Be Careful, Scum Dad! Mommy Is Back!

Chapter 49: Chapter 49 The Reason Ji Muye Hates Her!

#Mrs. President of Shi’an Group Cheats Within Marriage#

#Ji Muye’s Ex-Wife Secretly Meets Young Lover#

#Ji Muye Wears the Green Hat#

These three trending search entries froze everyone in their tracks.

They looked at one another, not daring to speak.

When Yan Dong knocked and entered, Ji Muye was patiently feeding Lu Nuonuo, while Little Dumpling waved at him enthusiastically.

Noticing the anxiety and tension on the secretary’s face, the man’s profound eyes held a probing look.

The latter immediately handed him a tablet.

A shadow hung over his dark eyes in an instant, and Ji Muye tightened his lips, his face grim as he watched the mute video playing on the computer.

This video…

He had seen it four years ago.

It was CCTV footage from a hotel corridor.

Lu Xining entering and leaving a room, with one day and one night in between, her clothes changed when she left.

Her complexion was haggard, her steps unsteady.

Hotel, change of clothes, weakness… These elements combined easily led one to imagine Lu Xining’s “infidelity during marriage.”

A moment of daze crossed Ji Muye’s eyes.

When their two children were one year old, Lu Xining used to go out for two days each month, rain or shine, a habit that lasted three months.

Four years ago, upon seeing the video for the first time, Ji Muye had Yan Dong completely block any news related to Lu Xining to prevent her disadvantage.

Unexpectedly, it appeared again today.

The video had a slight difference from the one he saw before: it now included the figure of a man!

He wore a duckbill cap, sunglasses, and a mask, and was tall and straight, deliberately avoiding the camera’s angle, only capturing the top of his head.

Darkness swirled in Ji Muye’s eyes, hiding endless depths.

Little Dumpling sat in her child seat observing him, puzzled as to why he stopped feeding her, and she reached for the spoon, ready to eat on her own.

The man’s drifting thoughts were pulled back by the little one.

Ji Muye’s eyes were incredibly deep, “Take it down immediately.”

Yan Dong immediately understood his intent and couldn’t help but sigh with relief after leaving the office.

On the other side.

Lu Xining had just come out of the operating room.

After a night of busyness, the patient she was attending to deteriorated suddenly early this morning, and the medical team had to engage in intense life-saving efforts to barely pull the person back from the brink.

After a night and day of surgery, Lu Xining’s eyes were filled with fatigue.

At the entrance, her assistant immediately came up to support her, opening her mouth several times only to swallow her words.

After Lu Xining washed up and came out, her assistant hurriedly followed her.

The two headed towards the dining area together.

Having not eaten for a long time, Lu Xining felt her stomach was unbearably empty.

The assistant kept stealing glances at her, then averting her gaze.

After finishing the meal, Lu Xining took the initiative, “What is it that you keep hesitating to say? I’ve seen you try to speak at least ten times.”

Her assistant hurriedly handed her the news on the internet.

After reading, Lu Xining’s gaze turned icy.

“I’ll handle this matter, you focus on managing the laboratory.”

“Okay, Professor Lu.”

Lu Xining pulled out her phone and dialed someone she hadn’t contacted since four years ago.

“Secretary Cheng, I need Old Xi.”

The person on the other end seemed to have anticipated her call.

“Miss Lu, rest assured, Old Xi is already aware and has arranged for someone to handle it. Don’t worry, such things will never happen again.”

Secretary Cheng’s voice was solemn.

The hotel’s CCTV footage was supposed to have been completely destroyed four years ago, unknown to those who secretly collected it.

Old Xi was very angry about the incident, and the consequences were severe.

Lu Xining exchanged a few pleasantries and then hung up the phone, the matter from four years ago was entirely managed by Secretary Cheng and his team, which she hadn’t paid attention to.

Unexpectedly, four years later.

A boomerang gun came back to point at her.

Compared to being rumored as “cheating within marriage,” she was more annoyed about the exposure of her secret marriage with Ji Muye.

From now on.

She would carry an additional label of “Ji Muye’s ex-wife.”

Lu Xining went back to her room to catch up on some sleep.

Since she was already at the lab, she decided to assess the physical conditions of Song Henian and that naive girl, to possibly refine their treatment plans soon.

Yan Dong was filled with anxiety.

Just as he contacted the PR team to handle the trending searches, in an instant, all information about Lu Xining and Ji Muye had disappeared from the internet!

Not just this news, but Lu Xining’s name was unsearchable across the entire web.

Her name seemed like a forbidden word!

A grave expression formed in Yan Dong’s eyes—the release of the video until now totaled less than half an hour.

Even for Shi’an Group, such efficiency seemed unlikely.

The person behind this…

He relayed all these details to Ji Muye accurately.

The man’s cool gaze shifted from the message on the screen to Little Dumpling, who was sitting on the carpet playing with building blocks, growing more curious about Lu Xining’s mysterious identity.

A bankrupt orphan, yet she had such capabilities.

