Chapter 12
Falling For The Contract Bride
Chapter 12 Is It Normal For Your Family To Be Harum-Scarum?
Mu Zhi specially chose a mini white evening dress. She looked dignified, yet casual with some light
makeup on. When she was done, Lu Jinye took a necklace and put it on for her before heading out.
Mu Zhi looked at the necklace. She couldnât help but feel curious, because this gift looked used, and it
only had a small red heart-shaped diamond on it. It was different from the luxurious gifts Lu Jinye had
given her.
âThis is the necklace my mother picked when she was still around for her future daughter-in-law.â
Lu Jinye explained lightly.
âThen I shall return it after today.â Mu Zhi was fully self-aware.
Lu Jinye did not answer her. He let Mu Zhi hold his arm and get into the car. Then, they headed
towards the Luâs Manor.
In the past, Mu Zhi knew that Lu Jinye had a wealthy family, but Mu Zhi did not know that Lu Jinyeâs
family was rolling in cash!
The Luâs Manor looked almost like a kingdom. It was situated in a relatively marginal area of the south-
eastern corner of City A. From a distance, Mu Zhi could see well-organized houses built in the
humongous manor. After Mu Zhi followed Lu Jinye into the manor, it took them a while to arrive at the
main courtyard. They got off the car and walked in. Inside the manor, it was even more extraordinarily
splendorous, an understated luxury.
Mu Zhi suddenly felt that she might be stupid to divorce Lu Jinye. It was a pity if she hadnât ridden on
his coattails for a bit.
As soon as Mu Zhi entered the door, she saw an old man sitting in the living room. His hair had turned
gray, but his eyes were brimming with authority, confident and assertive.
âFather.â Mu Zhi recognized him spontaneously and hurriedly called out with a smile on her face.
Lu Jinye did not call Master Lu father. He just reached out and handed the items in his hands to the
housekeeper beside him, and asked, âIs Ming here?â
âLu Leiming has gone to pick your new sister-in-law.â
As soon as he finished his words, a clear and loud voice suddenly came from upstairs.
âYe, you are back! Come! Let me have a look at my knowledgeable sister-in-law!â
While saying that, he walked downstairs.
Mu Zhi looked at the man in front of her. He looked beautiful but wicked. His peachy eyes were
fascinating, and his demeanor seemed unruly.
âMy name is Lu Yunxi. How should I address you?â
âJust sister-in-law is fine.â Lu Jinye responded Lu Yunxi.
âOf course my sister-in-law is called sister-in-law, but I need to know her name too. I have long heard
that she is very smart. Now that Iâve seen for myself that sheâs a true beauty, Iâd like to know her
name.â
âCome to the study with me.â
Without waiting for Mu Zhi to reply Lu Yunxi, Master Lu told Lu Jinye to go to the study.
Mu Zhi and Lu Yunxi were left alone, so Mu Zhi had no choice but tell Lu Yunxi her name, âMu Zhi.â
âIs it the same characters as the herbal substance Mu Zhi? It sounds great!â
Lu Yunxi was simply too talkative.
While Mu Zhi looked at Lu Yunxi, and then turned her gaze upstairs with a frown.
âAre you and Lu Jinye birth siblings?â
âWeâre half siblings who share the same father.â
Lu Yunxi did not seem uncomfortable talking about this. Instead, he looked quite happy to be able to
chat with Mu Zhi, âJinye looks more like the master, only a little like his mother. I look more like my
mother, and only a little like the master. Thatâs why we donât look identical.â
âNo wonder.â
Mu Zhi nodded.
Lu Family was such a mess.
She had just come and what she heard had already confused her.
On the other hand, Lu Yunxi was more than happy to share their family background, âMy eldest brother
will come later, so youâll be able to see him then. Both of us look different too. He took on equal parts of
the features of his mother and master.â
ââ¦â Mu Zhi couldnât help but widen her eyes and stared at Lu Yunxi. She concluded, âSo, you all have
one dad and three moms?â
âVery smart.â
Lu Yunxi continued to boast.
No wonder Lu Jinye rarely returned to the manor. If it were her, she wouldnât want to come back too,
with such complicated relationships.
âIs it normal for your family to be harum-scarum?â
Before Master Lu came downstairs, Mu Zhi quickly asked.
