Falling For The Contract Bride

Chapter 89

Chapter 89 Are You Still In Love With Mu Zhi?

It was the first time he saw Mu Zhi in this state.

Lu Jinye stood outside the door, staring at Mu Zhi trembling all over as she cried.

Mu Zhi had always displayed her jovial side before Lu Jinye’s eyes. She behaved like just a typical wealthy wife who fancied luxurious items, living a carefree life. This is from NôvelDrama.Org.

Lu Jinye almost believed that Mu Zhi was living a carefree life…

But… He did not know her at all.

Standing by the door, Lu Jinye was even hesitating to move his foot. He did not step forward, only stood still, peering at Mu Zhi, who was in the room.

Lu Jinye showed no emotion on his face, but he would not take his eyes off Mu Zhi for a split second.

His attention was only diverted when a doctor came next to him, hesitating to knock on the door.

“What is it?”

The doctor noticed it was Lu Jinye. The currently-ongoing rumors allowed the doctor to recognize the relationship between Lu Jinye and the crying woman in the room. He hesitated briefly before greeting Lu Jinye courteously.

“Mr. Lu, should I talk to the family member about this?”

Lu Jinye saw the notice in the doctor’s hand. He waved his hand at the doctor, gesturing him not to enter the room. He opened his thin lips, “You can talk to me, don’t disturb her.”

“Look, this is breakthrough research in the states. The technology hasn’t been introduced to our country so far. If you are financially viable, you can consider bringing the patient to the states for the treatment, there might be a higher chance of recovering.”

In between his words, the doctor handed a series of reports to Lu Jinye.

Lu Jinye frowned lightly as he flipped through the pages, scanning for key data.

The report stated that the risk of the treatment was relatively low while it was a forgiving surgical procedure. So, Lu Jinye turned to the doctor with doubts, “Then what else is there to discuss with Mu Zhi?”

“About money.”

“The total cost of the treatment in the United States comes to about 8000 million, I understand that the family member of the patient…”

The doctor was hesitant to continue.

Because he could not gauge the situation!

He was the doctor in charge of Mu Zhi’s mother’s treatment, so he was quite familiar with her condition. In the past, Mu Zhi could not even afford the basic patient’s ward for her mother.

Mu Zhi’s situation became slightly more comfortable after a while. She managed to settle the medical bills on time, but the doctor could sense Mu Zhi’s reluctance every time he proposed a new procedure or drug. She was seemingly still financially restricted.

However! Nobody expected that her husband was Lu Jinye!

Mu Zhi’s calculative behavior did not make her look like the wife of a wealthy woman at all.

“Just proceed with the application, I will get my assistant to transfer the funds to the hospital account.”

Lu Jinye looked at the doctor with listless eyes and gave the order.

“Sure, I will quickly book a bed at the hospital over there.”

Finishing what he had to say, the doctor turned around and left. Lu Jinye’s attention then returned to Mu Zhi in the Intensive Care Unit, engrossed in his thoughts.

At this moment, Mu Zhi had stopped crying, but the tear mark remained on her face. Her broken heart was visible from her expression. Lu Jinye stared for a while. He did not end up entering the ward. Turning around, he left the hospital, got into his car, and gave a call to his assistant, asking her to see that the arrangements were completed smoothly, and the funds were transferred to the account.

Then, he rang his property manager, ordering him to hurriedly ready the apartment that was located in the city center, two blocks away from Mu Xiaomu’s kindergarten.

Lu Jinye had plenty of properties that he had no plan of staying in. He would purchase, renovate and furnish them, and stopped batting an eye at them.

After getting the house cleaned by the butler, Lu Jinye brought Linda along and visited the apartment. It was over 300 square meters with a magnificent view and exceptional ventilation. The interior fit-out was delicate, yet sumptuous. The marbled floor was almost glittering like a sea of stars.

There was enough space for both storage and activities.

There was even a miniature children’s play area on top of it. Even Linda could not help but feel a tinge of jealousy for the woman who was about to move in.

In the end, Lu Jinye put on a scowl. He turned back and solemnly questioned Linda, “Don’t you think the apartment is too small?”

“Huh… It’s quite spacious already!”

Linda blurted out.

“How many of them are there?”

It was definitely enough for four generations to live in.

“Two women and a kid.”

“It’s more than enough!”

Linda assured that if the apartment was considered small, how were families of five supposed to squeeze in a sixty-square-meter house?

“Great, reach out to Jian Xiaoning.”

Then, Lu Jinye went back into the children’s room, assessing the room in case it needed anything else.

Twenty minutes later, Jian Xiaoning was brought to the apartment. She gulped involuntarily as soon as she stepped through the door.

Looking at the room… Put her in a trance.

When she was studying the area in astonishment, Lu Jinye walked out of the room insouciantly. He saw Jian Xiaoning and held his hand up, gesturing for an invitation to take a seat on the couch.

“Mr. Lu, what can I do for you?”

Jian Xiaoning stared at Lu Jinye, puzzled on the surface but secretly admiring the massive apartment that belonged to Lu Jinye.

“Are you pleased with this place?”

“Yes.”

Jian Xiaoning blurted out without hesitation.

Lu Jinye then tossed a set of keys towards her as he spoke, “Pack up, look for a moving services company and move your stuff in.”

“We are moving in?”

Jian Xiaoning became even more stupefied… It was obvious to her that Lu Jinye had no plan of taking her in as a mistress inviting her to move over.

He must have done it for Mu Zhi.

But Lu Jinye did not explain further. All he said was, “The house you’re living in is too small.”

Finishing what he had to say, he rose and headed out the door, not wanting to say anything else.

He left Jian Xiaoning, feet planted into the ground at a loss… So… Lu Jinye was telling them to stay in a bigger house.

“Wait up!”

Jian Xiaoning took a few strides as she called out for Lu Jinye, “Umm, Mr. Lu, why did you ask us to move in out of a sudden?”

“Are you still in love with Mu Zhi?”

Jian Xiaoning went straight to the point.

Lu Jinye turned around to look at Jian Xiaoning with a slight frown. He had no answer to her question.

So, he did not bother responding and left.

…

Upon leaving the Intensive Care Unit, the doctor passed by coincidentally and handed Mu Zhi an invoice.

The numbers on the invoice threw her off. What caught her eyes was the long series of digits on the price tag.

“What is this? Where does the money come from?”
