Chapter 306 Let Me Think About It

"So, do you have a decision in mind now?"

After a few seconds of silence, Mu Xiaoyu asked. Although she didn't know her mother completely, she knew her to some extent. Since she was saying such a thing now, it meant that she must have thought about it for a long time.

Upon hearing this, Mu Xiaoyu's mother smiled slightly, then shook her head: "Not yet. But Xiaoyu, why did you suddenly bring this up? Has something happened?"

"No……"

Mu Xiaoyu immediately denied it, but in her mother's eyes, her behavior only made things worse.

She smiled, then took Mu Xiaoyu's hand and gently patted the back of it: "Xiaoyu, we are mother and son. You were born after I carried you for ten months. You are the person I love most in this world. What can't we talk about?"

Mu Xiaoyu remained silent. She didn't intend to tell her mother about Mu Pengzheng's desire to see her at this time. She wanted to consider it herself, whether or not she wanted to see Mu Pengzheng. Only after she had made a rough decision would she tell her mother.

But now, things seem to be heading in a direction she couldn't have predicted.

"Mom, I really can't tell you right now."

"Is it related to Mu Pengzheng? You suddenly asked me if I wanted to see him. Did he threaten you in some way?"

Mu Xiaoyu's mother wasn't exactly a bright person, but she was a mother, and she saw Mu Xiaoyu's predicament. No matter how unintelligent she was, she would try her best to figure out why Mu Xiaoyu was acting this way.

Mu Xiaoyu was surprised that her mother had guessed so quickly. She frowned as she looked at her mother and became even more hesitant.

"Xiaoyu, you've seen my current condition. I might leave any day now. I owe you so much in the past, and I have so many regrets in my heart. Do you want to see me leave with regrets?"

"Mom! How could you say that!"

Mu Xiaoyu immediately became anxious. She saw that her mother was still alive, but if she had to see her mother die again, she simply couldn't bear the pain.

Previously, Mu Xiaoyu's mother thought that Mu Xiaoyu still harbored resentment about what happened back then, so she didn't dare to speak to Mu Xiaoyu too much. But now, hearing Mu Xiaoyu's words, she knew that Mu Xiaoyu had never truly resented her.

Thinking of this, she felt much more relaxed and at ease.

"Mom wasn't threatening you. It's just that, Xiaoyu, we're family. Can't we talk things out and solve them together?"

Now that things have come to this point, if Mu Xiaoyu were to still hesitate, even she herself would probably find it too long-winded.

So she didn't hesitate any longer, bit her lip, and told the other party that Mu Peng was going to see her mother.

However, Mu Xiaoyu did not tell her that Mu Pengzheng was using this to blackmail Li Chenxu and the others. She simply told her that Mu Pengzheng wanted to see her mother, as she did not want her mother to feel any burden because of this.

"Let me think about it. Come see me again in a couple of days, and I'll give you an answer then."

Mu Xiaoyu's mother remained silent for a while before answering. Actually, she had some guesses in her heart when Mu Xiaoyu asked her if she wanted to see Mu Pengzheng, but when the time came, she was not as open-minded as she thought.

Mu Xiaoyu gave a soft "hmm" upon hearing this. She frowned as she looked at her mother, wanting to tell her not to feel burdened, but seeing her mother's absent-minded expression, she swallowed back the words she was about to say.

Seeing her like this, Mu Xiaoyu was certain that she still had feelings for Mu Pengzheng.

However, this feeling is no longer the same as before, which was purely love.

Her feelings for Mu Pengzheng now may still include love, but also hate, and perhaps other emotions.

I wonder if Mu Pengzheng will regret it. He was the one who received the most love from his mother, but in the end, he destroyed the love that the woman he loved had for him, bit by bit, with his own hands.

When Mu Xiaoyu came out of the sanatorium, it was already afternoon. She looked up at the sky above, which was gradually becoming gloomy, and felt as if a stone was pressing down on her heart.

She didn't know whether telling her mother about Mu Pengzheng at this time was a good thing or a bad thing. Although she didn't mention that Mu Pengzheng was using this to blackmail them, she still felt uneasy.

My heart was pounding even faster than usual at that moment, and I wondered if something bad was about to happen...

Perhaps because Li Chenxu told the Li family about Mu Xiaoyu going to the sanatorium, the old master Li and his family haven't bothered Mu Xiaoyu these past few days. Not only that, but in order to persuade Mu Xiaoyu to convince her mother to go see Mu Pengzheng, the Li family has even sent Mu Xiaoyu various valuable gifts on several occasions.

In just a few days, tens of millions of yuan have already been spent.

Looking at the pile of gifts in front of her, Mu Xiaoyu couldn't help but sneer inwardly. What were those people from the Li family doing before? Now that they know they're in trouble, they're trying so hard to please her. She really looked down on them.

"Take these things back, I don't need them."

Mu Xiaoyu looked around at the gifts and finally said in a cold voice.

The maid inside the villa looked at Mu Xiaoyu in surprise upon hearing this, clearly not understanding why Mu Xiaoyu would leave these valuable gifts behind and instead return them.

"Madam, are you sure you don't want them? These were all gifts from the Li family."

"What do you need? Can't I afford it myself?"

As Mu Xiaoyu spoke, she turned to go upstairs, but after only a couple of steps, she suddenly seemed to remember something and turned back to the maids who were packing up, saying, "Never mind, let's keep it. Anyway, we didn't buy it with our own money, so why not take it?"

Upon hearing this, the maids immediately stopped what they were doing and cautiously asked Mu Xiaoyu, "Madam, should we put these things in the storage room or somewhere else?"

"Let's just put it in the storage room. It's not anything worthless. If we put it somewhere else and it gets damaged, and the Li family finds out, they might try to cause me trouble."

As Mu Xiaoyu spoke, she couldn't help but purse her lips. Thinking of the snobbishness of the Li family, she even found the gifts displeasing.

Fortunately, Li Chenxu did not live in the Li family's old house. If he had, Mu Xiaoyu would have lived a few years less.
