Pengpeng was perplexed. “I thought you missed the baby?”
Song Ning lowered her gaze as she said, “The baby is very safe now. Since Grandma is taking care of him, there’s nothing to worry about. Moreover, from the looks of it, their target isn’t the baby so there’s no need to worry about him.”
“What about the Mu family?” Xiao Peng asked.
Song Ning said, “Something is going on. Mu Qing and Liang Zhen are appearing so frequently at the Mu family house, which is unusual. Apart from that, everyone in the family knows that I’m terrible at business management, and I have no interest in managing a business at all. Grandma has never once pushed me to manage Zhuang Ji. She had always said I should do what makes me happy. However, why did she bring that fake Song Ning to Zhuang Ji?”
Pengpeng nodded as she chewed her food. Then, as though she had just recalled something, she brought her phone out again and pulled up a picture before handing it to Song Ning. “I almost forgot. Sister, look at this. That fake Song Ning went to visit Ning Zhe!”
Song Ning froze slightly. In the picture, Ning Zhe and the fake Song Ning sat across from each other. Based on Ning Zhe’s expression, it was not difficult to tell that the conversation between the duo was going well. Otherwise, Ning Zhe’s expression would not be so happy.
Song Ning frowned. “Is their target Zhuang Ji?”
Pengpeng and Ning Zhe looked at each other in confusion. “Who?”
Song Ning did not respond immediately. Her mind was racing as she chewed her food. After a moment, she finally said in a low voice, “The fake Song Ning and Ning Zhe. Ning Zhe has always coveted the trademark of the embroidery manual that my mother left behind. He proposed cooperation with Zhuang Ji many times before, but I refused him. Even the Fu family and Ye family covet Zhuang Ji. Before I met Mu Chen, Zhuang Ji was on the verge of closing down. In hindsight, those people must have been waiting to buy Zhuang Ji at the last minute. They probably did not expect Mu Chen and Cheng Che to swoop in and save Zhuang Ji. That’s why they had to resort to seeking cooperation with me. Mu Chen and Cheng Che knew everyone’s eyeing Zhuang Ji so they guarded it carefully.”
Pengpeng was taken aback. “Then what should we do now? That fake Song Ning has already begun to interfere with Zhuang Ji’s affairs.”
Song Ning remained silent. She was unable to figure out what was happening as well. The fake Song Ning had expended so much effort to join the Mu family; was it all for Zhuang Ji? Were there other reasons? Or were they planning to start with Zhuang Ji and slowly take over the Mu Corporation? However, Zhuang Ji and the Mu Corporation had nothing to do with each other. Previously, Jiang Jin was adamant that Zhuang Ji belonged to Song Ning alone; Jiang Jin had said it was Song Ning’s dowry. Moreover, the Mu family had no need for such a small business. Although Mu Chen and Cheng Che were helping her to run Zhuang Ji, Zhuang Ji belonged to her alone. Zhuang Ji would never be a part of the Mu family’s assets, and if she wanted, she could leave it to her child in the future.
Mu Chen and Cheng Che had been very meticulous in managing Zhuang Ji. Every staff member was carefully scrutinized to ensure everything would go smoothly.
Song Ning had left Zhuang Ji’s management to Mu Chen, Cheng Che, and Jiang Jin completely. She felt grateful that she did not have to give up the business that her mother had put her heart into.
No matter how Song Ning thought about it, she could not figure out why Jiang Jin would suddenly bring the fake Song Ning to Zhuang Ji. In her opinion, if the fake Song Ning voiced out her intention to run Zhuang Ji, based on Jiang Jin’s intelligence, Jiang Jin would know that something was amiss. No matter how a person changed, there would still be traces of one’s former self. Since Jiang Jin brought the fake Song Ning to Zhuang Ji, did it mean that Jiang Jin had already noticed something was amiss and had plans of her own?
With these thoughts in mind, Song Ning felt slightly relieved. Perhaps, things were not as bad as she had imagined them to be..
