Be Careful, Scum Dad! Mommy Is Back!

Chapter 17: Chapter 17: The Man I Trained Myself, Do You Like Him?

“Mama!”

Ji Chao chased after his sister to Lu Xining’s side, and Ji Ze also ran over.

She gave the two children some water to drink, noticed Ji Ze’s thirsty yet reluctant eyes, and handed him her own bottle of water.

Curious other families, upon hearing Ji Chao’s loud call of ‘Mama,’ looked at her with astonishment in their hearts.

“Is this the Ji Family’s secretly married ex-wife?”

“Is there a possibility that President Ji doesn’t bring his wife out to avoid others coveting her beauty?”

The crowd had a revelation.

If they had such a fairy-like beauty in their family, they too would be reluctant to let other men lay eyes on her.

Liu Xixi’s face stiffened, and her gaze at Lu Xining was like a poisoned arrow, wishing she could pierce her heart with thousands of arrows right there and then. To onlookers, she instantly put on a gentle and charming facade.

The adorable Lu Nuonuo.

She instantly became the darling of the children’s group as soon as she appeared.

Children’s affection is ever so simple and pure.

Seeing Lu Xining so beautiful and gentle, they also ran over and called her ‘Auntie,’ leaving Lu Xining momentarily stunned, but she returned their smiles.

“Thank you for playing with Nuonuo.”

“It’s getting late; we should go back for dinner now. Nuonuo, say goodbye to your brothers and sisters.”

The little guy waved to his new friends and dived into Lu Xining’s arms, asking for a hug.

Lu Xining lifted her daughter in her arms, took Ji Chao by one hand, who was pulling Ji Ze by the other, and the family of four walked towards the starting tent.

Just then,

Liu Xixi suddenly spoke up, her face filled with confusion and wariness toward her, “Miss Lu, where are you taking Aye’s children?”

Her tone was sweet but carried the authority of the Ji Family matriarch, as if she were accusing her of being a child kidnapper, drawing another round of attention.

Lu Xining ignored her and continued towards the tent with the children.

Liu Xixi wanted to follow, but her high heels dug into the grass again, causing her to fall to the ground.

Just having finished a phone call, Ji Muye happened to see this scene, his handsome brow slightly furrowed, and he gestured to a staff member standing by.

Someone promptly went over to help her up.

Not receiving the man’s sympathy, Liu Xixi felt disappointed.

She was about to put on a teary act when Ji Muye’s phone rang again.

Seeing his two sons obediently following Lu Xining, he continued with the call.

There was a problem with an overseas project.

Yan Dong had already led a team at the company to follow up on the project progress, and Ji Muye needed to return to the company. After hanging up, he went to pick up his sons.

Lu Xining saw his busy demeanor and knew it had to do with company affairs.

She looked at Ji Chao and Lu Nuonuo, who were clearly not yet done playing.

“Mr. Ji, since you’re busy with work, let the children stay and play for another day. Tomorrow, you can arrange for the driver to come pick them up.”

Ji Muye’s seeking gaze fell on Ji Chao’s face, who immediately expressed his desire to stay.

Even Ji Ze hesitantly said, “Dad, I want to stay with my brother.”

After saying this, he sneaked a glance at Lu Xining, to see if she was looking at him, and with a downcast expression, he thought: Why does she only care about my brother?

Staff helped Liu Xixi onto flat ground, where she weakly said, “Aye, my leg hurts…”

Ji Muye frowned slightly, “I’ll have someone take you to the hospital.”

Liu Xixi’s eyes reddened as she feebly asked, “Can’t you take me?”

Ji Muye: “No, there’s urgent work at the company.”

Hearing this, she immediately demonstrated her own gentle and considerate nature.

“Then you go ahead with your work first. Ji Chao and Ji Ze could stay with me at the Liu Family’s house tonight, and you can pick them up when you’re free.”

With a meaningful glance at Lu Xining, she continued, “My father has not seen you for a long time; he has been wanting to invite you over for dinner.”

