Be Careful, Scum Dad! Mommy Is Back!-Chapter 93 - But he doesn’t understand either, does he?
Chapter 93: Chapter 93 But he doesn’t understand either, does he?
Seeing Ji Tingran, Liu Xixi’s scalp tingled.
The other party did not recognize her, and upon seeing Ji Muye, she cowered and weakly called out, “Brother.”
The same document was handed to Ji Tingran by Yan Dong.
Her pupils widened in shock, her face turned ashen, and she shrank into herself like a quail.
The next evening,
Lu Xining went to pick up Ji Chao and Ji Ze from kindergarten.
...
Worried about the hidden threats, lately, when picking up her sons, she had kept her daughter at home to wait.
However, not having waited for her two brothers to return yesterday, Little Dumpling insisted on accompanying Lu Xining to pick them up from school today and even took her favorite ice cream from the refrigerator.
She ran up to Lu Xining with a cheerful step, holding the ice cream in her hand, and said, “Momma, let’s eat with brother.”
Seeing Little Dumpling’s hands red from the cold, Lu Xining quickly took it and had someone bring a thermal bag.
She smiled and patted her hair, saying, “Okay, let’s eat with brother.”
Lu Nuonuo, insistent on carrying the thermal bag herself, slung her candy bag on her back and, clutching Lu Xining’s hand, could hardly wait to head outside.
“Momma, hurry, brother is getting out of school.”
When Lu Xining got out of the car with her daughter, Little Dumpling was still holding the ice cream in the thermal bag, and in her clear, bright eyes was the anticipation to see her two brothers.
Who would have thought that before seeing her brothers, she would first encounter an aunt with a pale face.
Ji Tingran was still wearing the same clothes from yesterday, and she trembled as she spoke, “Sister-in-law.”
Lu Xining frowned, “Don’t call me that willy-nilly.”
Seeing her like this, Ji Tingran became even more anxious.
She hastily explained, “Sister-in-law, Liu Xixi’s social media posts have nothing to do with my brother; I took those photos!”
“My brother didn’t make Liu Xixi brown sugar water; he was warming up medicine for me.”
“He also didn’t take Liu Xixi to the film set; I was sketching nearby and hitched a ride in his car back to the old house.”
“I had no idea the paparazzi could fabricate such nonsense!”
Ji Tingran spoke rapidly as though if Lu Xining did not forgive her, she herself would face some dire consequence, both anxious and frantic.
The latter’s gaze passed briefly over the smartphone clenched in her hand, which was showing a call screen.
“Sister-in-law, you must believe me! Everything I’ve said is true!”
She was slow to reply, and Ji Tingran became so agitated she was on edge, her gaze stealing frequent glances toward the black car parked by the roadside.
With a stern face, Ji Muye sat like a perfect sculpture in the backseat of the car, watching the figures of Lu Xining and the children, emanating a powerful oppressive aura that discouraged anyone from approaching.
That car… had followed her from the Lu Family to the kindergarten.
Lu Xining thought it was Ji Muye arranging bodyguards to protect her two sons, but now it seemed highly likely that it was him in the car.
She withdrew her gaze and said indifferently, “I believe it.”
Ji Muye’s sister, albeit acting every bit the spoiled heiress, did not dare to lie.
Especially not lies about her brother.
From a young age, Ji Tingran’s greatest fear was her half-brother. Upon hearing the words, her tense body relaxed slightly, and only then did she have the peace of mind to observe Lu Xining and her daughter in her arms.
“Sister-in-law, this child is…”
Lu Xining patted her daughter’s back and looked at her coldly, “It’s none of your business.”
During her five years in the Ji Family, the other party had never shown her any kindness, and now, suddenly springing up with sister-in-law this, sister-in-law that, who knew what her motives were.
Ji Tingran also knew she wouldn’t be met with kindness, but the memory of the cold and hungry night spent in the darkroom caused her body to shiver subconsciously.
With an embarrassed laugh, she asked, “Sister-in-law, have you forgiven my brother?”
In the backseat of the understated black car, a man sat with a cell phone in front of him, on a call.
