Be Careful, Scum Dad! Mommy Is Back!
Chapter 242 - Chapter 242 Chapter 242 Misunderstanding

Chapter 242: Chapter 242 Misunderstanding Chapter 242: Chapter 242 Misunderstanding The curtain in the living room next door was open.

You could clearly see there was no one on the balcony, which is why Shang Yueling didn’t slide open the balcony door.

She also didn’t know about the special design of the Xiangxie Hotel’s balcony, and after searching the room for quite some time and not finding Shang Lvxing, she had almost given up. But as she was about to leave, she overheard a voice from next door and immediately pushed the balcony door open.

Shang Yueling looked on in sorrow, her voice filled with accusation, “Brother, to avoid me, could you really resort to doing such a thing?”

“What am I doing wrong? Why are you always avoiding me? The paternity test already proved that I am Dad’s daughter, why do you still not believe me?”

The girl’s crying voice came from across.

Lu Xining was just about to go back to her bedroom when she heard knocking sounds from the hallway once again.

“Xining, it’s me.”

She recognized the voice as Ji Muye’s.

Ji Muye had heard Shang Yueling knocking and making phone calls earlier, but as it didn’t concern him, he never spent a bit more concern than necessary on matters unrelated to him.

From the moment Shang Yueling went to Lu Xining’s door to speak, things became different, and Ji Muye had someone keep an eye on her.

Ji Muye’s gaze was deep: “My son has something to say to you.”

He had hardly finished speaking when the door in front of him immediately opened.

Ji Muye: “…”

The difference in treatment was too obvious.

Hearing it had to do with the child, Lu Xining came quickly to the door to ask what was the matter.

Ji Muye picked up the phone on hand and handed it to her.

The phone screen was still displaying a video call, but Ji Ze on the other end was already fighting sleep, his eyes stubbornly fixed on the camera.

The moment he saw her, he immediately spoke up: “Mom, I miss you and my sister so much. When are you coming back? I’ll come pick you up with my brother!”

The coldness in Lu Xining’s face softened, she turned away and walked to a quiet corner to talk to Ji Ze.

Seeing that his eyelids were about to close.

Lu Xining reminded him, “Go to sleep now, mommy and your sister will come back tomorrow, then we’ll meet and go out to eat together.”

Hearing her response, Ji Ze nodded.

Lu Xining turned to hand the phone back to Ji Muye but saw that he had already walked to the living room French window and pulled open the curtain with force.

Unexpectedly…

Shang Lvxing was still out there on the balcony.

“Who is staying in that room? Do you have another woman outside? Brother, don’t forget the oath you swore in front of Dad’s sickbed!”

Father Shang’s power, whether in Beicheng or the entire northern region, was immeasurable.

And Shang Yueling, who had been acknowledged back into the family, though she had only experienced the lifestyle of Shang Family’s young lady for a few months so far, had already felt the formidable force of power.

“Brother, it’s useless, no one dares to provoke our father. To offend me is to offend father, and no matter who it is, they won’t survive…”

Huh???

Seeing Ji Muye coming out from the room, Shang Yueling stopped speaking abruptly, her eyes widening in disbelief.

…A man?

No! A man!

Lu Xining didn’t expect Ji Muye to directly open the French window and step out.

She could even hear from inside the house the sound of Shang Yueling’s shocked gasp from the balcony next door: “You… the closet…”

Today, the weather was beautiful during the day, and the night sky was filled with stars, with the bright moon hanging high, and the sky overhead was a saturated night blue.

Lu Xining looked at Shang Lvxing and then at Ji Muye.

She had to admit, the two perfectly handsome men with the equal commanding presence, standing together, were indeed a spectacular sight.

Ji Muye, having heard the noise from Lu Xining’s room earlier, and thinking of the hotel balcony’s special feature, was worried that someone might have malign intentions.

Especially when he opened the curtain and saw Shang Lvxing leaning against the balcony railing, the way the other man looked inside the house made him very uncomfortable.

Ji Muye’s chilly gaze deepened, he opened the balcony door to step out, and was just about to speak when he heard Shang Yueling’s voice, full of surprise.

And just at that moment!

Shang Lvxing simply uttered, “Hmm.”

Under the starry night sky, Ji Muye felt a strong sense of revulsion.

The sound of a door closing came from inside the house.

Ji Muye turned back only to find no sign of Lu Xining; his phone was lying on the living room coffee table.

Click, he heard the sound of a bedroom door locking.

Ji Muye: “…”

Since things had progressed to this point, Shang Lvxing was not in a hurry to leave.

He even started a conversation with Ji Muye about follow-up collaborations; this composure broke down Shang Yueling on the other side.

No businessman would turn against his interests.

Seeing the two men sitting casually in the living room chairs, discussing work, Shang Yueling had put a lot of effort into building this situation here.

Shang Yueling: “I’ll tell Father!”

Mid-conversation with Ji Muye, Shang Lvxing: “…As you wish.”

Upon hearing from his subordinates that Shang Yueling had already left the hotel and couldn’t wait to get her to the airport, Shang Lvxing stopped the conversation.

He made an apology to Ji Muye.

Ji Muye’s voice was icy: “You’ve insulted not me.”

He warned Shang Lvxing, “There’s no next time.”

Shang Lvxing’s gaze fell on the master bedroom door inside the house.

Hearing Ji Muye’s words tinged with coldness, he looked squarely into his eyes, a slight smile on his lips: “Mr. Ji, what happened between her and me was ordained by heaven.”

From the moment Shang Lvxing appeared by Lu Xining’s side, Ji Muye had been paying attention to him.

He obviously knew what he had been investigating recently.

Though Shang Lvxing hadn’t said a thing about that information, Ji Muye understood what he meant; he was doubting Lu Xining’s identity.

Ji Muye coldly stated, “She is my wife.”

Shang Lvxing’s gaze darkened, “Oh? Did Mr. Ji eat the divorce papers? Can’t distinguish between ex-wife and wife?”

“If not for the accident that year, she would have been…”

Ji Muye did not recognize his words as true.

Two equally cold men, with similar characters and abilities, would have been the same wavelength friends if not for all these complications.

Ji Muye scoffed, “There are no such should-haves. The Shang Family can’t even protect their own mistress, what face do they have to acknowledge a daughter?”

“As for my matters with her, they are none of Mr. Shang’s concern.”

“Besides, you are the Shang Family’s son-in-law, not of the Lu Family; some distinctions do need to be made.”

On the balcony, the two men faced off against each other, neither giving in, their eyes fraught with tension.

At this time, Lu Xining had already gone to bed with her daughter, unaware of the tense atmosphere between Ji Muye and Shang Lvxing.

The distance between the two balconies was not far.

Shang Lvxing, parting on bad terms, crossed back to the balcony next door.

And Ji Muye returning inside picked up his phone, the screen came alive, and he saw the message his younger son had sent him.

[Ji Ze: Dad, I said everything you told me to. Remember to bring me my favorite toy car.]

The message showed as read.

…Lu Xining had seen it.

Holding the phone and walking to the door, Ji Muye held the doorknob, paused for a moment, then shut the door.

He went back to the living room, lying down on the sofa.
