Chapter 291: Turning the Tide
At this moment, the baby seemed to sense her mother’s sadness and started crying.
When the baby started crying, Feng Man started to panic. Over the past few days, Ding Ling or the other nurses would help her take care of the baby. Hence, when the baby started crying now, she began to panic, not knowing how to comfort the baby. She hugged and gently rocked the baby as she said, “Don’t cry, baby. Don’t cry.”
The baby’s cries grew louder and louder.
At this time, Ding Ling took two steps forward and said, “Manman, she’s not comfortable with you holding her in that position. Why don’t let me help you?”
Feng Man instinctively handed the baby to Ding Ling.
At the same time, a fireman who had been hiding under the ledge on the floor below suddenly leaped up and pushed Feng Man away from the ledge.
With that, the security guards jumped in action and held Feng Man down to prevent her from running to the ledge again.
A doctor quickly stepped forward and injected Feng Man with sedatives.
Feng Man’s struggling grew weaker and weaker. Before she passed out, she said to Mu Chen, “I’m sorry. I didn’t mean to harm you…”
When Feng Man was brought away by the medical staff, Ding Ling carried the baby and followed after her.
At the same time, the reporters flocked toward Mu Chen immediately.
“Chairman Mu, what’s going on? Why didn’t you say anything when you were baselessly accused of such things?”
“Chairman Mu, Chairman Mu, can I get an exclusive interview from you?”
“Chairman Mu, how are you planning to help the pair of mother and daughter?”
“Chairman Mu…”
“Chairman Mu…”
“Chairman Mu…”
Mu Chen turned around and walked toward the exit as the reporters followed behind him.
Only Cheng Che alone was struggling to keep the reporters away from Mu Chen.
At this time, Mu Chen suddenly stopped in his tracks. He turned to face the reporters before he said, “Do you know that my wife, Song Ning, personally delivered Ms. Feng Man’s baby at the beach? I’m sure all of you know that she’s pregnant as well. In helping Ms. Feng Man, the fetus was disturbed so she had to be hospitalized. She currently staying in the hospital to stabilize her condition. Under such circumstances, do you think I have the time to care about correcting these baseless accusations? Moreover, I’ve already gotten used to this. Over the years, all sorts of slanderous news have been published about me. Initially, I wanted to ask the media to at least leave my family alone. In the end, I gave up on that idea since I know it’s useless. You can write whatever you want. I don’t care.”
Mu Chen paused for a moment before he continued to say, “Saying that, I don’t want anyone to be hurt by the rumors. I’m strong enough to disregard these rumors, and my wife, Song Ning, trusts me enough not to be hurt by these rumors as well. However, what about other people? For example, that lady earlier. She’s so pitiful so I hope all of you won’t hurt her anymore. To those of you who said you want to help seek justice earlier, I admire you very much. If you need help financially regarding this matter, you can come to me. Our family is willing to contribute in whatever ways we can.”
After Mu Chen finished speaking, he did not wait for the reporters’ response and walked away.
Cheng Che hurriedly stepped forward to stop the reporters from chasing after Mu Chen. He said, “If there’s anything you need, please contact the Mu Corporation. We’ll have someone help you…”
Meanwhile, when Mu Chen arrived at the exit, he saw Jiang Jin and Song Ning standing by the door. He and Song Ning held Jiang Jin’s hands on each side and supported Jiang Jin as they walked away.
The reporters hurriedly raised their cameras and took pictures of the heart-warming scene.
…
The sudden change in public opinion caught Fu Ting off guard. She had prepared for everything but did not expect Feng Man would make such a huge commotion. With that, not only did she fail to cause trouble for the Mu Corporation and obtain Zhuang Ji, but she had also caused trouble for the Fu family.
Fu Ting frowned, extremely displeased. The only way left for her to cut her losses was to abandon Fu Guo’s family before the fire spread to the rest of the Fu family.
