197: Exhortation

Exhortation

0Mu Chen looked at his grandmother and calmly said, "Grandma, don't worry about these things. Leave it to me and Cheng Che…"3

"Then tell me how you plan to deal with the matter. In the past, our Mu family was criticized because of your father's actions. Now, everyone thinks they can just bully us; I won't allow this. Now that you have a family of your own and you're about to be a father, I want everyone to put away those dirty thoughts. I want to let everyone know they can't just mess with the Mu family without any repercussions," Jiang Jin said in a tone that brooked no arguments.

Mu Chen nodded. "Don't worry, Grandma. I know what to do."

Jiang Jin glanced at the other end of the corridor, "Your father is staying in that ward over there. I know you won't visit him, but you should at least pay attention to details. Make sure you know who has been visiting him, regardless if it's an outsider or someone from our family. I don't want anything to happen to the Mu family. Do you understand what I mean?"

Mu Chen nodded. "Grandma, I understand."

Jiang Jin looked at her tall grandson and hesitated for a moment. There were some words that were better left unsaid. She loved both her son and her grandson, but what could she do if the father and the son were like enemies? Moreover, apart from kinship, she had to consider the interests of the entire Mu family. She would not allow anyone to mess around. In the end, she only sighed and no longer said anything else.

Upon seeing this, Mu Chen reached out and gently hugged his grandmother. "Grandma, don't worry. I won't let you down."

Jiang Jin returned the hug, patting Mu Chen's back. "You've always been Grandma's pride and joy…"

At this moment, the elevator doors opened with a ding. Following that, Cheng Che emerged from the elevator with a smiling face.

Upon seeing Cheng Che, Mu Chen leaned in and whispered something to Jiang Jin.

After listening to Mu Chen's words, Jiang Jin immediately said, "You rascal, where's my Jiang Jin immediately said to Cheng Che, "Rascal, where's my granddaughter-in-law?"

Cheng Che asked in confusion, "Isn't sister-in-law in her room?"

Jiang Jin glared at him. "I'm talking about the other one?"

Cheng Che was further confused. He looked at Mu Chen and asked, "What other one?"

Jiang Jin tugged on Cheng Che's ear and said, "What other one? Are you playing dumb? Don't tell me you failed to chase Jiahui. Otherwise, I'll skin you alive!"

Cheng Che did not dare to resist or move. He hastily said, "Grandma, Grandma, I got it, I got it! It's done"

Jiang Jin let go, pleasantly surprised. "Really? She agreed to marry you?"

Cheng Che replied, slightly embarrassed, "She agreed to be my girlfriend."

Jiang Jin said disdainfully, "She only agreed to be your girlfriend? Why can't you act quickly like your brother?"

Cheng Che looked at Mu Chen resentfully before he said, "Brother is lucky that sister-in-law was fooled by him. Moreover, sister-in-law is so gullible. How can I handle Jiahui who's so sharp?" However, when he saw the slight change in Jiang Jin's expression, he hurriedly said, "Don't worry, Grandma. I'll definitely work hard to marry Jiahui!"

With these words, Jiang Jin's expression eased before she said with a smile, "Alright. You better not go back on your words; your brother will be a witness to this. If you mess up, I'll let your brother deal with you!"

Cheng Che smiled foolishly, "Don't worry, Grandma!"

After Jiang Jin returned to the room to accompany Song Ning, Cheng Che exhaled in relief.

Mu Chen asked with a faint smile, "Is there really no problem?"

Cheng Che rolled his eyes as he said, "You and sister-in-law have worked so hard to help me. How can I face both of you if I fail?"

Mu Chen smiled. "That's more like it. My wife is worried about you even though she's pregnant. If you don't live up to our expectations, not only will you disappoint us, but you'll disappoint your little niece as well!"

"Little niece? How do you know it's not a little nephew?" Cheng Che asked curiously.

Mu Chen said confidently, "I'm sure you'll have a little niece!"

Cheng Che looked at Mu Chen's confident expression and did not have the heart to break Mu Chen's illusions. Therefore, he swallowed the words hanging on the tip of his tongue.
