Sir, How About A Marriage?

Chapter 153 - Homecoming

Chapter 153: Homecoming

In the afternoon.

At this moment, Mr. Jiang, the butler, hurried in and called out, “Old Madam, Old Madam!”

Jiang Jin was with Sister Yu, going through the gift list with her reading glasses. When she heard Mr. Jiang, she looked up and asked, “What’s wrong? Is something on fire? Why are you so anxious?”

Mr. Jiang took a moment to calm down before he said, “Old Madam, look who’s back!”

When Jiang Jin looked to the side, she saw a middle-aged couple holding hands, standing at the entrance.

The man and Mu Chen looked like two peas in a pod. The only difference was the man was a lot older. The wrinkles on his face told of the passing of time and the vicissitudes of life.

The woman was slender and pretty. At this moment, she wore a gentle but timid smile on her face.

Jiang Jin rose to her feet immediately; her body trembled.

Sister Yu hurriedly stepped forward to support her. “OId Madam.”

Jiang Jin took off her reading glasses and took a few steps forward. She was not dreaming; her son, Mu Qing, whom she thought about day and night was standing in front of her.

Mu Qing took a few steps forward before he fell to his knees. “Mother!”

Tears streamed down Jiang Jin’s face as she slowly walked forward. She bent down and cupped her son’s face as she studied him carefully.

“Mother, I’m an unfilial child!” Mu Qing said softly as he looked at Jiang Jin.

Jiang Jin looked at her son intently for a moment before she straightened her back. She turned around and calmly said, “Ah Jiang, arrange a room for them in a hotel.”

“Madam!” Sister Yu felt distressed for Jiang Jin. After all, she knew how Jiang Jin felt.

Liang Zhou, who was standing at the entrance, walked over and kneeled on the ground next to Mu Qing as well.

Jiang Jin did not turn around as she said lightly, “Alright, go…”

Mu Qing sounded teary as he said, “Mother, I brought Little Zhou back for the new year…”

Jiang Jin tried her best to control her emotions before she said, “Go. Mu Chen should be home soon… He’s married now…”

Mu Qing’s tears finally streamed down his face.

Liang Zhou said softly, “Mother, we just want to spend the new year with you. When we heard the Mu Chen has gotten married and has a family of his own, we thought perhaps, the knot in his heart has loosened as well…” After a brief pause, she continued to say, “It’s fine if we have to apologize to him and his wife. We just want to reunite as a family. You’re getting old in age, and Mu Qing has missed you much over the years. Mother, he’s your only son after all…”

Jiang Jin’s body trembled slightly. Despite trying her best to suppress her emotions, she could no longer hold back her tears.

Sister Yu supported Jiang Jin and said in a soft voice, “Old Madam, why don’t we let Master stay? With the Young Madam around, Young Master should be more patient…”

Jiang Jin did not know what to say.

At this moment, Mu Qing kowtowed and cried out, “Mother, I’m sorry.”

Liang Zhou quickly followed suit and kowtowed as well.

Mr. Jiang could not bear it and stepped forward to persuade Jiang Jin, “Old Madam, why don’t we let Master stay? We’ll ask the Young Madam to speak the Young Master…”

Jiang Jin turned around and said through her tears, “Don’t use Song Ning to pressure Mu Chen. I don’t want this to affect their relationship!” She took the piece of tissue Sister Yu handed her and wiped her years away before she said, “Get up!”

Mu Qing hesitated for a moment but did not dare to disobey his mother. He pulled Liang Zhou up as well.

Jiang Jin did not even spare Liang Zhou a glance as she said to her son, “I can’t allow you to stay. The matter between you and your son should be dealt with by both of you. I didn’t intervene in the past, and I won’t intervene now.”

Mu Qing lowered his head.

Jiang Jin sighed. Her heart could not help but soften as she looked at her son. “He’s married now, and he has a good relationship with his wife. However, I won’t allow anyone to use his wife to pressure him. You have to take responsibility for your mistakes. Don’t expect others to help you, understand?”

Mu Qing nodded gently.

At the same time, Liang Zhou said softly, “Mother, Mu Qing misses you very much!”

However, Jiang Jin did not look at her nor did she respond to her.
