Family Bonds

"Thank you for giving me a chance and not interfering in my work," Liang Zhou responded softly.2

Song Ning remained silent.

"Song Ning, I know I've hurt Mu Chen and the Old Madam. No matter how much I atone for my sins, it won't be enough. Sometimes, there's no turning back once you make a mistake," Liang Zhou said with a bitter smile on her face. Then, she said in a low voice as though she was talking to herself, "One should be responsible for one's actions, right? I'll bear the consequences and responsibility; I won't shirk it. Moreover, I won't be lenient to those who wronged me either."

Song Ning knew Liang Zhou was referring to Ye Xin. Hence, she said, "Everyone has their own way of doing things. Although I won't interfere or stop you, I don't want you to hurt yourself either."

Liang Zhou smiled. "Song Ning, if there's a next life, I'll definitely be a good person. Only with a good heart can I have the courage and strength to face challenges and changes."

Song Ning could tell Liang Zhou was completely different from before. Liang Zhou's blind superiority and self-righteousness had all disappeared.

At this moment, Sister Yu waved at them from below, gesturing for them to come down.

Song Ning kissed her son on his face before she placed him in Liang Zhou's arms and said to the baby with a smile, "Go downstairs with Grandma to look for Great-grandma. Mommy is going to look for Daddy."

Then, Song Ning smiled at Liang Zhou and turned around to leave without saying another word.

Liang Zhou held the baby in her arms in a daze. She really wished she had another pair of hands so she could hold the baby even more carefully. This was the third time she was holding the baby.

The first time she held the baby was when he was born. She had carried him to escape from the sea of fire. The second time she carried him was when she stole Ye Xin's hair. At that time, Sister Yu had helped her extricate herself from a sticky situation and kindly let her hold the baby for a while. During those two times, she had felt instinctively nervous. After all, even if Jiang Jin and Sister Yu's attitude toward her had changed, she did not dare to take the initiative to hold the baby. She knew she was not worthy. No matter how arrogant she was in front of Ye Xin, she felt inferior in front of the Mu family.

Now that Song Ning casually placed the baby in her arms and did not treat her as an outsider, she was at a loss. Song Ning even walked away without saying anything. This kind of trust was truly overwhelming.

When the baby saw that Liang Zhou was only holding him and not moving, he stretched his hands out and touched her face. Then, he called out, "Grand… ma…"

The baby's voice was like a spring breeze to Liang Zhou. Tears fell down her face immediately.

The baby looked at her curiously and reached out to touch her eyes.

Liang Zhou hurriedly wiped her tears away and said softly, "Baby, let's go and find Great-grandma."

Liang Zhou carefully carried the baby downstairs as though she was holding a priceless treasure. Her mood was indescribable at this moment.

Jiang Jin was slightly surprised when she saw Jiang Jin carrying the baby downstairs. When she saw Liang Zhou's stiffness and nervousness, she understood immediately. She said with a smile, "It must be tiring for you to carry him. He's getting heavier and heavier that I can't even carry him anymore. I don't dare to carry him either. I'm afraid I'd drop him."

Liang Zhou looked at the baby with barely concealed affection as she said, "To be able to carry him is also a kind of happiness…"

The baby held onto Jiang Jin's neck with one hand and said in a childish voice, "Milk… milk…" Then, he looked at Jiang Jin and said, "Great… gran… Great-gran!"

Jiang Jin smiled. "Little brat, how can you just shorten words on your own? You might not be aware, but he's very smart. He only calls out to us when he sees us eating."

Sister Yu chimed in, "He's already so observant at such a young age. When he grows up, he'll definitely be even more outstanding than his father."

When Mu Qing entered the house, this harmonious scene was the first thing he saw. He did not expect Liang Zhou would be able to carry the treasure of the Mu family. After all, everyone knew the baby was the life of the entire family.
