Falling For The Contract Bride

Chapter 234 Mu Xue Is Dead!

Mu Zhi did not stop Lu Jinye. She said to him, “Then hurry up and go.”

“Where are you heading?”

“I plan to visit my mom’s hometown.”

Lu Jinye did not press on. All he did was examine Mu Zhi’s condition before saying, “You don’t look that good today. Don’t drive. I’ll leave the chauffeur behind for you.”

“What about you…”

Mu Zhi stared at Lu Jinye in astonishment.

“I don’t need the chauffeur, and I can drive.”

Following that, Lu Jinye lifted his wrist to glance at the time, then said, “Things are changing rapidly over there. I need to go soon, see you.”

He leaned in to kiss Mu Zhi on the forehead, then grabbed his luggage and left.

Meanwhile, Lu Jinye’s chauffeur was waiting for her when she was washing up and getting changed.

She chose a casual outfit to go with a pair of walking shoes before getting into the car.

The hometown wasn’t too far away from City A, but the hilly roads were tough to drive.

It had been dozens of years since Mu Zhi left her hometown. She did not have any memory left of her hometown, and she never visited with her mother.

Lu Jinye’s chauffeur was responsible for finding their way to the village.

Wide, tar roads eventually transitioned into narrow, hilly streets as they advanced towards the village.

When they got closer, the roads became so narrow that the car could barely fit. The streets were mostly for pedestrians or occasionally for bicycle riders.

It was nightfall, and they still had not reached their destination.

“Luckily you took the SUV today.”
