Chapter 283: Humiliated
Rumors were flying that the young nurse had risked her life to look for Mu Chen’s legal wife and asked to be given status in the family. In the end, she even gave birth in front of the legal wife.
Such explosive news had the media rus.h.i.+ng to report the matter.
Reporters and paparazzi gathered at the hospital and the Cloudy Peak Villa, hoping to find a scoop.
Song Ning’s past was ruthlessly uncovered. Mu Chen’s love declaration in the past was also dug out and reprinted again. Reports of the end of the fairy-tale love were rampant in the media.
Although this matter did not affect the Mu Corporation’s stocks to drop, Mu Chen’s image had hit rock bottom. The Mu Corporation was mocked and ridiculed.
When Cheng Che read all the groundless reports, he was so angry that his blood pressure spiked.
However, Mu Chen forbade Cheng Che from releasing a statement. He did not allow the Mu Corporation’s PR team to take action as well. He allowed the rumors to continue.
Cheng Che was puzzled and frustrated.
Mu Chen was afraid the reporters and paparazzi would hara.s.s Song Ning so he insisted on staying by her side and letting Jiahui accompany Jiang Jin.
As a result, Cheng Che was busy running to and fro from the hospital and the Mu family house. It was not convenient for Mu Chen to move around since he might cause a stampede among the reporters if he made an appearance.
At this moment, Cheng Che paced back and forth in Song Ning’s ward. He really wanted to throw something to vent his anger. Alas, he was in Song Ning’s ward, and there was nothing for him to throw. He could only pace around angrily. “Brother, we really have to sue them for defamation and slander! These unscrupulous media! If they look for our company to sponsor advertis.e.m.e.nts in the future, I’ll beat them until they bleed!”
Song Ning looked at Mu Chen. Similar to Cheng Che, she did not understand what Mu Chen was trying to do. She said, “I’ll speak to Feng Man. If she has any conscience left, she should step forward and reveal the truth. Since she’s involved, the media will only believe it if she speaks up. Although I helped her to deliver the baby because it’s my duty as a doctor, I think it’s not too much for me to use this to ask for a favor…”
Cheng Che clapped his hands. “Sister-in-law is right. This is a good idea! She owes sister-in-law a life-saving grace after all. It’s not like we’re forcing her to act against her conscience; we’re just asking her to tell the truth.”
Mu Chen said, “Both of you mustn’t forget about human nature. What if Feng Man agrees in front of you but turns around and insists the child is mine? At that time, the situation will be even worse than it is now…”
“Then what should we do?”
Song Ning and Cheng Che looked at Mu Chen.
Mu Chen leaned against the back of the chair and found a comfortable position before he said, “Wait.”
“Wait? Wait for what?” Cheng Che was baffled.
Mu Chen looked at Song Ning.
Song Ning reached out to hold his hand and said, “Hurry up and tell us. Don’t keep us in suspense.”
Mu Chen was slightly dissatisfied with Song Ning’s usage of the word ‘us’.
Cheng Che knew what Mu Chen was thinking. He sighed dramatically and said, “Little Niece, your father gets jealous too easily. Both you and mother can only belong to him completely…”
Song Ning pursed her lips, trying not to smile as she glared at Mu Chen.
Mu Chen reached out and gently stroked Song Ning’s stomach. “My baby daughter, you don’t have to care about your uncle in the future. All you need to care about is your father, understand?”
The baby kicked Song Ning’s belly, causing her to cry out in surprise.
Mu Chen rose to his feet immediately and said proudly, “Look, my daughter promised me! She kicked in response to words! She understood what I said and promised me!”
