Be Careful, Scum Dad! Mommy Is Back!-Chapter 46 - : Qi Zha Accidentally Walks in on a Confession?
Chapter 46: Chapter 46: Qi Zha Accidentally Walks in on a Confession?
She couldn’t fathom the intent behind the voice on the other end of the phone, and her last question was tinged with nervousness, fearing he would drive her out of the Ji Family and sever her connections.
Ji Muye’s voice was cold, “Hmm, thank you for saving the child before.”
Liu Xixi’s hanging heart settled, and the moment the call ended, her eyes filled with malice and a fierce darkness.
She stared at the video sent by the private detective on her phone, Ji Muye had stayed at Lu Xining’s house ever since he returned home with her yesterday.
This morning, he even had Yan Dong come over to collect his luggage.
It seemed as though Ji Muye planned on staying at her place for a while.
...
No! She couldn’t let everything be destroyed; she had worked so hard to get to this point.
She absolutely couldn’t let Ji Muye and Lu Xining have too much contact, just in case old feelings reignited and everything was laid out in the open. With Ji Muye’s personality, what would be left for her!
“Quickly! Send out the videos of Lu Xining,” she messaged.
After sending the message, Liu Xixi revealed a smile full of determination.
On the other side, Lu Xining had just finished reading Song Henian’s medical report. His bodily functions were fine, but he just wasn’t waking up.
She had already arranged for her assistant to transfer him to the ZN laboratory, where the most precise equipment and medical personnel in the world were at hand.
Tomorrow, the assistant would arrange a comprehensive physical examination for Song Henian, and once the data report was out, she would need to make a visit herself.
It could take as little as two days or up to a week.
She could take Lu Nuonuo directly with her to stay, but Ji Chao and Ji Ze had school…
Lu Xining thought, perhaps she could find a holiday?
But before dealing with that, she had a favor to repay.
As soon as Ji Chao and Ji Ze finished school, they burst into the guest room.
Seeing Ji Muye working there, the children’s eyes lit up.
Ji Ze threw himself into Ji Muye’s arms, worriedly asking, “Dad, are you feeling any better?”
Ji Muye chatted with the two children in the guest room for a long time, until the butler called them to dinner. Ji Chao and Ji Ze each held one of his hands, leading him to the dining room to have dinner together.
Upon exiting the room, they were greeted by the rich aroma of food.
The two kids, having been at school all day, were already seduced by the smell of the food.
“Mom! Are we having the strengthening soup again today?”
Lu Xining, who had just come out of the kitchen, smiled and nodded, “Ji Chao, you don’t like it?”
Ji Chao shook his head, “No, I like it.”
Since the twins recovered, Lu Xining regularly stewed soup for them, a perfect blend of food and medicine, maximizing the effects.
The key was that these dishes tasted great, and both children loved them.
Ji Muye hadn’t known about Lu Xining making soup for the children before.
However, in this period, Ji Chao and Ji Ze’s health really improved. They had fewer colds and fevers, which meant Lu Xining as a mother was doing a much better job than before.
Ji Ze handed his own bowl of soup to him, eyes full of concern.
“Dad, Mom says this soup is good for your health.”
“You’ve not been well recently; take my bowl.”
Ji Muye, usually cold, revealed a smile and fondly stroked Ji Ze’s head, feeling very gratified.
“This is soup Mom made especially for you, you drink it, it’s okay.”
Lu Xining, holding Lu Nuonuo, came over and witnessed this affectionate father-son moment.
Ji Muye’s eyes, deep like a cold pond, quietly gazed at her, his thoughts unknown.
Sitting down to dinner with Ji Muye once again, Lu Xining maintained a calm expression, as if she only saw her three children, turning a blind eye to him.
The family ate with the children making noise and the adults quietly eating their meal, creating a strangely harmonious atmosphere.
Not until the next morning when Ji Muye left did Lu Xining finally breathe a sigh of relief.
After sending the children home, Lu Xining took the rare step of applying exquisite makeup and dressing in relatively formal clothes.
She drove herself to the City New Building.
The top-floor revolving restaurant was quite famous in Jingzhou, frequented by corporate executives, industry elites, and rich heirs.
By the time Lu Xining arrived, Jiang Jishu was already there.
His sister, Jiang Wanqing, was her college roommate and had helped her out once; their relationship had been quite good, apart from the two years Lu Xining had been away, during which they were mostly in touch.
Jiang Wanqing had died of cancer and on her deathbed, she pleaded with her for one thing.
If her brother ever came to her for help, she asked that Lu Xining help him as much as possible for her sake.
Jiang Jishu knew about this too.
Repaying a favor was the reason Lu Xining was here today.
Jiang Jishu looked haggard, with sunken cheeks—a sign he hadn’t rested properly in days—and when he saw her, he reacted as though he had seen a life-saving straw.
“Sister Ning, I’m begging you! Please help me!”
“I know you have contacts in ZN lab, please help me save someone…”
He spoke of this person with eyes full of remorse and bitterness.
After hearing his story.
Lu Xining countered indifferently, “Are you sure that girl, who you betrayed and who would rather die than be with you, would actually want to wake up?”
Jiang Jishu’s face turned deathly pale as if he had realized something, and he slumped into the chair, looking at her with a lost expression.
“Sister Ning, I just want her to live.”
Lu Xining looked at the man in front of her, who used to be spoken of so fondly by her friend as a clever younger brother, now on the path of a scoundrel.
“Knowing she couldn’t take it, why were you so half-hearted in the first place?”
“I…” Jiang Jishu found himself unable to produce a reason.
Even though he was the brother of her friend, Lu Xining’s attitude towards him remained cold and detached, and with everything he had said, there was now an added layer of scorn.
“I will save the person, but only for your sister’s sake.”
Upon hearing this, Jiang Jishu’s eyes sparkled with intense relief and excitement.
He nodded in haste, “I know, I know, thank you, Sister Ning.”
“But from today onwards, you and I have nothing to do with each other, and you don’t need to contact me anymore.”
Lu Xining stood up to leave and Jiang Jishu hurriedly followed her.
In his panic, he asked, “Sister Ning, how will I know if she’s woken up, can I be with her…”
His words were laden with worry, not seeming fake at all.
Lu Xining stopped in her tracks, looking into his eyes at the deep love he had for the girl he had hurt and scoffed lightly.
Such late-found affection was more contemptible than a common weed.
Her voice was grave, “If she dies, someone will contact you.”
“If no one contacts you, that means she’s alive, and she doesn’t want to see you. You know why.”
Lu Xining couldn’t fathom how a nice girl like Jiang Wanqing could have such a good-for-nothing brother.
Jiang Jishu followed her earnestly all the way to the elevator, still not giving up hope.
He stubbornly believed that a shattered mirror could still be mended!
He knew only that Lu Xining was connected to ZN lab, but not that she was its founder.
Jiang Jishu thought he could get updates on his beloved through her.

He grabbed Lu Xining’s arm, pleading desperately.
“Sister Ning, for the sake of our past, please don’t cut ties with me, I promise I won’t bother you after this.”
“Just an occasional update would leave me content.”
“I truly…” loved her.
Just knowing when she would wake up, when she would be discharged.
He saw a chance to redeem himself, to start afresh, vowing not to repeat his past mistakes.
Before Lu Xining could answer, the elevator doors opened.
A pair of cold and poised black eyes landed on the hand Jiang Jishu had on her arm, flashing a hint of self-mockery.
Ji Muye was, as always, clad in a bespoke black suit, his demeanor noble, his presence formidable, and he strode toward them with assured steps.
“Excuse me, please step aside.”
