Chapter 125: Countermeasure
Mu Chen smiled faintly when he heard his grandmother’s words. He said to Song Ning, “Look at how much Grandma loves you…”
Mu Chen felt his heart ache when he saw Song Ning’s pitiful and delicate appearance and her face that was stained with tears.
Nevertheless, Mu Chen did not let his emotions blind his judgment. He understood that he could not act recklessly. If the Mu family acted out of the norm, the public would see it as an admission of guilt. At that time, they would draw even more criticism. The best thing to do now was to do nothing.
After Jiang Jin listened to Mu Chen’s explanation, she said furiously, “Then are we supposed to let them talk nonsense? The old woman from the Fu family is really despicable! She even stooped so low as to lie to the public!”
Mu Chen said reassuringly, “Grandma, calm down. In my opinion, there’s more to this than meets the eyes. With the Fu family’s ability, they wouldn’t have been able to come up with such a drastic measure…”
Jiang Jin and Song Ning were taken aback by Mu Chen’s words.
Jiang Jin asked, “You’re saying someone else is pulling the strings from behind the scenes?”
Mu Chen nodded. “Cheng Che discovered that the Fu family’s business isn’t doing well in the past six months, and they’re in a hurry to raise funds. Currently, there are two companies that are interested in Zhuang Ji… That’s why the Fu family is so desperate to get their hands on Zhuang Ji…”
Song Ning caught the main point of Mu Chen’s words immediately. She asked, “Which two companies?”
Mu Chen looked at Song Ning and slowly said, “The Ye Group and the Ning Group…”
Song Ning nodded; she was not surprised and had expected as much. It seemed like there was no end between her and the Ning family.
Jiang Jin sneered. “As it turns out, it’s them! Despicable! The Fu family is really useless. Mu Chen, what do you think we should do then? Don’t tell me we have to continue letting them slander us? How can we let Ningning be wronged?”
Song Ning wiped her tears away before she calmly asked, “What should we do then?”
Mu Chen was proud that Song Ning managed to regain her composure. He said to Jiang Jin, “Grandma, don’t you think she’s amazing? She regained her composure so quickly; she’s just like you…”
Jiang Jin said, feeling distressed, “What’s so good about being like me? I just don’t want Ningning to suffer or be criticized. She has suffered enough…”
Mu Chen looked at Song Ning and said, “Don’t worry. Just do what you have to do.”
Song Ning frowned slightly. “But this matter involves the Mu Group as well. The shareholders will definitely look for trouble with you…”
Jiang Jin patted Song Ning’s shoulder and said, “Let Mu Chen deal with that; you don’t have to worry about it. All you need to do is take care of yourself.”
Mu Chen smiled. “Don’t worry. The Mu Group isn’t that weak, and your husband isn’t useless. In any case, it’s time to announce our wedding date to the public.”
Jiang Jin grew excited immediately. “That’s right! You agree with my idea as well, right? Let everyone know that the Mu family will have a grand wedding next year! Let them be jealous!”
…
The development on the Internet was spiraling out of control.
This time there was a media report about Mu Chen’s relationship with Ye Xin, the Young Miss of the Ye family and a popular star. It was said that they were childhood sweethearts and Song Ning was the third party who destroyed the duo’s relationship.
As rumors continued to swirl, Ye Xin’s company was also promoting her new movie that was supposed to be an accompaniment to the movie, Yi Yao. Needless to say, due to Ye Xin being known as Little Ning Xia, fans of Ning Xia and Ye Xin were greatly excited by the movie.
To exacerbate matters, during a press conference for the movie, a reporter asked about Mu Chen and Song Ning, causing Song Ning to cry uncontrollably in front of the cameras. Nevertheless, she did not say anything damaging about Mu Chen and Song Ning, causing the fans to be moved by her kindness and innocence. Needless to say, their anger was all directed at Song Ning. Countless abusive words were hurled at Song Ning on the Internet.
Things had gotten so bad that one day when Song Ning was making rounds in the hospital with Li Sen, Ye Xin’s fans swarmed to the hospital and threw eggs and vegetables at the hospital, scaring patients away.
The hospital’s security guards and the policemen from the police station nearby had to step forward to control the situation.
In the name of seeking justice for their idol, Ye Xin, the fans stood outside the hospital, demanding Song Ning to be fired. They shouted for her to leave M City.
Apart from that, the Mu Group’s official page on Weibo and their other social media accounts were flooded with Ye Xin’s fans, demanding Mu Chen to marry their goddess and chase Song Ning, the wicked woman, away.
Fortunately, Director Zhang from the hospital was aware of Song Ning’s identity, and the dean of the university was An Jiahui’s father who had watched Song Ning grow up. Additionally, with the protection from Li Sen and her classmates, Song Ning’s work and studies were not affected.
However, the stupidity and power of Ye Xin’s fans were beyond people’s imagination and understanding.
