Falling For The Contract Bride Chapter 152

Chapter 152 How Enchanting Is That Woman

Shen Mobo fumed. He threw a punch on Lu Jinye’s face.

Lu Jinye was having none of it. He returned the favor by launching a punch at Shen Mobo.

Everyone knew that the bar was owned by Xu Se, and as such, nobody would dare make a scene at the bar.

Let alone brawling!

Everyone knew who the two were. All of the staff members were jaw-dropped. They were not courageous enough to step in but were troubled to see the mess they made.

Finally, someone could not help but speak up, “Hurry up, give Young Master Xu a call! W-we can’t afford to have either of these young masters hurt!”

One of the waiting staff then scrambled for the phone, and rang Xu Se!

…

Xu Se was having a great time in his bar in the first place. But he left the bar when he saw both Lu Jinye and Shen Mobo’s moody faces, to run away from their gloom.

Upon leaving the bar, Xu Se had no idea where to go. He took a stroll around town, browsed his phone, and ended up hopping into his car, heading to the airport.

When Jian Xiaoning stepped out of the airport, she was baffled to see Xu Se before her eyes. He was there to pick her up.

She blinked her eyes at Xu Se in disbelief. After ascertaining that it was indeed Xu Se, she pulled the luggage and went in a different direction.

Xu Se felt humiliated by her action. He swiftly strode towards her to stand in her way.

In a roguish manner, he said, “What is it? Not happy to see me?”

Jian Xiaoning rolled her eyes to the back of her head, “My horoscope sign predicts that I should be taking this route. Is that not allowed?”

In this instance, Xu Se’s phone suddenly rang.

He glanced at the phone and noticed that the call was from the bar. He answered it insouciantly only to hear a panicking voice from his staff member, “Mr. Lu and Young Master Shen just got into a brawl! Please come back here, we… We don’t dare to stop them.”

“Stop them, stop them right now!”

“Get everyone to pull them apart. Don’t worry about the business, just don’t let them fight!”

Xu Se could not bother his astonishment, he gave his orders, hung up the phone, seized Jian Xiaoning’s luggage, and dashed towards his car.

Meanwhile, Jian Xiaoning was stupefied. Her luggage was in Xu Se’s hands, so she could only chase after him.

“Hey hey hey, put my luggage down, what do you think you are doing?”

“Get in the car!”

Xu Se skipped the explanation to Jian Xiaoning. He was already standing by his car when he came to a halt, asking Jian Xiaoning to get in.

Jian Xiaoning was dumbstruck by the cool temperament Xu Se radiated. She complied obsequiously.

As soon as she entered, Xu Se took off with a screeching tire squeak. Jian Xiaoning grasped the armrest with both hands, feeling that she might be launched out of her seat at any moment.

When they got to the bar entrance, Xu Se told Jian Xiaoning to enter, explaining to her, “Lu Jinye and Shen Mobo got into a fight, you’re responsible to dress their wounds.”

“…”

Jian Xiaoning did not bother rolling her eyes at Xu Se anymore. She mumbled with a chuckle, “But I’m a pediatrician.”

However, as soon as she stepped into the bar, the idea of her specialization instantly got swept away but what she saw.

Adults fighting like kids?

Moreover, Lu Jinye had always shown poise, while Shen Mobo was the calmest of the lot!

By the looks of their wounds, Lu Jinye’s fighting skills were superior to Shen Mobo. Apart from a punch bruise, he did not appear to have any other injury.

When the staff saw Xu Se and Jian Xiaoning’s arrival, they scurried over to explain the ordeal to Xu Se so that Xu Se would have a clearer picture of the situation.

…

In the United States.

When Mu Zhi rushed to the hospital, she found out that her mother had truly regained consciousness through the glass barrier. The numbers on the ECG machine showed everything was normal.

But the doctor informed Mu Zhi that she must not enter the ward yet. The patient had been unconscious for many years. Despite having woken up, she was just starting to get used to the perception of her surroundings. Seeing Mu Zhi might trigger an unwanted series of reactions.

Mu Zhi thought it was nothing short of a miracle. She was grateful to the gods for her mother’s progress.

She quickly showed her eager gratitude to the doctor.

In this instance, her phone suddenly went off.

Noticing that it came from Jian Xiaoning, she picked it up anxiously. But before she could share the good news to Jian Xiaoning, she could hear Jian Xiaoning’s gossipy tone, “Guess whose wound I dressed today?”

“Who?”

“Lu Jinye and Shen Mobo!”

“Why?”

Mu Zhi asked in surprise.

“Shen Mobo and Lu Jinye were brawling. I heard they fought because of Xiao Qingqing.”

Jian Xiaoning was flummoxed. She must spill the hot tea to Mu Zhi, and gain some information from Mu Zhi to make sense of the incident.

However, Mu Zhi’s heart skipped a beat.

Why would she be conscience-struck?

“Why did they fight for Xiao Qingqing?”

She asked tentatively.

Did Xiao Qingqing find out about what happened between her and Lu Jinye? She told Shen Mobo, and he wanted to stand up for Xiao Qingqing, hence the confrontation with Lu Jinye.

Also, did that mean that she was next in line to be beaten up?

Mu Zhi could not help but hold her breath, allowing Jian Xiaoning to carry on with her story.

But Jian Xiaoning was as clueless as her. She elaborated her surmise, “Perhaps Shen Mobo likes Xiao Qingqing too, and as you know, Lu Jinye is marrying her, so both of them were fighting for their love. Tsk tsk, I wonder what Xiao Qingqing did to enchant the two men.”

After finishing her gossip, Jian Xiaoning suddenly recalled Mu Zhi’s purpose of travel, she asked, “Oh right, how are things in the states? Would you like me to go and bring Xiaomu back tomorrow? It’s tough to take care of a patient and the kid at the same time.”

Before Mu Zhi responded to Jian Xiaoning.

The voice of a man suddenly came into her ears.

“Dad, she’s awake. Yeah, got it. Don’t worry, I won’t do anything to her. I won’t acknowledge our relationship too.”

“Her daughter seems to be quite adamant.”

The few lines sounded like it came out of a drama series.

Mu Zhi turned around to face the man and realized that it was Dr. Bai Shao, who was attached to the treatment.

A dash of anxiousness flashed across Bai Shao’s face when he saw Mu Zhi, he said, “I have some business to take care of, talk later, I’ll continue to update you. Goodbye, dean.”

He addressed him as the dean!

Mu Zhi was starting to get confused. Was Bai Shao’s father the dean of the hospital? She was certain that she overheard him saying ‘dad’. Original from NôvelDrama.Org.

However, Bai Shao just nodded at Mu Zhi courteously before leaving.

Mu Zhi came back to her senses and continued chatting with Jian Xiaoning.

But Jian Xiaoning told Mu Zhi that Xiao Qingqing had come to the scene. She had to catch up to the latest gossip and hung up the call.
