Mu Qing’s expression was cold. “No matter what, she shouldn’t have left you to take care of the child alone just so she could go shopping, right? Mom, you’re getting older so you need to take care of your health. Don’t tire yourself out.”
Jiang Jin replied with a smile, “It’s okay. I know what to do. Moreover, Song Ning’s a doctor, and she has always been helping me to look after my health. The fact that she trusts me with the child only means that she thinks I’m healthy enough to do so.”
Mu Qing’s hand that was holding the teacup froze slightly.
Jiang Jin looked at Liang Zhou and said, “If you’re free, you should come over and accompany Song Ning. If I knew you were coming, I’d ask her to wait for you so you can accompany her out.”
Liang Zhou was flattered when she heard these words. “Me? Is it really okay? I’m just afraid the Young Madam won’t like me…”
Song Ning had always treated her like nothing, after all.
Mu Qing glanced at Liang Zhou before he calmly said, “Mother is giving you a chance. In the future, you’ll have to visit Mother, Song Ning, and the baby often. Moreover, Song Ning is young. Even if she’s a doctor, it’s still her first time being a mother.”
Liang Zhou hurriedly nodded. “Okay.”
Jiang Jin rolled her eyes at her son and said with a hint of annoyance, “She doesn’t even have a child; isn’t she even more inexperienced? It’s enough for her to accompany Song Ning.”
Liang Zhou’s smile froze on her face immediately, and she could not help but tightly clench her hands. She felt as though the old lady in front of her had just stabbed her heart with a knife. She once had a baby, but the baby died prematurely before it even came into the world.
At that time, Liang Zhen and Jiang Jin did not care much that she was pregnant, but she could not complain because she was the one who decided to use her baby as leverage to force Liang Zheng and Mu Qing to divorce. However, she did not expect Liang Zhen to commit suicide. As a result, Jiang Jin chased Mu Qing out of the house in a fit of anger. At that time, the fear and regret in her heart caused her to miscarry. As a result of that miscarriage, she had lost her ability to get pregnant. That was the darkest moment of her life. She recalled Jiang Jin had said at that time that it was her and Mu Qing’s retribution, and it was Liang Zhen punis.h.i.+ng them. With these words, she felt she was robbed of her right to mourn her child. For these reasons, she knew how powerful Jiang Jin was and that Jiang Jin was skilled at scheming. Therefore, her fear of Jiang Jin had been carved into her bones. For example, although she was incredibly angry now, she did not dare to show it despite Jiang Jin not letting go of any opportunity to rub salt in her wound.
While the mother and son chatted about trivial matters, Liang Zhou excused herself to go to the bathroom. When she returned, she saw the mother and son were still chatting happily so she turned around and quietly went upstairs. After asking a helper where the baby was, she went into Jiang Jin’s room.
When Liang Zhou opened the door, she made a shus.h.i.+ng gesture immediately; the baby was sound asleep.
Liang Zhou gently made her way to the baby’s cot and came to a stop about a step away. Then, she leaned over to have a look.
Sister Yu only nodded and smiled at Liang Zhou.
Liang Zhou’s gaze was fixed on the baby’s ruddy face. The baby was more than two months old now, and he was very chubby and healthy. Her heart could not help but soften when she saw how cute he was.
Liang Zhou thought the child was really lucky. On the night he was born, the hospital caught fire. At that time, Mu Chen was not around because he had left to buy Song Ning’s food. When Mu Chen returned, his first reaction was to save his wife, not the baby. Fortunately, Jiang Jin and Sister Yu were around to protect the baby. At that time, she and Mu Qing had rushed in to help as well. Mu Qing carried his mother out of the hospital while Sister Yu protected Mu Qing from the side.. As for her, she was the only one who carried the baby out.