The moment Ji Tingran’s voice stopped, Ji Muye’s heart lifted, his body tensed, his complexion as cold and dark as ink, and his deep eyes brewed with an inscrutably dark color.
Lu Xining scoffed mockingly, “Forgive? In your dreams!”
Her smile was so out of place that it tensed both siblings from the Ji Family.
Ji Tingran wanted to explain, but when she saw a man in a black suit get out of the car, his powerful presence made it hard to look directly at him.
Little Dumpling, resting her chin on her mom’s shoulder, was the first to see Ji Muye.

She patted Lu Xining’s shoulder and said, “Mommy, it’s Uncle.”
The latter turned around to meet the man’s cold gaze.
Ji Tingran quickly hung up the phone, “Brother, you’ve heard everything. I’ve explained all there is to explain. It’s really not… my fault that sister-in-law won’t forgive you.”
Her voice got softer towards the end.
Seeing that Ji Muye had gotten out of the car, she hurriedly found an excuse to flee.
Seeing that the Ji Family’s bodyguards hadn’t followed, Ji Tingran quickly hailed a cab back to the old house.
There were only five minutes left until the kindergarten let out, and the entrance was crowded with parents and nannies waiting for their children.
Lu Xining stood in a less crowded, shaded spot outside with Little Dumpling in her arms when Ji Muye’s arrival immediately drew everyone’s attention.
Some recognized him and watched them with a blend of fear and curiosity.
Ji Muye watched her intently, his lips pressed tightly, and he wanted to ask a question but feared the negative response, the dark shades in his eyes betraying his unspeakable emotions.
He lowered his voice, “Does it have to be like this?”
“How?” Lu Xining countered him.
His face was as cold as if it could shed frost, yet the woman’s voice beside him didn’t stop.
Lu Xining, unafraid of the frost in his eyes, asked word for word, “Forgive, you tell me how to forgive?”
“Do you remember the first time I came to pick up Ji Chao and Ji Ze? Liu Xixi was standing right beside you, speaking to me in the manner of a stepmother to the children. What were you doing then?”
Ji Muye wanted to tell her that Liu Xixi wasn’t brought by him, but it was clear that Lu Xining wouldn’t believe him.
After what she had been through with the man, she knew that if things weren’t settled today, they would linger tomorrow, the day after, and many days to follow, with him not letting go of the past.
“Ji Muye, I believe your sister’s explanation, and I believe you didn’t cheat, but it’s all in the past now.”
“Not knowing people well was your fault.”
“Being too obtuse was also your fault.”
Her lips curled slightly, but her smile didn’t reach her eyes, “So let’s end it here, Ji Muye.”
Such a graceful and composed man now had veins bulging on his neck from suppressed emotion, and even his handsome severe features held a restrained wildness.
Ji Muye struggled to control his emotions and closed his eyes, suppressing the urge from deep within.
He accepted all that Lu Xining had said.
But before, he also didn’t understand, did he?
Lu Nuonuo, unaware of what happened between them, had her eyes sparkle like bright stars upon seeing Ji Chao and Ji Ze come out of the school gate.
She struggled to get down from Lu Xining’s embrace and pointed at the kindergarten entrance, “Mommy, brother.”
Ji Chao and Ji Ze saw her instantly, waving and shouting, “Nuonuo!”
They had been waiting for Ji Muye to pick them up and take them to the Lu Family after dinner at the old house last night, but then they were suddenly told Lu Xining had something to do and to stay at the old house overnight.
Lu Nuonuo, holding an ice cream insulated bag, lunged into the embrace of Ji Chao and Ji Ze, who awkwardly caught her.
She offered her treasure and said, “Brother, ice cream.”
Ji Ze’s eyes lit up as he started to open the insulated bag with her.
While Ji Chao was steadying Lu Nuonuo, he looked at Lu Xining curiously, “Mommy, you’ve come back from your business trip.”
She glanced coldly at Ji Muye, “Yeah, just got back.”
The man felt his ears burn and turned his face away to hide the awkwardness of his lie being exposed.
