Ning Zhe could obviously sense that the atmosphere in the Mu family house was not quite right. In the end, he said, “It’s really rude of me to visit with any notice in advance.”
Jiang Jin smiled. She did not refute Ning Zhe’s words.
Ning Zhe asked, “Why don’t I see Song Ning?”
Jiang Jin’s eyes flashed as she asked, “Chairman Ning, did you come to see Song Ning?”
Ning Zhe smiled and did not say anything.
At this time, Ning Dong stepped forward and said with a hint of indignance, “I heard that you hit my sister! Are you bullying my sister because you think she doesn’t have her family’s support? We came to see her today!”
“Ning Dong, don’t talk nonsense. He’s your brother-in-law. How can you be so rude?” Although Ning Zhe sounded like he was reprimanding Ning Dong, his voice was gentle.
Ning Dong reluctantly retreated behind Ning Zhe.
Everyone wore different expressions on their faces at this moment.
Mu Chen finally asked, “So did Chairman Ning come to interrogate us?”
Mu Chen’s expression was so cold that Ning Dong instinctively averted his eyes. He did not understand why Mu Chen’s gaze alone contained such an oppressive force. It was as though Mu Chen could see through all his thoughts.
Su Tong seemed afraid of angering Jiang Jin. She hastily said to smooth things over, “Chairman Mu, please don’t misunderstand. Old Madam, it’s like this. Our Eldest Young Miss originally swore that she’d never return to the Ning family. Our family was understandably saddened by that. However, after giving birth to the baby, she seemed to have understood how parents feel about their children. Hence, two days ago, she came to our house to mend her relations.h.i.+p with her father. My husband was naturally delighted. Since we’re in-laws, he decided to come over for a visit today. After all, in the future, our families might have more interaction, don’t you agree?”
Su Tong laughed awkwardly after she finished speaking.
These words made the atmosphere a little strange.
Jiang Jin looked as though she did not expect Su Tong to be so friendly. She asked, surprised, “Song Ning went to your house?”
Su Tong nodded, looking at Jiang Jin with eager eyes.
At this moment, Ning Zhe said, “The Old Madam doesn’t know this, but Song Ning has always been stubborn since she was a child. She had always held a grudge against me. After giving birth, she had become more mature and sensible. It seems like she finally knows the feeling of being a parent. I heard she had some conflicts with Mu Chen so I came over to visit. It’s important for young couples not to hold grudges. If there’s any misunderstanding, it’s fine to let it go.” Then, he turned to Mu Qing who was sitting at the side and said, “Don’t you agree, Brother Mu?”
Mu Qing did not expect to be dragged into the conversation. He was fl.u.s.tered as he hurriedly replied, “That’s right. Brother Ning has a point. I was just advising Mu Chen earlier. Young people have a quick temper, after all. They get angry easily and won’t give in.”
Despite meeting coincidentally at the Mu family house, Ning Zhe and MU Qing cooperated rather beautifully.
Jiang Jin nodded as she said, “So you’re both here for Song Ning.”
The two men quickly straightened their backs and looked at Jiang Jin respectfully.
Jiang Jin said expressionlessly, “Song Ning and Mu Chen were in love; they even have a baby together. However, after giving birth, it’s like she turned into a completely different person. Her behavior puzzles us.”
Su Tong could not help but straighten her back and look at Jiang Jin with bright eyes.
Jiang Jin continued to say, “Take the recent incident as an example. She suspected Mu Chen was having an affair without good reasons. Not only that, she even kicked up a huge fuss. Mu Chen was stubborn as well. He did not give in and ignored her. As a result, she tried to hurt the baby. Fortunately, Liang Zhou was there at that time. If it weren’t for Liang Zhou, the consequences would have been unimaginable. I don’t think Mu Chen is being unfair to her even if he wants to divorce her.”
Ning Zhe and Mu Qing’s expressions were rather unsightly.
Jiang Jin swept her eyes across everyone as she said, “Ever since she gave birth, she had never even taken care of the baby once. Have you ever seen a mother like that?”