Ji Muye felt an indescribable gloom in his heart, but even more so, a curiosity about her as a person.

Little Dumpling got tired of playing and crawled back into Ji Muye’s arms.

This time, Lu Nuonuo wasn’t sleepy and, with bright eyes, watched the laptop in front of her, then looked back at Ji Muye, pointing at the screen.

Lu Nuonuo, “Look, sheep.”

Ji Muye didn’t know much about the child.

He patiently asked which “sheep” she was referring to, and Lu Nuonuo explained vividly with gestures and expressions about the animated sheep.

Ji Muye searched his laptop for all animations related to sheep, playing each one as the little one in his arms shook her head at each.

Having no other option, he had to call Yan Dong to come and inquire quickly.

The childless secretary was even less aware of animations about sheep.

He asked employees who had kids at home and finally found the animation about sheep that Lu Nuonuo was talking about.

Then, this scene unfolded.

Lu Nuonuo sat in Ji Muye’s lap, holding her freshly prepared milk bottle, watching the sheep animation on the laptop on the desk.

And Ji Muye?

One hand held Lu Nuonuo to prevent the little girl from falling, while the other calmly handled his work.

This scene was reminiscent of a doting dad with his daughter.

Yan Dong quickly shook the foam in his head, placed a new document needing a signature on the desk, and hurriedly exited.

Just as he turned around, Lu Xining’s call came in.

After seeing two patients and discussing different treatment plans with the medical team, she returned to the resting room and inevitably thought of her son and daughter.

The twins were at school and currently unreachable.

First, she called the housekeeper at home to inquire about her daughter, but was told that Little Dumpling was taken to the office by Ji Muye.

Lu Xining was full of questions.

Ji Muye had never allowed his own sons, who were very clingy to him, to visit the office, and now he had “abducted” her daughter to the office?

Had this man taken the wrong medicine today?

Worried, Lu Xining immediately had her assistant arrange a flight back to Jingzhou.

She wasn’t afraid that Ji Muye would do anything to Little Dumpling, as the man’s upbringing and character wouldn’t allow it.

But Liu Xixi, that woman, might be a different story.

Sure enough, learning that Ji Muye had taken Lu Xining’s daughter to the office, Liu Xixi’s face turned dark and the venom in her eyes was nearly spilling over.

The Liu Family was bankrupt, family members detained for interrogation, the man she loved rejected her confession, and the anonymously released video was pulled offline in a blink—an all accounts involved were blocked!

One incident after another drove her sanity to the edge.

At this moment, Liu Xixi raised a sinister smile, “Lu Xining, you forced my hand!”

My son or my daughter, I want to see how you choose!

–

Little Dumpling had a tough day following Ji Muye at work.

On the way to pick up her brothers, she nestled in Ji Muye’s arms and fell asleep again, clutching his shirt for a sense of security.

The man gazed down at the little figure in his arms, his eyes filled with complex emotions.

She was like a mini-version of Lu Xining.

Her skin was pale, her features delicate; she would undoubtedly grow up to be as beautiful as her mother.

Ji Muye himself couldn’t quite explain the natural affinity he felt with this child.

From the first moment he saw her, he was very fond of Little Dumpling.

The car drove all the way to the kindergarten.

“Mr. Ji, Ji Chao and Ji Ze were picked up by their mother a while ago,”

Ji Muye’s brow furrowed, his instincts telling him something was amiss.

“The kids’ mother is on a business trip; she hasn’t been in Jingzhou for the past few days.”

The teacher instantly felt a knot in her stomach, knowing the man before her and the implications if something were to happen to the children…

She couldn’t bear to think of the consequences she’d face.

Ji Muye’s face grew stern, “Check the surveillance!”

The teacher quickly took Ji Muye to the surveillance room, and they soon obtained the day’s footage of the school dismissal.

Ji Chao and Ji Ze couldn’t wait to leave the classroom after school.

They looked around at the gate, spotted a familiar car from the Lu Family, and happily called out “mom.”

A woman in the back seat of the car rolled down her window just enough to reveal her familiar hairstyle and her relatively high-set eyes.

The person in the car waved at them.

Ji Chao and Ji Ze sprinted forward, opened the car door, and got in.

The car quickly left the range of the school’s surveillance.

The license plate, indeed, matched the one Lu Xining often used to pick up the kids, but there was no guarantee it wasn’t a cloned registration.

After viewing the footage, Ji Muye’s complexion turned terribly grim.

The young teacher standing beside him couldn’t help but tremble in her lower legs, “Mr. Ji, this incident is…”

As a teacher, allowing the children to get into the car without confirming the identity of the person inside, indeed bore some responsibility.

Ji Muye instructed Yan Dong to facilitate the retrieval of neighboring road surveillance, quickly tracking the black car driving in the opposite direction of the Lu Family’s usual route.

It stopped at a deserted factory.

Lastly, they saw two kids carried into the factory by a burly man, one over each shoulder.

The black car was last seen near the sea.

Every trace had been erased.
