513: Dignified

Dignified

Mu Chen said softly, "She's the same as my mother. Love is the most important thing to them. Everything she does is because of love. My mother dealt with her problem by hurting herself while she chose to seek revenge instead."1

Jiang Jin shook her head and sighed again.

"Don't worry, Grandma. Xiao Yu is very loyal, and she's by her side. She'll definitely be fine since she still has something to live for," Mu Chen said in an attempt to comfort Jiang Jin.

The pair of grandmother and grandson both knew that Liang Zhou truly cared about the baby. Apart from that, Mu Qing and Ye Xin had yet to receive the punishment they deserved.

…

Ning Zhe angrily smashed the cup in his hand on the floor. He did not expect the Mu family would not yield at all.

Ye Xin was flustered and anxiously asked, "Father, what should we do? Mu Chen, he, he's determined to abandon me!"

Ye Xin's tears began to fall again. She had to return to the Mu family; she had to continue living as Song Ning. Her reputation was already in tatters, and she had ceased to exist in this world. Only with Song Ning's identity could she continue to live. She did not know what to do now.

Ning Zhe felt distressed for his daughter, but when he saw how panicked she was, he felt a little strange. He had never seen his daughter panicking before. Zhuang Ji had raised Ning Xia to be calm, steady, and dignified. Hence, since she was young, she had never panicked and would instead focus on solving the problem instead. She knew that crying would not solve the problem.

At that time, Ning Zhe had thought that Zhuang Yi had taught their daughter to be too independent. He had thought that their daughter was not cute or gentle at all. In his mind, girls were supposed to be delicate. His daughter would be carefully cared for by the family, and when she got married, her husband would care for her.

However, Zhuang Yi had always instilled in their daughter that it was best to rely on oneself than to rely on men.

Ning Zhe grew absent-minded as he thought about this matter. He had to admit the current Ning Xia was more like his ideal daughter, but she was not like his daughter at all. Then, he began to wonder if it was possible for someone to change so much after getting married and having a child.

"Dad…" When Ye Xin saw that Ning Zhe was lost in his thoughts, she reached and shook Ning Zhe's arm.

Ning Zhe was abruptly pulled back to his senses. He was slightly stunned when he looked at his spoiled daughter. He had spent countless days and nights wishing Ning Xia would behave in such a manner to him. However, Ning Xia would never do something like that.

Complicated emotions rose in his heart, but he still reached out to pat Ye Xin's hand to comfort her as he said, "Don't be afraid. Since the Mu family is so stubborn, we'll just report it to the police."

"No! Daddy, you can't call the police!" Ye Xin exclaimed in shock and instinctively tightened her grip around Ning Zhe's arm.

Ning Zhe frowned slightly in pain.

Ye Xin panicked and hurriedly let go of Ning Zhe's arm. Then, she said, "Daddy, you can't call the police. Didn't we agree that calling the police isn't beneficial to the Ning family? I don't want to embarrass the family any more than I already did."

Ning Zhe said solemnly, "Silly girl, what's there to be embarrassed about? You're Mu Chen's legitimate wife, and yet, he's so ruthless to you. Hence, there's no need for us to show mercy. Otherwise, you'll lose everything if this continues. If we lodge a report, at least we can save your reputation. With that, when you get a divorce, your pre-marital assets will be preserved. Have you forgotten what your mother taught you? You have to know when to cut your losses."

Ye Xin was rendered speechless by these words. Her mind was racing as she hastily said, "Daddy, don't call the police just yet. Let me think of other ways. I'll definitely come up with a solution."
