Be Careful, Scum Dad! Mommy Is Back!-Chapter 137 - Ningning Can We Meet

Chapter 137: Chapter 137 Ningning, Can We Meet? Chapter 137 -137 Ningning, Can We Meet? Atop the Shi’an Group building, one of the best places in Jingzhou to watch the sunset.

At this moment, the glow of twilight spread across the sky behind Ji Muye, gilding him with a mysterious and splendid aura.

Lu Xining’s gaze fell upon the clouds tinged orange-red and continued, “Even if you kneel now and admit your wrongs, telling me I’m in your heart, I won’t feel any joy.”

“Reality is not a novel, and you and I have been completely over since two years ago. Our current relationship is… co-parents. I hope you can soberly recognize that fact.”

“When you can discuss our child’s custody rationally, then we can talk.”

Now, Lu Xining didn’t need any affection from Ji Muye.

She smashed the glass door with an extinguisher, leaving behind only her indifferent silhouette as she walked towards the elevator lobby.

The blind spot around the corner.

A woman in a red dress, her pupils shimmering with resentment, curved her lips into a sinister and venomous smile in the unobserved corner, sending shivers down one’s spine.

Seeing the silent figure of Ji Muye standing there, the woman masked her emotions and approached him with feather-light steps, saying in a voice soft as water, “President Ji, perhaps Miss Lu is just in a bad mood today.”

A strong scent of perfume wafted over, and Ji Muye frowned and walked to the other side.

“Secretary Shen, clean this up.”

Shen Molin was another secretary of Ji Muye’s.

Yan Dong was responsible for external affairs, accompanying guests at business trips and banquets, while she mainly managed internal company communications.

The person who suggested using Lu Xining’s favorite roses to smooth things over was also her.

The rooftop regained its silence.

Shen Molin, watching her own reflection on the broken glass door, smiled smugly.

Attempting such dramatic gestures when the ex-wife hadn’t forgiven him would only push the woman further away.

And that was precisely the outcome she wanted.

Shen Molin recalled Liu Xixi, that fool, and a disdainful sneer crept across her lips.

When Ji Muye had repeatedly instructed to thoroughly investigate Liu Xixi, it was she who altered the final investigation data, shielding her from potential exposure. And still, that idiot proved useless.

Since Liu Xixi was unreliable, she had to step into the arena herself.

Lu Xining returned to the underground parking lot and immediately received a message from her lawyer.

He succinctly conveyed Yan Dong’s actions and requests, adding that if she didn’t respond within five minutes, he would call the police.

Lu Xining sent him a message and then drove home.

By the time she arrived home, it was late.

Ji Chao and Ji Ze had school the next day and were already asleep.

Little Dumpling had been lulled to sleep by Jing Zheng.

Downstairs in the living room, Lu Nuonuo’s favorite cartoon was still playing on the TV. Jing Zheng, wearing a robe, lay on the sofa watching patiently, trying to bridge the gap with Little Dumpling.

At the sound of the door, he instantly got up, “Sister Ning, you’re finally back.”

Jing Zheng asked how her talk with Ji Muye went, and Lu Xining shook her head.

He clenched his fists and said angrily, “I knew that Ji guy was up to no good. Next time I see him, I’ll make sure to teach him a lesson!”

Lu Xining pierced the truth, “Your kindness is appreciated, but you can’t beat him; you’d only get beaten up.”

Jing Zheng: “…” That stung a little.

The servants had already returned to their lodgings to rest, but the kitchen was still warm, with a late-night snack prepared for Lu Xining.

Jing Zheng took the initiative to serve it to her and sat at the dining table watching her eat.

After receiving several glares from Lu Xining for being too noisy, he saw the familiar Rolls-Royce outside the yard and leaned in to whisper, “Sister Ning, my dear sister, look outside.”

Lu Xining turned her head to look out the living room’s French windows, and the man from last night had come again.

