Chapter 239 Are We Still Holding the Wedding as Planned?

“Zhu Sha…”

Mu Zhi was infuriated by Lu Junnian’s condition! She wanted to chase after Zhu Sha.

However, Lu Junnian held an arm up to block her path. He said, “Don’t go after her. She will be fine.”

Mu Zhi slapped Lu Junnian across the face.

“Lu Junnian! Can you please be more accountable for your actions?!”

Mu Zhi glared at him, shuddering all over. “We are over, over! Zhu Sha has your child, would you be

responsible for her?”

“How are we over? Mu Zhi, you can’t claim that before I agree to it. I know that I need to be responsible

for my actions. But what about my feelings? I don’t love Zhu Sha. She was the one who’s been rubbing

herself onto me!”

“All you know is Zhu Sha is pregnant with my child. But do you know how she got it? I thought she was

you!”

“Mu Zhi, could you please stop fooling yourself? If Mu Xiaomu wasn’t Lu Jinye’s child, you wouldn’t

insist on marrying him.”

Mu Zhi could not be bothered to linger in the pointless debate.

She lowered her eyes and uttered, “You’ve had too much to drink, I don’t want to talk to you.”

Finishing what she had to say, she turned around and returned to the villa.

Lu Junnian scurried towards her, but Mu Zhi ordered the guard apathetically, “Stop him!”

Then, she headed home decisively.

She switched off all the lights at home to drown herself in darkness.

Lifting her phone in the air, she pondered briefly and decided to make a call to Zhu Sha.

She needed to apologize.

And she was concerned for Zhu Sha’s wellbeing.

The phone went through, but Zhu Sha did not pick up her call.

It took Mu Zhi countless attempts before the call was finally answered, and Mu Zhi was greeted with a

cracked voice.

“Can you stop calling me? I find your voice disgusting!”

“Things weren’t what they seemed, please listen to me.”

Mu Zhi bit her lips and frantically explained, afraid that Zhu Sha would hang up on her.

But Zhu Sha responded with a scornful chuckle.

“What do you mean by things are not what they seemed? Is it not enough that I caught you kissing?!”

Zhu Sha was a sensible woman. She had never snarled at Mu Zhi in this tone before.

Mu Zhi understood that she was lost in a fit of anger but felt the obligation to explain herself.

“I know that you’re angry, and you won’t listen to anything I say, but I must clarify Lu Junnian and I don’t

have a thing between us.”

“Heh, don’t have a thing!”

Zhu Sha scoffed, “Then what did I just witness?”

“Are you planning to say that you don’t feel anything for him. Lu Junnian forced his kiss upon you, and I

just happened to show up at the right time?”

Mu Zhi was left with no word.

So what if she said yes?

She would do nothing but anger Zhu Sha even further!

“Coincidence? Hoho! Mu Zhi, I was too naïve to trust you!”

“You’re a two-faced bitch! An egregious, fake, two-faced bitch!”

Zhu Sha was angry and flustered at the same time!

“No, this is all a misunderstanding.”

“What misunderstanding?”

Zhu Sha’s voice was shuddering, “You’re just all talk and no action. Don’t you find it disgraceful for what

you’ve done?!”

“I can’t help but feel sorry for you!”

Zhu Sha started chuckling sarcastically, “You told me not to imitate you just so you could prove your

charms, right?!”

“That’s hilarious, I was such a fool for trusting you. I gullibly thought that you were on my side, but I

suppose you must be secretly laughing at me!”

Zhu Sha had lost control of herself at this point. Tears surged down her eyes like a violent flood!

Meanwhile, Mu Zhi held her phone by her ear silently. She no longer wanted to explain herself.

How was she going to talk herself out of the situation?!

The problem stemmed from Lu Junnian. Regardless of how hard she tried, she would only complicate

things further!

At the end of the day, Lu Junnian had to be the one who resolves the dreadfulness in her heart.

Secretly sighing, Mu Zhi could only say to Zhu Sha, “I don’t think I can say anything to help with the

situation at this point. Have a good sleep, and let me know if you need any help. Sorry.”

Although Mu Zhi had not done anything wrong, she felt that she was the cause of Zhu Sha’s torments,

and she was remorseful for it.

Zhu Sha did not say anything in response. She hung up the call right away.

Casting her gaze at the elegant moonlight, Mu Zhi heaved a deep sigh. It was a quiet and serenade

night, but Mu Zhi had no desire to fall asleep.

She slumped on the bed, browsed her phone lifelessly, and picked a random movie to see. But very

quickly, a window popped up on her screen!

‘Caught having an affair leading up to her wedding with Lu Jinye, how dry is this woman?’

Mu Zhi would usually ignore such a headline.

But seeing that there was a mention of Lu Jinye’s name, it must be related to her.

Thus, she ended up opening it.

The content of the article was almost the same as the scandalous news she was involved in before.

The only difference was the attached pictures. It showed her kissing passionately with Lu Junnian!

Mu Zhi had just finished reading the article when she discovered that news about them had taken

social media by storm!

She witnessed one headline after another popping up on her screen but was too exhausted to open

them.

She didn’t even feel the need to defend herself.

This! Is! Nerve-wracking!

Slumping on the bed like a slug, Mu Zhi stared blankly at the ceiling while a catastrophe was rapidly

brewing on social medial.

Users of the internet were quick to judge Mu Zhi, calling her out as a disgusting bitch, while none said

anything about Lu Junnian.

Numerous comments swamped at Mu Zhi to portray her as a villain who wanted to wipe out half of all

life with a snap of a finger.

Some even speculated that Mu Zhi would be dumped in the future.

None of them had met Mu Zhi in real life, neither did they have the slightest idea of what Mu Zhi was

like personally. However, the users who tormented her were fiercer than Scarlet Witch avenging the

death of her husband!

The following day.

The morning sunlight glared at City A’s hustle-bustle, but it was not enough to bring up the icy-cold

temperature.

In the VIP passageway at the airport, Lu Jinye was alighting the plane nonchalantly with his personal

assistants group.

After informing his client in Europe of his findings, they followed the trail and barely managed to find

anything useful due to the issue’s complication.

The issue could not be solved within a matter of days. It was inefficient to dwell on that issue.

Thus, Lu Jinye had decided to return home.

He chose to take the next flight without informing Mu Zhi to give her a surprise.

As soon as Lu Jinye stepped out of the airport, Linda came scurrying towards him and anxiously

ushered him into the car.

Upon entering the car, Linda spontaneously handed Lu Jinye the documents which he told her to

prepare beforehand, then said hesitantly, “Mr. Lu, as per your order, this is a list of quotes from the best

hotels and event management companies in town, along with terms and conditions for clients.”

Lu Jinye did not bat an eye at Linda before receiving the documents and started skimming through

them.

However, he espied Linda continuing to face him, as though she had more to say.

He raised his eyes and asked, “What’s the matter? Is there anything you’d like to tell me?”

“M-Mr… Chairman, are we still holding the wedding as planned?”

As soon as she finished those words, Linda could feel the tension in the air escalating.
