Sir, How About A Marriage? Chapter 85 - Worries

Chapter 85 - Worries

"Don't tell Su Tong about this," Ning Zhe warned Ning Chun.
"Understood," Ning Chun replied.
Both of them fell silent.
After a long while, Ning Zhe suddenly asked, "Does Mu Chen treat her well?"
"It seems like it. Young Miss seems to rely on him a lot. He also denied that Young Miss is from the Ning family and repeatedly emphasized that her name is Song Ning," Ning Chun replied honestly.
Ning Zhe closed his eyes. "Even if Su Tong met her at the Mu family house, it's likely that both of them pretended not to know each other. Ning Xia definitely didn't mention me to the Mu family since she refuses to admit she's my daughter. On the other hand, Su Tong doesn't want her to return to the Ning family.." After a brief pause, he said with a scoff, "All of them are so selfish; they don't consider me at all!"
Ning Chun did not dare to speak and stood silently.
"Does the Mu Group have a clothing business?" Ning Zhe asked.
"No," Ning Chun replied.
Ning Zhe nodded. "That's good. At least her things won't fall into the hands of outsiders. Get someone to keep an eye on her. If she's short on money, think of a way to help her. Don't let her sell her mother's life work because of financial problems."
Ning Chun hurriedly replied, "I don't think she will, Master."
Ning Zhe cocked an eyebrow and looked at Ning Chun.
Ning Chun quickly composed himself before he explained, "First, Young Miss had a very deep relationship with Madam. No matter what, it's unlikely that she'll easily reveal Madam's legacy to others. Second, Young Miss' financial situation isn't bad. Although what Madam left her isn't a lot, it should be enough to support Young Miss throughout her university days. Now that President Mu is by her side, I think her situation will be even better."
Ning Zhe did not say anything. The pair of mother-and-daughter was just as stubborn as each other.
Ning Chun asked tentatively, "Master, is it really okay to let Madam meet Miss Ye?"
Ning Zhe nodded. "Let her go and make a scene..."
Ning Chun thought for a moment before he said, "That Miss Ye is known as Little Ning Xia…"
Ning Zhe was slightly surprised. "Does she look like Ning Xia?"
Ning Chun shook his head gently. "Her appearance is slightly similar, but their temperaments are completely different. Her agency probably wanted to use this as a gimmick." He paused for a moment and glanced at Ning Zhe before he continued to say, "Rumor has it that Miss Ye Xin was previously chosen to be the Young Madam of the Mu family…"
A slightly annoyed expression appeared on Ning Zhe's face as he said indignantly, "Can you just say everything in one breath? Tell me everything you know…"
Ning Chun hastily said, "Yes. It's said that Miss Ye is really fond of President Mu. Previously, there was a scandal about them. President Mu didn't deny it or make a public statement so the tabloids continued to make up headlines. On the contrary, Young Miss and President Mu's marriage should've been big news, but strangely, no one knows about it at all. I really don't know what President Mu is trying to do. Miss Ye's brother, Ye Cheng, grew up with Mu Chen, and both of them have many business dealings. However, the Ye family can't compare to the Mu family. I think Mr. Ye wants to compete with President Mu. It's probably why he wants to cooperate with you."
Ning Zhe scoffed coldly. "Ye Cheng won't do something that doesn't benefit him. His visit clearly isn't without ulterior motives. Let's just wait and see. Su Tong is a fool. Arrange for someone smart to stay by her side and keep an eye on her…"
"Yes." Ning Chu had long gotten used to such an order.
Ning Zhe no longer spoke, but he did not dismiss Ning Chun. Therefore, Ning Chun could only stand quietly and act like a piece of decoration.
After a period of silence, Ning Zhe asked in a low voice, "Ning Chun, what can I do to make Ning Xia give me her mother's book? How can I make her believe that everything I did was for her good? When she gets married in the future, I will definitely not mistreat her."
Ning Chun wished that he could disappear on the spot. How was he supposed to answer such a question? How could he ask Ning Zhe why he acted like he did before if he knew this was going to happen?
Ning Zhe did not seem to care that he did not get a reply from Ning Chun. He had long given up on the answers to these questions. After a moment, he patiently instructed Ning Chun, "Help me keep an eye on Mu Chen. He might not be willing if I ask to meet him so arrange for a chance encounter. I need to know if he has the intention of cooperating. At the same time, I can see if he takes the initiative to talk about Ning Xia. If a man truly loves a woman, he won't be able to stop himself from talking about her. What's most important to me is what Ning Xia wants. As for Ning Xia, don't appear in front of her during this time to avoid provoking her. She's just like her mother; she's the type that would rather die for a just cause than to lose her integrity."
Ning Chun nodded in agreement. Inwardly, he could not help but feel a little uneasy. He felt that M City was about to undergo a huge change.
