Mu Qing’s heart skipped a beat. “Zhuang Ji hasn’t made any profit up until now? Are you sure? Did you look at the reports carefully?”
Ye Xin nodded confidently. “I looked at it carefully. I told you that I’ve been looking at the reports every day, haven’t I? Grandma said it’s fine and that there’s no rush. It takes more than a day to build a business. She said once we lay a strong foundation, business will definitely pick up in the future. She told me to take my time to learn and to not be anxious. I think her words make sense. What do you think?”
Mu Qing nodded as he said absentmindedly, “She’s teaching you so sincerely so you have to be diligent. This is your career. Think about it. With Zhuang Ji, how can Liang Zhou compare to you? She has nothing; she has no right to compete with you. She’s just a pitiful woman who depends on a man.”
Upon hearing this, Ye Xin’s heart was soothed.
…
When Ye Xin arrived at the Mu family house, she looked at it coldly. Before entering, she brought a small mirror out to check on her makeup. After all, her eyes were still red and swollen. She needed a good excuse to explain this matter.
However, when Ye Xin entered the house, she discovered Jiang Jin, Sister Yu, and the baby were not at home. Although she was surprised, she was immensely relieved. She thought that the heavens were really on her side, allowing her to bypass a disaster.
…
Sister Yu carried the baby as she walked behind Jiang Jin who was being supported by Cheng Che.
“Grandma, please slow down. Watch your steps,” Cheng Che said.
Jiang Jin patted Cheng Che’s hand but did not say anything.
They were now at a house located in the old city district in the heart of the city. It was Jiang Jin’s private property. The central business district was located nearby as well. It was a place where every inch of land was worth a fortune. Being able to live here was a true symbol of status.
The house was unoccupied. Apart from a few people who came in to clean the house, usually, there was no one living here.
Jiang Jin had given this place to Song Ning for Song Ning to stay in due to safety reasons. In fact, she planned to give this house to Song Ning in the future as well.
Jiang Jin could not help but quicken her pace as she walked.
When Mu Chen appeared, he held Jiang Jin’s arm. “Grandma.”
“Is she here?” Jiang Jin asked anxiously. As soon as she entered the house, a figure rushed into her arms immediately.
“Grandma!”
Jiang Jin’s heart was filled with mixed feelings at this moment. She reached out and hugged the person in her arms. She felt distressed when she felt how thin the figure was. “Song Ning, Grandma misses you so much!”
The duo hugged each other and cried silently.
Mu Chen and Cheng Che stood at the side as they looked at Jiang Jin and Song Ning. They could not help but sigh inwardly. Were they not part of the family as well? Their grandmother was really biased.
Ever since they ‘picked up’ Song Ning at the entrance of the Civil Affairs Bureau and brought her back to the Mu family house, Song Ning and Jiang Jin had gotten along very well. It was as though they were biologically related. Even Mu Chen, her biological grandson, and Cheng Che, the grandson she had raised since he was young, had to step aside to make way for Song Ning.
Song Ning had been worried about Jiang Jin’s health. When she pulled away, the first she did was hold Jiang Jin’s hand and asked, “Grandma, how have you been recently? Let me check your pulse.”
Cheng Che felt a weight being lifted off his shoulders when he saw this. This was the real Song Ning! Song Ning would always check Jiang Jin’s pulse and blood pressure as soon as she saw Jiang Jin before inquiring about Jiang Jin’s activities. Jiang Jin’s health had always been Song Ning’s top priority.
However, at this moment, Jiang Jin stopped Song Ning and said, “I’m fine, I’m fine. Come and have a look at the baby first!”
Sister Yu stepped forward and handed the baby to Song Ning.
The baby looked at Song Ning curiously with his big eyes.
Sister Yu said tearfully, “Young Madam, hurry up and carry the baby.. He hasn’t been properly carried by his mother yet.”
