Falling For The Contract Bride Chapter 218

Chapter 218 How Did You Get To Know Xie Xiu?

Mu Zhi had seen how tightly guarded Xie Xiu was before. But she was convinced that there was nobody around them when they were taking a walk earlier on. How on earth did all of them suddenly appear at once?

Mu Zhi was… dumbfounded.

But it was not the right time to rack her brains about how they all appeared at once.

She walked towards Xie Xiu cautiously to check if he was fine.

The bodyguard stood in front of Xie Xiu, holding Mu Zhi off from getting near Xie Xiu. NôvelDrama.Org owns this.

Xie Xiu ordered coldly, “It’s ok.”

“I am fine.”

After saying this, he glanced at the couple afar. They were mumbling towards each other. Slowly and carefully, they approached Xie Xiu.

Tongue-tied, they tried to apologize, “Sor… Sorry.”

It was undeniably a first-time, hair-raising experience for the youngsters. Even Mu Zhi who followed Lu Jinye all year round was taken aback by the bodyguards’ array, what more to say, these young people.

Xie Xiu did not answer the young couple.

He only had his attention on Mu Zhi.

“Are you alright?”

Out of courtesy, he did not touch Mu Zhi and check, but only observed her intently and asked.

Mu Zhi shook her head profusely and replied, “I’m fine. What about you? How is your arm?”

She had already noticed that Xie Xiu’s arm was abnormally drooping low.

“There’s nothing to worry. You may leave.”

Xie Xiu did not answer Mu Zhi. He looked at the couple and dismissed them.

Hearing Xie Xiu’s command, the bodyguards made a way for the couple to leave. The couple hurriedly left while thanking Xie Xiu.

“Sir, should we call the doctor?”

“Who gave you the permission to follow me?”

Xie Xiu frowned and hauled over the coals.

Hearing his reproach, the bodyguards bowed their heads low and slowly backed off.

“I think my arm is fractured. If I’m not mistaken, there is a hospital not far from here. Do take me there.”

“Stop following me!”

Xie Xiu commanded his bodyguards, then followed Mu Zhi.

Initially, Mu Zhi only wanted to treat Xie Xiu for a simple meal to end things quickly. However, they did not manage to have a proper meal and she embarrassed herself. To ease herself, she tried to have a talk with Xie Xiu at the park.

Now… the situation had become worse.

Who would have guessed that there would be an accident at the park?

Mu Zhi sighed. She could not refuse Xie Xiu’s request and had to accompany him to the hospital.

She had to lead the way.

Mu Zhi led Xie Xiu to the hospital. Xie Xiu, being a distinguished big shot, was welcomed by Xu Changshu herself. They were at the clinic when Mu Zhi met Xu Changshu. Xu Changshu greeted Mr. Xie politely.

“How do you do, Mr. Xie.”

Xie Xiu merely nodded his head at Xu Changshu.

Xu Changshu saw Mu Zhi, but she deliberately ignored her.

Mu Zhi could only tell herself to ignore Xu Changshu too.

So, she waited quietly aside on a chair.

Xu Changshu had to bring Xie Xiu for a thorough body checkup before she could relocate his bone, so she shifted him to another clinic.

Mu Zhi did not follow. She sat on the sofa at the first clinic they visited and waited.

She silently sighed and realized that she should have given Lu Jinye a phone call so he wouldn’t worry where she’d been. Who knew that she’d create such a mess?

Mu Zhi only found out that she had misplaced her phone when she felt for it.

She could not find it.

Mu Zhi took off her coat and searched through every pocket it had. But she still couldn’t find it!

It must have been misplaced.

She was even more disheartened.

Nevertheless, there was something even worse waiting for her after this.

When she was done searching for her phone, she raised her head and saw a man striding into the clinic.

The person was no other than… Lu Leiming.

Mu Zhi had met Lu Leiming before. But they merely had meals together and did not have any deep conversations during those times.

As Lu Leiming held an important position in the Lu’s family, Mu Zhi was uncertain how she should relate with Lu Leiming when she saw him.

Therefore, she lowered her head and made her way out when she saw Lu Leiming walking in.

Just as they walked past each other, Lu Leiming suddenly spoke to Mu Zhi.

“Miss Mu Zhi, I’d like to know, why did you choose Lu Jinye over my son?”

His question sounded ridiculous.

Lu Leiming sounded exactly like Master Lu. He wasn’t angry but he sounded firm and arrogant.

“I don’t understand what you’re trying to say.”

Mu Zhi replied politely.

Regardless of the situation, Lu Leiming was still Lu Jinye’s elder brother, and he still carried the Lu’s family bloodline.

She was not in the position to interrupt or interfere with their family’s disagreement.

“It is pretty obvious that Lu Junnian likes you, Miss Mu Zhi. Although he is now engaged to Zhu Sha, it is only because she’s bearing his child… He still loves you.”

Mu Zhi did not know that Zhu Sha was pregnant.

When she was hearing Lu Leiming spill the beans, she felt a little uncomfortable.

Moreover, it was a long time since she heard about Lu Junnian.

So, was it because he went all in to taking care of Zhu Sha?

Lu Leiming was about to continue when a hasty pair of footsteps neared. Lu Leiming stopped that instant.

Lu Junnian appeared at the door. He glared at both Lu Leiming and Mu Zhi, who were alone in the clinic.

He looked surprised to see Mu Zhi there.

“Why are you here? And how did you get to know Xie Xiu?”

Apparently, Lu Junnian and Lu Leiming had heard from Xu Changshu, and she had them running to the clinic right away.

This could be Lu Leiming’s chance to approach Xie Xiu and perhaps a collaboration opportunity.

Rumors already had it that Xie Xiu had withdrawn from investing in Lu Jinye’s.

Lu Leiming had arrived first.

Although Lu Junnian was reluctant to show up, he had no choice but to do so.

But… He did not expect to see Mu Zhi here as well.

Mu Zhi looked more slender than before, making her delicate face look more attractive than ever.

However, Lu Junnian was more concerned about Mu Zhi’s safety.

What kind of a man was Xie Xiu?

He was well-known overseas as the Dark Satan!

He was someone who survived near-death and succeeded in building his business empire. Regardless of how normal he acted or looked, there was a threatening ambience surrounding him!
