Chapter 197 His Own Appearance Could Stir the Crowds

Mu Zhi was stunned for a moment. Suddenly… She realized what she should do!

Previously, she was not aware of these because she had never thought that Lu Jinye would love her.

Even if Lu Jinye confessed and showed his love, she had never made the connection that he had fallen

for her.

Because… She had always thought that Lu Jinye treated her well due to their agreement which was to

play the part of a happily married couple.

Later, when they were divorced, their true nature was finally revealed.

She had fallen a little while Lu Jinye had his true love Xiao Qingqing by his side.

Now… They were together again as parents to Mu Xiaomu, so they got along like a married couple.

However, it was not love.

Mu Zhi cared about love very much, but she also cared a lot about responsibility.

That was why she did not dare to approach Lu Jinye and also warned herself not to get too close to

him.

But now, having heard all the choices he had made, Mu Zhi’s first thought was that she was moved by

his actions. She decided that she must go to Lu Jinye!

Mu Zhi turned around quickly and headed to the lift. She remembered the call Lu Jinye had gotten, Lu’s

Manor was mentioned. She knew that Lu Jinye had gone to Lu’s Manor.

This meant that the matter Lu Jinye was called to could be concerning her.

Mu Zhi rushed out of the building. Without hesitation, she raised a hand to hail a cab and gave it the

directions to Lu’s Manor.

Meanwhile at the Lu’s Manor.

Master Lu was well enough to get up from his bed. He was dressed in a loose white tunic and was

seated in an armchair. His face was stern and imposing.

“Why are you still with that woman?” He said. “You even brought her daughter to the amusement park!”

“Xiaomu is also my daughter.”

Lu Jinye explained. His deep-set eyes were looking at Master Lu.

His tone was neutral.

“Bah! Even if she has Lu’s blood in her, without my permission, no one is recognized! Since Mu Zhi had

disobeyed me at the most crucial moment and even sided with that bastard Lu Leiming, she is deemed

his accomplice. I will never let her in!”

Master Lu shouted angrily and banged his cane against the floor.

Lu Jinye stood firm. He did not back down even a little.

“I will never back down from the woman I have chosen,” His expression was uncompromising.

“Are you disobeying me too?”

Master Lu was furious. He stood up in anger.

As he was too agitated, he kept coughing as he said, “Don’t you forget. Although my companies are not

as valuable as yours but without me, you would have nothing today!”

“I have no intention of disobeying you.”

Lu Jinye’s eyes remained cold as he explained to Master Lu.

“What is this then?”

“I hope that you can accept Mu Zhi and Mu Xiaomu. By doing so you will have a big and harmonious

family!”

“And if I refuse?”

Master Lu frowned and asked in return.

“In that case I will only return when you have agreed.”

There was an unmistakable threat in Lu Jinye’s tone!

In that instance, Master Lu was furious and held his hand over his chest as though in pain.

The butler immediately stepped forward to support Master Lu. Lu Yunxi had also rushed into the room

in a panic. He looked at Lu Jinye helplessly and sighed. He did not think that he could persuade Lu

Jinye.

However, seeing Master Lu’s condition, he said, “Brother, can you stop agitating father so much?

This… You do know that our father is… Argh!”

Lu Jinye lowered his gaze but he had no intention of backing down. When the family doctor had

arrived, he felt that there was no point in staying back, so he turned around and left.

Mu Zhi asked the driver to drive speedily. She hoped that she could arrive on time.

Previously she had disobeyed Master Lu, so Master Lu was unhappy. If he made things difficult for Lu

Jinye due to that, she was willing to sacrifice her principles and apologize. The remaining matters can

be dealt with later.

However, when she had gotten off the cab and had paid the driver, she saw that Lu Jinye had left the

manor’s compound and had gotten into the car. He saw Mu Zhi when he was about to close the door.

“Come here. Get in the car.”

Lu Jinye frowned. He looked at Mu Zhi hesitantly and called her to the car.

Mu Zhi had no option but to hurry to Lu Jinye. She pulled open the door and got in.

She observed Lu Jinye carefully.

Lu Jinye had always guarded his expressions. So, it is impossible to ascertain the result of his

discussion with Master Lu.

She looked at him starting the car proficiently and drove past the gate.

“How was your discussion with Master Lu? Was Master Lu still angry with me?”

Mu Zhi hesitated. She looked up and observed him carefully.

But Lu Jinye was focused on the road before him, “No.”

“How was your discussion with him?”

“It was just some work matters.”

Lu Jinye answered.

Mu Zhi believed that there is a wide gap between their intelligence so even if Lu Jinye lied to her, she

would not be able to tell. Furthermore, even if she probed Lu Jinye, she would not be able to discover

anything.

So she could only give up.

She put on the seat belt obediently and went with him.

However… Lu Jinye did not send her back to the company. Instead, he brought her to a cinema. After

stopping the car, he bought two tickets, two cups of milk tea, and a bucket of popcorn. Then he called

Mu Zhi to come up to meet him.

When Mu Zhi had entered the cinema and saw that Lu Jinye was carrying all these things. Mu Zhi

found it even harder to believe what was going on.

She blinked and said, “Why are we here?

“Isn’t it obvious, to watch a movie.”

Lu Jinye owned a family cinema. Due to his past investments in the movie industry, his company kept

receiving invitations to the latest big-screen premieres but he never went.

But today… He wanted to watch a movie?

“What movie are we watching?”

Mu Zhi went to Lu Jinye’s side and looked at him.

She noticed that the two tickets he was holding were tickets to the re-showing of Titanic.

Mu Zhi felt that she did not know much about Lu Jinye.

Such as now… She had no idea what Lu Jinye wanted to do?

“Lu Jinye, are you troubled?”

Lu Jinye handed the popcorn to her and replied, “Yes.”

Then he turned around and headed towards the check booth.

Mu Zhi was startled for a moment and rushed to catch up with him.

But… It was too late…

In the past, Lu Jinye would never come to such a place.

It was because his appearance was enough to stir up the crowds.

Furthermore, the cinema he had chosen had a movie star coming over to promote his movie so there

were a lot of supporters there.

The movie star’s arrival was delayed. But a few people who were not aware of it saw Lu Jinye from afar

and exclaimed that he was handsome. They all rushed to him for his signature.

So handsome! He must be a movie star!
