Chapter 161 What Else Is More Important Than Getting Married

“Do you still recall that night? That person might be Mu Zhi! Mu Xiaomu is not Jian Xiaoning’s child,

she’s Mu Zhi’s! That means Mu Xiaomu might be you and Mu Zhi’s child!”

Lu Jinye’s vigorous saunter ceased. He turned around, and with his eyebrows knitted, he peered at Xu

Se.

It was as if he wanted to see through Xu Se.

Lu Jinye’s glare made Xu Se tremor in his legs and hesitate. Lu Jinye scared him. But after a while, he

mustered some courage and handed the laboratory results to Lu Jinye.

“See.”

In order to convince Lu Jinye, Xu Se even told Lu Jinye how he got to know about the story right from

the beginning carefully.

“You see… I had a tête-à-tête with Jian Xiaoning that day, then I mentioned how saddened I was about

your breakup with Mu Zhi. So we chatted a bit and discovered that the both of you actually had

something in common five years ago, and the thing is… The both of you could have slept with each

other!”

“Jian Xiaoning told me that Mu Xiaomu isn’t her child. Mu Zhi had to support and care of Mu Xiaomu at

that time so she lied to you and chose to marry you. Ever since, one lie begot more lies.”

Lu Jinye did not listen to Xu Se at all. He was glued to the laboratory report.

Then, he looked at Xu Se seriously and asked, “Where is Jian Xiaoning?”

Immediately after, he turned towards Secretary Linda and instructed, “Call Mu Zhi and have her see me

at once!”

Before Xu Se had the chance to tell Lu Jinye where Jian Xiaoning was, his phone rang.

It was his butler.

He immediately picked up the call. He heard the butler’s anxious tone, “Good grief, young master, the

little girl is gone!”

“What? The little girl is gone? Where did Mu Xiaomu go? Didn’t I instruct you to accompany her?”

Xu Se immediately reacted according to how he and Jian Xiaoning had planned.

He was pleasantly surprised and secretly praising his old butler’s acting skills.

Nevertheless, before he could even continue his words, the old butler said, “The little girl was playing

on her own at first. But all of a sudden, she wanted to go to the washroom, so we brought her there.

When Madam Zhang went to get her after that, she was gone!”

Heh, this old butler had actually coughed up a decent tale.

“Alright, I understand. Go search for her at once. I will go right after!”

Xu Se immediately displayed an array of pressing urgency. He looked into Lu Jinye’s eyes after

hanging up.

Apparently, Lu Jinye had heard everything from aside. His face turned moss green, as he ordered his

men who were standing behind him, “Inform Xiao Qingqing right now that the wedding is postponed.”

“Instruct all bodyguards to head to Xu’s Villa for a quiet search for Mu Xiaomu!”

“Yes, sir!”

Linda responded promptly.

But she wavered for a while, and asked Lu Jinye, “How about Miss Mu? Shall we inform her? I’ve

talked to her on the phone just now to ask where she was. She claimed to be in Xiao Qingqing’s bridal

house.”

“Okay, I’ll go to her!”

Everything happened in just a spur of a moment that Xu Se had no idea how to react towards Lu

Jinye’s smooth handling of the matter.

Because… He realized at once that this would turn out to be a complicated storyline. It would not be

something that he or Jian Xiaoning would understand.

Lu Jinye stepped on the gas and immediately made headway towards Xiao Qingqing’s bridal house.

Xu Se did not know what to do, so he followed suit.

As a matter of fact.

Xiao Qingqing had worn her wedding dress to show off to Mu Zhi. But just as she completed her

parade, someone rushed towards her hastily and cried, “Erm… Mr. Lu wants to postpone the wedding.”

Xiao Qingqing’s face froze as she locked eyes with the person in total repudiation.

“What is this all about?”

She lifted the train of her dress and rushed out. She wanted to ask Lu Jinye about this!

However, before she could step out of the door, she saw Lu Jinye striding over.

Lu Jinye saw Mu Zhi, in black, standing behind Xiao Qingqing.

He did not even have a glimpse at Xiao Qingqing at all. He instantly pulled Mu Zhi away by her hand.

Mu Zhi was confused. She tried to wriggle out of Lu Jinye’s grapple.

Albeit her efforts, Lu Jinye gripped her even harder, exhibiting no intention to release her.

“Where are you bringing me to?”

Mu Zhi hollered a warning as she was dragged by Lu Jinye, “Lu Jinye, you better let go of me at once!”

Lu Jinye took a glance back at Mu Zhi, and replied coldly, “It is not time for discussion now. This is not

a small matter that can be resolved with only for a short exchange. We shall go to Xu Se’s villa for

further deliberation.”

“If it cannot be resolved, why do we still need to go to Xu Se’s villa?”

Mu Zhi was chomped at the bit.

Lu Jinye must have worked together with Xiao Qingqing to hide Mu Xiaomu away from her. They must

be partners-in-crime!

And now Lu Jinye wanted to take her away by force too?

Xiao Qingqing was a bundle of nerves too at the same time.

Just as Mu Zhi jerked Lu Jinye’s hand away from hers, Xiao Qingqing hurried over, and blocked Lu

Jinye’s way.

“So are you planning to change your bride, bring Mu Zhi away and elope?”

There were no paparazzi watching them, just a few staff.

Hence, Xiao Qingqing did not pretend at all and asked boldly.

Lu Jinye’s eyes were cold and calm all the time. He sized Xiao Qingqing up and said gravely, “My

apologies. I have something else more important to tend to at this moment.”

“Huh.”

Xiao Qingqing snorted coldly. Even though she kept a prideful smile on her face, her eyes still brimmed

with tears.

“What else could be more important than getting married today?”

This question carried much distress and sorrow.

However, the next sentence Xiao Qingqing spoke of was a threat.

“Jinye, today’s wedding is an important day for the both of us, especially you. It is a huge change!”

Lu Jinye’s eyes remained dark and bleak.

But he still held onto Mu Zhi’s wrist tightly.

He merely dismissed Xiao Qingqing, “I have more important matters to settle.”

Mu Zhi had not the foggiest idea of what happened between Lu Jinye and Xiao Qingqing, but she

definitely refused to be taken away just like that.

She stepped back at once, and tried to pull her hand away from Lu Jinye’s.

But her attempts went in vain.

Lu Jinye persisted in taking Mu Zhi away no matter how much she contended with him.

Lu Jinye took a brief glance at Mu Zhi. He did not bother to bring her to reason at all. He

instantaneously carried her into the car.
