Jiang Jin’s expression was dark when she ended the call.
Upon seeing this, Mu Lang tugged on her shirt and asked, “Great-grandma, what’s wrong?”
Jiang Jin bent down and gently held Mu Lang’s hand as she replied, “Great-grandma was just angry with a friend earlier, but it’s fine now. We’ve talked it out.”
Mu Lang tilted his head and said, “Is it like how Dad and Uncle are? Angry, quarreling, and that’s it?”
Jiang Jin smiled and nodded. “That’s right. When you have friends, remember to be honest with them. A good friend will still stick by you even if you have a disagreement.”
Mu Lang nodded.
At this moment, Zhuang Ning, who was standing at the entrance, saw this scene, and her eyes were a little moist.
Jiang Jin looked up and saw Zhuang Ning. She smiled warmly. “You’re here.”
Zhuang Ning nodded slightly. “Old Madam.”
Mu Lang looked at Zhuang Ning as she bent down and smiled at him. “Little Master, I came to talk to you Great-grandma about some work matters. Is that okay?”
Mu Lang was very pleased that he was treated like an adult. He nodded solemnly with an understanding expression on his face and said, “Okay, then I’ll go play by myself. Please get on with your business.”
Then, Mu Lang went upstairs obediently.
Zhuang Ling looked at Mu Lang’s composure and could not help but smile. She asked with a smile, “Old Madam, you must be really happy that Mu Chen has a successor…”
“Yes. When I look at Mu Lang, I see the future of the Mu family. With him, I really have no worries and regrets,” Jiang Jin said. Then, she invited Zhuang Ning to take a seat before she asked gently, “Is everything ready?”
Zhuang Ning nodded. “Yes, Old Madam. The money you asked Uncle Wen to transfer is in place…”
“Alright, go ahead and do it. I’ll be your support. For Mu Chen and Cheng Che, I’ll do whatever it takes. Your experience gives you an edge over them. In the future, please take care of them. I’m old, and I just want to spend time with Little Mu Lang,” Jiang Jin said with a nod.
Tears welled up in Zhuang Ning’s eyes as she said, “I really have to thank you, Old Madam. I don’t deserve such treatment from you. I’m willing to do anything for you even if it means giving up my life.”
Jiang Jin said with a gentle smile, “Child, I like your ability. There’s no need to feel uneasy. The relationship and fate between people are mysterious and wonderful. You’re worthy of me entrusting my entire fortune to you. You deserve a better future. Don’t give up on yourself. Don’t think about dying along with those who hurt you. Trample those people under your feet while you raise your head and live a wonderful life. This is true victory.”
Zhuang Ning was greatly encouraged by these words.
…
After Zhuang Ning left, Jiang Jin was in a daze for a long time.
When Sister Yu came over with a bowl of bird’s nest, she asked softly, “Why do you trust Miss Zhuang so much?”
Jiang Jin leaned against the couch and said, “I can feel she’s already standing at the edge of the cliff. If I don’t pull her back, she’ll definitely jump down. I’m old, and I don’t have much time left. I don’t have the energy to support Mu Chen and Cheng Che anymore. Hence, I’m trying to make arrangements for them. It’ll be beneficial to them in the future.”
After handing the bowl of bird’s nest to Jiang Jin, Sister Yu said, “Drink it while it’s hot. Young Madam has repeatedly instructed me to make sure you drink a bowl every day. This is my mission. You have to cooperate with me.”
Jiang Jin glared at Sister Yu playfully before she took a sip. “I feel rest assured with Ningning. With her around, the Mu family won’t fall into chaos. There’s also no need to worry about Mu Lang’s upbringing and education. She’s the best gift that God has given me. When I leave, I’ll also feel at peace.”
Sister Yu said angrily, “Look at what you’re saying. What’s wrong with you? Why do you always say such words? It’s bad luck! I’ll accompany you to live a happy life. Isn’t that good? I completely forget about my age whenever I look at Little Master Mu Lang. I even dream of seeing Little Master Mu Lang as a groom one day.”
