Chapter 145 It Was Papa Jinye Who Brought Me Here

Lu Jinye slightly raised an eyebrow to pair with his unemotional stare. The apathetic temperament he

radiated felt like cold frost.

The clamoring surrounding instantly reduced to silence, while Liang Yunzhan composedly lifted his

phone, and accepted the call, greeting gently, “Hello?”

Mu Zhi’s apologetic voice came from the phone, “Mr. Liang, so sorry for calling this early, I hope I didn’t

interrupt your sleep. I’m just wondering if Mu Xiaomu has been behaving. I’d like to let you know that I

have settled down here, I can return to pick her up now.”

On top of the word Liang Yunzhan’s ‘hello’, the flurry of words that followed after were heard by Lu

Jinye. The moment he heard Mu Zhi’s voice, he spontaneously reached out a finger to put the phone

on speaker.

Liang Yunzhan was not bothered. He listened to what Mu Zhi had to say insouciantly, and then turned

his gaze to Lu Jinye, as though waiting for a response.

Meanwhile, Lu Jinye threw his arrogant gaze into the far distance, pretending like he did not hear a

word Mu Zhi said.

“Mu Xiaomu is doing great over here. She’s willing to learn with Jieyi.”

Liang Yunzhan replied casually.

“Then let me have a look at the flight tickets, I’ll try my best to go back today for Xiaomu.”

Mu Zhi said to Liang Yunzhan, relieved that Mu Xiaomu had not been causing trouble.

In the end, an impetuous voice sounded out of the blue, “Hey Zhi, where are you now? Why do you

have to check the flight tickets?”

The voice belonged to Lu Yunxi.

Lu Jinye and the gang were just heading out of the clubhouse when the call came in. They were

standing at the entrance of the clubhouse, answering the call, while Lu Yunxi had just woken up from

his sleep, readying to party at another spot after breakfast.

He saw Lu Jinye from afar, hence naturally he could hear Mu Zhi’s voice too.

Hurriedly running up to Liang Yunzhan, he bowed his head slightly before seizing the phone off Liang

Yunzhan’s hand.

Lu Yunxi then put on an exceptionally jovial expression, “Zhi, you don’t have to go out of the way to fly

back here. Coincidentally, I’ll be going to Washington today, let me bring the little girl over. You don’t

have to thank me, considering you’re my sister-in-law, the decision is made. I’ll call you when I get

there.”

Mu Zhi was put in a trance…

Lu Yunxi barged into the call out of nowhere astonishingly, and then arranged for Mu Zhi, making it…

Difficult to process and accept!

Mu Zhi tried to stop Lu Yunxi, but he told her that she didn’t have to thank him and hung up the call

right away.

Alas, Mu Zhi felt like her brain cells had been randomized.

Why is Lu Yunxi there? Where is Liang Yunzhan?!

Luckily… It is Lu Yunxi and not Lu Jinye. Otherwise, the situation would have been more troublesome.

Mu Zhi comforted herself, feeling a little glad.

On the other end of the phone, after hanging up the call, Lu Yunxi peered at Lu Jinye playfully, then

diverted his gaze towards Liang Yunzhan, who was standing at the side, “Where’s the girl? I’ll pick her

up in the afternoon.”

Liang Yunzhan had heard the whole exchange between Lu Yunxi and Mu Zhi. Thus, he could not help

but oblige.

Upon deciding the time and venue to pick up Mu Xiaomu in the afternoon, Lu Yunxi left…

…

At three in the afternoon.

Lu Yunxi arrived at Liang Yunzhan’s mount chateau in a timely fashion. He saw Mu Xiaomu and

ushered her into the car.

While Mu Xiaomu was staring at Lu Yunxi in hesitation, another car came up behind her. Stepping off

the car was Lu Jinye’s secretary, Linda.

She approached Mu Xiaomu with a gentle and sprightly expression, and said to her, “Mr. Lu Jinye

needs to go on a business trip. Would you like him to bring you to your mommy?”

When she heard Lu Jinye’s name, Mu Xiaomu’s eyes were instantly dazzling with excitement!

She walked up to her with her chunky little legs, saying, “Sure, where is mister?”

Linda pointed at the MPV behind her, while Mu Xiaomu scurried towards the car. Mu Xiaomu

addressed Lu Jinye as ‘mister’ before the crowd, but as soon as she saw Lu Jinye’s face, she called

out, “Papa.”

Her word stunned Lu Yunxi, who was left in desolation behind her.

Lu Jinye did not acknowledge Lu Yunxi’s presence. All he did was stretch out his long, slender arm and

grabbed Mu Xiaomu, putting her in his embrace, closed the door, and took off when Linda got into the

car.

The series of actions occurred too quickly. When Lu Yunxi forced himself to blink a couple of times,

bringing him back to his senses, the car had whipped up a cloud of dust. Lu Yunxi hurriedly chased

after it, shouting, “Lu Jinye, what are you doing?!”

In the end, all he could see was the car’s taillights zooming away…

“Alright, that’s enough, it seems like your reverse psychology worked.” Liang Yunzhan wore his usual

tender smile as he said to Lu Yunxi.

Lu Yunxi glanced at Liang Yunzhan, frowning childishly as he asked, “Is it that obvious? How did you

tell?”

Liang Yunzhan just smiled in response.

After being informed by Lu Yunxi of the flight number, Mu Zhi rushed to the airport to wait for his arrival.

However, Lu Yunxi was nowhere to be found. When she finally saw Mu Xiaomu, she realized that Mu

Xiaomu came alone!!

Mu Zhi was dumbfounded. She lowered her head to look down at Xiaomu, “Xiaomu, did you come

alone?”

Lu Yunxi, you unreliable bastard.

“It was papa who brought me here.”

Mu Xiaomu’s face was overwhelmed with contentment while explaining solemnly.

Hearing what she had to say, Mu Zhi subconsciously scanned the area, but she could not find any

traces of Lu Jinye.

“Where’s Lu Jinye then?”

“Mama, would you like to see papa?”

Mu Xiaomu avoided her question and answered with another question.

Mu Zhi was starting to be suspicious.

She looked at Mu Xiaomu, then scanned the area once again to ascertain that Lu Jinye was not around

before carrying Mu Xiaomu off the floor, “Don’t ever call that man papa again, and you’re not allowed to

ask mommy such question in the future. Mommy doesn’t want to talk about it.”

With Mu Xiaomu in her arms, she made her way to the airport exit.

But Mu Xiaomu kept gazing at the back, saying, “Mama, why don’t you wait for papa? Papa is right

behind us.”

Mu Zhi did not turn back. She could vividly remember what happened between him. Despite being

overseas, Mu Zhi had seen numerous scandalous news related to Lu Jinye recently. How could Lu

Jinye bring Mu Xiaomu right now?

Perhaps Mu Xiaomu had confused herself between Lu Yunxi and Lu Jinye.

Or it might be Lu Yunxi who sent Mu Xiaomu here, then mischievously told Mu Xiaomu to lie that it was

Lu Jinye who did!

In any case, the unlikeliest possibility was Lu Jinye.

Meanwhile, Lu Jinye waited until Mu Zhi and Mu Xiaomu had left the airport before sweeping around

and left listlessly!

He must be out of his mind!

What am I doing here?!

Why would I bring Mu Xiaomu here?!
