At this moment, Jiahui felt someone patting her shoulder. She turned around and saw Mu Chen and Cheng Che.
Mu Chen motioned Jiahui to let go of Song Ning.
When Jiahui moved away, Song Ning was surprised when she saw Mu Chen.
Mu Chen squatted down in front of her before he held her hand against his face. He smiled and asked, “Did you miss me?”
When Song Ning looked at the person in front of her, her tears fell even more heavily than before as she nodded.
Mu Chen rose to his feet and pushed Song Ning to a nearby bench. After he sat on the bench, he held her hand and gently said, “I came late today because I had to deal with some matter. Zhuang Ji’s sales exploded again this season. Cheng Che and I went for a meeting. Cheng Che proposed we give An Ran and the others a raise and promote them to partners. Apart from their salaries, they’ll receive a yearly dividend from Zhuang Ji. What do you think?”
Song Ning nodded. “Alright. I was just thinking about how I can repay Sister An Ran and the others. Apart from money, I don’t know what else to give them…”
Mu Chen smiled. “Now that they’re given shares of Zhuang Ji, they’re part of Zhuang Ji. They’ll feel a sense of belonging as well…”
Song Ning nodded. “It’s truly a great idea.” She turned to look for Cheng Che but discovered he had left at some point with Jiahui.
Mu Chen raised his hand and gently placed his hand on her chin to turn her head over. “Song Ning, there’s something I want to tell you…”
Song Ning’s tears welled up again.
Upon seeing this, Mu Chen hurriedly said, “Okay, why don’t you tell me what you have to say first…”
Song Ning shook her head. “No, you go first. I’m sure what you have to say is important. What I have to say is just a trivial matter.”
Mu Chen looked at Song Ning. “All your concerns are serious matters to me. They’re no trivial matters.”
Song Ning shook her head. Her mood seemed to have improved as a small smile appeared on her face, “No, it’s really a small matter; it’s not worth mentioning. When I see you and think of Grandma, I feel everything else isn’t important at all…”
Mu Chen looked at Song Ning and rubbed her head affectionately. “Alright. You have to remember that no matter what happens, Grandma and I will always be by your side. To us, you’re the most important. Oh, right, we can’t forget about the baby as well.”
Upon hearing Mu Chen’s words, Song Ning smiled; she felt much better. After a beat, she looked at Mu Chen and asked, “Tell me, what is it?”
Mu Chen organized the thoughts in his mind before he said, “Song Ning, I don’t know how I should say this so I’ll be blunt…” Following that, he handed a report to Song Ning and said, “This is the DNA test result for Ning Zhe and Ye Xin. They’re father and daughter…”
Song Ning was stunned even if she had already heard about this matter. She reached out and took the report. She directly flipped to the last page to look at the result. After looking at the result, she silently handed the report back to Mu Chen. She softly said, “Alright, I understand.”
Mu Chen was stunned by her reaction.
Song Ning said softly, “Earlier, I heard a nurse and a cleaner discussing this matter in the pantry. Mu Chen, when they told me about this, I didn’t doubt their words at all. This report is just an extra confirmation. I was quite sad when I found out. However, after I saw you…” She shook her head as tears brimmed in her eyes. “Mu Chen, I have a family now. I have you, the baby, and Grandma. I shouldn’t feel sad over people who have nothing to do with me. Their matters have nothing to do with me. No matter who he cheated with back then, it would have hurt my mother regardless. I’m slightly glad that she’s gone so she doesn’t have to endure this pain. I… I’m not sad; this matter has nothing to do with me…”
Mu Chen crouched down in front of her and patted her gently as he said. “Very good…”
