Sir, How About A Marriage

Song Ning tried to suppress the anger in her heart. The angrier she was, the calmer she became. "Mu Chen and I have come to an agreement to be financially independent..."

Liang Zhou reacted as though she had heard a particularly funny joke. "Both of you are really following the trend, huh? In fact, Mu Qing and I used to say this as well. However, as the days passed and with love in the equation, how could we differentiate clearly between our things? Let me tell you: currently, what's mine is mine, and what's Mu Qing is also mine..." She sounded proud at the end of her words.

Song Ning was speechless.

Liang Zhou was not pushy. She said amicably, "I understand we can't rush this matter. After all, being able to attend the reunion dinner for the new year is already a good first step..."

Song Ning felt chills running up her spine. She began to doubt her actions. Why did her good intention seem to have been twisted by the person in front of her? She suddenly wondered if she had caused trouble for Mu Chen.

Liang Zhou said, "Song Ning, it's been a pleasure chatting with you. We're going to be a family from now on. I hope you'll take my words to heart and help me with the favor. Mu Qing and I will remember your kindness." Then, she looked at her watch and said, "It's getting late; I won't bother you anymore. I'll be waiting for good news from you..."

Song Ning was really speechless. When did she agree to help Liang Zhou? Liang Zhou had spoken in a way that brooked no argument. Although she was usually even-tempered, she was really infuriated by the lunatic in front of her. She exhaled and calmed down.

Jiang Jin, naturally, loved her only son, Mu Qing. Mu Chen hated his father to the bones, but for his grandmother's sake, he chose to compromise. Song Ning supported Mu Chen's decision to compromise as well since Jiang Jin was already advanced in age. However, what were Mu Qing and Liang Zhou's thoughts? Did they have ulterior motives or did they only want to accompany Jiang Jin? She was sure Liang Zhou had ulterior motives, but she was not sure about Mu Qing.

Song Ning did not plan to tell Mu Chen about what transpired today; she did not want to add salt to his wounds. She would keep an eye on Liang Zhou and Mu Qing. She would not allow them to hurt Mu Chen and Jiang Jin who were her family now. It was now her responsibility to protect them.
