Be Careful, Scum Dad! Mommy Is Back!-Chapter 47 - : Stumbling Upon a Secret

Chapter 47: Chapter 47: Stumbling Upon a Secret

Seeing Ji Muye in the elevator,

Jiang Jishu subconsciously looked up at Lu Xining.

He had heard his sister mention twice that she had married Ji Muye right after graduation.

He took a step forward, placing himself in front of Lu Xining.

Ji Muye watched him with an indifferent gaze, composed and not taking Jiang Jishu seriously at all.

The chill in his brows even more intense.

...

Lu Xining hadn’t expected to encounter Ji Muye here.

It hadn’t even been…

Three hours?

Since he had left her house.

She grabbed Jiang Jishu’s sleeve and pulled him behind her.

This scene in the eyes of Ji Muye came across as her protection for a pretty boy.

He smirked, “Is there a problem?”

Jiang Jishu was about to speak, but Lu Xining interrupted, “No problem.”

As people exited the elevator,

Lu Xining entered, with Jiang Jishu following close behind.

The interrupted request came rushing back.

Yan Dong watched his boss halt in his tracks with confusion,

then he heard Jiang Jishu’s voice in the elevator.

“Sister Ning, I beg you, please don’t cut ties with me.”

“I really know I was wrong, and I won’t dare to do it again.

Please give me another chance.

I promise to treat…”

“Really, I’ve completely cut off all those women!”

“It was just flirting; the one I truly love has always been…

From now on, I’ll be good to…”

Because of some distance, their words were intermittent.

Even so, Yan Dong felt a roller coaster dip in his heart:… The lady and the puppy love?

Oh no, why is it me who stumbles upon this again?

They didn’t hear anything that followed.

The elevator was already going down.

Ji Muye lifted his chin with sharp eyes and continued walking toward the reserved private room.

Yet Yan Dong felt the air around his boss had turned several degrees colder,

and he was covered in goosebumps.

After shaking off Jiang Jishu, Lu Xining went home to accompany her daughter.

Just after coaxing her precious daughter to nap, she came out and saw Ji Muye standing at her bedroom door.

She rubbed her eyes, doubting what she saw.

She had removed the bodyguard from the stairway after Ji Muye left the Lu Family that morning.

Who would have thought this man would come back again?

Lu Xining quietly closed the bedroom door and asked indifferently, “Is there something you need?”

With his superior bone structure and refined looks,

even without expressions, Ji Muye still couldn’t hide his too striking charm.

He pondered for a moment, then chose to tell her.

“I want to warn you, Jiang Jishu has a messy personal life, surrounded by women all the time.”

“A month ago, he caused the death of his girlfriend who was driven to jump off a building; she was pregnant with his child at the time.”

Lu Xining nodded, “So, what about it?”

She agreed to meet with Jiang Jishu solely because of Jiang Wanqing’s last wish.

But the reason she agreed to save that girl was not because of Jiang Jishu, but out of pity for the girl.

A silly girl willing to go through fire and water for love, yet now on the brink of death.

Such a good girl didn’t deserve to lie forever on the cold hospital bed as a lifeless vegetable.

Lu Xining was a kind-hearted person who had suffered hurt and betrayal herself and wanted to help girls in distress.

So, after leaving City New Building, she made a trip to the hospital.

Lu Xining had done a thorough check on the girl and found that her physical condition was somewhat better than she had expected.

Perhaps, she too wanted to wake up.

Just not beside Jiang Jishu.

If she could be sent to the ZN laboratory,

they could start by telling her about staying away from the scumbag after waking up, offering her some hope for life.

The laboratory had just received a batch of new equipment and materials…

And her newly researched acupuncture techniques…

Thinking too deeply and with such focus, Lu Xining forgot about the man in front of her as she contemplated the treatment plan for the girl in her mind.

Ji Muye was painfully aware that at this moment, Lu Xining was distracted.

She was distracted for another man!

His dark pupils sparkled faintly, his tall and upright figure in stark contrast to her lean frame, his lips turned downward as he asked her word by word.

“Lu Xining, can that certificate really not hold you back?”

