Sir, How About A Marriage?

Mu Chen seemed to understand Jiang Jin’s intention slightly. “Grandma, you want me to announce my marriage to Song Ning publicly?”

Jiang Jin nodded. “That’s right. Today is so festive; I think it’s a good chance to announce your marriage. It’ll be like a double celebration. Since both of you are husband and wife, it’s only natural for you to help Song Ning manage Zhuang Ji. It’s obvious Ning Zhe wants to send a message that Zhuang Ji belongs to Song Ning and not the Mu Group…”

A faint smile appeared on Mu Chen’s lips upon hearing these words. “Grandma, you’re wise…”

Cheng Che and Song Ning grew even more confused listening to the pair of grandmother and grandson’s conversation.

Jiang Jin patted Song Ning’s hand and said to Cheng Che, “Cheng Che, why are you confused? You should know what I’m thinking. How can your brother keep his marriage a secret? We should let everyone know that Song Ning’s husband is Mu Chen, and her brother-in-law is Cheng Che. In the future, let’s see who dares to bully her!”

Upon hearing these words, Cheng Che instinctively straightened his back. “You’re right, Grandma!”

Jiang Jin smiled as she turned to Song Ning and asked, “Ningning, if someone asks you if Ning Zhe is your father, what will your answer be?”

“No!” Song Ning said without any hesitation.

Jiang Jin’s smile widened. “Why do I like your stubbornness so much?”

Song Ning felt slightly embarrassed when she heard Jiang Jin’s words.

Meanwhile, Jiang Jin said, “Song Ning, if anyone asks, just be honest and tell them you’re no longer a member of the Ning family. Tell them you’ve severed all ties with them and even changed your surname. However, you must remember to be magnanimous and thank President Ning for his past kindness. Do you understand?”

At this moment, Song Ning’s expression was a little unnatural.

Upon seeing this, Jiang Jin knew Song Ning still had not figured out her intention. “Ningning, think about it. If we dispose of the flower baskets, hide them, or destroy them, the more it’ll arouse people’s interest. At that time, they’ll definitely dig into this matter. This will only play into your father’s plan. What happened between you and him recently? Did he look for you and ask you to return to the Ning family? I’m guessing you refused him?”

Song Ning nodded.

Realization dawned on Jiang Jin. “So he wants to use this method to force you back home. If you act excessively today, there’s no doubt the public opinion will favor the Ning family. You’ll be labeled as an ungrateful and unfilial daughter. Your father knows you. Public opinion can put unprecedented pressure on a person; in the end, you might even be forced to compromise.”

Upon hearing these words, Song Ning realized Jiang Jin was right. She felt relieved she did not let her emotions get the better of her and act recklessly earlier.

Cheng Che chimed in, “That’s right. Grandma wants Brother Chen to announce his marriage today so everyone will know that sister-in-law is now a member of the Mu family. With that, even if there are rumors or whatever, people will trust and listen to the Mu family’s statement. Grandma, you’re really amazing! You’re our pillar of support. You saw through Ning Zhe’s scheme so easily.”

Jiang Jin was very pleased with Cheng Che’s flattery.

At this moment, Song Ning asked hesitantly, “But, Grandma, won’t this affect the Mu family?”

Jiang Jin feigned anger and said, “What are you saying? What do you mean by this matter affecting the Mu family? Aren’t you a member of the Mu family?”

Song Ning blushed. However, she was still unwilling to involve the Mu family.

Upon seeing Song Ning’s reaction, Jiang Jin turned to Mu Chen before she sighed dramatically and said, “I’m so sad. I treat her as my granddaughter, but it seems like she still treats us as outsiders!”

Mu Chen turned away to hide the amused expression on his face. His grandmother was the most skilled in acting. If his grandmother claimed the second place, no one would dare to claim the first place.

As expected, Song Ning quickly said, “Grandmother, that’s not what I meant. I just feel the Mu family is innocent, and I don’t want the family to be negatively impacted for no reason…”

Upon hearing this, Mu Chen stroked her head and said, “Your words are getting more and more outrageous. Aren’t you afraid of making Grandma sad? The Mu family is your family. You’re my wife. As a family, it’s only natural that we go through thick and thin together. What need is there to talk about negative impact?”

Cheng Che chimed in with a smile on his face, “That’s right. Sister-in-law, stop overthinking. We’re a family! Since President Ning left a bomb at our door, we’ll dismantle the bomb. Maybe we can even turn the fire powder into firecrackers! Moreover, there’s no need to worry about the public opinion. With Grandma and her friends, news of Grandma’s satisfaction with you will spread like a wildfire!”

Jiang Jin hit Cheng Che playfully. “Hey, are you saying me and friends like to gossip?”

Cheng Che said with a straight face, “Of course not. What I mean is Grandma and her friends are righteous people who can seek justice for sister-in-law!”

Song Ning could not help but laugh as she watched Jiang Jin and Cheng Che’s interaction.

Jiang Jin smiled and said, “Alright then. Children, remember to play your parts. Song Ning, you just have to be yourself. Leave the rest to Mu Chen!”
