Sir, How About A Marriage?

Chapter 231 - Arrangements



Chapter 231: Arrangements

As soon as Mu Qing saw Jiang Jin, he fell to his knees and kowtowed to her. He called out with tears brimming in his eyes, “Mother!”

Since Mu Qing did not discuss anything with her before they came to see Jiang Jin, Liang Zhou did not know what was happening. She was stunned when she saw Mu Qing kneeling and kowtowing. After a fleeting moment of hesitation, she hurriedly kneeled behind Mu Qing and lowered her head as well.

Jiang Jin sighed when she saw the hints of white hair at the back of her son’s head. She gestured for Sister Yu to help her son up.

Sister Yu stepped forward and helped Mu Qing to his feet. “Sir, please sit down and have a talk with the Old Madam…”

Mu Qing looked at Sister Yu gratefully, but he remained kneeling in front of Jiang Jin. “Mother, I was wrong…”

After he spoke, he reached out for his mother’s hand and placed them against his face. His tears dripped on Jiang Jin’s hand as he began to cry.

Jiang Jin’s hand froze for a moment, but she did not pull it away. Her son really knew her very well. In this life, it seemed like the mother and son were destined to engage in a battle of wits and courage. After a long time, she finally sighed and stroked her son’s head as she said, “Get up and talk…”

Sister Yu handed Mu Qing a towel to wipe the tears off his face before she cleaned Jiang Jin’s hand.

Mu Qing and Liang Zhou took a seat next to each other on the couch as Sister Yu helped Jiang Jin into a more comfortable position.

After that, Jiang Jin bluntly said, “Mu Qing, after this incident, you should give up. Mu Chen’s schemes are far superior to yours so don’t bother with all your petty tricks…”

Mu Qing lowered his head; his expression was one of shame.

Jiang Jin continued to say, “As the saying goes, ‘The young surpasses the old’. You should feel proud that your son is so capable…”

Mu Qing’s hands that were resting on his lap tightened for a moment upon hearing these words.

“It’s your own fault that you’re in this situation today. I can’t be bothered to delve into the matter since we know who’s at fault…” Jiang Jin said. From the beginning to the end, she did not bother looking at Liang Zhou at all.

Mu Qing’s head lowered another few degrees.

“I won’t bring up matters of the past; let them stay where they belong in the past. You’re my son so I can’t be ruthless; you know this very well. Mu Qing, if you still consider me your mother, settle down quietly in M City and don’t have any extravagant thoughts. I hope my grandson won’t be the only one present during my funeral; I want my son to be present as well. I don’t want us to have regrets in our hearts…” Jiang Jin slowly said.

Mu Qing looked at Jiang Jin in shock before he hurriedly fell to his knees with a thud.

“Mother, I’m unfilial! I promise to stay by your side to take care of you!”

Liang Zhou’s eyes lit up immediately. Did this mean they could return to the Mu family?

Jiang Jin continued to say, “Although I said you should settle down quietly in M City, it doesn’t mean you can return to the family home. Just like the other descendants of the Mu family, you’ll be given a place to stay. Just come and visit me regularly, and we’ll consider that as you fulfilling your filial duties…”

Mu Qing’s figure stilled for a moment before he replied in a low voice, “Don’t worry, Mother; I understand. I’ll visit you regularly, and I’ll try to avoid Mu Chen as much as I can so as to not make him unhappy…”

Jiang Jin nodded, satisfied.

On the contrary, Liang Zhou’s heart was brimming with discontentment and unwillingness. She had thought she and her husband would be allowed to return to the family, but the latter half of Jiang Jin’s words had crushed her expectations completely. In the end, she still had to avoid Mu Chen and his wife. Although her husband was the eldest son of the Mu family and was part of the main branch in the Mu family, her husband was treated like a distant relative of the Mu family! What right did Mu Chen have to force them to this position?

After a brief pause, Jiang Jin said again, “You can’t interfere with the Mu Group’s affairs. Don’t think about returning to the family. You can start a new business if you want. You’re about to become a grandfather. Think about it, you’ve destroyed your relationship with your son; do you want to do the same with your grandchild as well? Do you want your grandchild to hate you as well? If you really care about the family, why don’t you make some good memories with your grandchild to make up for your past mistakes?”

Mu Qing was stunned, but he immediately nodded. “I understand. I’ll do my best to make up for my mistakes back then.”
