Chapter 500: Interview
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
‘What happened with the Mu family was unfortunate, but luckily, they had Mu Qing.
At this moment, Mu Qing was being interviewed. He had previously accepted an exclusive interview.
He was dressed in an expensive suit as he sat in front of the camera and discussed the economic prospect of M City with the host. He had the demeanor of a scholarly businessman.
At the end of the interview, the host switched to a more casual topic. He asked, “Mr. Mu, back then, everyone said you left the Mu family because of love. It’s said that you chose love over wealth. It’s such a moving story. Can you tell about the journey of your heart back then?”
‘Mu Qing smiled elegantly as he replied, “That’s all in the past. What’s there to talk about? Speaking of which, I feel really sorry for my mother. I was young and impulsive, making my mother, who had worked hard to raise me, sad.”
The host exclaimed, “So it’s true that you chose love over wealth!”
‘Mu Qing looked at the camera and smiled as he said, “It’s not like that. At that time, Mu Chen had already shown that he was highly talented. I’m very carefree and love challenges so I don’t like being boxed in. Moreover, I had confidence in my son’s ability. At that time, I thought it would be a good
experience for him to directly immerse himself in the family business. It was an alternative way of education that I chose.”
The host sighed in admiration. “You are truly a great father.”
Mu Qing smiled bitterly. “It’s a pity that Mu Chen doesn’t think so. Back then, his mother committed suicide due to depression, and he has resented me since then. I have no way of explaining this matter to him so I can only… let him be, hoping he’ll come around.”
The host nodded in agreement. “All parents love their children and never stop thinking about their children. For the sake of your son, you even agreed to the Old Madam’s suggestion of never intervening in the family business again?”
‘Mu Qing nodded solemnly. “A man must keep his word. Since I returned to the country, I’ve been focused on my own matters. Apart from visiting my mother, I’ve not meddled in the family business.”
The host praised, “You’re really a filial son.”
‘Mu Qing smiled and did not say a word.
The host asked tentatively, “Then what are your thoughts about the recent news that the Young Madam of the Mu family is an impostor?”
Mu Qing immediately frowned. He seemed hesitant as he said, “This is Mu Chen’s personal affairs. I think he should know the truth best. I have a good impression of Song Ning. She’s very sensible and was worried about the strained relations.h.i.+p between Mu Chen and me. She worked hard to mediate
between us…”
‘Mu Qing suddenly trailed off.
The host immediately asked, “Are you talking about the Song Ning of the past or the current Song Ning.”
A conflicted expression appeared on Mu Qing’s face before he said, “The past. I can’t lie.”
“In other words, you’re saying the current Song Ning is a fake, right?”
‘Mu Qing smiled awkwardly. “I think you should ask Mu Chen about this. It’s inappropriate for me to speak about this matter. I’m only worried about my mother now. She’s old now, but she still has to worry about her grandson. I really don’t know what to say.”
‘The host nodded and said in an attempt to comfort Mu Qing, “Don’t worry. Your mother will be glad to know you care about her so much. Some people say that the Mu Group is in a dangerous situation now. I’m afraid that apart from you, there’s no one who can turn things around.”
‘Mu Qing quickly shook his head and said, “You’re exaggerating. I’m not so capable. Moreover, everything I know, I learned from my mother. With my mother around, there won’t be any problems. Everyone, please rest a.s.sured and don’t be swayed by rumors. Moreover, we’re all people. How can we not
make mistakes? Mu Chen’s still young so I hope everyone will be more tolerant and understanding,”
After the interview, Mu Qing’s popularity soared, and he gained a lot of fans..
