Chapter 215
Falling For The Contract Bride
Chapter 215 The Lu Family No Longer Has Business Value!
Mu Zhi blinked in disbelief. She looked awkwardly at the approaching helicopter.
If it wasnât for forcing Linda to tell the truth, she would not have asked Xie Xiu for help.
Now everything had come to a full circle. She could not tell which was the beginning or the end
anymore!
The helicopter slowly approached Mu Zhiâs helicopter as though pressuring it to land.
As for her helicopter, the pilot had already decided to turn back.
Mu Zhi considered it for a while. She could not meet Xie Xiu presently, so the promise to have lunch
had to be met on another date. Right now, she had to rush back to be with Lu Jinye!
As such, Mu Zhi asked the pilot to speed up and head towards Lu Jinyeâs villa.
Originally, Xie Xiuâs instruction was just to fetch Miss Mu Zhi and bring her to him. But seeing that her
helicopter was uncooperative, the pilot was unsure what to do.
The secretary on board quickly gave Xie Xiu a call.
âMr. Xie, Miss Mu Zhi is uncooperative.â
âIn that case, follow her but do not hurt her.â
In the call, Xie Xiuâs tone did not seem angry so the secretary was a little confused. She had been with
Mr. Xie Xiu for many years and this was the first time⦠Someone had played a prank on Mr. Xie Xiu
and stood him up.
But she had to obey his instructions.
The moment the helicopter had landed on Lu Jinyeâs backyard, Mu Zhi jumped off and ran to search for
Lu Jinye.
Behind her, Xie Xiuâs secretary was running after her.
Mu Zhi promptly found the way to the compoundâs entrance and saw that Lu Jinye was there by
himself.
She was running very quickly and as she ran, her loosely tied hair came free. Since she was very
worried about Lu Jinye, it did not occur to her to tie them up.
She ran breathlessly to Lu Jinyeâs side. The scene before her caught her by surprise.
There was none of the chaos and violence that she had imagined.
Furthermore, she thought that the deceased family would bring a bunch of thugs to cause trouble, but
that wasnât the case either.
Seeing the situation before her, Mu Zhi couldnât resist blinking her eyes in bewilderment.
Lu Jinye had stood alone. There was no secretary with him, and he was watching a bread truck leaving
calmly.
The surroundings were no different from how it had usually seemed. Nothing had been altered.
âWhy have you returned?â
Lu Jinye turned around suddenly and saw a confused Mu Zhi.
Just a moment ago, Mu Zhi was thinking about facing dangers with Lu Jinye and being united with him
as a husband and wife. Instead, she found herself looking at a calm Lu Jinye and a surrounding that
bore no trace of turmoil.
âI⦠I think I have forgotten something, so I came back for it.â
Mu Zhi couldnât understand what was wrong with her. She could not bring herself to express that she
was worried about him, so she said that instead.
Lu Jinye couldnât help furrowing his brows as he went to Mu Zhiâs side, âYou were worried about me?â
Linda had followed behind Mu Zhi. She seemed crestfallen so Lu Jinye guessed that Mu Zhi must have
rushed over after knowing that he was dealing with some issues. This meant that Mu Zhi was definitely
worried about him.
âSeems like it was a false alarm.â
Mu Zhi looked at their surroundings and said to Lu Jinye.
âIt was not a scare. You have nearly lost me.â
Lu Jinye said with a very serious expression.
The relaxed air clung onto Mu Zhi instantly disappeared into tension once again. She frowned and
looked at Lu Jinye.
âWhat do you mean? Are you hurt?â
Seeing her reaction, Lu Jinye caressed and smoothened her hair. He was smiling as he said, âJust
wanted to see how you look when you are nervous. I was just joking.â
With that, he held Mu Zhiâs hand, âAlthough our plan has been delayed, we can continue towards our
destination.â
As he spoke, he took Mu Zhiâs hand and led her towards the house.
Actually, Mu Zhi and Lu Jinye were not alone there. Apart from Linda, there was also the pilot and Xie
Xiuâs secretary.
Mu Zhi was beautiful. Her beauty revealed itself the more one had their eyes on her.
On the other hand, Lu Jinye was very handsome. Passers-by could not resist stealing extra glances at
him on the streets!
Together, they were a good match.
Xie Xiu was also very handsome in a cold and mysterious way.
Xie Xiuâs secretary thought about these three people and imagined all the dramas that they could be
involved in. She wondered what she should do next?
Obviously, she could not go forward and block Mu Zhi, telling her that Xie Xiu was looking for her.
After some consideration, she took out her phone and took a photo behind Mu Zhi and Lu Jinye as they
were holding hands and sent it to Xie Xiu. She asked, âSir, what should I do? Should we continue to
bring Miss Mu Zhi back?â
Xie Xiu looked at the photograph sent to him. His face did not betray any emotions save for a slight
frown. âYou can return.â
âYes, sir.â
The secretary obeyed his instruction and returned.
Mu Zhi and Lu Jinye packed up and put their things into the car boot.
She climbed into the front passenger seat, waiting for Lu Jinye to get into the car after he finished
packing.
However, when Lu Jinye had just gotten into the car, his phone rang.
He frowned and said, âLinda, donât talk about work today.â
His tone was cold.
On the other side, Lindaâs voice was apologetic, âMr⦠Mr. Lu, Xie Xiu has divested.â
Mu Zhi had heard those words clearly.
She couldnât help but tremble anxiously.
She knew what the words signified.
At the moment⦠Lu Jinyeâs company was in a precarious condition. It had been facing a lot of crisis
since Lu Leiming had left and concentrated his effort to bring down the Lu familyâs businesses.
Lu Leimingâs actions were suicidal and with no regard to the consequences.
Meanwhile, Lu Jinye had decided not to marry Xiao Qingqing, and this had severely damaged his
reputation.
Even though⦠Lu Jinye had done sufficient public relations and helped to save the Lu familyâs
businesses from collapse, they were still unstable.
Although Xie Xiu companyâs capital injection was just like the icing on the cake for Lu Jinye, divestment
carried drastic consequences!
It was as if he had announced to the whole of the capital market that the Lu family no longer had any
business value!
