Falling For The Contract Bride Chapter 160

Chapter 160 Mu Xiaomu Is Mu Zhi’s Daughter!

The beaming smile on Jian Xiaoning’s face was too obvious. She jovially skipped around Xu Se, then clutched his face, saying, “Hey, you’re not that stupid after all, at least your brain can be useful sometimes.”

Facing the sudden compliments by Jian Xiaoning, Xu Se became even more confused.

However, Jian Xiaoning explained, “That means Mu Xiaomu is Lu Jinye’s child from the one-night stand!”

Xu Se was expecting a ground-breaking suggestion coming from Jian Xiaoning, looking at her cheerful expression.

But her words instantly made him give her an eye-roll.

“Pfft, who are you gonna fool with that stupid plan? Do you think Jinye will believe it when you say that he’s the father of your child?”

Jian Xiaoning glared at him.

“Mu Xiaomu isn’t my child, she is Mu Zhi’s! Mu Zhi had a one-night stand before. But it’s too late now. The wedding is taking place tomorrow, the DNA results won’t come out in time. Fine, I’ve decided to go to the hospital to make a falsified copy of DNA report to prove that Lu Jinye and Xiaomu are father and child.”

“Then?”

Xu Se was completely caught off guard by Jian Xiaoning’s bold, outrageous plan at this point.

“Then… We will hide Xiaomu tomorrow, and announce of her disappearance in a timely manner.”

“Great!”

Xu Se could no longer analyze the logic of her suggestion. To him, any plan was a good plan.

After all, he had always believed in true love. All he wanted was to stop Lu Jinye from throwing himself under the bus, of which Xiao Qingqing was the driver, once again!

Done, that was the plan!

He promptly dropped Jian Xiaoning off at the hospital. She intended to backtrack Mu Xiaomu’s birthday to match the night of Lu Jinye’s one-night stand as a stronger justification, but Xu Se could not recall the exact date it happened.

Thus, the pair could only falsify the birth certificate for now.

Following that, Mu Xiaomu was brought to one of Xu Se’s villa to fake her abduction.

Next up… Was to lure Mu Zhi back to the country.

Mu Zhi had been too passive. Jian Xiaoning always believed that if Mu Zhi had witnessed Lu Jinye marrying another woman in person, her jealous self might make her realize that she actually loved Lu Jinye!

True enough, Jian Xiaoning had seen too many melodramas. All of these plans were devised based on what she learned from the dramas.

Thus, she executed what seemed like a flawless plan to her.

It was morning in City A and night time at where Mu Zhi was.

She received a call in the middle of the night. It was Xiao Qingqing nudging her to attend the wedding, and informing her that the flight was ready.

Mu Zhi intentionally dressed up in black.

He only made her attend the wedding but didn’t specify what she should show up in.

Since they were blatantly gloating over their marriage, she figured she should retaliate by treating it as a funeral.

Mu Zhi boarded the flight in a drowsy daze. Before the flight departed, her phone rang once again.

It was from Jian Xiaoning. Her tone was overwhelmed by terror, saying, “Mu Zhi, Xiaomu has gone missing!”

“How did you lose her?”

Mu Zhi had her eyes shut for a light nap before the call came in. Listening to Jian Xiaoning’s words startled her to the edge of the seat, question her solemnly.

“I have no idea. I brought Xiaomu out to play yesterday, we even ran into Xiao Qingqing. I brought her home and told her that I’ll be going downstairs to buy some stuff. I told her to wait for me, but when I came back, she was gone!”

“I can’t find anything on the surveillance footage too!”

Fortunately, she only had to lie over the phone call. Jian Xiaoning realized that her acting wasn’t as seasoned as she thought it was. Despite countless rehearsals of the storyline she learned from drama, she could not resist her trembling during the call.

However… Jian Xiaoning’s trembling voice was only perceived as nervousness in Mu Zhi’s ear.

Mu Zhi clenched her fists uncontrollably at the sound of Xiao Qingqing’s name but calmly consoled Jian Xiaoning.

“Don’t be afraid, I’m on my way to City A. Confront Xiao Qingqing, keep an eye on her, and make sure she doesn’t go anywhere.”

“Ok.” This content © 2024 NôvelDrama.Org.

Jian Xiaoning’s worries were mollified. She didn’t think the plan would happen so smoothly.

She promptly obliged.

And hung up the call.

Throughout the journey of the flight, Mu Zhi had never imagined that she would be so eager to see Xiao Qingqing.

The flight landed at a field of mount chateau. Mu Zhi got off the flight and was greeted by a romantic air of the wedding.

But she had no time to admire the extravagant wedding decorations Xiao Qingqing arranged. She asked the first footman she saw, “Where is Xiao Qingqing?”

Seeing that an overbearing air was clung onto Mu Zhi, the footman did not dare slight her, “At the makeup room.”

Then, he promptly ushered Mu Zhi to the door of the makeup room before scrambling away timidly.

Mu Zhi did not bother knocking on the door before bursting into the room. Xiao Qingqing was surrounded by a team of makeup artists and fashion designers amid makeup. Noticing Mu Zhi’s arrival,

she greeted her through the reflection of the mirror, “Miss Mu, I didn’t expect that you’d show up. What a forgiving woman you are.”

“Cut your crap.”

Mu Zhi peered at Xiao Qingqing disdainfully.

She must admit that Xiao Qingqing looked spectacular. The superb skills of the artists paired with Xiao Qingqing’s charms made her look like she was an angel descended from the heavens.

However, Mu Zhi could not be bothered by Xiao Qingqing’s appearance, as ethereal as she might be.

She questioned Xiao Qingqing right away, “Where is Mu Xiaomu?”

Xiao Qingqing did not turn back. In a languid voice, she responded, “Miss Mu, why would I know where Mu Xiaomu is? The child has nothing to do with me.”

“Stop pretending.”

Mu Zhi stood behind Xiao Qingqing.

Deep down, Mu Zhi was not that concerned. Listening to Jian Xiaoning’s recollection, Mu Zhi had determined that Xiao Qingqing abducted Mu Xiaomu just to lure her to the wedding. Since Mu Zhi had shown up, Mu Xiaomu would be fine.

To her knowledge, Xiao Qingqing might be a sly woman, but wouldn’t go as far as to kidnap a child.

After all, the wedding had taken the city by storm. Almost every member of the prominent media outlets of the city was invited. Thus, any devious actions by Xiao Qingqing would be exposed to the public in a flash.

However, Xiao Qingqing was clueless.

She said to Mu Zhi, “Miss Mu, I have no idea what you’re talking about.”

“Please excuse me, it’s time for me to get changed.”

She drove Mu Zhi away in preparation to change into the wedding gown.

At this moment, Lu Jinye showed up at the scene, considerably late.

He did not seem to be anxious in contrast to Xu Se, who showed up even later, scurrying towards Lu Jinye. He said, “Jinye, let me show you a laboratory test report!”
