Sir, How About A Marriage?

Chapter 66: Touched

It was already rather late when Song Ning and Mu Chen got home, but Jiang Jin was still waiting for them.

Upon seeing this, Song Ning could not help but feel guilty.

Mu Chen said, “Grandma, it’s so late now, why aren’t you resting? We had work to do earlier. We tend to lose track of time when we’re busy. Don’t wait up for us next time, okay?”

Jiang Jin held Song Ning’s hand and replied to Mu Chen, “It’s fine. Elderly people don’t need much sleep anyway. I just want to see both of you so I feel at ease.” Then, she asked Song Ning, “Ning, have you had dinner? Mu Chen is made from iron so it’s not difficult for him to stay up for a few nights in a row. However, you’re a girl. You have to make sure you don’t tire yourself out by overworking, understand?”

Song Ning’s heart was warmed by Jiang Jin’s concern.

Mu Chen looked at the duo with a smile. He was very happy to see their harmonious relationship.

At this moment, Song Ning bit her lower lip as though she had made up her mind. Following that, she looked at Jiang Jin and said, “Grandma, there’s something I want to tell you…”

Although Jiang Jin was slightly taken aback, she was filled with joy. “What is it? Tell me! I’ll do anything for you. I only have one precious granddaughter-in-law, after all. Even if you want the stars and the moon, I’ll try to get them for you!”

Song Ning was both amused and touched by Jiang Jin’s words. “Grandma, there’s something I want to tell you; it’s about me. I didn’t say anything before this because I didn’t think it was important.”

Song Ning told Jiang Jin she was Ning Xia and briefly recounted the past to Jiang Jin.

Jiang Jin and Yu could not stop sighing as they listened to Song Ning.

After Song Ning finished speaking, Jiang Jin hugged Song Ning and patted Song Ning’s back. “Poor child. You must have suffered a lot in the past years. If only we’d known about you earlier.”

After pulling away from the hug, Jiang Jin wiped away the tears from her eyes and held Song Ning’s hand as she solemnly promised, “Song Ning, forget those unhappy things. Grandma won’t let you suffer anymore. No one’s allowed to bully my granddaughter-in-law!”

After saying that, Jiang Jin turned to look at Mu Chen who was sitting across from her. “Not even my grandson is allowed to bully you! Remember this; from now on, you’ll always have my support!”

Mu Chen smiled with a hint of helplessness and amusement as he said, “Song Ning, you have to be like Grandma. When she was your age, she was very fierce. No one dared to provoke her at all.”

Song Ning felt that Jiang Jin did not understand the reason she had said all these words. Jiang Jin was more focused on the hardships she had been through and did not think of anything else. Therefore, she reminded Jiang Jin, “Grandma, if the relatives find out about this matter and use them to anger you in the future, please don’t be angry. I didn’t mean to hide it from you.”

Song Ning had met the relatives of the Mu family, after all. It was not impossible for them to do such things.

Jiang Jin said angrily, “Silly child, you and your mother are so outstanding. I’m very proud of you. Don’t worry, I won’t be angered by those irrelevant people.” Then, she glanced at her grandson and said, “Mu Chen, you have to work hard! Once you have enough power, no one will dare to bully us!”

Mu Chen moved to sit next to Jiang Jin and said, “Alright, I’ll definitely work hard. Both of you are the two women I love most in my life. It’s late now. Let’s rest, alright?”

After saying that, Mu Chen used an arm to hug his grandmother while his other hand rested on Song Ning’s shoulder.

Yu who was standing at the side was so moved when she saw this loving scene that tears began to brim in her eyes.

…

When Yu helped Jiang Jin into bed, Jiang Jin could not help but sigh. “Those two children… They really had a hard life…”

Yu said, “Although Young Lady had suffered a lot in the past, her future will only be filled with blessings now that she entered our Mu family.”

Jiang Jin shook her head and said, “It’s not so simple. As long as I’m around, those in the Mu family won’t be able to stir up much trouble. However, Mu Chen still has a knot in his heart. Is he really not going to see his father again? I’m afraid something will happen sooner or later. Moreover, Ning’s background is, indeed, a little complicated. I’m worried the Ning family won’t let this matter rest. Those two children are too honest. With Ning Zhe’s character, I’m afraid they’d be schemed against…”

Upon hearing Jiang Jin’s words, Yu could not help but worry as well. “Then, what should we do? Young Master and Young Lady are smart, but, it’s like you said, they’re too honest. It’d be easy to scheme against them.”

Jiang Jin nodded. “That’s right! Therefore, I have to persevere with my old bones! Only when they’re settled will I be able to close my eyes in peace!”

Sister Yu hurriedly said, “Bah! How can you say such unlucky words! Young Lady has already said that as long as you listen to her and look after yourself well, it won’t be a problem for you to live a long life.”

Jiang Jin smiled in satisfaction. “I have to say, I’m really satisfied with Ning. I really like her from the bottom of my heart. I just don’t know when my grandson will be able to enter her heart…”

A small smile appeared on Yu’s face as she said, “I don’t think you need to worry about that. Young Master is still rather intelligent.”

Jiang Jin pursed her lips. “I’m afraid his intelligence will backfire on him. Moreover, will intelligence help in this sort of matter? It looks like I’ll have to create more opportunities for him!” After she finished speaking, she could not help but laugh.
