Chapter 260: The Protagonist
At this moment, Cheng Che finally realized how vicious the beautiful woman in front of him was. If it were not for Jiang Jin, would Mu Chen be pressured by the crowd into getting married to Ye Xin?
Ye Xin panicked and hurriedly said, “I… I remembered it wrongly! It was the wrong date. Let me think again!”
Jiang Jin’s smile finally faded. “There’s no need to think again, Miss Ye. You disappointed me greatly.”
Ye Xin’s face was deathly pale, and a sense of unease threatened to overwhelm her heart as she looked at Jiang Jin in shock.
Jiang Jin said with a disappointed expression on her face, “Miss Ye, you slandered my grandson over and over again, and I’ve endured it over and over again. Do you know why I chose to endure? I endure for the sake of generations of friendship between the Mu family and the Ye family. Mu Chen and your brother have been classmates since they were in kindergarten, and you and Mu Chen have known each other since young. If he likes you, I’m sure your kids would’ve been in kindergarten by now.” After a beat, she continued to say, “You’re the apple of the Ye family’s eyes so you’ve always been insufferably arrogant since you were a child. Do you think Mu Chen wouldn’t marry another person other than you? Just because he has found true love, you think he abandoned you? Both of you weren’t in a relationship so how could he have abandoned you?”
“Although you’re young, your thoughts are too vicious. You created rumors earlier and tried to slander my grandson and granddaughter-in-law. You even ran your car into my granddaughter-in-law, causing her to almost miscarry. However, you were injured as a result so I thought you would’ve learned your lesson. I didn’t expect you to cling onto Mu Chen and slander him as soon as you saw him. You wanted to use the public to force him into submitting. What did you say earlier? You were born to become a member of the Mu family, and you want to die a ghost of the Mu family?” Jiang Jin said frostily; her eyes were piercing, “Let me tell you; when you’re alive, you won’t be able to enter the Mu family. Even if you die, you still won’t be able to enter the Mu family. Our family will never accept those who harbor evil intentions.”
Someone in the crowd shouted, “Well said!”
Everyone was impressed by Jiang Jin who managed to rescue her grandson who was unable to defend himself.
At this moment, the sound of footsteps rang from the corridor; the police and the Mu family’s lawyers had arrived.
The crowd parted to make way for the police and the lawyers.
“What’s going on?”
Before the police finished speaking, the Mu family’s three lawyers had already surrounded Mu Chen and Cheng Che as though they were prepared for a fight. The police felt rather speechless when they saw this.
At this time, a clear female voice rang in the air.
“What’s happening?”
When the crowd parted, Song Ning and Jiahui, who were dressed in white coats, rushed over. Song Ning’s belly was already showing slightly at this time.
Song Ning rushed up to Jiang Jin and quickly held Jiang Jin’s wrist to check her pulse. “Grandma, are you alright? Why are you here?”
When Jiang Jin saw Song Ning, she looked like a child who had been caught misbehaving. She had completely lost her imposing air from earlier in front of Song Ning, looking more like the old lady-next-door who was obedient to her grandchildren.
Meanwhile, the police had already begun to ask questions.
After Song Ning determined Jiang Jin was fine, her gaze finally landed on Ye Xin. However, she did say anything and shifted her gaze to Mu Chen and Cheng Che and said with a hint of reproach, “Both of you aren’t young anymore. What’s the problem that you had to get Grandma to solve it for you?”
she was like a primary school student who had made a mistake and was caught. She completely lost her imposing manner from before and became an old lady next door who was being controlled by her grandchildren.
Cheng Che did not want Song Ning to misunderstand Mu Chen so he hastily explained, “Sister-in-law, someone slandered my brother and insisted that my brother had an affair with her and abandoned her. She wanted to force my brother to take responsibility for something he didn’t do!”
However, Song Ning glared at Mu Chen as she said, “Since you know it’s slander, why do you bother to argue? Just call the police and the lawyers. What’s the point in arguing? Are you having a competition to see who’s louder? You even made Grandma worry. If Grandma’s blood pressure rise even a little today, just wait for me to deal with you!”
Mu Chen and Cheng Che remained silent, too afraid to speak.
