Falling for the Contract Bride

Chapter 228 Young Folks These Days…

Mu Zhi would prefer to be charged at, slapped across the face, and yelled at her – ‘Bitch, how dare you steal my man?!’

That was what Xiao Qingqing did when she mistook Mu Zhi for seducing Lu Jinye.

Mu Zhi could accept being jeered at, but she could not take Zhu Sha’s doleful sobbing.

Mu Zhi bit her lower lip, so flustered that she could hardly speak.

Anything she said would sound insincere to Zhu Sha, and any form of comforting words would not affect Zhu Sha. After all, they were love rivals.

All Mu Zhi could do was stand rooted to the ground. After some moment, Zhu Sha suddenly yelled at Mu Zhi, seemingly to vent her frustration, “Mu Zhi, what’s so good about you that you could get all these?! What gives you the right?”

“Do you have any idea how talented Lu Junnian is in the medicine field? Do you know that you’ve destroyed him?”

Mu Zhi lowered her eyes, allowing Zhu Sha to bellow at her without fighting back. It took Mu Zhi a while before she raised her head to ask, “What do you think I could do? Am I supposed to tell Lu Junnian that he’s wasting his time? Do you think he’ll listen?”

Mu Zhi went straight to the point with composure and poise.

Zhu Sha did not expect that Mu Zhi would say this to her. She looked at Mu Zhi in astonishment, then shook her head.

Mu Zhi heaved a lamenting sigh. “Zhu Sha, I hope you can understand that I’ve made it very clear. The person I love is Lu Jinye. Whatever we had is in the past. Regardless of how hard Lu Junnian tries, there won’t be a future between the two of us. I’ve told him multiple times, but to no avail. I don’t even know what to say anymore.”

Mu Zhi paused in between her words, then continued, “So, I hope you could stop blaming me from now on. You should spend some time to think about how you could make Lu Junnian fall for you and how you could change him.”

After saying these, Mu Zhi sized up Zhu Sha.

She remembered the first time she met Zhu Sha. Just like the cinnabar, Zhu Sha was bright and catching to the eyes. Her vibrant, crimson red outfit gave her an energetic demeanor.

In contrast, Zhu Sha’s current outfit was dull. The apathetic moonlight further magnified her bleakness.
