Chapter 18 (2/2)

Song Ning discovered there were a few people sitting on the sofa in the living room. At this moment, all of their eyes were trained on her and Mu Chen’s intertwined hands. Flustered, she tried to free her hand from his grip, but he refused to let go.

Instead, Mu Chen led Song Ning to Jiang Jin’s side before he greeted the guests sitting on the sofa frostily, “Hi, Second Grandma, aunt, sister-in-law.”

Jiang Jin reached out and pulled Song Ning to sit next to her. Then, she complained childishly, “Didn’t you say you only have half a day of classes today? Where did Mu Chen abduct you? Both of you only care about going on dates and forgot all about me!”

Amused, Song Ning smiled. Then, she expertly diverted the conversation. “Grandma, why don’t I make you something delicious tonight?”

“Alright.” Jiang Jin refused to let go of Song Ning’s hand.

When Song Ning looked at the unfamiliar faces in front of her, Jiang Jin finally realized she had forgotten to introduce Song Ning. “Oh, Ning, let me introduce you. This is Mu Chen’s Second Grandma; this is his sister-in-law from his Second Grandma’s side; this is his aunt, and these are his cousins, Tingting and Qiaoqiao.”

Song Ning wanted to stand up to greet them, but Mu Chen pressed her shoulder down and leaned on the arm of the sofa next to her.

Jiang Jin pretended not to see his actions and said to the guest with a smile, “This is Mu Chen’s wife, Song Ning. Both of them have already registered their marriage, but they’re both too busy to hold a wedding banquet for now. When they finally hold their wedding banquet, everyone must come and help me! I’m an old lady and can’t keep up with the current trends. I don’t want to ruin Ning’s wedding.”

The guests seemed taken aback by Jiang Jin’s words.

Then, the Second Old Madam, Ding Hong, stared at Song Ning before she asked, “Jiang Jin, a-are you serious? When did Mu Chen get into a relationship? Didn’t he have a scandal with that lady from the Ye family previously? Why did he turn around and marry someone else? What about the Ye family? If the Ye family finds out about this, they’ll be fuming mad!”

Meanwhile, Mu Chen’s sister-in-law, Qu Huanhuan, glared at Song Ning and said mockingly, “That’s right, Grandma. Where did this girl come from? Why haven’t we heard about her before this? Can any ordinary woman marry into the Mu family just like this? Although Mu Chen doesn’t have a mother, he still shouldn’t do such a shameful thing, right?”

Seemingly encouraged by Qu Huanhuan’s words, Mu Chen’s two cousins, Mu Tingting and Mu Qiaoqiao, even sneered at Song Ning’s outfit. “Look at the way she dressed. I even thought she’s a new nurse Grandma hired!”

Jiang Jin’s expression soured immediately.

Meanwhile, Mu Chen rose to his feet with a darkened expression. Just as he was about to speak, Song Ning grabbed his arm.
