Chapter 521: Reprimanded
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
This was too disrespectful to Mu Chen. Unfortunately, no one came forward to help Mu Chen.
Mu Chen was usually arrogant and domineering, Now that there was someone who was able to suppress him, everyone was naturally eager to watch him being scolded.
Cheng Che could no longer endure it so he said, “Second Granduncle, Brother Chen is only trying to bring those who tried to harm the Mu family to justice!”
“You’re an outsider. You have no right to speak. This is the Mu family’s business,” Second Granduncle Mu said coldly.
Cheng Che’s face flushed red immediately.
Everyone knew that Cheng Che was an adopted son of the Mu family. The Old Madam of the Mu family had always treated him like her own grandson. Although he was Mu Chen’s assistant, they were closer than blood brothers. How could he not feel embarrassed being reprimanded by the elder of the Mu
family?
At this moment, a clear voice rang from outside.
“Second Granduncle, what you said is wrong. Cheng Che is a member of the Mu family. When did he become an outsider?”
Everyone instinctively turned to look at the source of the voice.
Song Ning walked in without a trace of a smile on her face. When she arrived in front of the others, Cheng Che called out softly, “Sister-in-law.”
A hint of bitterness could be heard in Cheng Che’s voice.
Song Ning continued to say, “Grandma has always maintained that she has two grandsons. The eldest grandson is like a block of wood and doesn’t care about anything but work. The second grandson is the most filial. He loves his elder brother, and he’s her pride.”
Cheng Che reached out to adjust his glasses.
Song Ning continued to say, “Your brother always said that the two events in life are having you as a younger brother and marrying me.”
Cheng Che smiled and nodded. “Thank you, sister-in-law.”
Those who understood naturally understood those words.
Second Granduncle Mu scoffed. “A woman with unknown origins dare to say such words, trying to bribe the hearts of the people.”
Mu Chen reached out to put his arm around Song Ning’s shoulders. “Second Granduncle, who gave you the confidence to say she’s a fake? If she’s fake, your prestige that you’ve been cherishing your whole life will be gone.”
After saying that, Mu Chen ignored the crowd and brought Song Ning to Ning Zhe and said, “Chairman Ning, since everyone’s here, let’s get started.”
Ning Zhe was even more infuriated by Mu Chen’s actions. He thought to himself that when this matter was over, he would definitely make Ning Xia divorce Mu Chen. After he obtained Zhuang Ji, he would find a loving husband for Ning Xia.
Ning Zhe nodded and said in a deep voice, “Alright, let’s begin! My daughter and I will go first. Today, I want everyone to witness the result of the DNA test.”
While everyone applauded, Mu Chen sneered. Indeed, people were forgetful. No one mentioned how Ning Zhe abandoned his wife and daughter back then. Just because Ning Zhe chose to stand up for his daughter now, he suddenly became a good father? The eyes of the masses were clearly blind.
It took a while for the results to come out.
While they waited, Mu Qing quietly served tea to the elders of the Mu family. They were all pleased with him. In contrast, Mu Chen, Song Ning, and Cheng Che who were standing at the side looked even more unpleasant to the eyes.
The reporters were used to flattering the high and trampling on the low. The person who was the easiest to bully here was Cheng Che.
Therefore, someone asked provocatively, “Mr. Cheng Che, I heard that Old Madam Mu treats you like her own grandson. Do you have any tips on how to make the elderly happy?”
Cheng Che had completely calmed down by now. His handsome face remained unchanged.
How could these scoundrels guess Cheng Che’s breadth of mind? He had been in the Mu family for so many years, and his grandmother and brother had always protected him under their wings. However, he had also been bullied quite a few times. He would not take such a provocation by a group of
irrelevant people to heart. Nonetheless, it was different when it was from the elders of the Mu family..
