Chapter 119: Chapter 119: No Wonder She Was Dumped by Ji Muye After He Slept with Her
Lu Xining cast a cold gaze toward the doorway.
Seeing her stunningly delicate face, which remained beautiful even in a patient’s gown, the man squinted his bean-sized eyes, revealing a covetous and sleazy expression.
“Sis, so this is the new niece our family has acknowledged, isn’t she? She’s really pretty.”
Unable to push past the bodyguard’s obstruction, Zhang Yuqiang simply stood at the door and spoke.
Rembering the na his sister had ntioned, he tried to get on her good side, “Ningning, I’m your uncle, you can co to for anything in the future.”
“No matter how late it is, your uncle’s ‘door’ will always be open for you.”
When he said the word “door,” he couldn’t help but emphasize it, and the smile at the corner of his mouth, coupled with his greasy face, beca even more nauseating.
Last night, the Lu Family’s bodyguards had been injured, and those left guarding the door were mostly the Ji Family’s, along with so people transferred from the old mansion, including a few faces Zhang Yuzhi recognized.
In front of others, Zhang Yuzhi always maintained a gentle and charming deanor.
She turned her head towards Lu Xining, “Ningning, look, we’re all family here. Your uncle has even put aside company affairs to co see you, shouldn’t you at least let him co in, sit down, and have a drink of water?”
Upon hearing this, Zhang Yuqiang imdiately raised the gift box in his hand, “Yes, yes, your uncle has bought you so nutritious products, all of them good for replenishing your health!”
Lu Xining sneered and pressed her lips together without speaking.
This sibling pair’s self-indulgent air truly made it impossible to tell that she was Ji Muye’s stepmother.
Up until now, she remained puzzled as to what Mr. Ji saw in Zhang Yuzhi.
She lacked in appearance, personality, and family background compared to his first wife, and her vision was also incredibly shallow.
Could it be that the wealthy people of this era liked won with petty-minded dispositions?
Zhang Yuqiang’s eyes nearly overflowed with his intentions, and yet he insisted on presenting a benevolent facade, which starkly contradicted his underhanded deanor.
“Who agreed to acknowledge this kinship with you?”
“I have a father, a mother, relatives; if you really want to acknowledge this kinship, make sure to ask them personally whether they agree or not.”
Lu Xining’s voice was crisp and distant, her mocking gaze as though ridiculing their wishful thinking.
Zhang Yuzhi’s and Zhang Yuqiang’s faces changed simultaneously!
The latter directly scolded her angrily, “How can you be such an ingrate? My brother-in-law was the forr president of Shi’an Group. You don’t even appreciate being elevated in status, no wonder that little brat Ji Muye dumped you after sleeping with you.”
Zhang Yuzhi pretended to sigh, “Yuqiang, don’t speak about Ningning like that. She just hasn’t recovered from yesterday’s fear. I don’t bla her.”
In the hospital room, Lu Xining couldn’t hold back a laugh.
“You two combined are nearly a hundred years old, so why are your thoughts so childish?”
Zhang Yuzhi and her brother: “…”
“The brother-in-law you boast about is my son’s biological grandfather. What do you think he could possibly do to ?”
Her gaze toward the door was like a bottomless abyss in the darkness, sending a bone-chilling cold through those it landed on, making Zhang Yuqiang’s scalp tingle.
“In seeking a daughter, don’t just look at whether others are suitable; consider whether you’re worthy enough.”
Those lustrous almond-shaped eyes were now veiled in indifference and coldness.
Zhang Yuzhi’s eyes revealed a mix of shock and anger. Just as she opened her mouth to speak, she heard Lu Xining’s voice.
“To be my mother, you’re not qualified enough.”
“Lu Xining!” Zhang Yuzhi’s questioning voice was tinged with anger.
The fla that hovered in her chest was forcefully suppressed when she saw the bodyguards at the door, as well as the occasional passing doctors, her eyes turning bloodshot with restrained fury.
“There’s one more thing.”
Lu Xining looked at Zhang Yuzhi with sharp, discerning, and suspicious eyes.
“The decision for my child and to go to the old mansion last night was made just this morning. How could Chen Li have known about it?”
