Chapter 25
Falling For The Contract Bride
Chapter 25 Let Lu Jinye Be Mu Xiaomuâs Father
Xu Changshu was all ears, but it was already too late by the time she stepped forward and overturned
Mu Zhiâs phone.
Mu Zhi looked at Xu Changshu calmly, âAre you satisfied with my effort in trying to solve this
quandary?â
âYou!â
Xu Changshu clenched her fists angrily. At this moment, she could neither leave, nor stay.
She took a deep breath, straightened herself and looked at Mu Zhi, âYou donât need to scare me like
this. Let me tell you what, thereâs nothing wrong at all with what I did back then!â
âYes, you did nothing wrong. So, when Lu Junnian comes here later, we will make things clear between
all of us and have him stop pestering me!â
Lu Jinyeâs company was not very far from this hospital. His security guards completely surrounded the
scene without a hitch.
Lu Junnian also arrived surprisingly fast.
When Lu Junnian arrived, Mu Zhi and Xu Changshu were still arguing, and the stakes were already
high.
Xu Changshu had been quick to argue that a woman like Mu Zhi was not worthy of entering her family.
âYou clearly know yourself what you have done to Junnian!â
âDonât you think that I will be afraid of you just because you called Junnian over.â
Mu Zhi did not utter a single word. When she saw Lu Junnian from afar, she calmed herself down, and
walked towards Lu Junnian.
Lu Junnianâs face was brimming with gloominess at this point. He stared at Xu Changshu and said
coldly, âMom, what are you doing here?â
âYouâve heard what your mother said herself. Let me tell you, a few years ago, when you left, I tried my
best to find you. But your mother used my experimental data to drive me out of the medical industry.â
âAlso, I have no intention of marrying you now at all, you and your mother should stop bothering me!â
After saying this, Mu Zhi turned around and walked away.
However, Lu Junnian was completely stunned by her words.
He frowned deeply and stared at Xu Changshu, and after a long time, he asked, âMom, was what Mu
Zhi said true?â
He knew that Mu Zhi was talented enough to gain a foothold in the medical field. It was her dream. She
did all these for her mother!
If her career was ruined, it would undoubtedly ruin her at the same time.
Xu Changshu didnât display the slightest guilt on her face, âHow could what she said be true? And so
what if it were true? She was in the wrong first for having bad intentions.â
Mu Zhi could hear her. But she did not look back.
She led Lu Jinyeâs security team out of the hospital and sent them away. She quickly called Jian
Xiaoning up and asked for the paediatricianâs number. Then, she called him for his address so that she
could go get Mu Xiaomu.
Mu Zhi immediately brought Mu Xiaomu through the hospitalâs discharge process and took her back
home.
She didnât know if Lu Junnian and Xu Changshu would quarrel, or which truth would Lu Junnian
discover, but it didnât matter anymore.
In fact, Mu Zhi hadnât wanted the truths to surface in the first place, but it didnât matter anymore⦠She
felt calm now.
However, just as she reached home and had Mu Xiaomu settled down, she received a call from Lu
Junnian.
Mu Zhi hesitated to answer.
But Lu Junnian seemed not to have the means of giving up, so Mu Zhi had no choice but to answer it.
She held the phone and paused before picking it up.
âHello?â
âIâd like to talk to you.â
âAbout what?â
Mu Zhi looked extremely calm.
âIâm sorry.â
She didnât expect Lu Junnian to apologize to her so abruptly.
âI apologize for my motherâs behavior, but I still want to see you and I hope youâd give me a chance.â
Mu Zhi held the phone tightly, and after a long time, she told Lu Junnian gently, âForget it. Thereâs no
need.â
She hung up right after she had spoken.
Mu Xiaomu walked up towards Mu Zhi obediently, handed a small cup of yogurt to Mu Zhi and said,
âMommy, have some yogurt.â
Mu Zhi bowed her head, hugged Mu Xiaomu and returned her yogurt to Mu Xiaomu, and smiled softly,
âYou drink it, mommyâs full.â
âMommy, yogurt makes you happy.â
Mu Xiaomu blinked her cute, round eyes earnestly as she responded to Mu Zhi.
Mu Zhi face lit up as she felt her heart soften.
She kissed Mu Xiaomu and sat on the sofa with her for a while.
She didnât know who that man was during that night years ago. In addition, she was framed by Xu
Changshu and had nowhere to go. She also thought of having an abortion, but then she could not bring
her heart to do it.
Other children were born crying, but Mu Xiaomu was born smiling.
At that moment, not only the nurses in the delivery room were charmed by her, even Mu Zhi felt that it
was worth giving birth to Mu Xiaomu.
Mu Xiaomu was also very obedient afterward. She rarely cried and was super cute, like a little angel
sent by the gods to save her.
Just as Mu Zhi and Mu Xiaomu were playing happily, Mu Zhiâs cell phone rang again.
She quickly picked up the phone. Jian Xiaoning spoke excitedly, âHey, what do you think about the
blind date I introduced you?â
âDonât, donât, please donât introduce me again, thank you.â
Mu Zhi refused at once.
Jian Xiaoning sounded a bit disappointed, âDr. Cui is also quite excellent. Although he is not as
shipshape as Lu Jinye and Lu Junnian, at least he has a clean history.â
This sentence was true enough.
Mu Zhi felt a little helpless and was at a loss for words.
She sighed, âI donât have a clean history, and I donât deserve him. Please donât set me up for a blind
date anymore in the future.â
âAh, yes!â
Suddenly, Jian Xiaoning seemed to have experienced an epiphany and exclaimed, âYou can actually
consider letting Lu Jinye be Mu Xiaomuâs father. Donât divorce.â
âPftt!â
Fortunately, Mu Zhi hadnât had her water yet, so she did not spit-take, âCome on, my position as Mrs.
Lu is not even guaranteed.â
âDo you have anything else to say? If you are done, I shall hang up.â
Mu Zhi got tired and wanted to hang up, but Jian Xiaoning suddenly got serious.
âBy the way, I am calling you this time to tell you a serious matter.â
âWhat?â
Mu Zhi asked.
âItâs Childrenâs Day in three days, and Mu Xiaomu will have a performance. I happen to be going back
that day so I donât know if I can make it in time. You must attend.â
âYeah. Okay, I get it.â
Mu Zhi really hung up this time.
However, not long after she ended the phone call, Lu Jinye sent her a message which frightened her so
much, she almost dropped the phone.
Lu Jinye only sent three photos, one was her with Dr. Cui Dawei on the blind date, one was Xu
Changshu coming to quarrel, and the other was Lu Junnian seemingly having a quibble with Xu
Changshu.
