Chapter 545 You Don’t Deserve to Understand
Mu Chen said slowly, “Discuss this in private? Sorry, but I respect the law.”
Second Granduncle Mu’s expression turned slightly as he said angrily, “Even if you want to involve the law, you still have to remember your roots! He’s your father! What do you want from him?”
Mu Chen calmly said, “I don’t want anything from him. Everyone has to be responsible for their actions. No one forced him to do those things. He yearns to return to the Mu family, but he has never considered the family’s honor. Second Granduncle, do you plan to put the family’s reputation on the line by supporting such a person?” “You!” Second Granduncle Mu was furious. Humans’ natural instinct was to seek benefit and avoid harm, after all.
At this time, another elder said, “Second Granduncle, let Mu Chen handle this. We’re old now so we won’t care about these things, Mu Chen. No matter what, we must put the Mu family’s interest first. After all, the Mu family isn’t yours alone. We’re all part of the Mu family.”
Mu Chen had heard such righteous words many times before. He looked at the group of elders who had nothing else better to do and said with a sneer, “I’ll remember your words. Take
care.”
Despite his words, Mu Chen did not even make a move to bow or anything.
This kind of disrespect further angered the elders, but they did not dare to speak up anymore.
At this time, Cheng Che led the reporters to the side. He was the only one calm enough to deal with the reporters now.
On the other hand, Ning Zhe walked over to Song Ning hesitantly. His emotions had been surging turbulently for a long time. His eyes were red, and his tone was sad and affectionate as he said, “Xiaxia, I’m sorry.”
Mu Chen was about to speak when Song Ning stopped Mu Chen. Then, she turned to face Ning Zhe and said, “Chairman Ning, I want to inform you that Hui, the person whom you sent to Zhuang Ji, has been fired by our HR manager. She has been working for you for a long time so I’m sure you’ll be able to take care of her. I don’t think I need to worry about that. Please don’t do such things in the future. No matter what, I won’t give Zhuang Ji to anyone.”
Ning Zhe choked. After a while, he said, “You won’t give it to anyone? What about Mu Chen? What kind of person is he? Didn’t you give it to him and Cheng Che? Xiaxia, I’m your father. I won’t harm you! Zhuang Ji is your dowry. How can you let your in-laws manage it? If something happens to you in the future, you won’t even have a way out. Don’t be so stubborn regarding this matter!”
Ning Zhe disregarded Mu Chen and Cheng Che and was blunt with his words.
Song Ning looked at the man in front of her and felt helpless. She asked, “So you think I should hand it over to you?”
Ning Zhe nodded. “Yes. You’re my daughter. It’s only right for me to manage it for you. Moreover, you’ll also inherit the Ning family’s assets in the future. I won’t mistreat my daughter!”
Song Ning said tonelessly, “I don’t need the inheritance. You might have already forgotten what happened back then, but I haven’t. My mother’s no longer around so you don’t think it matters. However, to me, my mother is always present in my heart. I remember every word she said. I hope you’ll remember my words as well. Clearly, you don’t take my words to heart at al. Otherwise, you won’t be unable to tell which one is your real and fake daughter. Oh, right, she’s not your fake daughter; she’s your daughter as well. Fortunately, this matter was not exposed when my mother was still alive. Otherwise, she’d be even sadder.” Ning Zhe was rendered speechless by Song Ning’s words.
Song Ning continued to say, “Zhuang Ji was left to me by my mother. Every piece of work and every corner holds a different meaning to me. They’re not just commodities. Chairman Ning, you don’t understand this nor do you deserve to understand this.”
