Chapter 154 Lu Jinye’s Last-Minute Wedding

Mu Zhi watched Lu Junnian enter his car, and took off without her.

When she returned to the hospital, she received another copy of the invitation to Lu Junnian’sbetrothal.

Except for this time, it was not from Lu Junnian but Zhu Sha.

She was invited to their banquet in the home country.

Just as she was wondering how she would deal with the invitations, she received an electronic weddinginvitation in her email.

The hosts were Lu Jinye and Xiao Qingqing.

So, are Xiao Qingqing and Lu Jinye finally getting married?

Mu Zhi scrutinized every single word on the wedding invitation once again, including the punctuationsas well as the wedding photo. However, she felt nothing after reading through it a few times.

As if she was illiterate.

Thus, she re-read the invitation.

Amid her unremitting inspection, Jian Xiaoning’s call came in.

Mu Zhi was indifferent while paradoxically, Jian Xiaoning was worried sick.

“Have you heard about Lu Jinye and Xiao Qingqing’s marriage?”

Upon listening to Jian Xiaoning’s panic-stricken voice, Mu Zhi could not resist putting on a relaxedsmile, “Yes I have, what about it?”

Mu Zhi’s insouciance made Jian Xiaoning even more nervous!

“Why does it seem like you don’t feel a thing?”

“What should I feel?”

Mu Zhi’s gaze was fixed on the wedding invitation throughout the phone call.

Once again, she went through the invitation word by word.

“Sigh.”

Only to hear Jian Xiaoning’s sigh from the phone.

“I heard that Lu Jinye and Xiao Qingqing only got married because she announced her pregnancy tothe public. They say there’s a conspiracy behind it.”

Jian Xiaoning’s words did not trigger a reaction in Mu Zhi at all.

Mu Zhi casually replied, “Nah, there must be true love between Lu Jinye and Xiao Qingqing, besides,will Lu Jinye ever allow someone to coerce him into making a decision? No way. You’ve just beenreading too many melodramatic novels about the rich, hence your baseless surmise.”

“No, seriously, this is from Xu Se.”

Jian Xiaoning proclaimed solemnly.

“After Lu Jinye and Shen Mobo got into a fight last time, I heard Xu Se mentioned that Lu Jinye hasbeen cold towards Xiao Qingqing… He made me call you to ask you if we should ruin their wedding.”

“Haha.”

Mu Zhi instantly sniggered in response to Jian Xiaoning’s suggestion.

“Jian Xiaoning, when have you grown so close to Xu Se? Besides… What kind of stupid idea is that?Ruining their wedding? Why would I? I don’t love Lu Jinye and he doesn’t love me, why would I dothat?”

Mu Zhi thought she was composed.

But her heart did not seem to agree with her. The moment she said the words, ‘I don’t love Lu Jinye’,she felt tingling in her nose.

Following closely, when the words ‘he doesn’t love me’ left her lips, hot briny tears started surgingdown her cheeks uncontrollably.

Mu Zhi had always been persuading herself that she had no love for Lu Jinye.

Why did tears start coming down…

“Alright, let’s cut it. Let me go wash my face, I haven’t washed it since this morning…”

Mu Zhi made up a random excuse, then wanted to hang up the call.

However, before she could hang up, a bloating sensation arose out of nowhere. She raced to thewashroom and started retching.

The nauseous sensation that followed was insuppressible.

She took her time to steady herself in the washroom, and finally managed to get it under control. Sheslowly walked out of the washroom and put her phone against her ear before saying, “Talk to you later,I have things to take care of, bye.”

She hung up right away.

After that, she reverted her attention to the invitation, and noticed that Lu Jinye’s wedding had clashedwith Lu Junnian’s betrothal…

That’s strange, why would they put it on the same day?

She faintly recalled Lu Yunxi mention that Lu Leiming did not fancy the Lu Family. But even if that wasthe case, deliberately clashing the two events was still uncalled for. Which one was Master Lusupposed to attend?

Mu Zhi put her phone away, deciding to turn a blind eye to the matters.

Dwelling on it would not help. After all, she wouldn’t attend both of the events.

Moreover, Lu Jinye did not inform her of his wedding personally.

Strangely, the peevishness residing within her would not go away. She had the sudden urge to drink.

She wanted to use alcohol to numb herself.

But for some reason, as soon as the idea of drinking came to her, the bloating and nausea arose onceagain.

She desperately dashed into the washroom once again.

Did I get food poisoning?

…

Meanwhile, after hanging up the call, Jian Xiaoning turned her face to Xu Se, who had been waiting foran answer. She shook her head helplessly, then said, “I don’t know what’s her attitude all about.”

Xu Se seemed perturbed.

He paced the patient’s ward anxiously while saying, “By the looks of it, nothing is normal, and I have noidea what’s going on with Jinye!”

“Then you should convince Lu Jinye to cancel the wedding.”

Jian Xiaoning responded helplessly.

But her remark made Xu Se fume, “Make Jinye cancel the wedding? I need to first meet him face toface!”

“Here comes the issue, where is him?”

Jian Xiaoning was immediately muted.

She rooted her feet into the ground blankly, stared at Xu Se anxiously pacing the room ceaselessly.

She never had a sharp mind for business matters. The past half a month was as normal as it could getin her eyes. It started with Lu Jinye and Shen Mobo getting into a brawl. One of them was admitted tothe hospital. Then, she ran into Lu Jinye breaking up with Xiao Qingqing at the hospital.

Xiao Qingqing stormed out of the hospital miserably. She disappeared for a week while Shen Mobostealthily left the hospital in the middle of the night.

Then… News of Lu Jinye and Xiao Qingqing’s marriage started floating around.

Jian Xiaoning was bewildered by the way things unfolded.

Looking at her confused look, Xu Se drew a deep breath and heaved a sorrowful sigh. He decided toreach out to Liang Yunzhan.

Business had never been his strong suit too.

But he had a feeling that Lu Jinye’s decisions must be related to business and pecuniary interests.

A man like him would compromise for nothing except business interests.

Thus, Xu Se decided to enquire Liang Yunzhan regarding Lu Jinye’s financial situation!
