Chapter 124: Furor on the Internet
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Zhuang Ji was once again on the hot searches. Unlike before, this time it was regarding Zhuang Ji’s origin.
With this, people learned that Zhuang Ji was founded by two people: Zhuang Yi and Yun Yao. The two founders were good friends and even arranged for their children to be married. Yun Yao had used the trademark of Zhuang Ji as a betrothal gift, registering it under the name of her future daughter-in-law, Song Ning. However, when it was time to get married, Song Ning had fallen in love with and married Mu Chen, the heir of the Mu family. Most importantly, she took the trademark and brought the business into the Mu family.
Yun Yao’s mother-in-law, the Old Madam of the Fu family, accepted a few interviews from the media. She cried to the media and complained that her daughter-in-law and grandson were deceived and used by the venomous woman, Song Ning.
For this reason, many netizens who did not understand the situation had all spoken out against Song Ning and Mu Chen. In the end, even the Mu Group’s businesses and Zhuang Ji were affected.
At this time, Song Ning locked herself in the room, needing time alone. This was her first time experiencing the violence of the Internet. She was shocked that she did not know what to do. She did not understand how the Fu family could twist right and wrong in such a way. How could they be so shameless to such an extent? She also could not understand how those people who did not understand the situation would unilaterally believe the Fu family’s side of the story. Why were people more interested in the Fu family’s fabricated stories compared to Zhuang Ji’s clothing and design? Most importantly, she felt incredibly guilty that Mu Chen and the Mu family were affected because of her matters. This was what she could not accept the most, but she did not know how to make things better.
Meanwhile, Jiang Jin was incredibly worried about Song Ning. She even had someone ask Mu Chen to return to the house. She paced outside of Mu Cheng and Song Ning’s bedroom anxiously. Finally, she knocked on the door and called out, “Ningning, why don’t you come out and talk to Grandma? Listen to Grandma, okay? Don’t worry, this isn’t a big issue…”
Song Ning’s tears fell at once upon hearing Jiang Jin’s words. Jiang Jin was really too good to her. However, her matters had brought troubles to the Mu family. She did not know how the other members of the Mu family would make things difficult for Jiang Jin and Mu Chen. She wished she could dig a hole to hide herself. What could she do to make the rumors disappear? Although she was a doctor, she really did not know what to do to ease her mental state.
Jiang Jin knocked on the door again. “Ningning, come out. Let’s have a good talk, okay? Don’t keep things to yourself. Grandma will worry if you do that. Ningning?”
Song Ning bit her lip before she walked to the door. She really could not bear making Jiang Jin worry.
Jiang Jin said anxiously again, “Good girl, don’t make Grandma worry. This isn’t a big issue; Grandma will take care of it, okay? Don’t worry.”
When Song Ning opened the door, she saw Jiang Jin pacing back and forth in front of the door. She said softly, “Grandma, I’m sorry.”
Jiang Jin hurriedly hugged Song Ning as soon as she saw Song Ning. She felt really distressed for her granddaughter-in-law. “Good child, you finally came out…”
Song Ning could not hold back her tears anymore. “Grandma, Aunt Yun never said those words. It’s all lies. I even implicated the Mu family. What should I do?”
Jiang Jin patted Song Ning’s back as she consoled Song Ning. “It’s okay, it’s okay. Silly child, this isn’t your fault. You didn’t do anything wrong. Don’t cry, okay?”
At this moment, Mu Chen who walked upstairs saw this warm scene. He had been worried all day, afraid that Song Ning would not be able to deal with such a blow. He was afraid she would react to it the way she had reacted to the Ning family. He felt relieved when he saw her opening up to his grandmother and letting herself cry.
Mu Chen knew that Song Ning was used to taking on everything on her own. For that reason, as time passed, she had built a shell around herself. It was not easy for her to finally open her heart to the Mu family, but now something like that had happened. He was thoroughly angry and worried. He had rushed back as soon as he received his grandmother’s call. Fortunately, Song Ning was fine.
Mu Chen strode forward and reached out to hug Song Ning and Jiang Jin. He asked gently, “What happened?”
Jiang Jin supported Song Ning as she said, “Mu Chen, organize a meeting with the company’s legal department and public relations department. I want to sue all those who spread this rumor. I don’t want to let even a single one of them go! Let the public relations department organize a press conference immediately. We’ll also set the date of your wedding and announce it to the public. Let’s set it to the day Song Ning graduates.”
Jiang Jin continued to say indignantly, “How dare they bully the Young Madam of the Mu family? I’ll teach them a lesson.. If we don’t show our might, they’ll think it’s easy to bully us. Mu Chen, start a hostile takeover of the Fu family’s business!”
