The baby called out obediently in a childish voice, “El… Elder Ning!”
Ning Zhe smiled. “Ah, that’s wrong. You should call me Grandpa!”
Ning Zhe walked over happily.
The baby looked away. He obviously did not understand that Ning Zhe was his grandfather.
Ning Zhe smiled at Jiang Jin and said, “Old Madam, the baby should call me Grandpa.”
Jiang Jin did not stand up. She gestured for Ning Zhe to take a seat and called for someone to serve tea before she slowly said, “Chairman Ning, I still have to respect Song Ning’s wishes in regard to how the baby addresses you.”
Ning Zhe’s expression did not change as he said, “Song Ning has already returned to her family house and has made amends with me. Old Madam is aware of this so why won’t you allow my grandson to call me Grandpa?”
Jiang Jin calmly said, “Chairman Ning, you’re probably like us and encountered an impostor. The daughter that made amends with you… Are you sure she’s Song Ning?”
Ning Zhe’s displeasure was written all over his face as he said, “Old Madam, what do you mean by that? Song Ning’s my only daughter. Do you think I won’t be able to recognize my daughter? Old Madam, are you sure your granddaughter-in-law is really your granddaughter- in-law?”
Jiang Jin nodded. “Chairman Ning, I dare to bet with you on this matter. I will never mistake someone else for Song Ning. Song Ning is the granddaughter-in-law I love. I know her temperament very well so I won’t mistake someone else for her.”
Ning Zhe said angrily, “Old Madam, don’t be too arrogant!”
Jiang Jin looked at him and continued to calmly say, “Chairman Ning, I’ve been with the Mu family for three generations. If I can’t even recognize my daughter-in-law, then I truly have lived my life in vain. Song Ning lived a tough life in the past, but I won’t blame Chairman Ning for it since it’s your
family affairs. However, since Song Ning married Mu Chen, she’s a member of our family. I’ll take full responsibility for her as an elder. If you hear anything different from what I said, I hope you’ll use the wisdom you gained after being in the business world for so long to make a judgment. Don’t be
deceived by others and hurt Song Ning again.”
Ning Zhe seethed with anger as he said, “Old Madam, I’ve always respected you as an elder, and I’ve always respected your talent and capability as well. I thought that since I’ve reconciled with my daughter, we’ll have a good relationship as in-laws. I didn’t expect you to be so muddle-headed and stubborn.
Hence, don’t blame me for being rude.”
Jiang Jin looked at Ning Zhe with an expression of pity as she said, “Chairman Ning, are you so sure of yourself?”
Ning Zhe said confidently, “Of course! I know my daughter best!”
Jiang Jin said lightly, “Chairman Ning, aren’t you insistent you’re right because of Zhuang Ji? After all, if you’re right, then Zhuang Ji will fall into your hands. Chairman Ning, it’s fine to be ambitious, but you can’t be too greedy.”
Ning Zhe’s face turned purple. He rose to his feet and said, “It seems like the Mu family has no intention of acknowledging my daughter! Then, let’s wait and see! I won’t let my daughter suffer any grievances!”
Jiang Jin rose to her feet as well and said, “Chairman Ning, do you really know Song Ning, During the years after she left home, she endured the most difficult time in her life alone. Why would she suddenly reconcile with you? Have you thought about the reason?”
Ning Zhe stopped in his tracks and said without turning back, “Blood is thicker than water! Is there even a need to think about it?”
Jiang Jin did not say anything else. She only shook her head as she looked at Ning Zhe’s back. There was no way to wake up someone who was insistent on pretending to be asleep.. How could Ning Zhe not know what Song Ning was like? He was only pretending to be obtuse and refused to see the truth
because the lie was beneficial to him!
