Sir, How About A Marriage?

Song Ning’s breathing quickened, and she felt her blood churn. Under the blanket, she silently placed her hand on her lower abdomen to calm the surging emotions in her heart. It was not worth hurting herself or the baby for a woman like Su Tong.

On the other hand, Su Tong felt this was a once-in-a-lifetime chance opportunity. She took a few sheets of paper out of her bag and handed it to Song Ning as she hurriedly said, “Alright, sign this. Sign this to prove that you’ll never return to the Ning family!”

Su Tong hurriedly placed the agreement to give up the right of inheritance in front of Song Ning with a swoosh.

Song Ning calmly picked up the papers and flipped through them. After she was done, she shook the papers in her hand and said, “Even if I sign these papers, it won’t be valid. Unless Mr. Ning acknowledges it, it’s useless. Moreover, even if I sign it, how do you plan on breaking the news to him? When he finds out about this, do you think he’ll be angry at me for signing these papers or do you think he’ll be angry at you for making me sign these?”

Su Tong’s face reddened when she heard these words.

Song Ning looked at Su Tong contemptuously. She could not understand what Ning Zhe saw in this foolish woman; he even gave her and her mother up for such a woman.

The fact that Song Ning’s mother lost to such a woman was a fatal blow to her pride; she had never been able to untie the knot in her heart in her life. The culprit was not only Su Tong but Ning Zhe as well.

Su Tong stood motionlessly, unsure of what to do; she did not know if she should leave or stay.

Song Ning calmly asked, “You want to solve this problem once and for all, right? No matter what I say, you won’t believe me, right?”

Su Tong remained silent.

Song Ning said, “Then let’s go through legal procedures. Let your lawyer contact me.”

“How’s that possible? You should solve this matter yourself without involving me.” At least, Su Tong was still smart enough to realize the problem with this solution.

Song Ning looked at Su Tong indifferently. “Why should I? Do I owe you anything?”

Su Tong was speechless. After taking a deep breath to calm down, she said, “Ning Xia, you’ve already married into the Mu family, and the Mu family treats you well. You don’t need anything from the Ning family. However, Ning Dong and I are different…”

As Su Tong spoke, tears began to flow down her face. Then, she gritted her teeth and fell to her knees next to Song Ning’s bed before grabbing Song Ning’s hand.

Song Ning was shocked, but outwardly, she remained unflustered. She recalled back then the woman in front of her had kneeled in front of her mother in this manner as well. Su Tong had cried and claimed that she did not need any legal status and only wanted to stay at Ning Zhe’s side. Back then, her mother had been pregnant; she wondered how angry her mother must have been at that time.

Song Ning forcibly pulled her hand out of Su Tong’s grip. Her mother had been unwilling to accept Su Tong’s kneeling, but she was different. Since Su Tong wanted to act and kneel, then she would let Su Tong continue to do so. She would just treat it like watching a show.

Su Tong’s tears fell like rain, making her look pitiful.

The corners of Song Ning’s lips twitch. In the end, she took the pen and signed the agreement before tossing it in front of Su Tong. She said indifferently, “That’s enough. Take this. How much you can do next depends on your ability…”

With this, Su Tong stopped crying immediately. She did not even wipe the tears off her face as she hurriedly picked up the agreement to look at the signatures on it. Following that, she quickly rose to her feet and said, “Ning Xia, thank you. Don’t blame me for this. It’s every mother’s nature to plan for their children’s well-being. Your mother did it for you, and I’m doing it for my son.”

Song Ning calmly replied, “My mother had never stolen anything from others for me. She had always taught me to do unto others as you would have them do unto you. Since you love money so much, you can have it…”

Su Tong was briefly stunned by Song Ning’s words. When she regained her senses, she said with a faint smile on her face, “I’m not highly educated nor have I seen the world like your mother. I only know how to guard what belongs to me to make sure no one snatches them away from me.”

Following that, Su Tong turned around to walk out with a triumphant expression on her face. Just as she was about to leave, Mu Chen pushed the door to the private ward open. Upon seeing this, she fled in a panic; she did not even greet Mu Chen.

Mu Chen was surprised by this. He asked, “What happened?”

After Song Ning recounted what happened, Mu Chen said, “Ning Zhe isn’t stupid. He will definitely know this is that woman’s scheme. However, I don’t think that woman cares if Ning Zhe knows…”

Song Ning was puzzled. “What do you mean?”

Mu Chen asked, “Don’t you think the butler, Ning Chun, is the most worried when Ning Zhe was injured?”

Song Ning nodded. “Ning Chun is Ning Zhe’s confidant. He has been by Ning Zhe’s side since Ning Zhe was young. Their relationship has long surpassed that of an employer and an employee.”

Mu Chen shook his head. “You don’t understand what I’m trying to say. What I mean is Madam Ning and Young Master Ning doesn’t seem surprised about Ning Zhe’s accident nor do they seem worried…”

Song Ning was stunned; she looked at Mu Chen in a daze. “You… What do you mean?”

Mu Chen patted Song Ning’s head and said reassuringly, “Don’t think too much. Maybe I’m just overthinking things. There’s no need for you to think about this matter.”
