Falling for the Contract Bride

Chapter 245 Stopping the Wedding

Mu Xianyong was conflicted. He had always been working for Xie Xiu.

However, now that he was assigned under Xiao Qingqing, he was supposed to take orders from her, and it was not fitting to second-guess her instructions.

Thus, Mu Xianyong was engrossed in his thoughts as he smoked a cigarette, sitting languidly on the swing in his yard. In the end, he decided to comply with Xiao Qingqing’s orders.

He was hired entirely to inflict damage upon Mu Zhi and Lu Jinye in the first place, to ruin their wedding.

He was born for this character. Since Mr. Xie assigned him to Xiao Qingqing, he must not make reckless decisions.

So! He must be obedient!

Mu Xianyong stood up and returned to his lounge when he was done with the cigarette. Then, he lifted his phone to make a phone call.

It was a peaceful night. Master Lu had not gone to bed.

He was reading in the study room when the phone downstairs went off. Master Lu ordered the butler to answer it. When the butler did, his eyes turned dead and lifeless.

Then, he promptly hung up the call.

The butler did not inform Master Lu of what he heard on the phone.

After washing up, Master Lu was getting ready to go to bed when the phone rang once again. Master Lu asked the butler with a scowl, “What was the earlier phone call about?”

The butler glanced at Master Lu and stammered, “N-nothing.”

“Are you sure? Who was it?”

“A drunk, he called the wrong number.” Said the butler.

Master Lu stared at the butler with his wrinkly eyes and soul-piercing gaze. It was evident that Master Lu was not convinced.

But the butler stood stiffly. Despite Master Lu’s intimidating stare, he insisted, “Trust me, when have I ever lied throughout all these years working for you?”

Master Lu studied the butler from head to toe before turning his face away.
