Chapter 204: A Mess
Ye Cheng personally bailed Gao Wen out. She was in a very bad state. As soon as she saw Ye Cheng, she began to cry, overflowing with grievances.
Upon seeing this, Ye Cheng’s heart softened. He hugged his mother and comforted her. “It’s okay, Mom. It’s okay, it’s okay. Let’s go home.”
When they reached home, the servant prepared a grapefruit leaves bath for the listless Gao Wen. The entire time, she was in a daze as though her soul had left her body.
Ye Cheng sat at the dining table with Gao Wen. There were many exquisite dishes on the table. Seeing his mother still in a daze, he scooped a bowl of porridge for her and said, “Mom, eat a little to warm your stomach.”
Gao Wen’s tears rolled down her face as she ate her porridge. “Cheng, I didn’t mean to do it. I was just so angry…”
Ye Cheng hurriedly moved next to her and gently patted her. “It’s okay, it’s okay. It’s all in the past…”
Gao Wen continued to cry until she was out of breath. “They’re too ruthless. Why couldn’t they discuss the matter instead of acting so decisively? Why must they lock me up? Do you know how much I suffered? They’re really too ruthless. How could they treat me like that?!”
Gao Wen’s soft sobs gradually rose in pitch and turned into wails.
Ye Cheng was aware that it was unreasonable for his mother to complain about the Mu family. However, she was the one who acted first. He was glad that Song Ning was not around that day. Otherwise, the consequences would be unimaginable. After all, Mu Chen had said his grandmother was protective of her family members and would not listen to reason.
Ye Cheng sighed. He waited until Gao Wen tired herself out from crying and gradually quieted down before he said, “Mom, go and rest. Everything will be better when you wake up…”
…
When Ye Cheng returned to his study, he sat down in a daze as held the results of the DNA test in his hands. The results were like a ticking time bomb, and he felt there was nowhere safe enough to keep the papers in his hands.
For the first time in his life, Ye Cheng did not know what to do. He did not dare to imagine what would happen if his father found out about this matter.
His father had lived an easy life. When he was young, he depended on his father. When he had a son, he relied on his son.
Ye Cheng’s head hurt even more when he thought about how much his father doted on Ye Xin.
…
Song Ning leaned against the headboard of the bed. She was focused on the laptop that was placed on the small table in front of her, writing her thesis.
She had calculated the days; her child won’t affect or delay her studies. She had to work hard to complete her thesis before giving birth. She wanted to finish her studies and graduate. She was filled with energy whenever she thought about this.
Every day after class, Jiahui would bring her laptop and snacks to the hospital. She would write her thesis along with Song Ning.
Gradually, a few other classmates began to tag along as well, and it did not take long before her ward became a study room.
Jiang Jin strongly supported Song Ning’s studies as well. When she saw how good Song Ning’s classmates were to Song Ning, she was delighted. Moreover, with all these medical students around, she felt relieved as well. For all these reasons, she felt at ease focusing on Mu Qing.
Mu Qing had been staying in the hospital all this time. Jiang Jin had checked his medical records and saw the report that if he was not treated promptly, it was very likely that he would develop cancer.
Upon seeing the report, Jiang Jin’s heart could not help but soften. After all, he was her son; her flesh and blood. How could she not feel sorry for him?
Mu Qing was also very affectionate with Jiang Jin. Whenever she visited, he would stop whatever he was doing and chat with her. They would reminisce about the past when he was young, causing her to recall those happy times. She felt wistful; if those unfortunate things did not happen, would they not be able to live happily?
Jiang Jin was also troubled. No matter what, she could not watch the father and son fight each other. At the same time, she could not allow the foundation of the Mu family to be destroyed as well. Moreover, whether her son was scheming or not, at this moment, he had yet to say or do anything. Hence, it was difficult for her to speak up. She could not even warn her son not to act recklessly or underestimate her grandson. In the end, she decided to take it one step at a time.
