Chapter 210 - You Call This ‘Treating You Well’?
As Lu Wenjun voiced her thoughts, Luo Chenxi grew to feel more and more embarrassed as she listened.
Her mommy was absolutely right. On the day she married into the Mu family, she also felt that her days would go by like years.
However, she had unknowingly spent two months staying with the Mu Family.
Other than getting occasionally annoyed by Mu Yichen’s ever-changing mood and eccentric temper, she was genuinely happy during most of her time spent in the Mu Family.
Especially when she was with Tang Tang, she often forgot that the little girl was not actually her biological daughter. Instead, she always had an illusion—Look at this cute little dumpling, as expected of my dear daughter.
As Lu Wenjun finished, she pressed her hands on her chest and glared at Luo Chenxi.
Luo Chenxi quickly said, “Mommy, I’m telling you the truth! Mu Yichen treats me really well! If you still have doubts, then…”
“Then what?”
“Then, I’ll ask him to come and pick me up! You’ll understand once you see for yourself!”
Luo Chenxi anxiously wanted to convince Lu Wenjun, so she blurted out such an idea in the heat of the moment.
As soon as she did, she immediately regretted it.
However, Lu Wenjun had obviously heard her words, so she immediately said, “Alright then, call him over now!”
“Ugh…” Luo Chenxi immediately became speechless.
“What’s wrong? Suddenly feeling like you can’t do it anymore, hmm? I knew it, everything you just said was a lie…”
“No, no, no! Mommy, of course not!” Luo Chenxi desperately shook her head. “But… but, Young Master Mu completely has no idea that I’m not really Luo Chenxin. If he sees you here, won’t that… blow my cover?”
Luo Chenxi’s quick-wittedness shone once again and gave her a reasonable explanation to prevaricate.
However, how could Lu Wenjun not know what was going through her daughter’s mind?
She snorted coldly. “It’s fine. I don’t really need him to come up here to see me in person anyway. Just tell him that you are visiting a friend, then have him bring his daughter along and meet you downstairs!
“I only have to watch him pick you up downstairs while I’m up here, that would be enough. So, you needn’t worry about exposing your true identity.”
Luo Chenxi’s face stiffened.
As expected of her mommy, her little tricks could never escape Lu Wenjun’s eyes.
“What is it now? Won’t that do? Seems like you really are lying to me. That’s it, cut the crap and get me checked out of the hospital. We’re going home right this instant, and you will not return to the Mu Family!” Lu Wenjun straightened her face as she held onto the edge of the bed in an attempt to stand.
Luo Chenxi quickly ran over and firmly stopped Lu Wenjun from doing so.
“Mommy, what… what’s with the rush? Relax and listen to what I have to say for now. Actually… erm…”
Luo Chenxi’s eyeballs rolled around as she desperately tried to brainstorm her way out of this.
However, after a long time, she could not really think of a better excuse then the one her mommy suggested and could only say, “It’s just… Young Master Mu has been quite busy with work recently, so I don’t want to bother him. However, he will surely come when I go looking for him… How about this, I’ll try giving him a call to ask…”
She tried her best to convince Lu Wenjun to stayput.
“Well then, excuse me while I make a call…”
“Don’t you dare walk out! Do it here!”
Luo Chenxi had no choice, she proceeded to find Mu Yichen’s contact and dialed his number right under Lu Wenjun’s nose.
The dial tone sounded. Luo Chenxi held her cell phone tightly with both hands and prayed in secret, ‘Oh lord, oh almighty lord… please descend your blessings upon me. Young Master Mu, please! You’ve got to pick up the call!’
She would not have been this nervous if this was any other time like the usual.
However, Luo Chenxi and Young Master Mu undeniably got into a little fight last night, and they were currently not on good terms with each other.
The two of them even ended up sleeping in separate rooms.
Thus, she wondered if that petty man’s anger had subsided.
In the end, it turned out that her prayers did not work.
The other end of the phone rang for more than ten times before it got hung up.
God d*mn it!
Could he not just play along with her plans during crucial moments like this?
“What’s going on? Young Master Mu isn’t even picking up your call, is he?” Lu Wenjun turned to look at Luo Chenxi with a frown. “And you call this ‘treating you well’?”
