Chapter 215 - Instigation
"You know very well where you heard the news from. I hope you can shoulder the consequences for this," Mu Chen said frostily.
The doctors and nurses entered the room at this time.
The doctor in the lead frowned. "What's wrong? Why are you so careless? Didn't I tell you that the fetus is unstable? You have to take good care of yourself and not get angry? How are your family members looking after you? Those who have no business being here, leave. Xiao Zhang, quickly get the head of the Obstetrics and Gynecology Department here!"
Following that, Mu Lan was ushered out of the room by a young nurse. As she walked, she turned around to look at Song Ning, who was surrounded by doctors and nurses, as though she was hoping to see something.
When Mu Lan walked out of the door, the young nurse said with a sigh, "You should hurry up and leave. Don't look anymore. That's the eldest grandchild of the Mu family; he's very precious. Our entire year's bonus is dependent on this young lady here."
Mu Lan grabbed the young nurse's hand and asked, "Young lady, is it… is it so serious? I think she looks fine. Why is the fetus unstable?"
The young nurse seemed to have a lot of pent-up emotions. She looked behind her with a hint of resentment before she said, "It's been unstable from the start. She was injured in a car accident. Old Madam Mu is extremely concerned about this pregnancy because the Young Madam's health isn't good. If she can't keep this pregnancy, it'll be difficult for her to get pregnant in the future. That's why everyone's so nervous."
After the nurse finished speaking, she hurriedly entered the ward and closed the door behind.
Mu Lan felt as though she had been given a glass of ice water on a hot day after listening to the nurse's words. 'That's right. How can all the good things be given to only one person? Didn't everyone say Song Ning's blessed? Look, isn't it karma?'
Mu Lan took a last look through the window; it was still busy in the room. Her lips curled into a smile as she left.
…
Mu Qing was sleeping when Mu Lan returned.
Upon seeing Mu Lan, Liang Zhou made a silent gesture and quietly left the room.
As they stood outside the room, Mu Lan excitedly recounted what had happened earlier.
Liang Zhou suppressed the delight that welled up in her heart and sighed. "What a poor child!"
Mu Lan scoffed. "A person's fortune is predestined. What right does she have to monopolize all the good things in the world? She's from a wealthy family, was once a famous actress, and now, a highly-educated elite. She quietly married into our Mu family and is spoiled to the heavens by the old lady and Mu Chen. See? Now she can't have a child! This is karma!"
Liang Zhou hastily stopped Mu Lan. "Mu Lan, you can't say such words. She's still so young; if she can't have children, isn't it too pitiful? Who knows if the Old Madam will still dote on her then?"
Mu Lan sneered. "Pitiful? Sister-in-law, you don't know this, but that girl isn't someone to be trifled with. When she and Mu Chen first got married, she made Second Aunt and the others suffered. She's very powerful. If you ask me, the situation you're in now is all caused by her!"
These words were not particularly offensive, but they made Liang Zhou incredibly uncomfortable. Nevertheless, her expression did not change as she said, "I don't think she's like that. She's refined and highly educated. Moreover, look at how well Zhuang Ji is doing. I think she's very capable.
Upon hearing the words 'Zhuang Ji', Mu Lan grew even more energetic. "Sister-in-law, you know about Zhuang Ji? Speaking of which, isn't it thanks to Mu Chen that it's doing so well? Previously, Zhuang Ji was half-dead. It was Mu Chen and Cheng Che who gave it life again. Therefore, Zhuang Ji should be considered our Mu family's property. Moreover, since she's married into our family, her assets should also be part of the Mu family's assets. Don't you agree, sister-in-law?"
Liang Zhou smiled and nodded.. "You have a point."
