Falling for the Contract Bride

Chapter 258 It Is All My Fault

The weather was getting cold now and cold wind blasted into the car the moment the window was lowered. Mu Zhi shuddered and subconsciously wrapped her clothes tighter around her.

From his side of the car, Lu Jinye pressed the button for the windows to be raised.

Mu Zhi looked at Lu Jinye, “What are you doing?”

Lu Jinye ignored her. His face was stern as he turned the steering wheel. Mu Zhi looked at him in surprised and repeated the question, “Lu Jinye, what are you doing?”

This time Lu Jinye looked at her and answered, “Going to the hospital.”

Mu Zhi looked at him stunned. She could not believe what he had just said.

“Lu Jinye! If we do the test, there is a 90% chance that the news that we are siblings would be leaked!”

Lu Jinye snorted.

Mu Zhi took notice of Lu Jinye’s continued acceleration towards the direction of the hospital and said firmly, “I’m not going.”

“Mu Zhi, there’s no use in escaping,” Lu Jinye glanced at her.

Mu Zhi rubbed her hands anxiously and looked Lu Jinye, “Lu Jinye, I admit that I am escaping. But that’s better than this coming back to slap me in the face.”

“You know, this situation affects everyone. No one wants to face this.”

“Do you understand what this is? This is the skeleton in our closet!”

“If this were to be announced, it would be a slap to all our faces. To my dead mother’s, my grandfather’s, and your mother’s.”

“You can let go of the hate. You can overlook the fact that my mother is the cause of you mother’s death. But can your mother’s family accept this?”

Mu Zhi said all this in one breath, but Lu Jinye just stared at her with a frown on his face.

Lu Jinye did not respond to everything that she said. He didn’t explain or argue, instead, he focused on driving.
