Falling For The Contract Bride

Chapter 235 I Hope You Could Get More Love

The chauffeur bought breakfast for Mu Zhi. It was youtiao and soybean curd. “The motel doesn’t provide breakfast, I bought these from the village. I chose the cleanest one I could find, I hope it doesn’t bother you, madam.”

“I’m fine, thanks.”

Mu Zhi expressed her gratitude. She sat in the yard to enjoy breakfast with the chauffeur when he said casually, “In case you get frightened again, I’ve spoken to some of the villagers. Some of the older folks have heard of the name Mu Xue. I’ve also asked about your father, Mu Xianyong. Both of your parents left the village a long time ago, so I couldn’t find much information about them.”

Taking a bite at the youtiao, Mu Zhi was disheartened to hear the news.

“Has anyone seen how my father looks like?”

The chauffeur shook his head.

“This is a rural village. I heard that the only doctor who worked here got leprosy. None of the students who left for university studies was willing to return to this village, and as a result, the average age in the village is much older than the city.”

By the sound of his words, it was almost impossible to find any clue at all.

All Mu Zhi could confirm was that there was a Mu Xianyong and some information that matched what Mu Xianyong had told her.

Even in that case, Mu Zhi felt that was good enough.

When they set off for the city, they passed by her mother’s home. The strange man was painting the door in bright red. It was an overbearing shade of red.

After completing the repainting, the man added a word in white, ‘Death!’

That sent a shiver down Mu Zhi’s spine.

She hesitated for a while but did not dare to approach the man to ask him about his actions.

She exchanged glances with the chauffeur as they slowly headed towards their car on feet.

The chauffeur was guarding her from behind.

Their journey out of the village was faster than when they came in because the road was much clearer during the day. They managed to arrive at City A before sunset, and as soon as they did, Mu Zhi received a phone call.
