The change in everyone’s expressions was too drastic. All traces of smiles and happiness vanished without a trace immediately.
The baby silently looked to the left and right with his big eyes as though he could sense the shift in the atmosphere. He quietly lifted his hands and gnawed on them again.
Mu Chen gently pulled the baby’s hands away and said, “Be good. You can gnaw on your hands.”
The baby was clearly unwilling, whining to show his dissatisfaction.
Mu Chen gently patted the baby’s bottom and said, “Be obedient.”
The baby seemed to listen to Mu Chen this time around and no longer gnawed on his hands. His attention seemed to focus on the buttons on Mu Chen’s shirt now.
Jiang Jin shifted her gaze away from the baby to Mu Qing who was sitting on her left. She asked, “How come you have time to visit? How’s Liang Zhou?”
Mu Qing quickly said, “Liang Zhou is much better now. She urged to come over to accompany Mother and to visit the baby. She misses him very much.”
Jiang Jin asked slowly, “Did she tell you how she got hurt?”
Mu Qing’s hand that was holding the teacup froze briefly. He did not raise his head as he said, “She did. However, I think Song Ning didn’t do that on purpose, right?”
Then, Mu Qing turned to Mu Chen and said pointedly, “It’s just a young couple’s quarrel. You’re too impulsive. Fortunately, Liang Zhou was there at that time. Otherwise, who knows what the consequences would be?”
Mu Chen looked at Mu Qing silently, ignoring him. Then, with the baby in his arms, he turned to go upstairs.
Mu Qing stopped Mu Chen as he continued to say, “Mu Chen, I’m saying this for your good. Song Ning is your wife. You can’t ignore her after she gives birth to your son. How can you break her heart when she’s the mother of your son? Moreover, you’re now the head of the Mu family. You have to think about the Mu family’s reputation as well. How bad would it be if news of her getting drunk spread?”
Mu Chen sneered. “Are you lecturing me?”
Mu Qing only glared at Mu Chen.
Mu Chen handed the baby over to Sister Yu before he took a seat across from Mu Qing. Then, he said icily, “Hasn’t the Mu family’s reputation been tarnished a long time ago? What’s a divorce compared to what happened in the past?”
Mu Qing was furious. “Mother, look at his attitude. I sent my daughter-in-law back and tried to advise him, but look at how he’s acting. I just want them to live happily. He’s a father now. How can he not understand me?”
Mu Chen raised his voice and said, “What do you want me to understand? Understand that you cheated after becoming a father?”
Mu Qing was rendered speechless by these words. After a long time, he finally said, “Didn’t you do the same? Song Ning said you have another woman outside. That’s why she quarreled with you two days ago and almost hurt the baby. You didn’t even look after her after she left.”
Mu Chen said at a neither slow nor fast pace, “She told you everything? Wasn’t she drunk? Did she drink while she complained to you?”
Mu Chen’s attitude made Mu Qing very uncomfortable. He really felt that his son was his enemy.
At this moment, Mr. Jiang came into the house and said, “Old Madam, Chairman Ning is here to visit you. He’s waiting by the entrance.”
Jiang Jin raised an eyebrow. “Ning Zhe?”
Everyone was also rather surprised.
Jiang Jin said, “Bring him in.” Then, she turned to Mu Chen and Mu Qing before she said, “Enough. You dare to bring up such things? I feel ashamed and embarrassed listening to your conversation.”
Ning Zhe brought Ning Dong and Su Tong with him.
Jiang Jin greeted them politely but was clearly reserved.
Ning Zhe did not seem to mind. He greeted Mu Chen and Mu Qing before he sat down..
