Chapter 296: Chapter 296: Are You Willing to Leave Daddy?

At the critical moment!

Ji Muye quickly hugged the two closest sons in front of him.

Lu Xining then protected her daughter, “Were you scared? Mommy’s here, don’t be afraid, don’t be afraid.”

While comforting Little Dumpling in her arms, she turned her head to check on her two sons, “Xiao Chao, Xiao Ze, are you both okay?”

Ji Chao and Ji Ze both replied that they were okay at the same time,

thankfully everyone had their seatbelts fastened, and there was no life-threatening danger.

Ji Muye looked grimly at the front of the car.

At this moment, the partition had been lowered, and he could clearly see the scene in front of the car, where an elderly lady with white hair lay sprawled in front.

The driver hurriedly said, “President Ji, she suddenly darted out from the bushes beside us, charging straight at our car.”

Had the driver not reacted quickly enough just now, that old lady might have become a flying figure in the air.

Due to the airport overpass entrance undergoing maintenance, there was a short section that required traveling on the national highway.

And there were no villages nearby where people lived, so Ji Muye didn’t care how this old lady had suddenly dashed out from the bushes so quickly, whether she was attempting to scam them or was mentally unwell.

“Just call the police,” he said, his voice stopping abruptly upon seeing the old lady raise her head.

That face looked exactly like Lu Xining’s deceased grandmother!

Ji Muye had seen Grandma Lu’s photo and recognized the face of the old lady in front of him instantly, his cold gaze intensified under his messy hair.

He sharply sensed a scheme or conspiracy approaching them.

At this point, the bodyguards following them immediately arranged for someone to pull the old lady aside.

She did not struggle, just stared with a pair of cryptic and inexplicable eyes, fixated on Lu Xining inside the car.

Ji Muye’s handsome brows furrowed slightly as he immediately raised the partition in front of him again.

But Lu Xining had already seen the face of the old woman in front of the car, which indeed looked exactly like her deceased grandmother.

However, she did not believe the person in front of her could be her grandmother, who had passed away over a decade ago.

Because it was she who witnessed her grandmother’s cremation firsthand, even if she were to rise from the dead, it could only be as a gust of flying ashes.

The driver parked the car by the roadside, waiting for the police to handle the situation.

Ji Muye then arranged another car to send Lu Xining and the three children home first while he stayed behind to have a talk with the old lady.

“Who sent you here?”

If it was just a scam, she couldn’t have possibly targeted their car by chance, especially not with a face identical to Lu Xining’s grandmother.

It gave one a chilling sensation in broad daylight.

But to his surprise, the old lady said, “The girl in the car is my granddaughter; I am her grandmother.”

Hearing the other person claim to be Lu Xining’s grandmother, Ji Muye’s eyes grew colder by several degrees, and his handsome face became even more indifferent.

In this world, it’s not impossible for there to be two people who look exactly alike.

But this old lady absolutely could not be Lu Xining’s grandmother.

“True, I was resurrected, you won’t believe it until you confront her,” said the old lady.

Seeing he still didn’t believe her, the old lady’s emotions became visibly anxious and panicky, and she quickly said, “You can ask me questions, I remember a lot of things between her and me.”

Ji Muye’s face was gloomy throughout, not believing a word she said.

As he turned to leave, the old lady’s loud shout came from behind, “I really am her grandmother! I’ve come back just to see her once more!”

Ji Muye didn’t turn his head, his voice devoid of warmth, “You’ve already seen her, you may go now.”

The old lady: “…” How could this man be so impervious!

The black Maybach stopped in front of Ji Muye, Ma Sai got out of the car to open the door for him.

Ji Muye got into the car and quickly left the place, but his mind was still preoccupied with the underlying issues of the incident.

The police had verified that the old lady was not quite mentally stable.

This wasn’t her first time rushing into traffic to extort money, but it was her first time spouting madness.

Before, everyone thought she was a mute.

They received this news just after they had returned to the Lu Family home.

All three children were playing in the toy house at home, and she stood in front of the French window looking out at the familiar scenery, lost in thought.

That face, indeed, looked just like her grandmother’s.

Having just settled the troublesome matters in Port City, another person had targeted her with this scheme.

The night before returning to Jingzhou.

Lu Xining had just confirmed the details of the continued cooperation with Xi Juan.

At the current stage, the construction in Yun City County was also making steady progress, and she planned to take her daughter back to Yunqiao Village to live for a while in a few days.

The climate and environment there were more suitable for Lu Nuonuo’s health than Jingzhou.

Otherwise, she wouldn’t have lived there alone with the child for more than two years.

Ji Muye’s car was parked at the entrance of the Lu household but did not enter.

Through the open gate of the courtyard, he saw Lu Xining lost in thought in front of the French window, the recent events having taken a toll on her, leaving her visibly thinner.

Unable to articulate his current emotions, Ji Muye rolled up the car window, “To the company.”

The wrap-up work at the Jingzhou Laboratory had been thoroughly completed, and all team members had already gone to ZN Laboratory in Country C for advancement.

Once the laboratory on the land parcel of Yun City County (formerly Redwood Resort) is completed,

they will return home to concentrate on the research and development of subsequent projects.

Most of the upsetting matters surrounding Lu Xining had been resolved after she left Yunqiao Village.

The only exception was the Beicheng Family.

She even had an inexplicable and strange perception that Shang Qing had not given up on his intentions towards her; it’s just that he and Shang Lvxing were not appearing before her, and she recently had no energy to contend with them.

The most important thing now was the laboratory.

Upon learning that their mother was taking their sister back to Yunqiao Village, Ji Chao and Ji Ze felt very sad.

But since they had to attend school, they couldn’t always follow.

“Xiao Chao, Xiao Ze, Mommy promises to visit you every two weeks, is that okay?”

“When you have your holidays, Mommy can also bring you over to play.”

There was still a month or two before the winter vacation.

Ji Chao and Ji Ze, just thinking about spending some time with their mom and sister and then having to separate again, felt heavy-hearted.

Even though Ji Muye promised that he could take them to see Little Dumpling every weekend, Ji Chao and Ji Ze were still unhappy.

That night.

Ji Ze, holding a pillow, went to find his brother Ji Chao next door, hesitated and said, “Brother, does Mommy still not want us?”

What he actually wanted to say was, she didn’t want him.

Recalling the words Shen Jibai had told him before, Ji Ze’s mood plummeted, and his eyes began to redden.

Ji Chao was about to go to sleep.

Seeing his brother like this, he was a bit worried, lifted the blanket, and let him climb up with his pillow.

Despite his young age, he saw things very clearly.

“Little brother, are you jealous that Mommy loves our sister more and doesn’t love us?”

“…” Ji Ze lay flat on the bed without speaking; he didn’t really know what he thought, he just didn’t want to be away from Mommy.

“What if we transferred schools to Yun City and stayed with Mommy and sister every day, leaving Daddy, would you want that?”