Jing Zheng seized the moment to add, “I heard he plans to set up a branch office here in Jingzhou this time.”

Port City was the Zhou Family’s stronghold, where they had absolute power.

But if he came to Jingzhou…

Even if Jing Zheng didn’t like Ji Muye, he had to acknowledge his talent in business.

In Jingzhou’s business world, the sky bore the name Ji.

“Sister Ning, have you decided not to invite him in for a sit?”

“That Ji Muye, unlike him, is cold as ice. If you were with him, I believe you would definitely be happy.”

Lu Xining didn’t reply to Jing Zheng’s words.

Relying on others for a sense of happiness meant that one’s emotions would always be controlled by someone else, but she preferred to be in control herself.

“I now have three children, there’s you and those dear to me in the lab. I’m already quite happy.”

Her words made Jing Zheng blush, and a warm current filled his heart.

Touched, he declared, “I’ve decided! I won’t call you Sister Ning anymore; you’re my real sister!”

Jing Zheng, “Sister——”

Lu Xining pushed away Jing Zheng’s face as he leaned in, acting like a three-year-old child despite being in his twenties, which was no wonder Lu Nuonuo liked this uncle the most.

“Lu Jingzheng, from now on, don’t compete with Nuonuo for lollipops.”

“…”

After dinner, Lu Xining returned to the master bedroom to rest.

Just like last night, she opened the curtains. A barely noticeable gap allowed her to clearly see the man under the streetlight.

She remembered the year she graduated from junior high, when her grandmother was gravely ill.

Before passing away, she entrusted Lu Xining to an old friend who had married into the Zhou family, the wealthiest in Port City.

And she had lived with the Zhou family for a full three years.

The man downstairs was none other than the only son of the wealthiest Zhou family of Port City—Zhou Jiawang.

On the stock market, he possessed unparalleled and unique investment insights, once creating a financial legend overnight.

He was known in the finance sector as: the modern-day God of Stocks.

During his senior year of high school, he excitedly talked to her about his ideal university abroad, wanting to go study there together.

But in the end, she returned to her hometown to take the college entrance exams and silently ended up at Jingzhou A University.

After the exams, she found a part-time job to earn living expenses.

She didn’t spend a penny of the money the Zhou family gave her, including all the gifts Zhou Jiawang had given her, which she left in the bedroom she occupied at the Zhou residence.

Later, in her four years at university, she spent the time either studying or working part-time jobs.

On graduation day, not only did she complete her studies with excellent grades, but she also paid back all the tuition the Zhou family provided for those three years and the living expenses from her time staying with them.

At that moment, she genuinely felt free from obligations, light as a feather.

Zhou Jiawang seemed to know she was watching.

He took out his phone, tapped away, and turned it sideways, scrolling a message.

[Ningning, can we meet?]

Lu Xining closed the gap in the curtains and went back to bed, falling asleep to the scent of her daughter’s milk powder.

Downstairs, the night air of autumn was slightly chilly.

Zhou Jiawang slowly put down his phone. Although he couldn’t see anything from upstairs, he felt she had been watching just a moment ago.

By now, she must be resting, right?

He remembered seven years ago, the day Lu Xining married Ji Muye. He had watched from a hidden spot.

The Ji family had booked the entire hotel, and he managed to get in by pulling some strings and dressing as a waiter at the wedding venue.

Lu Xining, long without family, hadn’t invited any friends either.

At the banquet, only a few important tables of the Ji family’s close friends and relatives were present, and she looked very calm, her smile to the guests quite charming.

Zhou Jiawang had never felt so heartbroken for Lu Xining as he did at that moment.

Given the Ji family’s standing in Jingzhou, she should have had a grand wedding.

He couldn’t understand why Lu Xining would so humble herself, just as he couldn’t comprehend why, in her senior year of high school, she suddenly returned to the mainland to take the college entrance exams and refused to go abroad with him.

At that moment, a message popped up on his phone.

He looked down and to his surprise, it was a message from Ji Muye.
