Be Careful, Scum Dad! Mommy Is Back!

Chapter 363: Chapter 363: Triplets Are Upset

In Ji Chao and Ji Ze’s limited memories, other than their mother, they had never seen their father holding hands so intimately with another woman.

Yet today, they witnessed it here!

Lu Xining looked at the self-invited Zhuang Tian displeasedly, refusing their wish to visit the kids.

Seeing that Zhuang Tian wasn’t giving up, her eyes instantly darkened, and her voice dropped several degrees colder, directly reminding her, "Miss Zhuang, some things are best kept to yourself for enjoyment. Everybody is not a fool; we all know what’s real and what’s fake."

She has no issue with Zhuang Tian taking pleasure in fake things.

But for Zhuang Tian to bring a fake to see the kids, that is something she cannot agree to.

If this fake were to say something inappropriate in front of the kids and hurt their hearts, Lu Xining would tear this fake’s face off.

"You’ve known all along?" Zhuang Tian asked with knitted brows.

Lu Xining, sitting on the sofa, glanced over with a look that was both cold and merciless, and retorted, "What do you think?"

Thinking about how she previously paraded around her like a performing clown, Zhuang Tian’s face was not looking very good at the moment, her eyes fixed intently on the reactions of Lu Xining across from her.

The man beside her raised an eyebrow, indeed the prey he had set his sights on before.

He always had great confidence in his "art of disguise." Previously, when he appeared before Lu Xining, he didn’t notice her having any special reactions, thinking she hadn’t seen through him, but it turned out she was just pretending all along.

This man was none other than the one who had previously posed as Lu Xining’s grandmother in front of the driveway, and later also attempted to disguise himself as Chu Yan to continue to harm her, only not expecting to have his trail found by that tigress, and his plans disrupted after hiding here and there.

Later, by chance, he was saved by Cheng Cang and came to Zhuang Tian’s side as instructed, impersonating a man he had once encountered.

The world is just so coincidental.

The prey he once had his eye on was the ex-wife of the man he was about to impersonate.

Just thinking about this part made him a little excited.

Zhuang Tian didn’t know about this man’s previous connection with Lu Xining. These past days, seeing "Ji Muye’s" obedient behavior towards her, certain thoughts in her mind were magnified, more eager to possess the real Ji Muye.

A fake will always be a fake.

The man she fell in love with at first sight is the real Ji Muye!

"Lu Xining, do you find this fun? Watching me perform a lovey-dovey act in front of you, knowing the truth but not exposing it, just waiting to see me embarrass myself, is that it?"

"Did I cause it?" Lu Xining countered.

Wasn’t all of this caused by Zhuang Tian’s own desire to have it all?

Lu Xining stood up, imposing a first layer of sensory pressure on Zhuang Tian with her height advantage. With her continuous approach, the sharp aura about her grew stronger.

She leaned in slightly, gazing into Zhuang Tian’s eyes meaningfully, "It was you who insisted on coming to me to perform. I never rejected your eagerness to perform, and even provided you with a stage. Isn’t that giving you, Eldest Miss Zhuang, some face?"

Knowing that what Lu Xining said was true, Zhuang Tian’s heart was still not convinced.

She understood all the reasoning, but she just couldn’t admit it.

Lu Xining directly pointed out her inner panic and the facts she didn’t want to acknowledge.

"Whether a man likes you has nothing to do with his ex-wife or ex-girlfriend, it only shows that your personal charm is insufficient to attract his attention."

The smile at the corner of her mouth kept widening, but the coldness in her eyes was decreasing.

"If Ji Muye had seventeen or eighteen ex-girlfriends, are you going to challenge each one? If you can’t even come to terms with someone’s past, then you shouldn’t get involved in their future," Lu Xining said indifferently.

Right now, she just has one ex-husband, Ji Muye. If there were any more, would she have to deal with each current girlfriend and pursuer coming to trouble her? Wouldn’t she die of exhaustion?

"My advice is, you could choose a man who appreciates your charm."

It’s a harsh truth, but Zhuang Tian, in her infatuation, couldn’t bring herself to let go of Ji Muye.

Even just facing this imposter and looking at his face, identical to Ji Muye’s, her heart would race wildly.

Ji Chao and Ji Ze, after seeing "Ji Muye" holding hands with Zhuang Tian, did not continue to walk out, but retreated back into the children’s toy store, drawing Little Dumpling’s puzzled gaze.

"Brother, what’s wrong with you?"

She was curious as to why they had come back so soon after leaving.

Their expressions now were just like hers when she was not allowed to have snacks.

Looking downcast.

Ji Ze, sitting in a chair with his chin propped on his hands, sighed, "Nothing much, just feeling a bit face-pained."

Lu Nuonuo was utterly confused: "???"

She hopped off the toy pony and scurried over to the sofa, tilting her head to take a careful look at his face, and asked in confusion, "Did your dad hit you guys?"

Just thinking about the scene he had witnessed earlier made Ji Ze so upset that he didn’t want to speak.

It was also at this moment that he realized what he really wanted was for his mom and dad to be together, not for his dad to be with some other auntie, and his mom with some other uncle.

Little Dumpling shifted her gaze towards Ji Chao, her voice clear yet bewildered, "Brother, what’s wrong with little brother?"

Ji Chao told her about the situation outside.

Lu Nuonuo, holding both brothers’ hands, put on a wise look beyond her years on her small cheeks, and said, "Brothers, your dad is going to have a new girlfriend."

Ji Ze: "..." So heartbroken.

Ji Chao: "..." My little sister is so funny.

Little Dumpling was very curious about what was being discussed outside, so she stealthily approached the doorstep of the children’s toy store and peeked out towards the living room.

Ji Ze still felt uneasy and ran over to sneak a peek as well.

Concerned that his brother and sister would be caught spying, Ji Chao also hurried over.

Three little faces piled up, all of them intently observing the few people in the living room, sensing the tense atmosphere among the adults.

They had just missed the part where Lu Xining exposed the imposter, only seeing Zhuang Tian’s angry departure and "Ji Muye" following her, missing the way he didn’t even glance back at them, which instantly filled Ji Chao and Ji Ze’s hearts with sadness.

Lu Xining had not noticed the movements of the three siblings; she was still pondering the matter mentioned by Zhuang Tian.

Suddenly, her gaze flickered, noticing something black in the corner of the carpet.

Lu Xining bent down to pick it up and found out it was Haozi’s ring.

The black round ring, personally designed by Haozi and made with internal components of a computer, with a string of mini-code in its center.

The only one of its kind in the world.

The person who had been sitting here just before was that... imposter.

Was it something he left behind?

Every time she managed to find some leads, Zhuang Tian would bring the imposter before her, was she really lovesick and thoughtless, or was she pretending to be foolish to deceive her?

Lu Xining caressed the ring on her fingertip, the darkness in her eyes growing heavier.

She thought of the information previously mentioned by Fu Junhang, Haozi’s recent locations were traced back to the Zhuang Family.

And the bricks she had brought back from the old Chu Family residence in Port City, the substances detected within them were related to the Zhuang Family’s Tianyi Brick Factory.

No matter which issue, it was inextricably linked to the Zhuang Family.