“And to have so many people hidden on Qingsha Avenue, even the timing was just right, as if soone had been tipping them off from the shadows.”
The woman in front of her had eyes like a February snowfall, just eting her gaze made one’s back chill.
Outside the window, the sunlight was bright, but Zhang Yuzhi felt as if she was in an ice cave, her rigid spine silently signifying her inner unrest.
Even Zhang Yuqiang at the door had suddenly beco quiet, his gaze elusive, not daring to et her eyes out of guilt.
Lu Xining: “Liu Xixi was also at the scene…”
Hearing this na, Zhang Yuzhi’s breathing noticeably skipped a beat, and her heart tensed as if it was about to leap out.
She pretended to know nothing and looked up at Lu Xining.
“Maybe one of the old mansion’s servants leaked the information.”
“After all, preparations for your al had to be made in advance since you were coming, and perhaps soone was bribed.”
Seeing her scared expression, what more could Lu Xining be unsure of?
Lu Xining: “Is that so?”
Though she sat in her wheelchair, she emanated an overwhelming oppressive aura.
“In that case, I must remind Ji Muye to thoroughly investigate every person in the old mansion, including phone calls, money transfers, and social interactions, not to let any fish escape the net.”
Her voice was soft yet possessed an inexplicable depth.
Zhang Yuzhi, with a guilty conscience, was anxious and scared.
Zhang Yuqiang had been at the doorway, making eye signals to his sister, urging her to rush to the matter regarding the ZN laboratory, but she was too preoccupied and anxious to notice his reminders.
He had barely taken a half step inside when a bodyguard, expressionless, blocked him, leaving Zhang Yuqiang both furious and helpless.
The wind outside the window brought the remaining warmth of sumr.
Lu Xining maneuvered her wheelchair around, glanced at her, then told the bodyguard, “Show the guest out.”
Imdiately, two bodyguards stepped in at the doorway and gestured to Zhang Yuzhi to leave.
Lu Xining didn’t want to slap Zhang Yuzhi right away.
But more than the imdiate satisfaction, she relished the cat-and-mouse ga, watching the mouse live its days in constant tension, tail tucked in fear, always on edge.
More importantly, compared to the overt manipulation of being held by the handle, she was better at playing it underhanded.
“Sister, about the laboratory…”
Zhang Yuqiang was about to speak when Zhang Yuzhi pulled him away; right now, whether or not the laboratory mattered, she didn’t even know if she could continue staying with the Ji Family!
Had she known Liu Xixi was such a waste, she would never have cooperated with her. She wouldn’t be in this difficult situation now, restrained by a junior.
Lu Xining: “Wait a mont.”
Zhang Yuqiang’s eyes lit up, thinking she had changed her mind, but then he heard…
“Take this soup box with you.”
Before leaving, his gaze lingered on her face and below her collarbone, his already small eyes narrowing even further, and when assessing others, they brimd with lecherous desire.
In his heart, Zhang Yuqiang made up his mind: since this woman wouldn’t listen, he’d have soone abduct her to his harem, and after sleeping with her a few tis, he would make sure to “ta” her!
Lu Xining’s eyes sharpened, acutely aware of the murky malevolence in this man’s gaze.
The hospital room returned to silence.
She imdiately took out her phone and sent Monkey a ssage: “Check on Zhang Yuzhi and her brother Zhang Yuqiang.”
In the following days,
perhaps pressured by her brother, Zhang Yuzhi tried various ways to visit the hospital twice but was stopped by the bodyguards at the door of the ward each ti.
She did not know that the reason she was able to enter the ward the first ti was solely because Lu Xining had already suspected her of being the one who tipped off Liu Xixi and had alerted the hospital ward’s bodyguards in advance.
After Ji Chao and Ji Ze recovered, Lu Xining had Ji Muye take them ho.
And after more than a week in the hospital, she was discharged as well.
During her stay at the hospital, Lu Xining would have the family’s butler prepare three als a day for Song Henian.
She also reflected on possible treatnt plans for his leg ailnts in her mind.
And she did indeed co up with a solution!
At the top floor of Shi’an Group.
Ji Muye looked at the two sons in his office, as well as Lu Nuonuo they were holding by the hand, and furrowed his brow.
“Where’s your mother?”
