Falling For The Contract Bride Chapter 225

Chapter 225 Wishing Us a Lifetime of Happily Ever

Although Lu Jinye claimed he would seek Mu Zhi’s opinion in the course of any decision making, his preemptory action had otherwise proven him overbearing.

Mu Zhi didn’t insist on the matter. After all, marrying Lu Jinye had always been her dream.

And very naturally, Mu Zhi agreed.

After that, they boarded the car, and Lu Jinye drove them across the city.

In the meantime, at Lu Leiming’s residence.

Sitting in the teahouse, Lu Leiming was enjoying his tea when Xu Changshu suddenly appeared with a courier consignment and handed it over to Lu Leiming.

“Not sure who sent this, there is no sender information.”

Xu Changshu disassembled the consignment hesitantly. Her scalp tightened upon opening up to a content of a series of numbers. She quickly passed it to Lu Leiming.

Lu Leiming stopped sampling his tea and reached out for the consignment. He examined the content. The information was printed in a small font thus made the content tedious to read.

Every word on these data looked ordinary. More than anything, this looked like a numbers game.

Xu Changshu took a glance at the content, “120906098500000000? 1308055323600000000? What are these numbers? Are they ID numbers?”

Xu Changshu zipped her brows while Lu Leiming felt a surge in anxiety.

Wrinkling his forehead, he browsed through the details until the last page and read ‘Year 2012, ‘6th September, job number 98, withdrawal total 500 million.’

It meant the series of numbers were a warning!

Lu Leiming trembled uncontrollably with hands still holding onto the content. He sprung up from his seat trying to reach out for the teacup but the latter slipped and fell on the ground.

At this time, even Xu Changshu who was inexplicable on the side panicked a little.

Xu Changshu took a deep breath and asked frantically, “What’s wrong? What’s happening?”

“This may be Lu Jinye’s work, very likely him who sent this.”

As soon as he stopped speaking, the phone downstairs rang. Xu Changshu did not wait for Lu Leiming. She stomped down and headed at the deafening phone call. A woman’s voice was heard saying, “Hello, this is Linda.”

Although Xu Changshu had never dealt with Lu Jinye in the business sense, she knew who Linda was.

Linda worked for Lu Jinye. She was the personal secretary!

“What do you want?”

Xu Changshu didn’t sound friendly. Property belongs to Nôvel(D)r/ama.Org.

Her hostility did not bother Linda. She said, “The chairman has specifically asked me to give Mr. Lu a call at this time in case he might want to talk with me.”

“Why is that?!”

“He does not want to talk to you! You should know our companies are not in talking term. Get lost!”

Xu Changshu roared at the phone.

At this moment, Lu Leiming was heard saying, “Give me the phone!”

Lu Leiming attempted to suppress his anxiety while heading toward the phone. When he took over the call from Xu Changshu, he had evidently calmed down a lot!

Lu Leiming addressed himself, “I am Lu Leiming.” On the other end of the phone, Linda had begun to speak calmly, “Hello, sir, our chairman has a message for you. You must have read the information by now and understood the data and the severity of the matter.”

“Judging at the current situation between the Lu Family and yours, I’m sure an infinite jail time is awaiting you.”

“Well, I’m done with everything I should say. Goodbye.”

Before Lu Leiming could respond, Linda had already hung up.

Standing beside was Xu Changshu. She heard every bit of the conversation.

It was impossible for Lu Leiming’s company to restore the financial crisis overnight in their current state. Hence he could only resort to steal funds from the main company!

In fact, Linda reserved to articulate the other half of truth in her warning to Lu Leiming.

If it wasn’t for the complicated domestic affairs between both the families, a lawsuit would have been filed against him and the amount of trouble entailed should be enough to break him.

Thus, the matter had now deemed a domestic affair due to the nature between the families with Lu Leiming and Master Lu.

As a matter of fact, there was a possibility for a domestic affair to be dealt internally or even forgiven!

After Lu Leiming hung up the phone, he stood there for a long time with fists balled and tensed!

How did he get framed by Lu Jinye when he had managed the incident seamlessly?!

Lu Jinye, you witty bastard!

But, why did Lu Jinye warn him and want to spare him? They were not blood related anyway.

Lu Leiming didn’t understand. He looked at the clock and realized time was running out! He had no choice but follow what Lu Jinye had asked of him.

…

Mu Zhi sat in Lu Jinye’s car and they had been revolving around the outskirts of city for a while now. City A was undeniably gorgeous and there were indeed many places to feast the eyes yet it did not call for so many laps in a row!

Mu Zhi glanced at Lu Jinye. When Lu Jinye was about to make the third lap, Mu Zhi couldn’t help but say, “Lu Jinye, what are you doing?”

Lu Jinye turned around and smiled at her, “I am thinking about what kind of wedding I should give you.”

Mu Zhi and Lu Jinye had kept their previous wedding a secret. The purpose was originally for Lu Jinye to seize power from Master Lu, and Mu Zhi was just an instrument for him to gain power.

But it was different this time.

This time, they were headed for a real marriage.

Mu Zhi thought carefully and said, “All I hope is for us to enjoy the wedding banquet. That’s all. I don’t want a nuptial.”

It seemed like the whole world didn’t approve of this wedding.

She messed up her relationship with Master Lu because of her own issues. Moreover, the Lu Family’s wealth was sweltering internally as well as from external threats.

Mu Zhi was worried for Lu Jinye amid the critical situation he was in.

“Let’s not linger, Lu Jinye. Let’s go and get some souvenirs with me, I have decided to seek forgiveness from Master Lu.”

“You did nothing wrong before, you shouldn’t be blamed.”

Lu Jinye turned around and stared at Mu Zhi.

Mu Zhi smiled and explained softly, “Theoretically I didn’t wrong him but I was wrong in courtesy, I should have spared Master Lu some dignity. I wish our marriage to be blessed by Master Lu. It doesn’t matter if I was right or wrong, let’s just apologize to him.”

Ripples of emotions were whipping violently in Lu Jinye’s deep-set eyes, “Why?”

He looked at Mu Zhi.

There were sparkles in Mu Zhi’s eyes and she uttered, “It’s because he’s your father.”

Mu Zhi’s response was comforting to Lu Jinye.

The two of them left the place and headed straight to Lu’s Manor.
