596: Observant

Observant

After sending the Yin family away, Mu Chen said unhappily, "Grandma, how can you be so polite to them? With their behavior, you should just chase them out immediately. To think they wanted to give us money to chase Cheng Che away! Let alone the fact that Cheng Che's 28 years old now, this kind of behavior isn't appropriate even if Cheng Che were 28 months old!"1

Jiang Jin looked at Mu Chen and asked, "What's wrong with Cheng Che?"

Mu Chen, who was caught off guard, was at a loss for words. "H-he, he's busy!"

Jiang Jin looked at Mu Chen pointedly.

Mu Chen feigned innocence and said helplessly, "Grandma, I already said he's busy. What's wrong?"

Jiang Jin said, "Earlier, when you said he was busy for the first time, it was clear that you thought up the excuse beforehand. The second time, it was even clearer that it was just an excuse. In any case, I'm sure Cheng Che isn't busy. Where's he?"

Mu Chen looked defeated as he said, "Grandma, do you have to be so observant? I really can't hide anything from you."

Jiang Jin glared at him and asked, "So? Spit it out. What happened to Cheng Che?"

Mu Chen held Jiang Jin's arm as he tried to calmly say, "We, two monkeys, really can't hide anything from Grandma. Alright, don't be anxious. Cheng Che met with a minor car accident so he's staying in the hospital for observation."

Jiang Jin was shocked. She rose to her feet immediately and asked, "When did this happen? Where's he injured? Is it serious? Which hospital is staying in? Bring me to see him."

Mu Chen tugged Jiang Jin's hand gently as he said, "Grandma, I told you not to worry. If he was seriously injured, would I be so relaxed now?"

Jiang Jin looked at Mu Chen.

Mu Chen continued to say, "He's really fine. He's just staying there for observation. I'm not lying. Moreover, Jiahui is there with him."

Jiang Jin looked at Mu Chen with a scrutinizing gaze, and Mu Chen did not dare to blink at all as he said, "He was distracted and ran the red light. At the intersection, a car ran into his car. However, his car is sturdy, and he's fine. He's just a little dizzy. The doctor said he didn't have a concussion, and it's normal to feel dizzy for a day or two. Don't worry. Both Song Ning and Jiahui are with him. Believe me, Grandma."

Jiang Jin sighed in relief. If Cheng Che was in serious danger, Mu Chen would not hide it from her. After a moment, she asked, "Why was he distracted?"

Before Mu Chen could reply, realization dawned on Jiang Jin. She asked, "The Yin family found him first? That's not right. If they found him first, Yin Bin wouldn't have had such an attitude earlier."

Mu Chen said, filled with admiration, "Grandma, you can really see through everything? Can you teach me how to do that?"

Jiang Jin rolled her eyes. "Haven't you heard that the older you are, the wiser you'll become? When you live to my age, you'll naturally be wiser…"

The pair of grandmother and grandson looked at each other and smiled.

After that, Mu Chen said in a low voice, "Grandma, Cheng Che's sister went to Zhuang Ji to look for him. She asked him if he wanted to return to the family with her or if he preferred to wait until the Yin family asks you for his return. Cheng Che was afraid that you'll be angered by them so he hurriedly drove him. It was at that time that he got distracted and ran the red light. Grandma, Cheng Che doesn't want to return to the Yin family. In fact, he doesn't even want to see them."

Jiang Jin nodded. She was well aware of the temperament of the child she raised.

"Grandma, why didn't you directly reject the Yin family? What kind of words did they say earlier? They're really…" Mu Chen trailed off. He swallowed the words that were hanging on the tip of his tongue.

Jiang Jin glanced at Mu Chen and said with a sigh, "This is Cheng Che's fate. Mu Chen, Cheng Che needs to face this matter on his own. Although the Yin family seems simple, it's likely not the case. If we help Cheng Che, I'm afraid their next move will be even more powerful."
