Falling for the Contract Bride

Chapter 55 Mu Zhi Was Supposed To Be Mine in the First Place!

A deafening silence instantly filled the room.

Mu Zhi stared blankly into Master Lu’s eyes. She was not familiar with members of the Lu Family, so she had nothing to say.

For some reason, she could feel time ticking at her.

Everyone knew that Master Lu never went back to his words.

“Hahahahahaha, why do the humorous genes run so wildly in the Lu Family? I thought I was the most hilarious person in the family, little did I expect… Hahahahaha, I have nothing on Junnian.”

Lu Yunxi first broke the silence in the air with a burst of pretentiously loud laughter.

The awkwardness was seemingly alleviated for a little.

Mu Zhi was desperately hoping that Lu Junnian would go with Lu Yunxi’s flow and allow the topic to die down. Alas, with a stern expression, Lu Junnian did not spare a glance at Lu Yunxi, saying, “I wasn’t joking, Uncle Junnian.”

Upon finishing his words, he turned to Master Lu, “Grandpa, I’m serious, because… Mu Zhi was supposed to be mine in the first place!”

These words were even more astonishing.

Standing next to him, Mu Zhi was struck with nervousness and exasperation. His doubling down made her lose control.

She turned her eyes to Lu Junnian and sniggered.

The snigger was different from Lu Yunxi’s cackle. It was a scornful laugh.

“I am yours? Why haven’t I received the memo?”

Mu Zhi questioned him through gritted teeth and continued, “Am I an object in your eyes? Do you think you could win me as a trophy just because you saved someone’s life? Listen, I’m not sold to the Lu Family.”

Master Lu said nothing, though Mu Zhi never bothered to notice his expression at this moment.

All of her attention was diverted into spiting Lu Junnian.
