Chapter 143 -143 Little Dumpling Teases the Evil Stepmother

Inside and outside the door, both men were startled by Lu Xining’s decisive and straightforward rejection.

Yet she remained calm and continued, “Is it really a good thing for children when emotionless parents are forced to stay together?”

Lu Xining wanted to say, hadn’t Ji Muye’s parents’ lesson been enough?

But in the end, she swallowed those words back, not wanting to hurt the old man further.

“Even if Ji Muye and I split up, our love for our two children will not decrease by one bit.”

“Ji Chao and Ji Ze have already grown up; do you see any problems with how they are now?”

Having said her piece, Old Sir Ji couldn’t say much more, feeling only regret in his heart.

He thought of his son’s messed-up attitude towards relationships and his grandson’s slowness—it left a bitter taste he couldn’t quite describe.

Ji Muye leaned against the wall near the door, his features deepened by the dim lighting, his face brooding.

The room was filled with a heavy silence that flowed through the air.

Before Lu Xining came out, Ji Muye had already left for his private villa in the old family estate.

And just as she was about to go look for the three children, she discovered that something had happened.

The incident was triggered by…

Old Sir Ji was hosting guests in the upstairs lounge, and Mr. Ji was in charge of the reception matters.

Although he had been forced to retire, he was still the former head of the Ji Family and people in their circle would still show some respect, although there were not a few behind his back ridiculing him for his choices.

Standing next to Mr. Ji in a red dress, Zhang Yuzhi indeed looked quite the part of a new bride.

What she couldn’t accept the most was not having a wedding of her own.

Initially, she and Mr. Ji had secretly gotten their marriage certificate behind Old Sir Ji’s back, as if the very start had foreshadowed her next twenty-odd years of keeping a low profile.

Recently, Zhang Yuzhi went to the Shi’an Group to apologize to Ji Muye, but she wasn’t even allowed to enter the elevator.

Mr. Ji’s card was frozen and couldn’t make payments, leading him to call back home and scold her.

With no other options, Zhang Yuzhi transferred all the money from her card to Mr. Ji for emergency use, waiting for his card to be unfrozen to repay her, but no word came about it.

She just wanted to talk to him about this when Mr. Ji received a phone call.

He frowned, asked her to chat with the rich wives at the scene, and then hurriedly left the banquet, not even hearing Zhang Yuzhi calling out to him.

In the Jingzhou elite circles, business marriages among couples are the majority, but nevertheless, they were all legally married first wives, unlike someone like Zhang Yuzhi, who had risen from being the other woman, who they didn’t wish to converse with too much.

But there were some like Zhang Yuzhi in the circle.

Seeing her as Ji Muye’s stepmother, they still enthusiastically approached her, curious to inquire about the identities of Lu Xining and Lu Nuonuo.

Zhang Yuzhi sighed pretentiously and said, “Oh her, she’s the ex-wife whom my son Muye kicked out.”

“I didn’t want to mention these things, but… oh, this woman is just too much! Her previous divorce was actually because she was pregnant with another man’s child, which my son discovered.”

She took out her phone and opened a video saved from an email.

In the video, Lu Xining was moving between different card tables, wearing the bar’s uniform of a shirt and long pants, looking all the more charming under the bar lights due to her delicate features.

“Looking good is of no use when your personal life is messy—who knows what kind of diseases she might carry. Speaking of which, my two grandsons have been in poor health since they were little; who knows if it’s because of her.”

Zhang Yuzhi snorted coldly, continuing to spread rumors, “As for that little girl you saw, she’s the evidence of her past affair!”

Upon hearing this, everyone gasped.

The ladies’ circle loves gossip, especially that of the Ji Family, and they all pricked up their ears to hear more from Zhang Yuzhi.

Upon seeing that everyone’s attention had been drawn her way, Zhang Yuzhi suddenly had the illusion of being “the moon surrounded by stars.”

She pretended to sigh, opened her smartphone, and played a video she had received anonymously, captivating the attention of the rich ladies beside her.

Zhang Yuzhi had deliberately chosen a video with a peculiar dress code; in the lively bar, Lu Xining was weaving through men, wearing bunny ears on her head and women’s clothing that clung to her body.

Her pale, delicate waist was intermittently visible as she bent over to pour drinks; behind her, a man with sleazy eyes stared greedily at her waist, his hand creeping towards her lower back.

Just as his hand was about to touch her skin, the video abruptly stopped.

However, given Lu Xining’s attire in the video, the rich ladies assumed she must have been taken advantage of by men.

There might even have been more to the story.

“Who would have thought that out of all the choices, the Ji Family would select such a person to be the heir’s wife, no wonder she was divorced within five years.”

“One shouldn’t choose a wife who’s too pretty; they tend to have wandering thoughts.”

“Come to think of it, if she hadn’t given birth to two sons for the Ji Family, she might not have lasted five years, who could accept such a daughter-in-law?”

Nobody doubted the paternity of Ji Chao and Ji Ze, after all, the Ji Family would never let a grandson who wasn’t of their blood enter their home.

Speaking of Zhang Yuzhi, everybody knew about her affair that led to her social climbing, but they all kept quiet about it.

They were all cunning, just repressing their thoughts.

Seeing the disdainful expressions towards Lu Xining on everyone’s faces filled Zhang Yuzhi with unstoppable pride; this bitch had harmed the prosperity of her Zhang Family, she wouldn’t let her have good days in her hands!

Just at that moment, she saw Lu Nuonuo playing outside with the siblings Ji Chao and Ji Ze, a sinister idea flashing in her eyes.

Ji Chao, along with Ji Ze and Lu Nuonuo, was playing soccer on the lawn.

Little Dumpling was pantingly chasing after her two brothers, quickly getting up to continue the chase even if she fell on the grass.

When tired, she played by herself on the side.

Ji Chao and Ji Ze saw her sitting alone on the lawn sofa to rest and felt slightly relieved.

They continued playing soccer near her.

Zhang Yuzhi intentionally walked to a corner out of everyone’s sight and lured Lu Nuonuo with candy, “Little friend, do you want some candy?”

She held a large smiley-faced candy in her hand, much like a fairy-tale witch tempting Snow White with an apple, smiling maliciously.

Lu Nuonuo looked curiously at Zhang Yuzhi crouching there; she remembered having seen this grandmother before, and she wasn’t nice to her mother.

Seeing that Little Dumpling hadn’t moved, Zhang Yuzhi grew impatient.

In a while, Mr. Ji would return and see her absence from the banquet hall; he might get angry again; she needed to deal with the bitch’s daughter quickly.

But no matter how she tempted her, Little Dumpling just sat on the sofa, blinking her watery big eyes and watching Zhang Yuzhi’s performance.

Seeing that she didn’t speak, she pretended to hesitate, her eyes fixed on the candy in Zhang Yuzhi’s hand.

Whenever she showed this expression, Zhang Yuzhi’s eyes lit up, and she secretly planned, “As long as I have Lu Xining’s daughter in my control, wouldn’t I be able to manipulate that bitch easily?”

Lu Nuonuo: Why isn’t this grandmother talking anymore?

So, she stood up and walked a step or two closer to Zhang Yuzhi, sure enough hearing her ramble on.

Little Dumpling walked a little, and Zhang Yuzhi spoke rapidly; she walked some more and she spoke again.

When she was almost in front of Zhang Yuzhi, she darted back to the sofa and smiled at her.

Lu Nuonuo: This grandmother doesn’t seem very smart.

In the end, Zhang Yuzhi felt like she had been played by a child barely over a year old!
