Falling For The Contract Bride

Chapter 18

Chapter 18 Then Are You Not Jealous at All?

Mu Zhi stretched out her hand and hugged Xiaomu into her arms. She kissed Xiaomu and coaxed her, “Okay, take some delicious snacks and go back to your room. Let me talk to your godmother for a bit.”

“Uhhuh.”

Mu Xiaomu took a bottle of yogurt, put it into her mouth, and ran into her room obediently with her short legs.

After watching Mu Xiaomu enter the room, Mu Zhi relaxed on the sofa and sighed.

“Here, have a drink.”

Jian Xiaoning gave Mu Zhi a glass of freshly squeezed orange juice and said to her, “Why are you here today when you are supposed to be at work? This isn’t your style at all. Aren’t you afraid that Lu Jinye would find out?”

“Lu Jinye is going on a date with his true love.”

Mu Zhi took a sip of her orange juice, looked at Jian Xiaoning and suddenly sighed again.

Jian Xiaoning looked at Mu Zhi with a playful expression, “Then, are you not jealous at all?”

Mu Zhi rolled her eyes at Jian Xiaoning, and took another sip of orange juice, “I have no right to be jealous, I can’t even take care of myself now.”

“What?” Jian Xiaoning frowned and looked at Mu Zhi.

Mu Zhi looked helpless, “Lu Junnian is Lu Leiming’s son, and Lu Jinye is Lu Leiming’s younger brother. Can you understand this relationship?”

Mu Zhi looked forlorn after explaining everything.

Jian Xiaoning was eating lychees at that time and she almost swallowed the cores. She spat them out and laughed, “Hahaha, Mu Zhi, you… Hahaha, what are you going to do?”

She knew Lu Jinye’s character well, even though she had never seen him before.

As for Lu Junnian, Jian Xiaoning had seen and knew him, he was probably a counterfeit of Lu Jinye who was not fully developed yet.

Mu Zhi gave Jian Xiaoning another helpless look, “What else can I do?”

Just as she said this, her phone rang. Mu Zhi glanced at it, and quickly picked it up. It was a strange number.

However, it was Lu Junnian’s voice.

“Where are you?”

He went straight to the point.

Mu Zhi did not know how to face Lu Junnian. She almost hung up the phone without second thoughts.

She thought Lu Junnian would call again, but it didn’t happen.

Just when Mu Zhi thought Lu Junnian had given up, she received another call. This time it was from a private hospital. This private hospital was very well-known. Back then, Mu Zhi had thought of transferring her mother over. Unfortunately, the bill was exorbitant. She was afraid, so she didn’t go.

She hesitated and frowned, but still answered the call.

“Hello?”

Mu Zhi frowned, but the person at the other end of the phone said, “Hello, Miss Mu Zhi, I am Xu Jun from Junxin Hospital.”

“Hello, Mr. Xu Jun.”

Mu Zhi felt strange about the dean of the hospital, Xu Jun’s means of calling her, but she still replied courteously.

“You see Miss Mu Zhi, I used to pay attention to your medical results a few years ago. Where do you work now? Are you interested in coming to our hospital?”

This question put Mu Zhi in astonishment.

In fact, she had always wanted to go back to the hospital to work for the past few years, but the hospitals she went previously were concerned about her discrediting by Xu Changshu. They refused to give her a chance.

She had been studying all these years.

But she had no chance in returning to work in the hospital anymore.

“You… Did you make the wrong call?”

Mu Zhi could not believe what she heard. She asked the other end of the call in confusion, but Mr. Xu Jun replied her, extremely sincere, “No, I’m sure I’m calling Miss Mu Zhi and inviting you to come work in our hospital. I’ve seen several of your reports few years back, you have many unique insights about the mind and the brain.”

After hearing these words, Mu Zhi was completely stunned.

It was true!

“I…”

Of course she would!

Mu Zhi never dreamed that she would have such opportunity!

“Do you have time? You can visit our hospital.”

“Okay.”

Mr. Xu Jun had a good reputation in the industry, and he was quite the age too. Even if not for work, she should also visit him out of respect.

After Mu Zhi hung up, she glanced at Jian Xiaoning nervously.

“What happened?” NôvelDrama.Org © 2024.

Jian Xiaoning noticed Mu Zhi’s nervousness and asked carefully. When Mu Zhi told her the whole story, Jian Xiaoning was particularly excited.

“Go, haven’t you always wanted such an opportunity? Go, go!”

Jian Xiaoning spontaneously encouraged.

Mu Zhi wanted to talk about her concerns, but Jian Xiaoning had already pushed her to her feet, “If you wish to return to this industry, this is it. Hurry up, I will call the babysitter to come over and look after Mu Xiaomu. Let me accompany you to the hospital.”

The hesitation on Mu Zhi lingered. Jian Xiaoning glanced at her, “What are you waiting for? Let’s go. How do you plan to live on after you divorce? If Lu Jinye already has his true love, do you think you can continue to be his secretary in his company after the both of you have separated?”

No, of course not.

Jian Xiaoning was right.

Mu Zhi had no plans to stay by Lu Jinye’s side after their divorce, but after Jian Xiaoning’s reminder, there were even fewer reasons to stay complacent.

But if she did not stay with Lu Jinye, she could avoid dealing with him by going to a small company. However, she would not be able to support both herself and Mu Xiaomu with the pay cut.

Mu Zhi glanced at Jian Xiaoning and said to her, “Well, you need not accompany me, I can go myself.”

After saying these words, Mu Zhi said goodbye to Jian Xiaoning and left.

After leaving the house, she took a cab to Junxin Hospital, and then contacted Mr. Xu Jun again. Mr. Xu Jun came out to welcome Mu Zhi in person.

Mu Zhi followed Mr. Xu Jun to the office for a brief chat. As Mu Zhi had no clinical experience in the past few years, she was asked to sit for consultations and have a clinical internship. The salary was on a higher scale compared to the industry’s standard, but it was consistent with Junxin’s consistent salary standards’ practices.

Mr. Xu Jun was very professional and showed great admiration towards Mu Zhi, so Mu Zhi finally agreed to come to Junxin Hospital for an internship.

This was really something that could help her relieve her urgent need for a job. After all, she will leave Lu Jinye soon and needed to find another job again.

However, it was impossible for Mu Zhi to leave now to work at Junxin. She needed time to explain it clearly to Lu Jinye and transition jobs slowly.

Therefore, Mu Zhi decided to start working there in two weeks. She shall speak to Lu Jinye about resigning over the two weeks.

After Mu Zhi came out of Junxin Hospital, she called Lu Jinye.

The man’s voice on the other end was languid and casual, “What’s the matter?”

“Where are you, is it convenient for me to meet you?”

“At the office.”

After Lu Jinye told Mu Zhi his location, he hung up.

Mu Zhi thought that if Lu Jinye was in the office, he must be he alone. Xiao Qingqing should not be there. However, when Mu Zhi went to Lu Jinye’s office, she was met with Xiao Qingqing as soon as she opened the door.
