Sir, How About A Marriage?

Chapter 217: United Hearts

Liang Zhou happily busied herself with the process of getting Mu Qing discharged. She was immersed in her dream of returning to the Mu family with Mu Qing and becoming the matriarch of the Mu family.

…

At this time, Mu Chen carefully helped Song Ning lie on the hospital bed. He asked gently, “Are you tired?”

Song Ning shook her head. “Will your method work?”

Mu Chen held her hand as he softly said, “In fact, I hope it doesn’t work. I hope people will be kind; I hope that familial love isn’t just a fairy tale. Nevertheless, hope is just that; hope. People are greedy, after all. Song Ning, to be honest, I’m not in a good mood…”

Song Ning tightened her grip around Mu Chen’s hand and said, “I understand what you mean. You’ve given them a chance to choose; how they choose is out of your control. Don’t be sad, Mu Chen. This time, the big wave that’s coming will be good for you and the Mu family. Look at Grandma; she has suffered more than you, but she’s still so strong. Since you’re the head of the Mu family, you’ll have more to bear on your shoulders compared to others…”

Mu Chen held Song Ning’s hand against his cheek and said, “Fortunately, I have you by my side.”

Song Ning only smiled warmly at him.

“In the next few days, people might come and disturb you. I’m afraid the rumors out there aren’t that good either,” Mu Chen said. He sighed. “I’m sorry it’s been so hard on you…”

Song Ning smiled and shook her head. “I’ve been lying here every day, just eating, drinking, sleeping, and writing my thesis without any distractions. What’s so hard about that? You have to thank Professor and Jiahui; they helped me with a lot of things…”

Mu Chen smiled and nodded. “Don’t worry, I won’t mistreat them. Those who treat us well will be rewarded. This is what Grandma taught me.”

Song Ning stopped smiling. “You have to look after Grandma. The person who’s most upset should be Grandma. However, she suppressed all her emotions for you; this is very harmful to her health. I can’t be by her side all the time now so you have to keep an eye on her…”

Mu Chen nodded, upset. This was what hurt him the most, seeing his Grandma do so much for his sake.

In fact, the current situation was the last thing he wanted to see. If possible, he wished he could push this day to 100 years from now. He had no choice but to clean up the Mu family. He could do nothing and his grandmother could do nothing, but those ghosts and demons in the Mu family could not wait and began to act, forcing him to move his hand.

Before his father returned, he had already mobilized his hidden support in the Mu family and began to prepare in different small ways.

In the beginning, he had Cheng Che monitoring his father’s movements. However, it was too tiring to deal with the matter that way.

He did not expect his father could no longer endure it and return to the country. It was destined that the war without smoke had begun ahead of time with his father’s sudden return.

His father knew that his grandmother was his weakness so his father used his grandmother as a shield. Mu Chen knew this and so did his grandmother.

To his grandmother, both her son and grandson were important. Regardless of the outcome, her heart was already riddled with wounds when her son used her to attack her grandson.

His father did not care, but he cared. Because he cared, the price he had to pay was destined to be higher than his father’s.

He hoped that he would be able to solve all his problems in one go this time because he did not want to hurt his grandmother anymore. With her age and her health, she could not continue to exhaust herself both physically and mentally.

After a while, Mu Chen straightened his back and tried to regain his spirit, dismissing all distracting thoughts. Now, he not only had his grandmother, but he also had Song Ning and their child. He also had his brother, Cheng Che. He was their armor, and it was his responsibility to protect them. The heavier the burden on his shoulders, the more it would stimulate his potential. Moreover, with his mother watching over him in heaven, he was even more determined not to let her down.
