Perhaps, it was just Liang Zhou’s one-sided feelings, but she felt the atmosphere had gotten awkward for no reason.
Mu Qing said to Jiang Jin, “Mother, your tea is still the best. This Iron Goddess tea is really delicious.”
“I’ll give them to you if you like it. In fact, I’m not used to drinking this tea. Mu Chen brought it back. I guess it must have been given to him. He doesn’t drink tea so he gave it to me,” Jiang Jin replied.
Mu Qing did not stand on ceremony and said, “Alright, then I’ll accept it. I’ll bring you some Ming tea during my next visit.”
Jiang Jin nodded with a smile.
After Liang Zhou regained her senses, she chuckled and said, “How can you take your mother’s things first before gifting her something?”
Mu Qing smiled and said, “There’s no need to be too polite with my own mother…”
At this time, Cheng Che suddenly rushed into the hall. He was slightly stunned when he saw Mu Qing and Liang Zhou. When he regained his senses, he greeted them. “Uncle Qing, Aunty.”
Before Cheng Che could say anything else, Jiang Jin asked, “Your brother has returned to the company. Why are you in such a hurry?”
“I left a document in the study so I came back to pick it up…” Cheng Che replied. After he finished speaking, he rushed upstairs.
Jiang Jin looked at Cheng Che’s back and shook her head. “This child is always in a rush!”
Mu Qing said with a smile, “Cheng Che is Mu Chen’s right-hand man. Even blood brothers aren’t as close as they are.”
Jiang Jin nodded. “That’s true, and I’ve always treated Cheng Che the same as I treat Mu Chen…”
Mu Qing said, “It’s because Mother is so compassionate that Mu Chen is so blessed.”
Mu Qing had always been eloquent, and his words always made people feel at ease and happy.
When Liang Zhou saw that Jiang Jin was pleased with Mu Qing’s words, she said, “I heard he had a very hard life. Fortunately, he met you. Otherwise, who knows what would happen to him. It’s really a blessing that he met you…”
This was one of the rare occasions that Jiang Jin nodded after listening to Liang Zhou’s words, and Liang Zhou could not help but feel delighted.
“I heard that his family was once a prominent family. Is there really no one left now?” Mu Qing asked probingly.
Jiang Jin sighed and shook her head gently. “There’s no one left. Otherwise, I wouldn’t have been able to adopt him.”
Liang Zhou hurriedly added, “Although it’s unfortunate, it’s also a blessing for Cheng Che. If he was adopted at such a young age by his relatives, who knows if they would embezzle his inheritance? However, since you adopted him, not only did you help protect his inheritance, but you also educated and raised him into a great talent. It’s a great blessing.”
Mu Qing said, “That’s right. He’s really blessed. Moreover, he knows how to be grateful. He’s not any worse than Mu Chen when it comes to being filial to Mother.”
Jiang Jin acted as though she did not hear these words and only smiled gently.
At this time, Song Ning came out of the kitchen. She did not even look at Mu Qing and Liang Zhou as she made her way to Jiang Jin’s side. “Grandma, I’ve already arranged everything. The dishes for lunch are all your favorite dishes…”
Jiang Jin smiled and patted Song Ning’s hand to express her gratitude.
Upon seeing this, Liang Zhou hurriedly said, “Song Ning is also very filial.”
Song Ning only smiled reservedly in response.
At this time, Jiang Jin rose to her feet and said, “I’m a little tired. Ningning, help me accompany them. I’m going to rest for a while and check on my great-grandson. Remember to call me when lunch is ready…”
Song Ning replied obediently, “Alright, Grandma.”
Mu Qing and Liang Zhou stood up to see Jiang Jin off as well.
When Jiang Jin’s figure disappeared up the stairs, the trio finally sat down.
Then, Mu Qing asked calmly, “Don’t you need to go check on your child?”
Song Ning was stunned by these words, and a hint of panic flashed across her face.
At the same time, Liang Zhou looked at Mu Qing and Song Ning in confusion.. She could not help but feel that something was amiss.
