Jiang Jin did not regain her senses until Mu Chen and Cheng Che had left.

Uncle Jiang wiped the tears from his eyes and said to Jiang Jin, “Old Madam, I’m going to inform Master about this…”

Jiang Jin pulled Uncle Jiang back. “Ah Jiang, did Mu Chen really say he’ll allow his father to join us for the new year?”

Uncle Jiang nodded with a smile on his face. “That’s right, Old Madam. Young Master said to invite Master back for the new year…”

“Is it really true?” Jiang Jin looked at Sister Yu.

Sister Yu nodded with tears in her eyes.

Jiang Jin was in a daze.

At this moment, Song Ning called out softly, “Grandma.”

Jiang Jin grabbed Song Ning’s hand. “Song Ning, it was you who convinced him, right? You’re such a good child.”

Song Ning smiled. She lowered her head shyly and said, “Grandma, Mu Chen figured it out on his own. It has nothing to do with me. All I said was when we have a child in the future, he’s not allowed to betray me and the child…”

Jiang Jin tightened her grip on Song Ning’s hand; she was too happy that she did not know what to say.

Song Ning asked with a smile, “Grandma, what else do you need to prepare? We need to hurry…”

Jiang Jin nodded happily. “That’s right, that’s right. Ah Yu, quickly prepare snacks, fruits, and vegetables that Mu Qing likes. Buy more of them!”

Sister Yu reassured Jiang Jin that she would do as instructed before she left to make preparations.

Following that, Jiang Jin pulled Song Ning to sit on the couch in the living room. She sighed, clearly still worried, as she asked, “Did Mu Chen tell you everything?”

Song Ning nodded. “He told me a few things.”

Jiang Jin sighed. “Mu Qing was completely at fault regarding that matter. I feel really sorry for Liang Zhen; her life was too bitter. Her entire life was ruined by our family. Mu Qing’s at fault for forcing her to the point of no return. I don’t blame Mu Chen for being unable to forgive his father. In fact, Mu Chen’s the one who suffered the most from that matter. It’s too difficult for him to forgive his father…”

Song Ning sighed. Jiang Jin was righteous, and she pitied Liang Zhen.

At Zhuang Ji.

Song Ning had come over to pick a few handkerchiefs for Jiang Jin because Jiang Jin wanted to use them as gifts.

She recognized Liang Zhou at once when she saw Liang Zhou sitting in the lounge area. To be precise, she recognized Liang Zhou because of her resemblance to Liang Zhen.

Liang Zhou did not seem surprised when she saw Song Ning. Instead, she smiled amicably and asked, “Hello, can we talk?”

After Song Ning took a seat across from Liang Zhou, Liang Zhou did not beat around the bush and said with a smile, “I know you. I saw the opening ceremony of the film festival. I didn’t expect Mu Chen to marry the female lead of Yi Yao in the end.”

Although the smile looked friendly, Song Ning could not help but feel ill at ease.

“Mu Qing told me we were invited to go home for the new year. Ah Jiang said it’s all thanks to the Young Madam. Therefore, I thought I should say thank you…”

Song Ning said politely, “I really didn’t do anything. It’s all between Mu Chen and Grandma…”

Liang Zhou smiled. “I think I know better than you what everyone in that family is like. I’m sure an outsider like you must have said something. Otherwise, they wouldn’t have changed their minds…”

Song Ning remained silent.

A bitter smile appeared on Liang Zhou’s face as she said, “They must have said a lot of bad things about me. They probably said I harmed Liang Zhen, stole her happiness, and that I’m a bad woman, right?”

Song Ning did not know how to reply to those words so she chose to remain silent.

At this moment, tears were already brimming in Liang Zhou’s eyes. She said with a sigh, “They all made up their minds about me so hastily. However, is there anyone who’s truly innocent? What can I do if Mu Qing likes me? He said he wasn’t happy with Liang Zhen. In the end, my heart softened, and I agreed to be with him. I didn’t do it intentionally nor did I have any malicious thoughts. I was in pain as well; I didn’t want to destroy Liang Zhen’s marriage. However, Mu Qing and I have a long history. There’s nothing I could do since he chose me...”

Liang Zhou continued to say in a self-pitying manner, “Fate has always been mysterious. Although they’ve been together for so many years and even have a child together, as soon as I appeared, Mu Qing immediately realized it was no love between him and Liang Zhen. It has nothing to do with me, and it wasn’t my fault…”

Song Ning felt flames of fury rose in her heart upon hearing these words. She felt angry on behalf of Liang Zhen, Mu Chen, and Jiang Jin. Even if she was unaware of this matter, just hearing Liang Zhou airing out her grievances so pretentiously made her feel incredibly disgusted.

Liang Zhou casually took a piece of tissue from the table and wiped the corner of his eyes.

Song Ning paid no attention to Liang Zhou’s tears. She thought to herself that no wonder Liang Zhen was no match for Liang Zhou; Liang Zhou was such an amazing actor.

Liang Zhou continued to say, “Song Ning, I came to look for you today with no ulterior motives. I hope you won’t misunderstand me and treat me like a wicked woman like the others. I’m really not like that. In fact, I’m a very sentimental person; that’s why I fell in love with Mu Qing. I really had no choice…”

Despite the many words Liang Zhou said, they all meant one thing: I’m innocent; Mu Qing was the one who chose me.. I only followed my heart and chose love. I’m not in the wrong!