The hand by the side of his suit pants clenched into a fist, veins popping on his arm, each word saturated with repressed, angry emotions.

Certificate? What certificate?

Snapped back to her senses by his words, Lu Xining was still somewhat dazed.

She glanced at Ji Muye oddly, not knowing what scenario this man had concocted in his own mind.

It took her a while to calm down before she understood what he was referring to. Speechlessness spread in her heart, slowly flowing out from her eyes.

With even the slightest bit of brains and a thorough background check, anyone would know that she was neither remarried nor had a current partner.

But Ji Muye’s insensitivity was profound; without waiting for an investigation result, he had swiftly determined her “guilt.”

Since he didn’t trust her, any more explanations would be futile.

She glanced at the displeasure on Ji Muye’s face and felt even more puzzled, failing to understand why he wouldn’t go to work in broad daylight, instead coming to question her.

Lu Xining said indifferently, “All this over a cup of coffee?”

She treated him with the indifference Ji Muye himself had shown her in the past, her tone dismissive, not noticing the flash of perplexity in the man’s eyes.

The words Lu Xining had said.

And the words Ji Muye had uttered two years before…

“It’s just a meal, why the fuss?”

So strikingly similar.

Ji Muye’s aura suddenly halved in intensity, yet he didn’t want to concede.

At that moment, the cell phone vibrated—it was a call from Lu Xining’s assistant.

Her expression shifted to one of grave concern; if it wasn’t important, the assistant would have chosen to convey the information through a clear and precise email.

A call meant there must be some thorny issue.

Ji Muye caught a glimpse of the ‘J’ on the caller ID, and seeing the sudden tightness in Lu Xining’s expression, his handsome face darkened further.

The call Lu Xining made was a long one.

That very night, she had to head for the ZN laboratory; a matter of life and death, with urgent timing, she had Monkey arrange for a helicopter to come over directly.

She didn’t want the children to be overly troubled.

She also had twice the usual number of bodyguards come over.

The housekeepers, servants, and the nannies specifically looking after the three children—she made sure their backgrounds were thoroughly checked.

Hence, she felt at ease leaving them even for this brief period.

To avoid any unforeseen circumstances, she had asked Monkey to come back once; with a trustworthy person by her side, she would feel even less encumbered by worries.

As for Ji Chao and Ji Ze, she knew that there were always guards the Lu Family had placed outside the house.

Due to the emergency, she still went to knock on the guest room door to inform Ji Muye of her departure, despite her desire to avoid speaking to him.

Thus, she didn’t see the gloom in the man’s eyes.

It was only when Ji Chao and Ji Ze got home did they learn that their mother had gone on a sudden business trip.

Such situations had occurred before in the Ji Family, so they didn’t find it strange.

The next day, after sending the two kids to kindergarten, Ji Muye would normally have gone straight to the office, but images of Lu Nuonuo inexplicably kept appearing in his mind.

This little tyke was young and probably didn’t understand what a business trip meant.

But learning that her mom had some work to attend to and would return in a couple of days, she blinked her shiny eyes without tears or tantrums.

It softened one’s heart, compelling him to pay her a visit.

Lu Nuonuo was in the toy house, playing with her toys alone; she had many pink foxes in various skins, all bought by Lu Xining and Ming Yuan.

Hearing the commotion at the door, Little Dumpling thought it was her mother returning and ran out excitedly.

Seeing it was the nasty Uncle Ji Muye instead, the invisible ears atop her head instantly drooped, her expression downcast as she turned to head back to the toy house to continue playing.

Worried about Nuonuo’s safety at home and that she might find playing alone dull, Ji Muye squatted down to ask,

“Nuonuo, do you want to come with Uncle to the office for a bit?”

She looked at him blankly, not understanding what he meant by ‘office.’

…Was it something to eat, something to drink, or a toy?

Half an hour later.

Dressed in a purple princess gown, Lu Nuonuo was carried by Ji Muye into the president’s private elevator.

She wrapped her arms around his neck curiously inspecting her surroundings.

Suddenly, the elevator doors opened.

The woman outside saw the girl in Ji Muye’s arms and her eyes instantly widened.
