After saying that, Ye Xin smiled coquettishly and asked, “Isn’t that right, Grandma? Do you agree with me being an independent woman?”

Jiang Jin only smiled in response; she did not reply to the question. Instead, she turned to Liang Zhou and asked, “Aren’t you going to go upstairs to have a look at the baby?”

Liang Zhou was overjoyed and flattered upon hearing these words. “I’ll go now.”

Jiang Jin nodded as Liang Zhou happily made her way upstairs.

Ye Xin pouted. “Grandma, you’re biased toward her!”

Jiang Jin sighed before she said with a smile, “Song Ning, no matter what, she’s your elder.”

Ye Xin’s expression turned rather unsightly when she heard these words. “Grandma, didn’t you use to dislike her in the past?”

Jiang Jin’s smile slowly vanished as she said, “Whether I like her or not is my business. She’s still my son’s wife. As long as my son likes her, it’s fine. I’m old now, and Mu Chen already has a child of his own. I think he’ll gradually understand the heart of a father. I think he and his father will reconcile one day. Hence, there’s no reason for me to be harsh with Liang Zhou anymore. Moreover, I can’t deny that she’s been faithful to Mu Qing all these years. Song Ning, the most important thing is to have a sense of propriety. No one likes a woman who doesn’t have a sense of propriety.”

Ye Xin lowered her eyes guiltily. After a long while, she asked, “Grandma, do you think Mu Chen will reconcile with his father?”

Jiang Jin smiled faintly as she replied, “Who knows? However, if they do, what are you going to do, Song Ning? Hence, you have to maintain a good relationship with Mu Qing and Liang Zhou. Otherwise, it would be awkward. I see that you’ve warmed up to Mu Qing previously. However, your treatment of Liang Zhou is a little... bad. I advise you to rethink your attitude toward her.”

Ye Xin clenched her hands. Many thoughts raced through her mind at this moment, but in the end, she still said with great reluctance, “I don’t like her...”

Jiang Jin’s expression turned cold.

Ye Xin said through gritted teeth, “She’s the one who caused Mu Chen to lose his mother and destroy his family. I don’t like her. No, I hate her!”

Jiang Jin looked at Ye Xin in confusion and said, “I remember you were very warm to both of them after you’ve just given birth. Don’t tell me this change is also due to your hormone change after labor? It’s impossible for all your changes to be from your postpartum hormone change, right?”

Ye Xin was at a loss for words.

Jiang Jin continued to say, “Song Ning, you’re Mu Chen’s wife. I hope you’ll remember this and not do anything that will embarrass Mu Chen. Otherwise, no one will be able to protect you.”

Ye Xin was shocked. Jiang Jin had never spoken to her in this tone before. She could not help the sudden chill that permeated her heart.

...

Liang Zhou looked to the left and the right when she arrived at the corridor upstairs. After determining no one was around, she hurriedly went into Mu Chen and Ye Xin’s bedroom and made a beeline for the bathroom.

The bathroom was very neat.

Liang Zhou’s gaze fell on a toothbrush. It was the only one in the bathroom. Since she knew Mu Chen and Ye Xin were sleeping separately, she knew without a doubt that the toothbrush belonged to Ye Xin. She was about to take the toothbrush when she saw a few strands of hair tangled in the bristles of a hairbrush. Overjoyed, she brought out a small bag that she had prepared beforehand and put a few strands of hair into it.

When Liang Zhou exited the bathroom, she heard Ye Xin speaking to one of the helpers outside. Her heart began to pound in her chest due to her nervousness. When the door was suddenly pushed open, she felt as though her heart had stopped beating.

“Baby wants to see Mommy and Daddy’s room so let’s have a look,” Sister Yu gently said to the baby as she walked into the room. She did not seem surprised to see Liang Zhou. Instead, she held the baby’s hand and said, “Let Grandma Zhou tell Baby what’s in the room...”

Liang Zhou’s palms were clammy.. Although she felt like a fool, she was relieved.
