Chapter 61 Could Lu Jinye Have an Illegitimate Child
“I was just kidding around when I said Dr. Lu has a thing for Dr. Mu, it was a wild guess, I didn’t think it’d
be true.”
The nurse said as she placed the records before Mu Zhi, eyes sparkling with curiosity.
Mu Zhi could not help but pout her lips, “What nonsense are you talking about? Why don’t you write a
with that imagination of yours?”
Mu Zhi intentionally took on a stern face to intimidate the nurse.
Alas, not only did the nurse not relent, but she also pressed on delightfully, “How am I talking nonsense?
It’s already on the news headlines.”
“It says that you used to be Mr. Lu, Lu Jinye’s wife, Dr. Mu, but at the same time, you’re related to Dr. Lu,
Lu Junnian, and are currently going out, evident by the photos!”
Afraid that Mu Zhi would not believe her, the nurse handed the photo to Mu Zhi.
Mu Zhi’s brows were involuntarily scrunched up as she inspected the photo.
Evident by what photo? The photo merely depicted the aftermath of her car crash. While she was not
injured in the forehead, she had lost consciousness and Lu Junnian carried her off the car. How did the
reporters have the audacity to accuse them of intimate interaction on the streets?!
Mu Zhi was fuming. Her gaze bounced between the nurse and the photo. She decided, in the end, to
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtexplain herself to the nurse. Clarifying her innocence to one person at a time!
“Look at what’s in the background, Lu Junnian rescued me out of the car after I got in a crash. How were
we embracing each other?”
“Under a conscious state, a person wouldn’t be moving like that by the involuntary response of the
muscles, right?”
Mu Zhi explained as she handed the photo back to the nurse.
Fortunately, the nurse seemed to be convinced. She nodded at Mu Zhi, thinking that Mu Zhi had a point.
“The reporters are just making baseless claims! How could they do this? Giving me false hopes, thinking
that I’m a witness to a famous scandal!”
Mu Zhi looked at the nurse in amusement, “Do you think I’m the person the news depicted?”
The nurse promptly shook her head, “Not at all, you’re such a kind soul, Dr. Mu, and you’ve always kept
a low profile, which means your husband must be someone of the low profile too!”
The nurse took the liberty to presume what Mu Zhi’s husband was like. Mu Zhi pondered for a moment,
Is Lu Jinye considered as low profile?
After all the effort of hiding her identity, perhaps he was considered as one!
“Fine, please excuse me, I need to go through my records.”
Mu Zhi no longer wanted to explain further. She drew the nurse away.
The moment the nurse had left, she started researching the news vigorously. She must admit that the
reporter was quite talented, articulating the story in a well-constructed manner, as though it was true.
She analytically concluded that Mu Zhi was indeed Mrs. Lu through joining the dots of a few clues. She
also rationally explained how she hooked up with Lu Junnian.
Besides, the impact of the news was huge. It had been widespread at this point and would have been
too late if she had not started acting to stop the spread!
While Mu Zhi was inspecting the angle of the photos in detail, her phone suddenly rang.
It was Jian Xiaoning’s call, and she sounded anxious!
“Have you seen the news! Check it out now!”
“I have,”
Mu Zhi responded casually.
As if she was not involved in the news while Jian Xiaoning was!
Jian Xiaoning was seemingly frustrated by Mu Zhi’s listlessness. She reminded, “Do you know what I am
referring to? Hurry up and cover it.”
“It’s fine, don’t worry about it. What can a mere doctor like me do anything about covering the news?
Someone will take care of it. That’s all. I need to go, to analyze the angle of Lu Junnian and my photo.”
How was she still calm enough to analyze the angle of the photo!
Jian Xiaoning was exasperated, but she said nothing of what she intended to say and hung up the phone
right away.
While Mu Zhi forwarded the news to Lu Jinye after the call.
Judging by the seriousness of the matter, she certainly needed Lu Jinye to handle the situation!
After this, Mu Zhi was more reassured as she returned to the photos.
…
On the other hand, when Lu Jinye heard the notification from his phone, he did not bother checking it as
he was playing chess with Liang Yunzhan in this instance. Upon playing his move, Liang Yunzhan said,
“Jieyi just started kindergarten lately and he seems to have taken a liking on one of the girls.”
Lu Jinye knew Liang Jieyi had inherited his elder brother, Liang Yunzhan’s intelligence. An ordinary girl
would not catch his eyes.
“And who is this alluring young lady?”
Lu Jinye did not lift his head to meet Liang Yunzhan’s eyes. He was playing his move as he spoke.
“The little girl who was with Mu Zhi the other day.”
“Around three to four years of age.” Added Liang Yunzhan.
Lu Jinye put all his focus on the chessboard. He had no interest in a conversation about children, so he
blabbered.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm“Mu Xiaomu.”
Liang Yunzhan was startled briefly. He raised his head to look at Lu Jinye, while Lu Jinye kept his poise.
Liang Yunzhan came intending to find out if Lu Jinye had an illegitimate child whom he was not aware of.
And the child he had in mind was none other than Mu Xiaomu.
But he was starting to doubt his hypothesis at this point.
Since Lu Jinye knew who Mu Xiaomu was, it meant that Lu Jinye was aware of her existence. He could
be certain of that. However, there might be secrets that must not be told.
Thus, Liang Yunzhan stopped pursuing further.
At this moment, Xiao Qingqing stepped into the room and ordered the tea master to leave. She took her
seat at the edge of the room and started brewing tea for Lu Jinye and Liang Yunzhan.
Both of them were lasered in on the chess game. They did not notice Xiao Qingqing until she was
topping up their teacups.
“Thanks for the tea,” Liang Yunzhan stared at Xiao Qingqing as he showed his gratitude.
While Xiao Qingqing responded with a smile and greeted him.
Following which, Liang Yunzhan kept mum, despite all the words he wanted to get out.
He was not a nosy man. And he knew to respect the privacy of others.
Since Xiao Qingqing was around, he figured that he should not stay any longer. He left after two more
games of chess with Lu Jinye.
As soon as Liang Yunzhan left, Xiao Qingqing approached Lu Jinye with a smile and said to him, “I have
dinner tonight, I need to talk to some investors, do you think you can drop me off?”
Afraid that she would get rejected, she added, “This is an opportunity to make a debut since returning to
the country, I hope to get your support. That way, my life would be much easier in the circle.”
“Jinye…”
Xiao Qingqing resorted to a coquettish tone laced with hints of pleading. Lu Jinye glanced at Xiao
Qingqing as he agreed.
She was out of the world. After a brief small talk, she left to return to her room to get prepared.
As soon as she stepped out, Lu Jinye returned to his seat, took up his phone, and noticed Mu Zhi’s
message.
