn't good at explaining, but he knew Mu Xiaoyu's personality. Since things had already come to this point, if he continued to remain silent, Mu Xiaoyu might very well misunderstand.
So even if we don't explain everything clearly now, we should at least let Mu Xiaoyu know that many things were not intentional on his part.
Moreover, although he had made some preparations for tonight, no one could guarantee that they would be alright until the very last moment. If they were really unlucky and something happened to them, Li Chenxu didn't want any misunderstandings to remain between them when they were about to die.
Li Chenxu did not explain why he had discussed marriage with his mother before they met, so Mu Xiaoyu was somewhat surprised when she heard Li Chenxu's words.
She opened her mouth as if to say something, but before she could utter a word, she felt a sharp pain in her waist.
Mu Pengzheng lost control of his emotions. The knife that was originally pressed against Mu Xiaoyu's waist was now thrust into her clothes with a sudden force.
Fortunately, because it was winter, Mu Xiaoyu was wearing relatively thin clothes, so when the knife pierced through her clothes, the knife didn't actually penetrate her flesh; it only cut her skin.
Even so, Mu Xiaoyu still felt pain. In addition, her head was throbbing as if it were about to explode, and all sorts of pains were intertwined, making her almost unable to hold back her tears.
"what you do!"
Li Chenxu was the first to realize that something was wrong with Mu Xiaoyu. When he saw the knife hilt disappear into Mu Xiaoyu's clothes, Li Chenxu's expression changed and he was about to rush towards Mu Pengzheng.
However, before Li Chenxu could fully reach them, Mu Pengzheng drew his knife and pressed it against Mu Xiaoyu's neck, gritting his teeth and saying frantically, "Do you think I'd believe what you just said? Stop spouting nonsense and call people in to take all those things off them. I'm taking her away right now!"
Mu Xiaoyu's mother still had an IV drip in her hand and was being monitored by numerous instruments. It's unclear what problems she might be suffering from, but anyone with a modicum of common sense or clear head could tell from her current state that her condition was far from optimistic.
If we take them away like this, who knows what might happen next.
Unfortunately, Mu Pengzheng seems to be obsessed now. No matter what Li Chenxu and the others say, he will not believe them and insists on going his own way.
Mu Xiaoyu was much more sober at this moment. Although she had always hated her mother for not resisting Mu Pengzheng all these years, her love for her over the years was genuine, and the bond between mother and daughter was real.
At this point, how could she possibly stand by and watch Mu Peng take her mother away!
Originally, Mu Xiaoyu hadn't intended to struggle, since she had nothing to help her escape, and if she struggled, she might really lose her life.
But now, she has to give it her all.
At this moment, Mu Xiaoyu was even grateful for the stab Mu Peng had just delivered to her. It was that stab that had brought her to her senses.
Mu Xiaoyu gritted her teeth and tried her best to endure the pain in her body. She observed Mu Pengzheng beside her without making a sound, paying attention to his emotions.
When most people become emotionally unstable, their physical movements also become uncontrollable.
Therefore, Mu Pengzheng must have made some oversights at this time.
And this is the time for Mu Xiaoyu to take the opportunity to leave Mu Pengzheng!
Li Chenxu was also keeping a close eye on Mu Erpan's movements. He felt as if his heart was being repeatedly stabbed by a sharp knife, and the pain had almost numbed him.
He closed his eyes tightly, trying to calm himself down. He didn't answer Mu Pengzheng immediately, but instead looked at Mu Xiaoyu's mother on the hospital bed.
Li Chenxu was willing to extend his love to Mu Xiaoyu's family, so he had never abandoned Mu Xiaoyu's mother over the years. However, when faced with life and death, he would still choose Mu Xiaoyu without hesitation.
If Mu Xiaoyu weren't present, Li Chenxu wouldn't have even bothered to ask for Mu Xiaoyu's mother's opinion. He would have simply sent Mu Xiaoyu's mother away as Mu Pengzheng had requested.
But now, he can't.
Sensing Li Chenxu's gaze, Mu Xiaoyu's mother smiled slightly, then nodded to Li Chenxu and said, "Let them in. I can forgive my cowardice before, but I can't be like that again."
"mom!"
This time, Mu Xiaoyu finally reacted. From the moment she entered the ward and discovered that her mother was still alive until the moment before, she hadn't had much of a reaction, and hadn't even called out the word "Mom" once.
If someone didn't know the truth, they would really think that Mu Xiaoyu was completely disappointed in her mother.
But this one "Mom" shows that she still cares about her.
Mu Xiaoyu's mother also noticed this, and a hint of a smile finally appeared on her usually calm face.
She lowered her eyes, not looking at Mu Xiaoyu for a long time, before speaking slowly, "Xiaoyu, all these years, Mom has owed you an apology. I know I may not have the right to say this to you, but... if I don't say it now, I don't know if I'll ever have the chance again. I hope... you can forgive me. Chen Xu is a very good boy. There may be many misunderstandings between you, but believe Mom, everything he did was for you. You should live a good life with him from now on."
