Falling For The Contract Bride

Chapter 25 Let Lu Jinye Be Mu Xiaomu’s Father

Xu Changshu was all ears, but it was already too late by the time she stepped forward and overturned Mu Zhi’s phone.

Mu Zhi looked at Xu Changshu calmly, “Are you satisfied with my effort in trying to solve this quandary?”

“You!”

Xu Changshu clenched her fists angrily. At this moment, she could neither leave, nor stay.

She took a deep breath, straightened herself and looked at Mu Zhi, “You don’t need to scare me like this. Let me tell you what, there’s nothing wrong at all with what I did back then!”

“Yes, you did nothing wrong. So, when Lu Junnian comes here later, we will make things clear between all of us and have him stop pestering me!”

Lu Jinye’s company was not very far from this hospital. His security guards completely surrounded the scene without a hitch.

Lu Junnian also arrived surprisingly fast.

When Lu Junnian arrived, Mu Zhi and Xu Changshu were still arguing, and the stakes were already high.

Xu Changshu had been quick to argue that a woman like Mu Zhi was not worthy of entering her family.

“You clearly know yourself what you have done to Junnian!”

“Don’t you think that I will be afraid of you just because you called Junnian over.”

Mu Zhi did not utter a single word. When she saw Lu Junnian from afar, she calmed herself down, and walked towards Lu Junnian.

Lu Junnian’s face was brimming with gloominess at this point. He stared at Xu Changshu and said coldly, “Mom, what are you doing here?”

“You’ve heard what your mother said herself. Let me tell you, a few years ago, when you left, I tried my best to find you. But your mother used my experimental data to drive me out of the medical industry.”

“Also, I have no intention of marrying you now at all, you and your mother should stop bothering me!”

After saying this, Mu Zhi turned around and walked away.

However, Lu Junnian was completely stunned by her words.

He frowned deeply and stared at Xu Changshu, and after a long time, he asked, “Mom, was what Mu Zhi said true?”

He knew that Mu Zhi was talented enough to gain a foothold in the medical field. It was her dream. She did all these for her mother!

If her career was ruined, it would undoubtedly ruin her at the same time.

Xu Changshu didn’t display the slightest guilt on her face, “How could what she said be true? And so what if it were true? She was in the wrong first for having bad intentions.”

Mu Zhi could hear her. But she did not look back.

She led Lu Jinye’s security team out of the hospital and sent them away. She quickly called Jian Xiaoning up and asked for the paediatrician’s number. Then, she called him for his address so that she could go get Mu Xiaomu.

Mu Zhi immediately brought Mu Xiaomu through the hospital’s discharge process and took her back home.

She didn’t know if Lu Junnian and Xu Changshu would quarrel, or which truth would Lu Junnian discover, but it didn’t matter anymore.

In fact, Mu Zhi hadn’t wanted the truths to surface in the first place, but it didn’t matter anymore… She felt calm now.

However, just as she reached home and had Mu Xiaomu settled down, she received a call from Lu Junnian. Please check at N/ôvel(D)rama.Org.

Mu Zhi hesitated to answer.

But Lu Junnian seemed not to have the means of giving up, so Mu Zhi had no choice but to answer it.

She held the phone and paused before picking it up.

“Hello?”

“I’d like to talk to you.”

“About what?”

Mu Zhi looked extremely calm.

“I’m sorry.”

She didn’t expect Lu Junnian to apologize to her so abruptly.

“I apologize for my mother’s behavior, but I still want to see you and I hope you’d give me a chance.”

Mu Zhi held the phone tightly, and after a long time, she told Lu Junnian gently, “Forget it. There’s no need.”

She hung up right after she had spoken.

Mu Xiaomu walked up towards Mu Zhi obediently, handed a small cup of yogurt to Mu Zhi and said, “Mommy, have some yogurt.”

Mu Zhi bowed her head, hugged Mu Xiaomu and returned her yogurt to Mu Xiaomu, and smiled softly, “You drink it, mommy’s full.”

“Mommy, yogurt makes you happy.”

Mu Xiaomu blinked her cute, round eyes earnestly as she responded to Mu Zhi.

Mu Zhi face lit up as she felt her heart soften.

She kissed Mu Xiaomu and sat on the sofa with her for a while.

She didn’t know who that man was during that night years ago. In addition, she was framed by Xu Changshu and had nowhere to go. She also thought of having an abortion, but then she could not bring her heart to do it.

Other children were born crying, but Mu Xiaomu was born smiling.

At that moment, not only the nurses in the delivery room were charmed by her, even Mu Zhi felt that it was worth giving birth to Mu Xiaomu.

Mu Xiaomu was also very obedient afterward. She rarely cried and was super cute, like a little angel sent by the gods to save her.

Just as Mu Zhi and Mu Xiaomu were playing happily, Mu Zhi’s cell phone rang again.

She quickly picked up the phone. Jian Xiaoning spoke excitedly, “Hey, what do you think about the blind date I introduced you?”

“Don’t, don’t, please don’t introduce me again, thank you.”

Mu Zhi refused at once.

Jian Xiaoning sounded a bit disappointed, “Dr. Cui is also quite excellent. Although he is not as shipshape as Lu Jinye and Lu Junnian, at least he has a clean history.”

This sentence was true enough.

Mu Zhi felt a little helpless and was at a loss for words.

She sighed, “I don’t have a clean history, and I don’t deserve him. Please don’t set me up for a blind date anymore in the future.”

“Ah, yes!”

Suddenly, Jian Xiaoning seemed to have experienced an epiphany and exclaimed, “You can actually consider letting Lu Jinye be Mu Xiaomu’s father. Don’t divorce.”

“Pftt!”

Fortunately, Mu Zhi hadn’t had her water yet, so she did not spit-take, “Come on, my position as Mrs. Lu is not even guaranteed.”

“Do you have anything else to say? If you are done, I shall hang up.”

Mu Zhi got tired and wanted to hang up, but Jian Xiaoning suddenly got serious.

“By the way, I am calling you this time to tell you a serious matter.”

“What?”

Mu Zhi asked.

“It’s Children’s Day in three days, and Mu Xiaomu will have a performance. I happen to be going back that day so I don’t know if I can make it in time. You must attend.”

“Yeah. Okay, I get it.”

Mu Zhi really hung up this time.

However, not long after she ended the phone call, Lu Jinye sent her a message which frightened her so much, she almost dropped the phone.

Lu Jinye only sent three photos, one was her with Dr. Cui Dawei on the blind date, one was Xu Changshu coming to quarrel, and the other was Lu Junnian seemingly having a quibble with Xu Changshu.
