Chapter 199: Seeking Peace
Cheng Che nodded. “Yes. Grandma is really angry this time. After all, sister-in-law is like her heart now.”
Mu Chen glanced at Cheng Che, abruptly changing the topic. “Did Jiahui really agree to be your girlfriend? You better not be lying to Grandma. Otherwise, Grandma and I will never let you off; we’ll skin you alive!”
“Hey, don’t keep threatening me!” Cheng Che said with a hint of dissatisfaction. Then, he patted his chest and continued to say, “I’m really envious of you; you’re too lucky. Although your marriage is an accident, you still managed to pick the right person. However, I don’t dare to act recklessly. After all, the matter between you and sister-in-law is something that will only happen once in a blue moon. Therefore, I’ll take my time to win Jiahui over. You and Grandma can rest assured!”
Mu Chen had once wanted to help Cheng Che investigate Jiahui, but Cheng Che had stopped him. Cheng Che said love should be pure, and he felt that investigating Jiahui was like violating love.
…
The next day, Ye Cheng found Mu Chen. As soon as he met Mu Chen, he bluntly said, “Mu Chen, this time it’s Ye Xin and my mother’s fault. However, for the sake of the relationship of the two families and for the sake of so many years of friendship between us, can you please let them go? No matter how much compensation you want, I’ll acquiesce to you. Is that okay?”
Mu Chen looked at Ye Cheng as he said indifferently, “Ye Cheng, you’re begging the wrong person. Ye Xin tried to run Song Ning, and your mother was targeting Song Ning as well. It’s not up to me to forgive anyone on Song Ning’s behalf. Apart from that, my Grandma has always been the type to protect her family regardless of reason. Moreover, this time, Song Ning almost lost her life…”
Ye Cheng smiled bitterly. “Mu Chen, I know you feel unwilling as well. However, I have no choice but to beg you? Can’t you agree to this?”
“Ye Cheng, we’ve known each other for so many years. Have you seen me let off those who wrong me in the past? It’s the same then and now…” Mu Chen replied indifferently.
Ye Cheng looked at Mu Chen meaningfully. “Mu Chen, you should know that I’ll do anything for my mother and my sister. I won’t allow them to go to jail…”
Mu Chen raised an eyebrow and said fearlessly, “So what? You want us to pretend that nothing happened? Ye Cheng, based on the fact that Ye Xin was bold enough to run her car into the defenseless Song Ning, I advise you not to spoil her anymore. You’ll only harm her in the end. They think you’re omnipotent so they act unscrupulously, expecting you to magically clean up all their messes. It’s not a bad thing to teach them a lesson this time.”
Ye Cheng did not respond to Mu Chen’s words directly. Instead, he said, “Mu Chen, if you do this, both sides will only end up suffering heavy losses.”
Mu Chen shook his head indifferently. “It’s fine. We have to face what we have to face. We each have our family to protect so I understand you have to do what you have to do.”
Ye Cheng took a deep breath and looked at Mu Chen. In the end, he failed to persuade Mu Chen.
Mu Chen watched Ye Cheng leave like a defeated rooster without batting an eyelid.
…
Ye Cheng and Mu Chen received the results from the DNA test almost at the same time.
Ye Cheng was so shocked by the results that he could not speak for a long time. After a long while, he asked Chen Chen in a trembling voice, “A-are you certain?”
Chen Chen did not know what to say. After thinking about it, he only nodded.
Ye Cheng collapsed limply on the sofa. The results of the DNA test showed that the probability of Ye Xin and Ning Zhe being father and daughter was more than 96%.
Although Ye Cheng had mentally prepared himself before he instructed Chen Chen to do a paternity test, he found the result difficult to accept. He really did not have the strength to accept something like this. What was wrong with the people around him?
