Sir, How About A Marriage? Chapter 207 - Vigilance

Chapter 207 - Vigilance

Unaware of the thoughts in Liang Zhou's mind, Mu Qing continued to say, "Think of a way to spread this news. Wait for the right time and make sure it doesn't get traced back to you. Don't think about Zhuang Ji; it's beyond you. You should think before you act, don't you think?"
Liang Zhou's face reddened as she muttered, "But I've already offended her. She's probably wary of me now…"
Mu Qing asked, "Do you know what you did wrong? Before you act, you should discuss it with me. Don't act on your own. Whether it's scheming or managing things, you're not skilled enough. Don't make big decisions on your own. We're husband and wife; we're one. If you make a mistake, it'll affect me as well. Do you understand?"
The words 'We're husband and wife; we're one' were the only words that Liang Zhou focused on. They were like a glass of water during a hot day; they soothed her.
Indeed, she and Mu Qing were married. Mu Qing was hers, to begin with. She only took back what originally belonged to her. What did Liang Zhen have to do with her? What happened to Liang Zhen was not her fault at all.
Liang Zhou was so lost in her thoughts that she did not pay attention to Mu Qing's other words at all.
In fact, Mu Qing had spoken so many words because, in his eyes, Liang Zhou was ignorant and incompetent.
When Liang Zhou regained her senses, she asked with bright eyes, "Then, why don't we let the media expose this matter?"
Mu Qing looked at Liang Zhou and did seem to take her ignorance to heart. He only said, "Gossip and rumors spread by word of mouth are the most detrimental. Do you understand?"
Liang Zhou did not understand, but she felt the task Mu Qing gave her was not difficult to accomplish.
…
Jiang Jin held the report in her hand as she looked at Mu Chen in shock. "This… Is this true?"
Mu Chen nodded.
"Who else knows about this matter?" Jiang Jin reacted quickly.
"Ye Cheng," Mu Chen said confidently.
Jiang Jin heaved a sigh of relief. "This concerns Ye Xin and his family. He will spare no efforts to keep this a secret. The most important thing now is Song Ning…"
Mu Chen admired his grandmother's quick-wittedness and decisiveness. "That's right. I'm afraid she'll be sad if she finds out about this. However, if we keep this from her, she'll still be sad when she finds out in the future. This secret won't be able to remain a secret forever. I think it's best we tell her about it instead of letting her hear about this from someone else…"
Jiang Jin considered Mu Chen's words for a moment before she said, "Mu Chen, you have a point. If she hears it from us, we can be there for her to cheer her up. If she hears about this from outsiders, I'm afraid she won't be able to bear it…"
Seeing his grandmother did not object to his suggestion, Mu Chen sighed in relief. "In any case, this thing isn't a big deal. Song Ning no longer has anything to do with them. Two days ago, Madam Ning forced Song Ning to sign an agreement to give up the right to inheritance. I told Song Ning the agreement won't be valid in the eyes of the law, but she doesn't care. It doesn't matter if it's valid or not since she doesn't want anything from the Ning family anyway…"
Jiang Jin nodded. "From now on, we'll be Song Ning's support. It's good for her to stay away from such a complicated environment. Are you keeping an eye on Ning Zhe's condition? If anything happens, we have to make preparations as well…"
Mu Chen nodded. "I heard his condition isn't too optimistic. Madam Ning and Young Master Ning have been recently invited to sit in during the board of directors' meetings. She's probably laying the foundation for Ning Dong to take over the family business…"
Jiang Jin thought it was no wonder Su Tong was so anxious to make Song Ning give up her right to inheritance. She said with a sigh, "Mu Chen, do you think all families are the same? Whether it's Ning Zhe or your father, their problems were both caused by women. The consequences of their choice aren't light at all…"
Mu Chen did not say anything.. Whether it was good or bad, he did not want to speak or hear about his father at all.