Ji Chao shook his head, “No need, Aunt Liu, my brother and I will sleep with Mama, and the family’s driver will come to pick us up tomorrow.”

Once again rejected by Ji Chao, Liu Xixi clenched her fingers tightly, her gaze falling on the easier target, Ji Ze. Little did she know, at that moment, his attention was entirely on the new toy given by Ming Yuan, who taunted her with a provocative smile.

Ming Yuan could see it now.

Ji Chao clearly preferred the biological mother, Lu Xining, while Ji Ze might be slightly twisted, his passion for play was just too strong, easily distracted by new toys.

Children’s toys…

If she could gain two more handsome godsons, she could contract out all their toy needs.

The Ming Family had subsidiaries that collaborated with top toy brands, one phone call, and she could have as many as she wanted.

Lu Nuonuo nestled in her mother’s arms, rubbed her little belly, and said with childlike amusement, “Mommy, my stomach is singing.”

Lu Xining kissed her, “Okay, mommy will take you to eat.”

Ming Yuan, with a (future) godson in each hand, followed her towards the restaurant.

Ji Muye had gone to the company earlier to deal with work matters.

Liu Xixi held her facade until he left, then turned with a cold face, eyeing the cheerful family group in the nearby restaurant, a crazy thought roaring in her mind.

The restaurant’s restroom.

Lu Xining came out and ran into Liu Xixi, who was waiting for her with malicious intent, demanding she leave Ji Muye.

“My relationship with him ended long ago, instead of threatening me here, you’d be better off whispering in his ear to give me the custody of the children.”

“Lu Xining, stop pretending. Your deliberate appearance before the children is just a ruse to get back together with Aye because of the blood relations? Let me tell you, that’s impossible; everyone knows he truly cares for me!”

Lu Xining had intended to have a proper talk.

If Liu Xixi could truly influence Ji Muye and help her obtain custody of the children, she could put up with these remarks.

But it was clear Liu Xixi was here just to vent the emotions.

Her gaze immediately turned cold.

“If that’s what you believe, then there’s nothing more I can say.”

“Lu Xining, you stop right there!”

Liu Xixi, with her long manicured nails, reached for Lu Xining’s slender arm with force, but she turned and avoided, while Liu fell to the ground because of her high heels.

This time, she truly sprained her ankle.

Liu Xixi lashed out at her, “Lu Xining, do you know what Aye said about you? He said you disgusted him to the core, that the five years with you felt like a suffocating imprisonment!”

Lu Xining had always been good at reading people, far from a naive and sweet girl.

She knew exactly what mattered to a woman like Liu Xixi, and the words she spoke were mixed with truth and lies.

Wanting Ji Muye but unable to get over the hurdle that she was his first wife, Liu kept coming back to find catharsis.

Lu Xining approached her with a cold face.

The latter felt a surge of secret joy and quietly unlocked her phone, dialing Ji Muye’s number.

She was determined to show him Lu Xining’s disgusting true colors!

Lu Xining curled her lips, raising a cold sneer.

“Liu Xixi, Ji Muye’s first kiss was with me, his first night, his first marriage, and he became a father because of me. What do you think that means to him?”

Lu Xining looked at her flushed face, the smile at the corner of her mouth growing more radiant, “Do you know how awkward, how intense his first wedding night was, how long it lasted?”

“All of his skills were learned from me; take a guess, when you’re in his arms, is he thinking of you, or of his… ex-wife?”

Each word was a blade plunging straight into Liu Xixi’s heart.

Her chest heaved violently, the mere thought of the man she longed for sleeping with Lu Xining for five full years was driving her insane!

Since Lu Xining had spoken, she intended a fatal blow.

She shook her head in feigned disappointment.

“What a pity, such a Ji Muye, I’m the only one who has seen him like that, you’ll never get the chance in this lifetime.”

Liu Xixi glared at her, while the other beamed a smile, looking down upon her with disdain, reveling in the jealousy and hatred in the depths of her eyes.

“Do you like the man I trained with my own hands?”

On the other side of the phone.

The Shi’an Group conference room was utterly silent at that moment.
