Song Ning pouted. “That’s not true. He only has eyes for his son now. Look at how he scolded me in the morning… Moreover, he’s always busy with work…”
After she finished speaking, Song Ning revealed an aggrieved expression on her face as she furtively looked at Mu Qing from the corners of her eyes.
Mu Qing continued sipping from the teacup as though he was completely uninterested in the women’s conversation.
Jiang Jin shook her head gently and said, “Silly child, it’s normal for him to love his son and for him to focus on his career. Moreover, the son he loves so much is both your child. As long as you devote yourself to the family, he will definitely have you in his heart for the rest of his life…”
Song Ning nodded as though she had been enlightened by Jiang Jin’s words.
On the other hand, Liang Zhou nodded, but inwardly, she could not help but sneer. These words only applied to Mu Chen and not Mu Qing; Jiang Jin had only ever favored Liang Zhen and Song Ning because of her love for Mu Chen.
However, Liang Zhou could not help but feel delighted when she thought about how Mu Chen’s love for Song Ning had waned. Outwardly, she said, “In any case, you’re lucky enough that you’re able to stay by the Old Madam’s side and that she dotes on you so much…”
Inwardly, Liang Zhou thought to herself, ‘At least the old lady can help you with your marriage even if her grandson falls out of love with you…”
Liang Zhou was the kind of person where if she was unhappy, she wanted the entire world to be unhappy as well. She thrived on other people’s misery. Only with this, she could soothe the injury in her heart that could not be soothed with anything else.
At this time, Mu Qing gently placed his teacup down on the table and said, “Your Grandma is getting old so you must be more considerate to her. You can’t expect her to solve every small conflict between you and Mu Chen, right? It’s a blessing accumulated over four lifetimes that your Grandma loves you so much. Therefore, you must cherish it…”
Song Ning nodded gently. “I’ll definitely be filial to Grandma…”
Following that, Song Ning held Jiang Jin’s hand and said, “Grandma, I’ll go to the kitchen and ask A Bi to make you some delicious food. Let’s have lunch with Father and Aunt. We can all keep you company…”
Jiang Jin looked at Song Ning. She maintained the smile on her face, but her gaze deepened as she said, “Alright, go and make preparations…”
Song Ning rose to her feet and happily made her way to the kitchen.
Liang Zhou was stunned and baffled, and she instinctively turned to look at Mu Qing. She knew Mu Qing was not as calm as he seemed on the surface because she could see his knuckles had turned white.
Various thoughts began to run through Liang Zhou’s mind. Song Ning had always been on Mu Chen’s side and had never addressed them as ‘Father’ and ‘Aunt’. After all, since Mu Chen had found out about her and Mu Qing’s affair, Mu Chen had stopped addressing Mu Qing as ‘Father’. As for her, Mu Chen did not even speak to her and ignored her as though she did not exist. For this reason, Song Ning had always followed Mu Chen’s lead and only addressed them using the word ‘You’. Needless to say, she and Mu Qing could not complain about Song Ning’s behavior. It was good enough that Song Ning did not ignore them. However, Song Ning just addressed them as ‘Father’ and ‘Aunt’. How could she not be baffled? For a moment, she even thought she had heard wrongly.
With this thought in mind, Liang Zhou felt excitement coursing through her body. Jiang Jin did not object to Song Ning’s form of address at all. Did this mean Jiang Jin’s heart was softening? She could not help but steal a glance at Jiang Jin.
At this time, Mu Qing brought his phone out and began to type on his phone.
Upon seeing this, Liang Zhou asked, “What’s the matter? Who’s that?”
Mu Qing replied casually, “Oh, Old Zhang asked me to meet him tomorrow to discuss something…”
