Falling For The Contract Bride

Chapter 305

Chapter 305 Someone Who Looked Identical

Mu Zhi had put the phone on speaker, so Xie Xiu could hear it clearly. “No,” uttered Xie Xiu nonchalantly. Then, he stood up and headed upstairs with the documents in his hands.

Xie Xiu stared at him as he walked away. She understood that he was going to work, so she didn’t say much about it. Eric, on the other hand, might not have heard Xie Xiu’s footsteps. He asked, “Mommy, can you ask dad if it’s possible for two people to look identical to each other?”

Mu Zhi swiftly replied, “Your dad has gone to the study room to go through some work documents. You can talk to mommy if you have any questions.”

“Mommy, that’s all I wanted to ask. Gotta go, bye mom.” Finishing what he had to say, Eric hung up the call.

It was night time in the States and morning in where Eric was. But Eric should still be asleep at this time. It was only around five in the morning.

Eric did not express much emotion regarding Xie Xiu’s return to the study room. He had long been used to his dad’s listless way of teaching and understood that Mu Zhi lacked common sense.

Thus, he pondered for a while before making a call to Lu Jinye. Content bel0ngs to Nôvel(D)r/a/ma.Org.

He expected to be directed to the voicemail. After all, it was highly possible that Lu Jinye was asleep at this time. To his surprise, Lu Jinye answered the call within fractions of a second when the call went through. “Hello? Is everything alright?” Asked Lu Jinye with a frown.

“Mr. Lu, I’d like to ask you a few questions. I grew up in LA, and I’m not familiar with how the people in your country look like.”

Lu Jinye hummed in acknowledgment.

It was evident that Lu Jinye didn’t just wake up. He must be going through work documents at this hour. Eric could sense that he was occupied with another task.

Eric then asked with gratitude, “May I know if there’re many women who look like the woman you told me to find in this city? Including those who went through plastic surgery.”

Lu Jinye thought briefly before saying, “Not really.”

Following that, he rose and slotted the work document back into the shelf and continued, “The woman in the photo is one of a kind. One may try to get plastic surgery to look like her, but nobody will be able to mimic her demeanor. So I believe not many will look the same.”

“Then, do you believe that there will be two identical women in the world who aren’t related to each other?”

“I don’t.” Responded Lu Jinye with affirmation.

“Have you tried the face morph applications online? You upload the photo of a man and a woman to the software, and it will generate the face of their babies. Do you think it is trustable?”

“Sorry, I don’t waste my time on such a thing, so I have no idea.”

Lu Jinye took out another book and started reading it.

Meanwhile, Eric had finished all he needed to ask. He thanked Lu Jinye before hanging up the call.

As soon as he did, he stared at the screen of his phone in confusion.

Lu Jinye had requested him to look for information about a woman who looked just like his mother. Eric did not wish to expose his mother’s whereabouts, but at the same time, he was eager to learn the ways

to hack into Lu Jinye’s firewall. Hence, he figured he should try to search for mom’s information online.

At last, after several searches, he could not find a trace of mom’s details on the internet.

He resorted to recovering the deleted files through his restoration program.

When he had completed the restoration, he was flabbergasted!

Numerous scandals were revolving around mom and Lu Jinye on the dark web, along with a man who went by Lu Junnian. He tried to search for news regarding his mom and dad, but to no avail.

The series of exposé appeared to be a little discreditable. Eric understood that his dad was a meticulous man, so he wouldn’t leave any news about themselves on the internet.

However, that begged another intriguing question!

Why did dad not remove every one of mom’s news?

How was Lu Jinye related to mom?

He boldly surmised that there must be a past between Lu Jinye and mom.

At that thought, Eric became even more restless. He must figure out ways to make mom come over the City A once again and then create opportunities for her to meet Lu Jinye.

Judging by how clever Lu Jinye was, Eric could never tell if Lu Jinye was lying to him.

Thus, Eric must not confront Lu Jinye directly about his relationship with mom.

What now?

Eric pondered and decided to send an email to mom, saying, ‘Mom, please make your way to City A at once. I need you to handle my girlfriends, they’re too pesky and have been stopping me from going to school. Their parents have also been swamping my residence. I hope you could talk to them. Please don’t let dad know.’

Mu Zhi knew that Eric had been terrified of Xie Xiu.

As a mother who doted on her son, Mu Zhi immediately responded to his email without letting Xie Xiu know.

Then, she booked a flight ticket to City A.

Her child was her world.

Besides, the girls and their parents should’ve been more modest. Although her son was indeed a fine- looking young man, Mu Zhi thought that it was a parent’s responsibility to intervene in such matters!

Upon boarding the plane, Mu Zhi sent her flight details to Eric and informed him that she was on her way. Eric was over the moon to receive the news. He estimated the time of arrival and chose to ask Lu Jinye those questions in a timely fashion.

Following that, he asked to meet Lu Jinye at a café nearby his kindergarten, which he was familiar with. He also told Lu Jinye that he had found the woman.

When Mu Zhi had alighted from the plane, Eric promptly told her that his classmate’s mother wasn’t around and that his father came alone. He described how the ‘father’ looked like and told Mu Zhi to find him herself.

When she was in the café, Mu Zhi noticed the man sitting alone in the corner.

Lu Jinye had lowered his head, going through his emails while Mu Zhi was oblivious that the man was Lu Jinye.
