Chapter 80 - Confirmation
Jiang Jin took another sip of the fruit tea before nodding with a smile. "Yes, he"s married."
Su Tong maintained the surprised expression on her face as she said, "Is that so? It"s such a big occasion and we live so close to each other, but I didn"t hear anything about it at all. When did President Mu get married? I don"t remember your family holding a banquet…"
Jiang Jin could barely conceal the pride on her face as she said, "They"ve just gotten married recently. They only registered their marriage for now. My granddaughter is still in university so she didn"t want any fanfare. I don"t mind following their wishes. After all, what"s important is that they"re filial to me…"
An ominous feeling rose in Su Tong"s heart when she heard these words. She braced herself as she continued to ask, "I wonder which family your granddaughter-in-law is from? To keep her hidden so well, President Mu must be deeply in love with her. It seems like he listens to her a lot?"
Jiang Jin leaned forward as though she was going to confide in Su Tong before she said with a smile, "Let me tell you; it feels as though my grandson was raised by his wife instead of me. After my grandson got married, he"s incredibly obedient to his wife. He listens to everything she says."
A thought flashed in Su Tong"s mind. Then, she lifted her hand to cover her mouth as she pretended to laugh. "Since I have a son, I"ve always wondered what it"d be like to have a daughter-in-law. At that time, would he no longer have me, his mother, in his heart? Based on what you said, it seems like President Mu is like this?"
Jiang Jin leaned back before she said with a relieved expression on her face, "Fortunately, my granddaughter-in-law is even more capable than my grandson. Although she has yet to graduate, she"s very skilled. She helps me take care of my body and even manages my meals. As long as she has the time, she"ll cook for me. She worries about my health all the time. She"s a really good child. It"s our Mu family"s blessing that Mu Chen"s able to marry someone like her…"
Following that, Jiang Jin took another sip of the fruit tea before she continued to say with a sigh, "I often wonder how did her parents raise such a good child? Fortunately, she married into our Mu family. I"d be so envious if she married into another family."
Su Tong"s thoughts were racing in her mind. The old lady was really good at taking in circles. Apart from showing off her happiness, she had yet to glean any information from the old lady. In the end, she could only grit her teeth and bluntly asked, "I"m really curious after hearing you speak so well of her. Which family is she from?"
Jiang Jin smiled. "Madam Ning, you definitely wouldn"t have heard of her. That child"s life is tough. Her mother pa.s.sed away when she was young so she"s the only one left. She"s a very independent and good child. Her name is Song Ning, and she"s studying Chinese medicine. She"ll be graduating in a year. At that time, I"ll definitely make sure they have a grand wedding. I"ll have to share this happy news for our Mu family and invite everyone in M City to the banquet."
"S-song Ning?" Su Tong was perplexed. She wondered if Ning Chun made a mistake? However, Ning Chun clearly said Mu Chen had said Ning Xia was his wife before he brought Ning Xia away. However, Jiang Jin said her granddaughter-in-law"s name was Song Ning. Even if Ning Xia changed her name, she should have taken the surname Zhuang.
"Madam Ning haven"t heard of her, right?"Jiang Jin asked. She had long figured out that Su Tong"s purpose of visiting was to confirm Mu Chen"s relations.h.i.+p with Song Ning.
"So this is Song Ning"s stepmother?" Jiang Jin felt that Ning Zhe must be blind. The woman in front of her was shrewd and could not even compare to a strand of Zhuang Yi"s hair. How much water was in Ning Zhe"s brain that he betrayed Zhuang Yi for such a woman? He even abandoned such an excellent child like Song Ning. He really deserved to die! No wonder Song Ning refused to return to the Ning family.
After a moment, Jiang Jin recalled the time Song Ning revealed her origin. It seemed like Song Ning had expected the Ning family to find her and did not want her to have any misunderstandings.
Su Tong shook his head awkwardly. "No, I haven"t heard of her."
Jiang Jin nodded.
However, Su Tong did not give up. She said with a smile, "I wonder if President Mu and the Young Madam is home? Since I"m here, I should seize the opportunity to get acquainted with them. In the future, I can ask your granddaughter-in-law out to go shopping. Who knows we might even meet during a banquet."
Jiang Jin"s expression stiffened slightly. She had already said so much but Su Tong still persisted. It seemed like Su Tong would not give up until she achieved her goal.
At this moment, a faint voice rang in the air. "Madam Ning, do you want to get acquainted with me?"
Song Ning walked out slowly as she held Mu Chen"s arm.
Su Tong was so shocked that she unconsciously rose to her feet.
"It"s Ning Xia! It"s really her! She really married into the Mu family! The granddaughter-in-law whom Old Madam Mu praised, Song Ning, is Ning Xia!""
At this time, Su Tong looked as though she had seen a ghost. She felt the heavens were too unfair. Ning Xia was chased out of a wealthy family only to be accepted into another wealthy family! Moreover, Ning Xia even had the favor of the Old Madam of the Mu family! She really did not know how to put her feelings into words at this moment.
Some people spent their entire lives trying to climb to the peak like Su Tong, and there were people who were born at the peak like Ning Xia.
