Falling for the Contract Bride

Chapter 314 Another Person That Exists

Lu Jinye couldn’t be more familiar with the Xie Residence. And Mu Zhi’s answer confirmed that she was indeed Xie Xiu’s ‘wife’. Mu Zhi had been with Xie Xiu all this while!

Finally knowing what happened, Lu Jinye fists clenched. He wanted to tear Xie Xiu apart. These years, Xie Xiu and Lu Jinye didn’t exactly have a relationship. But Xie Xiu’s ambition for Lu Jinye’s position in City A was obvious.

They were clashing against each other as business competitors.

Lu Jinye had been in the business for many years and had never met an opponent as persistent as him.

To people in the industry, Xie Xiu always seemed calm and unflappable, but underneath all that was a raging storm.

Knowing this, Lu Jinye did not dare act rashly.

It wasn’t because he was scared, but… He was worried that any threatening move he made might result in Xie Xiu moving Mu Zhi.

Lu Jinye kept his cool and said calmly, “Just a normal business partner.”

“So you know each other.”

“That’s right! You guys run in the same circles, so it’s no surprise that you know each other.” Mu Zhi wondered out loud.

Mu Zhi felt that they had spoken enough and said, “I’m going in then.”

She turned and walked into the courtyard.

Lu Jinye did not stop her. He bid farewell and quickly returned home.
