Falling For The Contract Bride

Chapter 159 Did You Say Lu Jinye Had a One-Night Stand?!

Mu Zhi could not believe her ears when she heard those words.

She clutched the phone fiercely. But his voice was replaced by Xiao Qingqing out of a sudden.

Xiao Qingqing held his phone lightly. Every single word that came from her was mild and soft, but to Mu Zhi’s ears, they were screamingly provocative.

“Miss Mu, Jinye has never had a tinge of love for you. He’s only paying the medical bill for you out of goodwill. If you attend our wedding, your mother will continue to get her treatment while Jinye and I will be over the moon. That’s a win-win situation.

Xiao Qingqing paused and continued.

“Miss Mu, why put all of us on the spot?”

Upon hearing those words, Mu Zhi could feel her teeth cracking from clenching her jaws too hard.

But she refused to yield.

“Miss Xiao, does my presence at your wedding really make a big difference?”

Mu Zhi took her time to steady herself before asking.

Xiao Qingqing responded with hints of laughs, “Of course it does, I’d be over the moon if you could be here to bless Jinye and I, Miss Mu.”

“I wouldn’t want to make life too difficult for you. I’ll ask Jinye to send a chartered flight to pick you up at eight in the morning tomorrow for our wedding. We will be waiting for you, Miss Mu.”

Following that, Xiao Qingqing hung up on Mu Zhi.
