Chapter 24
Falling For The Contract Bride
Chapter 24 Come, I Will Tell You the Truth
Mu Zhi didnât know how to respond Lu Jinye.
She stretched out her hand and rubbed her right cheek. After pondering briefly, she replied, âSo, you
know everything?â
âWhat?â
Mu Zhi smiled embarrassedly, âI⦠Iâm sorry.â
For giving your true love a box on the ear.
Mu Zhi didnât express her train of thought. She simply kept mum about it.
In fact, Mu Zhi would never have fought with Xiao Qingqing according to her nature, but she didnât
know why she couldnât keep her calm this time.
However, Lu Jinye didnât seem to blame Mu Zhi at all. He merely instructed, âGet yourself some
ointment and apply on it.â
âUnderstood.â
After that, Mu Zhi wanted to hang up.
Before she bade goodbye, an adorable girlâs voice suddenly sounded aloud, âYou all are talking
nonsense! My dad! My dad is the king of the forest!â
ââ¦â
Mu Zhi was so frightened that she hung up the phone.
She quickly turned around and looked at Mu Xiaomu, only to see the little girlâs eyes tightly closed. But
the expression on her face was stubbornly fierce, as if in a fight with someone.
Mu Zhi couldnât help but smile.
She reached out and smoothened Mu Xiaomuâs deeply knitted brows, and then sent another text
message to Lu Jinye, âThe colleagueâs child was sleep talking.â
Lu Jinye replied, âNo need to explain. I wouldnât assume that youâre hiding a kid.â
Looking at this sentence, Mu Zhi simply replied, âHoney, you naughty boy!â
Lu Jinye didnât reply, so Mu Zhi put her phone back into her pocket, and then turned around to continue
watching over Mu Xiaomu.
She considered Jian Xiaoningâs suggestion. What if she went and found Mu Xiaomuâs father?
That night, Mu Zhi slept on it.
The next morning, when Mu Zhi woke up, she took Mu Xiaomu to wash her face. After climbing back
onto the hospital bed to read, a man suddenly knocked on the door of Mu Xiaomuâs ward.
He looked neat and clean, and slightly older than Mu Zhi. He wore a pair of gold-framed glasses, and
looked like a typical doctor
He had some fruits and flowers in one hand, and a whole set of Barbie dolls in another.
âHello? Excuse meâ¦â
Mu Zhi looked around. There was only Mu Xiaomu and her in the ward now. The kid in the other bed
had moved wards last night.
She didnât know this man⦠So she thought he had gone to the wrong ward.
However, the man only pushed his glasses up his nose and smiled. He walked towards Mu Zhi,
stretched his hand out and shook her hand.
Mu Zhi was even more embarrassed from his gallantry.
âHello, you must be Doctor Mu Zhi, my name is Cui Dawei.â
âHi, Iâm Mu Zhi.â
Mu Zhi blinked and quickly glanced at the man in front of her.
âI am a doctor in the Hospital of Paediatric. I met Jian Xiaoning at a seminar.â
âSo, are you here for Xiaoning?â
Mu Zhi was even more puzzled, âXiaoning has gone to City Z for a meeting.â
âNo⦠Dr. Mu, you have misunderstood, Iâm here for you.â
âFor me?â
Mu Zhi was even more dazed. She had no idea what this man was trying to achieve.
However, the man did not rush to explain. He took his time. Pushing his glasses for the third time, he
said, âI am a graduate of China Medical University with a masterâs degree. I am 34 years old this year,
widowed and childless.â
âOh.â
Mu Zhi felt awkward.
She initially wanted to wait for Cui Dawei to finish his words, but she did not have the patience to do so.
Thus, she gritted her teeth and asked, âThen Dr. Cui, why are you here?â
âFor a blind date. Would you like to introduce yourself, Dr. Mu?â
He looked at Mu Zhi solemnly.
Mu Zhi finally understood now that she heard him ask this. Jian Xiaoning had arranged a blind date for
her!
âEr⦠There must be a misunderstanding here.â
Mu Zhi contemplated for a while and then said, âI think Iâm⦠Not readyâ¦â
Before Mu Zhi could finish explaining herself, the sound of hasty heels clicking approached from afar,
hinting at once a strong murderous atmosphere.
The person barged straight into Mu Zhiâs ward and opened the door. When Mu Zhi could recognize that
it was Xu Changshu, she was already slapped on the face by her!
Mu Zhi felt pain on her face instantly!
When she tried to return the favor, Xu Changshuâs bodyguard grabbed her hand and shook it off.
Only then did Xu Changshu speak, âMiss Mu, as a married woman, please have some self-respect for
yourself! Must women like you pester our family forever?â
âWhat do you mean? You better ask Junnian who the hound is!â
âHuh! I really donât know what measures women like you use to make my son reject a perfect marriage
for you.â
âIâm telling you Mu Zhi! Iâve never and will never let a person as lowly as you come into my household!â
Mu Zhi completely understood now. More and more people gathered around to watch, and Mu Xiaomu
who was aside had started crying in fear after witnessing the melodrama.
Mu Zhi didnât even respond to Xu Changshu, as if these words werenât for her at all. She turned
around, calmly picked up Mu Xiaomu, and then strode towards Dawei.
âDr. Cui, can you help me take care of this patient? Bring her for a walk in the garden.â
Although it was only the first time Mu Zhi met Cui Dawei, according to her understanding of Jian
Xiaoning, Cui Daweiâs character was probably trustworthy.
She can be rest assured that he would take good care of Mu Xiaomu.
Mu Xiaomu had been crying, but she had always been very sensible since young. Only after having Mu
Xiaomu coaxed and she had gone out with Cui Dawei did Mu Zhi slowly turned around.
However, this time, as soon as she turned around, the expression on her face transformed to be cold
and grim.
She quietly walked to Xu Changshuâs side. Eyes fixed at Xu Changshu, she picked up the phone and
called the receptionist.
âMr. Lu needs bodyguards at this instance. Have them come to ward 301 of the Paediatric Department
of the First Hospital.â
After saying this, she hung up the phone.
Then she looked at Xu Changshu in disdain.
âIâm telling you, itâs no use calling your bodyguards.â
âRelax and fret not, the bodyguards are not coming to teach you a lesson, theyâll be here just so youâd
restrain yourself and speak properly.â
âYou!â
Xu Changshu trembled with anger and tried to deal a blow to Mu Zhi again.
Mu Zhi took two steps back this time. Then she spoke.
âSince you wanted a dispute, we might as well clear the air. But having just the two of us is not
sufficient â¦â
After saying this, Mu Zhi picked up the phone and dialed another number.
She summarized, âJunnian, Iâm now in Ward 301 of the First Hospital. Come here right now and I shall
tell you the truth about why I married Lu Jinye!â
