Chapter 336: Chapter 336: She’s Teasing the Cheap Dad Again
"Think being rich is so impressive?"
The man’s current dying appearance is exactly like Ji Ze when he makes a mistake and refuses to admit it!
It’s not such a big deal to be rich, but Ji Muye belongs to the especially wealthy category. However, upon hearing the emotional fluctuations in Lu Xining’s words, he opens his mouth but ultimately decides to swallow his words back down.
His instinct tells him that, at this moment, silence is more useful than arguing.
The atmosphere in the room falls into a deadlock.
Lu Xining’s movements while applying the medicine suddenly become harsher, and her face becomes extremely cold.
Throughout the process, the man does not make a single sound.
She quickly deals with Ji Muye’s wounds, and this time she chooses not to use bandages. Apart from the specially treated wound on his back, the wounds on the front are left exposed to the air.
There’s heating in the room, so it won’t feel cold even without a blanket.
Noticing her gaze resting somewhere, Ji Muye isn’t bashful, it’s just somewhat unnatural.
"You can’t wrap your wounds in bandages for the next few days, and you can’t wear any clothes. Out of protection for my daughter’s eyes, I won’t let her come to see you for a while."
Ji Muye purses his lips, his gaze doesn’t stray from the Lu Xining in front of him. At this moment, her anger makes her seem closer to him than her previous distant and polite demeanor.
He asks in a hoarse voice, "For how long?"
Lu Xining glances over and says, "Ten days to half a month, maybe."
Ji Muye: "..."
He feels like he has lifted a rock only to drop it on his own foot.
But the very next day, Little Dumpling removes that stone.
When she bounces in with her candied hawthorn, she hears the stepfather’s voice telling her not to enter.
"Huh?" Lu Nuonuo doesn’t understand.
She raises her hand holding the candied hawthorn, half in the hallway and half in the ward, touching Little Jiu Jiu on top of her head, not understanding what’s got into her stepfather today.
It is only now that Ji Muye realizes the consequences of Lu Xining not bandaging his wounds.
He can only look from a distance at his obedient and puzzled daughter, who seems not to understand but respects his decision. In a soft and glutinous voice, she says, "Then... can I eat the candied hawthorn?"
Lu Nuonuo deliberately lifts the strawberry candied hawthorn in her hand, its vibrant color making it look tempting.
"Nuonuo will take a big bite, just one, okay?"
"Once it’s gone, it’s all gone~"
Little Dumpling’s expression and tone resemble that of the Big Bad Wolf coaxing Little Red Riding Hood in the cartoons.
Ji Muye, who doesn’t have a big sweet tooth, looks at his daughter as if she’s offering a treasure. A smile forms on his lips as he reminds her, "Don’t eat too much, or you’ll get cavities."
This pleasant and warm little scene is frequently performed at the entrance of the hospital room.
The bodyguard stationed at the door has also changed from the one from the research base to one of Ji Muye’s own men.
During the time Ji Muye’s wounds are healing, Lu Xining isn’t idle either. She makes Haozi gather all the information about the Zhuang Family based on the clue of Tianyi Brick Factory owned by the Zhuang Family.
"Where’s Nuonuo?"
In between her busy schedule, Lu Xining inquires about her daughter’s whereabouts with her female assistant.
The female assistant can’t help but chuckle as she says, "Oh, she’s gone to tease her stepfather with a candied hawthorn again today."
Lu Xining: "..."
Well, as long as my daughter is happy.
She tells her assistant to keep an eye on Little Dumpling when possible and lowers her gaze to continue reading the documents in her hands, which Haozi has just sent over.
This week, Zhuang Tian’s schedule is even busier than hers.
Zhuang Tian must know that the Ji Muye by her side is a fake. They appear together in many public events, but no matter how the media reporters try to capture them, they can only get photos from certain angles of the man; no other photos make it to the market.
But even so, many netizens start shipping the romance story of the cold-faced CEO and the sweet rich girl.
Lu Xining looks at a few photos with interest. Well, Zhuang Tian indeed looks as sweet as her name suggests, giving off a sweet and cute vibe that easily makes one overlook her nearly 1.7 meters height.
Thinking back to the fleeting glimpse at the banquet, she flips past the gossip videos about the trending searches and continues reading the rest.
Across from her, Fu Junhang was also handling the tasks entrusted to him by Lu Xining.
"Cheng Cang hasn’t been in Fuxian lately. After the car repair shop incident, he’s been running all over the place, meeting with a messy crowd, but there’s one person whose identity is different. Take a look here."
He pulled out one of the photos and pointed at the man on it, "What’s your first impression of this person you see?"
Lu Xining took the photo and eyed it carefully.
The man in the photograph didn’t stand out, whether it was his height, physique, or appearance, none provided notably memorable features.
She knitted her brows, "A very common face, the kind that one would forget as soon as they look away."
Lu Xining’s gaze soon concentrated on his hands, her eyes cold, "However, he does have a pair of skillful hands."
Those hands were several times more good-looking than any others she had ever seen.
"Do you remember the person you asked me to investigate before?"
"The one who disguised himself as my grandma?"
Fu Junhang nodded, his gaze falling on the photo that Lu Xining had placed back on the coffee table, telling her that someone else had encountered a similar situation before.
The resurfacing of a long-lost loved one can easily trap those who miss them in a delighted quandary.
Many people have been cheated out of a lot of money in this way.
"This person’s skills are comparable to the art of facial disguise."
Hearing this, Lu Xining fell silent for a moment; the so-called art of facial disguise is not difficult with modern technological products.
To be frank, it is also a kind of special effects makeup.
The fake arranged by Ji Muye to follow Zhuang Tian shows that this technology is not that rare.
The government has departments of this sort.
They are mainly for people on secret and special missions, to provide disguises.
But the man who appeared in front of the car previously had more advanced skills. If it wasn’t for the fact that she had personally laid her grandmother to rest, she might have been easily convinced that the elderly woman had come back to life.
However, since then, that person never returned; she almost forgot about the incident.
Fu Junhang continued, "You are also one of his targets."
His people found out that this person had conducted a detailed investigation of Lu Xining’s information.
But, because of his and Haozi’s intervention, all information about Lu Xining’s divorce has been completely sealed.
"This person is very adept at deceiving and manipulating."
Before focusing on a target, he studies all of their information. Apart from their appearance, he also recreates past events between people, plunging those with obsessions into fabricated illusions.
Lu Xining listened quietly to Fu Junhang’s narrative.
When she heard that he won’t proceed to the next target without completing the previous one, she expressed her doubt, "I haven’t seen him since."
Fu Junhang’s mouth curled into a cold smirk, "If one always walks by the river, one cannot avoid getting their shoes wet."
This person indeed only swindled for money, but the last powerful woman he deceived took a liking to his charm, directly issued a manhunt for him on the streets.
"He’s been hiding all over for a while, and later hooked up with Cheng Cang, and now has become one of his underlings."
When Lu Xining and Fu Junhang first encountered Cheng Cang, they both thought he was just a gang leader in a small county town.
In just a few months.
Upon meeting him again, this man not only had aliases, but also had close ties with the Chu Family.
Fu Junhang reminded her, "The identity of this Cheng Cang is questionable, we need to be more cautious. It’s hard to say he isn’t sent by the opponent."
"I understand."
Lu Xining was not someone who easily trusted others.
As the two were discussing the follow-up matters, both of their phones vibrated at the same time.
After answering the calls, a heaviness abruptly settled in their hearts. They looked at each other, both faces equally solemn.
Some things really shouldn’t be mentioned!
