Ye Xin was stunned. She did not expect Liang Zhou to be present and to also overhear her false accusation.

Jiang Jin only glanced at Ye Xin before walking away without saying anything.

Similarly, Liang Zhou looked at Ye Xin before she hurried after Jiang Jin.

Ye Xin felt as though she could not breathe.

At this moment, Liang Zhou, who had caught up to Jiang Jin, said anxiously, “Old Madam, I really didn’t call the Young Madam nor did I say…”

Jiang Jin interjected, “Your phone is with the baby. I know he likes playing with it and doesn’t want to return it to you. Let A Jiang buy you a new one later…”

Liang Zhou smiled and quickly said, “There’s no need for that. I’m very idle, and I don’t have many friends. The phone isn’t of much use to me…”

Jiang Jin said in a tone that brooked no argument, “Even then, you still have to have a phone. Otherwise, how will I contact you.”

Liang Zhou no longer said anything. Previously, she had changed the case of her phone. There was a picture of a puppy on it so the baby was fascinated by it. Upon seeing this, she disinfected the phone thoroughly before she finally felt at ease and gave her phone to the baby to play with. After that, she had been helping Sister Yu with the chores so she did not even have a chance to touch her phone. Who would have thought Ye Xin would tell such a clumsy lie? With this thought in mind, she could barely suppress the smile that threatened to bloom on her face.

Jiang Jin did not stop walking as she asked, “Has Yu given you the name list for the party?”

“She did,” Liang Zhou hastily replied.

Suddenly, Jiang Jin said indifferently, “You should start a business of your own. A woman should have her own earnings. You’ve been with Mu Qing for so many years; you’re too selfless. You don’t even have a child. What are you going to do in the future? I’ll give you a week. Think about what kind of business you’d like to start and write a report for me.”

Upon hearing these words, Liang Zhou’s legs weakened, and she almost fell to her knees. She said in a trembling voice, “T-thank you, Old Madam.”

Jiang Jin said, “Go and have a look at the baby. Yu is busy, and Nuan is looking after him alone. He might be cranky now.”

“Yes!” Liang Zhou said.

After Jiang Jin vanished from sight, Liang Zhou supported herself to sit on a chair by the corridor. She tried to calm her heart down. It felt as though her heart was about to leap out of her chest. Based on Jiang Jin’s words, it seemed like Jiang Jin planned to help her start her own business so she would have something to rely on in her old age. She really wanted to cry tears of joy at this moment but had no choice but to suppress them for now. She knew this was not the place for her to cry.

She was even more excited to see the baby now. She thought he was her lucky star. Initially, she thought she would lose everything after giving up on Mu Qing. However, not only did Mu Chen give her a villa, but Jiang Jin was even going to help her start a business. She had saved the baby’s life once, and she was determined to protect him for the rest of his life. At this time, she felt as though her body was filled with unprecedented strength.

…

Ye Xin made her way upstairs. She felt as though her heart was being gnawed on by ants. She did not know what to do or how to smooth things over.

At this moment, she was taken aback when she heard Mu Chen’s laughter. She thought she was hearing things; she had never heard Mu Chen laugh before since the day she met him. At most, he would smile perfunctorily. His cold expression was the default.

When she confirmed it was indeed Mu Chen, she looked in the direction where the laughter came from and discovered it came from Jiang Jin’s room. Since Jiang Jin and Liang Zhou were in the garden, it was likely Mu Chen was playing with the baby.

Ye Xin tiptoed to Jiang Jin’s room and gently pushed the door open.

The baby and Mu Chen seemed to be having a great time. Since the baby began to learn how to sit and crawl, there was never a dull moment in the house. Moreover, the baby was really healthy and energetic.

Fortunately, A Nuan was young and had good stamina. Otherwise, Jiang Jin and Sister Yu would not have been able to keep up with the baby.

The baby’s memory was very good as well. He had already begun to recognize and remember people. In fact, he seemed to like his father whom he did not see often the best. As long as he heard his father’s voice, he would struggle to leave A Nuan’s arms.

Before the baby went to sleep, Mu Chen would also make time to play with the baby.
