Falling For The Contract Bride Chapter 215

Chapter 215 The Lu Family No Longer Has Business Value!

Mu Zhi blinked in disbelief. She looked awkwardly at the approaching helicopter.

If it wasn’t for forcing Linda to tell the truth, she would not have asked Xie Xiu for help.

Now everything had come to a full circle. She could not tell which was the beginning or the end anymore!

The helicopter slowly approached Mu Zhi’s helicopter as though pressuring it to land.

As for her helicopter, the pilot had already decided to turn back.

Mu Zhi considered it for a while. She could not meet Xie Xiu presently, so the promise to have lunch had to be met on another date. Right now, she had to rush back to be with Lu Jinye!

As such, Mu Zhi asked the pilot to speed up and head towards Lu Jinye’s villa.

Originally, Xie Xiu’s instruction was just to fetch Miss Mu Zhi and bring her to him. But seeing that her helicopter was uncooperative, the pilot was unsure what to do.

The secretary on board quickly gave Xie Xiu a call.

“Mr. Xie, Miss Mu Zhi is uncooperative.”

“In that case, follow her but do not hurt her.”

In the call, Xie Xiu’s tone did not seem angry so the secretary was a little confused. She had been with Mr. Xie Xiu for many years and this was the first time… Someone had played a prank on Mr. Xie Xiu and stood him up.

But she had to obey his instructions.

The moment the helicopter had landed on Lu Jinye’s backyard, Mu Zhi jumped off and ran to search for Lu Jinye.

Behind her, Xie Xiu’s secretary was running after her.

Mu Zhi promptly found the way to the compound’s entrance and saw that Lu Jinye was there by himself.

She was running very quickly and as she ran, her loosely tied hair came free. Since she was very worried about Lu Jinye, it did not occur to her to tie them up.

She ran breathlessly to Lu Jinye’s side. The scene before her caught her by surprise.

There was none of the chaos and violence that she had imagined.

Furthermore, she thought that the deceased family would bring a bunch of thugs to cause trouble, but that wasn’t the case either.

Seeing the situation before her, Mu Zhi couldn’t resist blinking her eyes in bewilderment.

Lu Jinye had stood alone. There was no secretary with him, and he was watching a bread truck leaving calmly.

The surroundings were no different from how it had usually seemed. Nothing had been altered.

“Why have you returned?”

Lu Jinye turned around suddenly and saw a confused Mu Zhi.

Just a moment ago, Mu Zhi was thinking about facing dangers with Lu Jinye and being united with him as a husband and wife. Instead, she found herself looking at a calm Lu Jinye and a surrounding that bore no trace of turmoil.

“I… I think I have forgotten something, so I came back for it.”

Mu Zhi couldn’t understand what was wrong with her. She could not bring herself to express that she was worried about him, so she said that instead.

Lu Jinye couldn’t help furrowing his brows as he went to Mu Zhi’s side, “You were worried about me?”

Linda had followed behind Mu Zhi. She seemed crestfallen so Lu Jinye guessed that Mu Zhi must have rushed over after knowing that he was dealing with some issues. This meant that Mu Zhi was definitely worried about him.

“Seems like it was a false alarm.”

Mu Zhi looked at their surroundings and said to Lu Jinye.

“It was not a scare. You have nearly lost me.”

Lu Jinye said with a very serious expression.

The relaxed air clung onto Mu Zhi instantly disappeared into tension once again. She frowned and looked at Lu Jinye.

“What do you mean? Are you hurt?”

Seeing her reaction, Lu Jinye caressed and smoothened her hair. He was smiling as he said, “Just wanted to see how you look when you are nervous. I was just joking.”Owned by NôvelDrama.Org.

With that, he held Mu Zhi’s hand, “Although our plan has been delayed, we can continue towards our destination.”

As he spoke, he took Mu Zhi’s hand and led her towards the house.

Actually, Mu Zhi and Lu Jinye were not alone there. Apart from Linda, there was also the pilot and Xie Xiu’s secretary.

Mu Zhi was beautiful. Her beauty revealed itself the more one had their eyes on her.

On the other hand, Lu Jinye was very handsome. Passers-by could not resist stealing extra glances at him on the streets!

Together, they were a good match.

Xie Xiu was also very handsome in a cold and mysterious way.

Xie Xiu’s secretary thought about these three people and imagined all the dramas that they could be involved in. She wondered what she should do next?

Obviously, she could not go forward and block Mu Zhi, telling her that Xie Xiu was looking for her.

After some consideration, she took out her phone and took a photo behind Mu Zhi and Lu Jinye as they were holding hands and sent it to Xie Xiu. She asked, “Sir, what should I do? Should we continue to bring Miss Mu Zhi back?”

Xie Xiu looked at the photograph sent to him. His face did not betray any emotions save for a slight frown. “You can return.”

“Yes, sir.”

The secretary obeyed his instruction and returned.

Mu Zhi and Lu Jinye packed up and put their things into the car boot.

She climbed into the front passenger seat, waiting for Lu Jinye to get into the car after he finished packing.

However, when Lu Jinye had just gotten into the car, his phone rang.

He frowned and said, “Linda, don’t talk about work today.”

His tone was cold.

On the other side, Linda’s voice was apologetic, “Mr… Mr. Lu, Xie Xiu has divested.”

Mu Zhi had heard those words clearly.

She couldn’t help but tremble anxiously.

She knew what the words signified.

At the moment… Lu Jinye’s company was in a precarious condition. It had been facing a lot of crisis since Lu Leiming had left and concentrated his effort to bring down the Lu family’s businesses.

Lu Leiming’s actions were suicidal and with no regard to the consequences.

Meanwhile, Lu Jinye had decided not to marry Xiao Qingqing, and this had severely damaged his reputation.

Even though… Lu Jinye had done sufficient public relations and helped to save the Lu family’s businesses from collapse, they were still unstable.

Although Xie Xiu company’s capital injection was just like the icing on the cake for Lu Jinye, divestment carried drastic consequences!

It was as if he had announced to the whole of the capital market that the Lu family no longer had any business value!
