Chapter 170 How Do You Confirm That She Is Lu Jinye’s Daughter?!
From the stiffness of her movements, it was obvious to Lu Yunxi that Mu Zhi was astonished. He
leaped forward with an encouraging smile and patted Mu Zhi on the shoulder.
“Zhi, relax, you’re quite well-liked by master, so… Don’t worry.”
Upon finishing his words, Lu Yunxi brushed his gaze to Mu Xiaomu, who was standing next to them. He
bent forward and pulled out a lollipop from his back like a magician, then stroked Mu Xiaomu’s head
gently.
“Say hello to uncle.”
“Hello, uncle.”
Mu Xiaomu obediently addressed Lu Yunxi as her uncle before turning to Mu Zhi reluctantly. Her
dazzling, dark pupils told Mu Zhi that she was asking for permission… To have the lollipop.
Mu Zhi nodded, and said, “Good girl, follow mommy to my room with the lollipop, mommy needs to
change for you.”
Following that, she turned her face to Lu Yunxi and said, “Please wait for a moment.”
Then, she brought Mu Xiaomu with her into the bedroom.
She found herself a modest and elegant outfit. She figured that kids should normally wear brighter
colors to match their personalities. But accounting for the fact that Master Lu was admitted to the
hospital, Mu Zhi thought it was inappropriate for Mu Xiaomu to attract too much attention. Thus, Mu Zhi
chose a white blouse to go with a checkered skirt for Mu Xiaomu, bringing out a jolly demeanor.

She held Mu Xiaomu in her hands and headed downstairs, entering Lu Yunxi’s car.
It had not been long since she and Lu Jinye had deduced that Mu Xiaomu was their child, and Master
Lu had sent Lu Yunxi to her, asking to see the child. Mu Zhi surmised that Lu Jinye must have been the
one who informed Master Lu regarding Mu Xiaomu.
Despite her surmise, Mu Zhi still sent a message to Lu Jinye.
To inform him that Mu Xiaomu and her were on their way to see Master Lu.
Not long after the text was sent out, Lu Yunxi had come to a halt at the hospital. He parked the car and
ushered Mu Zhi and Mu Xiaomu into the building through the VIP route.
As soon as the elevator door was shut, they heard a flurry of clamoring coming from outside. The
sounds of footsteps were disarrayed while someone bellowed, “Dr. Lu Junnian, are you alright? The
bleeding is too heavy… Hurry up, retrieve some blood from the blood bank!”
“Doc, there was a collapse at a mall construction site just ten minutes ago, many injured workers were
sent to the hospital. I’m afraid… That the blood supply is not enough.”
Mu Zhi overheard the exchange.
But the elevator door was shutting on her.
Mu Zhi’s espied a figure brushing past the elevator and the sound of Lu Junnian’s name echoed in her
head.
The elevator started gradually moving upwards, arriving at the designated floor.
Lu Yunxi stepped off the elevator when the door was open. He placed a hand by the door courteously,
to make way for Mu Xiaomu and Mu Zhi.
Mu Zhi was seemingly in a daze. It was clear to Lu Yunxi’s eyes.
He asked Mu Zhi hesitantly, “Zhi, is everything ok?”
At this point, Mu Zhi was left with no choice. She must not keep Master Lu waiting. Thus, she hurriedly
swept her train of thoughts away, then said to Lu Yunxi, “Nothing, let’s go.”
She held Mu Xiaomu’s hand and walked into Master Lu’s patient ward.
Master Lu had shed plenty of weight due to his condition. But even if that was the case, there was still
a domineering air hovering around him.
Seeing Mu Zhi and Mu Xiaomu entering the room, Master Lu beckoned for the butler to help him up.
He turned his gaze from Mu Zhi to Mu Xiaomu, sizing her up as he said, “Is this my granddaughter?”
Hearing that, Mu Zhi promptly pushed Mu Xiaomu forward slightly, commanding her, “Say hello to
grandpa.”
“Hello, ‘gwandpa’.”
Mu Xiaomu mumbled with a lollipop in her mouth. Her smile was adorable.
“Great…” Master Lu laughed delightfully despite Mu Xiaomu’s inaccurate pronunciation.
It was apparent that he was pleased by her presence.
He stared at Mu Xiaomu with a stern face and asked, “Tell grandpa, how old are you now?”
“Three years old!” Mu Xiaomu responded solemnly.
The people in the room were instantly startled, including Master Lu.
Mu Zhi swiftly tapped Mu Xiaomu with a finger, “Oh silly girl, you’re not three years old. Try again.”
Mu Xiaomu bit her lips, eyes locked on the ceiling as she was putting all efforts to figure. After a long
while, she said, “Four years old.”
Hearing that, Master Lu was slightly relieved.
However, Mu Xiaomu quickly wheeled around to look at Mu Zhi, asking, “Mama, am I right?”
In this instance… Everyone was baffled once more.
Realizing that, Lu Yunxi stepped in to give Mu Zhi an out before she could say anything. He chuckled

6…”
“Can you memorize these?”
Mu Xiaomu was eager to say after Lu Yunxi, “1, 2, 3, 4, 6…”
“No, that’s not right.”
Lu Yunxi interrupted her before lifting his head up to meet Master Lu’s gaze, “Pops, this adorable little
girl might not know her numbers.”
“Then, how did you know she is Lu Jinye’s daughter?”
Master Lu reverted his judgmental gaze onto Mu Zhi. The high spirits on his face when she came into
the room with Mu Xiaomu had left him.
He appeared to be suspicious of Mu Xiaomu’s identity.
Mu Zhi was upset by his expression.
“I believe that you summoned me today because Lu Jinye has informed you of Xiaomu after
ascertaining her identity. Xiaomu is bad at math, so she can’t memorize her numbers. Before marrying
Lu Jinye, we stumbled upon an instance of intimacy by chance.”
Mu Zhi explained somberly.
Master Lu peered at Mu Zhi, “If that’s the case, why didn’t you make us aware of Mu Xiaomu’s
existence all these years? Why wait until the Lu Group run into a bottleneck and Lu Jinye’s wedding
day before announcing her presence?”
Mu Xiaomu’s sudden appearance would only bring negative impacts to the slowly improving situation
revolving the Lu Group.
Mu Zhi bit her lips. She had no idea what to say.
Just as she was about to open her mouth, she was interrupted by a series of uproar came from the
corridor.
