Jiang Jin did not get angry. Instead, she said kindly and gently, “Song Ning, Grandma and Yu are old. A Nuan helps us with the physical work such as carrying the baby. She’s very honest and straight. We’ve told her that she only needs to focus on caring for the baby. She’s very mature and obedient. Most importantly, she’s very sincere when caring for the baby. She’s the most suitable candidate to care for the baby…”
Ye Xin could not let the matter go. She said indignantly, “She still shouldn’t have ignored me.”
Jiang Jin smiled. “It’s not just you. She ignores Mu Chen as well. I’ve told her that apart from Yu and me, no one’s allowed to touch the baby, and she took this very seriously since I told her I’d fire her if she doesn’t do a good job.” She paused briefly before she continued to say, “She takes her job so seriously that she doesn’t even let Mu Chen touch the baby. It’s not surprising that she ignored you. Listen, we have many staff members in the house so we don’t know if any of them harbors ill intentions. This baby is our treasure. If anything happens to him, what are we going to do?”
Jiang Jin looked at Ye Xin with a burning gaze, causing goosebumps to rise on her skin. She hurriedly forced a smile on her face and said, “Grandma, I was wrong. I was too rash earlier and lost control of my emotions… It’s not my intention to do so…”
Jiang Jin smiled and looked away before she said, “It’s fine. I know you’re just worried about the baby. You’re his mother, after all. However, as someone with experience, I want to tell you that even if you love him, you can’t be too attached to him. A family like ours isn’t suitable to raise a child who’s always attached to his mother. Hence, it’s necessary to maintain a distance when the child is young. Do you remember that we spoke about this before you gave birth?”
Ye Xin quickly nodded. “Of course, I remember, Grandma. That’s why I left the baby under your care. I have to force myself not to see him all the time because I’m afraid he’ll get too attached to me in the future. Fortunately, you’re taking care of him so I feel less worried.”
After saying these words, Ye Xin leaned against Jiang Jin affectionately. “Grandma, you’re the treasure of our family. It’s because of you that Mu Chen and I are so happy.”
Jiang Jin patted her shoulder and said, “Alright. You were out for quite a while; are you tired? Go rest after you take a bath…”
Ye Xin rose to her feet immediately. “Okay, I’ll listen to Grandma.”
Ye Xin walked out without even looking at the baby.
Sister Yu looked at Ye Xin’s back, perplexed. “Old Madam…”
“Yu, tell A Nuan to bring the baby back into the room.” Jiang Jin interjected.
Sister Yu swallowed the words hanging at the tip of her tongue and went to get A Nuan.
…
Mu Chen’s body was cold when he saw the man who alighted from the car.
Mr. Jiang was in shock as well. “M-Mr. Mu?”
When Mu Chen finally regained his senses, he said, “Let’s go home.”
“Yes, Young Master.” Mr. Jiang no longer said anything as he started the car.
Mu Chen leaned back against the seat and rubbed his temples. He felt his heart grow cold.
‘Song Ning, I’m sorry I implicated you with my matters. If you didn’t marry me, you wouldn’t have to suffer… Please be safe. You must wait for me to find you. Please forgive me for the baby’s sake. Please forgive me for the pain I’ve caused you…”
Mr. Jiang looked at Mu Chen quietly through the rearview mirror and could not help but sigh inwardly.. He wondered to himself, ‘How can there be a father like that? How can he do such a thing to his son? How can he be so heartless?’
