Falling for the Contract Bride

Chapter 316 She Was Your Lover

Mu Zhi choked. In the water, nothing felt real. She watched Jian Xiaoning approach her. She could still remember that the last time she met Jian Xiaoning wasn’t pleasant, but now Mu Zhi felt a sense of familiarity towards her.

She couldn’t remember where she had met her before! Jian Xiaoning pulled Mu Zhi up the surface, and she could finally breathe in fresh air. She looked at Jian Xiaoning.

Jian Xiaoning helped Mu Zhi into her room and slipped a photo into her pocket.

Mu Zhi did not notice. When they reached her room, Mu Zhi thanked Jian Xiaoning and quickly entered her room. As she was changing, she felt a headache coming on. She changed out of her wet clothes and left only to notice that Jian Xiaoning was gone.

Mu Zhi had people search for Jian Xiaoning, but no one could find her. Mu Zhi assumed that she may have some other commitments and left. Mu Zhi did not pursue the matter. She returned to the room and stayed there for the rest of the night.

When Mu Zhi returned, a maid was cleaning her room and picked up Mu Zhi’s wet clothes to wash.

At first, Mu Zhi did not mind.

The servant left with her clothes but soon returned. She handed the contents of the pocket to Mu Zhi and said, “Madam, this is…”

Mu Zhi stared at the photo in her hand in surprise and took it.

“It’s fine. Go back to work.” Mu Zhi quickly said.

The maid obeyed without a second word.

While Mu Zhi stared at the photo in silence.

If someone had told her that the person in the photo had no relations to her, she wouldn’t have believed them.

The person in the photo was wearing clothes that hinted that she was twenty to thirty years older than Mu Zhi.

Moreover, her facial features were extraordinarily similar to Mu Zhi’s. Mu Zhi looked for any sign that the photo was fake, but couldn’t find any.

Mu Zhi brought the photo to the mirror and stared at her reflection and the photo alternately…
