Falling For The Contract Bride

Chapter 139 Mr Lu Is Such a Cold-Blooded Creature

Mu Zhi curved her lips upward involuntarily to let out a scornful smile.

She thought she had Lu Jinye figured. But it seemed like she was too naïve to think so. The truth of the matter was, she never understood him.

“Go ahead.”

Mu Zhi’s tone was calm and composed.

“Umm… Secretary Mu, Mr. Lu said to settle the debt and move out from the apartment as soon as possible, which means he can’t wait for a week.”

Linda’s voice became increasingly softer towards the end. She too, agreed that Lu Jinye had gone too far.

But it did not seem to bother Mu Zhi. She responded indifferently, “Mmm, ok.”

“Umm…” Linda started stuttering once again, “I understand that what happens between Mr. Lu and you are personal, but I think you shouldn’t be too adamant, Secretary Mu, that is humiliating to Mr. Lu.”

“Linda, thank you, I need to go take a shower.”

Mu Zhi felt every bit of strength drained out of her. She could hardly manage to keep on with the phone call, so she wanted to hang up the call.

Linda did not pursue further and hung up right away.

Mu Zhi entered the bathroom, carefully avoided her injured elbow as she took a shower. After that, she went to lie on the bed. Her mind was completely blank throughout the process.

She did not ponder on Lu Jinye’s actions. Why he chose to do that and what his intentions were. She could not even bring herself to figure what was going through his mind during his decision making. Her mind was as blank as the eyeballs of the dead.

But she struggled to get some sleep. Her eyes were gaped open throughout the night until the first sunlight pierced the sky. She only managed to get a little sleep at dawn.

Mu Zhi was woken up by Liang Yunzhan’s call. He chivalrously invited Mu Xiaomu to his home for a play date. Realizing that she did not have the time to take care of Mu Xiaomu under the circumstances, she agreed to his invitation.

Liang Yunzhan sent his man to pick up Mu Xiaomu. It was around ten in the morning.

But less than half an hour after Mu Xiaomu was gone, Mu Zhi heard a series of clamoring coming from outside. The noise grew by the minute.

Following closely, the sound appeared to be right by her doorstep, “Here, it’s here, hang on, let me open it.”

Mu Zhi’s apartment was the only unit on the floor. Listening to the noise, she could not help but come to the door. Before the person outside managed to unlock it, she had opened it from inside. She stared and frowned at the fine-looking lady who rocked a youthful outfit, accompanied by an exceptionally arrogant demeanor.

The lady had plenty of servants following behind her, carrying her luggage of various sizes.
