Chapter 54 I Want Uncle Jinye To Divorce Mu Zhi

Xiao Qingqing kept her eyes shut as she felt the man’s breath.

She took no initiative, but at the same time, she did not refuse what was coming at her.

However, when the man gradually ran his hand into her clothes, she suddenly came to her senses and

shoved him.

Was she out of her mind?!

This was Shen Mobo, not Lu Jinye.

How thirsty must she have been to accept this man?!

Shen Mobo was baffled the moment he was shoved away. He stared at Xiao Qingqing fixedly, eyes filled

with lingering desires. However, seeing that Xiao Qingqing had returned to her usual poise, he quickly

came to his senses too.

Before he could say anything, Xiao Qingqing had seized her bag and stormed out the door.

Shen Mobo thought about chasing after her, but she stopped him verbally, without turning back.

“Don’t follow me, I need space.”

Following which, she dashed the door, leaving without changing back to her heels. She hurriedly hopped

into her car and took off as though she was fleeing.

…

In the hospital, after dinner, Mu Zhi made some preparations and set off for the doctor’s round.

Lu Jinye thought about tagging along with her, but Mu Zhi figured he must have plenty of documents to

go through, so she told him to stay in her office.

After Mu Zhi had left, Lu Jinye lost all interest in reading documents. He rose to his feet and started

examining Mu Zhi’s office.

Her office was clean and simple. If she hadn’t brought him here, he would not expect that the office

belonged to a woman.

It indicated that the woman was rational. She possessed the logical reasoning of men.

Lu Jinye approached the bookshelf at the edge of the room. Many books were sitting on the shelf. Just

as he was planning to pick one of which, his phone went off. Upon taking a glance, he noticed that it was

a call from Lu’s Manor’s butler.

He promptly answered it. From the other end of the phone came the butler’s anxious voice, “Y-Young…

Master Lu, the master is… Please make your way here quickly! I’m afraid he wouldn’t last long.”

“We’re on our way to the First Hospital.”

“Sure.”

Lu Jinye did not listen to every word of the butler before hurriedly agreeing. After hanging up the call and

starting to set off, his phone rang again.

This time, it was Lu Yunxi.

“Brother, the First Hospital has no empty bed right now, there has been a serial crash on the highway

and the First Hospital could not cope at all. We’re currently on our way to Junxin, where do you think we

should send pops to?”

“It’s urgent! Pops is currently showing shock symptoms, the family doctor said…”

“Junxin Hospital!”

Lu Jinye did not wait for Lu Yunxi to finish explaining. He immediately shouted at Lu Yunxi, “Junxin

Hospital, right away!”

Meanwhile, Lu Yunxi did not waste another second. He hung up the phone and ordered the chauffeur to

switch directions.

Mu Zhi had just finished her doctor’s round when she caught the sight of Lu Jinye hanging up the call. As

she approached the emotionless Lu Jinye, she could sense the anxiousness barely hidden under his

indifference.

“What’s the matter?”

“Master Lu had passed out, he’s on his way here.”

Upon hearing this, Mu Zhi could feel her hands shuddering involuntarily.

She responded, “You must describe his condition to me in detail, I’m the only doctor on shift tonight… I

need to call my colleague.”

However, it had barely been a fraction of a second after she finished her words when the Lu Family car

had arrived at the entrance of Junxin Hospital.

Mu Zhi could only follow Lu Jinye to the entrance, order to send Master Lu to the emergency clinic and

inform the nurse on shift to call the other doctors.

However, judging by Master Lu’s age, mere minutes of delay may spell the end of his life.

Right after giving the orders, Mu Zhi heard a car came to a halt outside. A man stepped off the car.

Without shutting the door, he strode towards the scene and exclaimed, “Emergency Room Number 3, Dr.

Mu, assist me, Matron Li, prepare the equipment, everyone come with me!”

The man was calm and collected. His eyes were brimming with perseverance and confidence. It was Lu

Junnian.

Mu Zhi was astonished. However, she lugged herself back to reality and followed closely behind Lu

Junnian into Emergency Room Number 3!

Master Lu was a stubborn old man. He started to show symptoms of headaches recently but ignored the

signs altogether. Through this check-up, it was found out that there was a blood clot in his brain, leading

to blockage.

Fortunately… He was sent to the hospital in time. Moreover, it was a minor blockage.

However, due to her relationship with Master Lu and Lu Junnian, Mu Zhi was under immense stress.

In the past, Mu Zhi had been stressing herself in the operating theatre, though she made it during studies

owing to Lu Junnian’s guidance.

Thus, Lu Junnian’s presence made her feel even more helpless.

Lu Junnian did not bat an eye at Mu Zhi throughout the procedure. He was fixated on saving Master Lu.

Only after a successful procedure when he turned to Mu Zhi, gesturing for her to wipe his sweat.

Mu Zhi hesitated briefly and obliged.

She leaned towards Lu Junnian. He was a tall man. Lu Junnian seemed to be messing with her, refusing

to lower his head. So, Mu Zhi had to stand on tiptoe to reach Lu Junnian.

Upon tiptoeing, she leaned even closer towards him. She could faintly feel his warm breath pouring down

on her face.

Mu Zhi had the urge to dodge his breath, her face rather pink.

But Lu Junnian found it amusing. He smirked after getting his sweat wiped and ordered the nurse to

bring master into the ICU before leaving the theater.

Stepping out of the theater, Mu Zhi first noticed Lu Jinye leaning against the wall, waiting for them.

Lu Jinye saw Mu Zhi’s exhausted face.

“What is it? Tired?”

Mu Zhi did not feel tired at all. She was merely drained from dealing with Lu Junnian.

She shook her head in response.

Lu Jinye then glanced at Master Lu’s direction, “If Master Lu is admitted to this hospital, there’s

something else we need to talk about.”

Mu Zhi was startled.

“What?”

“You can’t tell Master Lu about our divorce.”

Lu Jinye whispered into Mu Zhi’s ear after scanning the area to ascertain that nobody was around.

Lu Jinye’s intentions instantly dawned on Mu Zhi. She nodded in agreement.

Following this, she took off her white coat and headed to the bathroom to freshen herself.

Gazing out the window, she noticed it was dawn… That was such an eventful night.

After splashing water on her face, Mu Zhi calmed herself and an idea struck her. Despite getting a

divorce with Lu Jinye, it felt like she would not be able to escape the Lu Family for the rest of her life.

When Mu Zhi had settled the related documents, Master Lu regained his consciousness.

Lu Jinye had left for the company due to business matters. While Mu Zhi, Lu Yunxi, and Lu Junnian were

standing by Master Lu’s bed.

Master Lu was touched by the fact that Lu Junnian saved his life. He asked what Lu Junnian wanted and

he would fulfill every request coming from him.

Lu Junnian straightened his back and he came before Master Lu with a frown. He fixed his eyes at

Master Lu, reconfirming, “Grandpa, can I ask for anything?”

“As long as it is within my reach, yes.”

Master Lu’s tone was feeble, yet carried authority.

Lu Junnian glanced at Mu Zhi silently.

Then, he continued asking, “What if, the request sounds absurd?”

“So what? The Lu Family can fulfill any absurd request.”

“Can you make decisions on behalf of my uncles, grandpa?”

“Yes!”

Master Lu did not hesitate for a moment before answering.

“I want Uncle Jinye to divorce Mu Zhi!”

Lu Junnian made his request almost at the instance of receiving Master Lu’s assurance!
