An earth-shattering event had happened in the Mu Group.

A serious leak had occurred in the Mu Group’s subsidiary companies, resulting in many patents and trademarks being snatched by rival companies. If the sales of the patents and trademarks were successful, the Mu Group would lose half of its territory, which was equivalent to shaking the foundation of the Mu Group that had been around for generations.

Everyone in the Mu Group was panicking. However, their domineering President, Mu Chen, was staying by his wife’s side day and night because she was hospitalized and pregnant.

Mu Chen and Song Ning’s love story had long been known by everyone; after all, Mu Chen had publicly expressed his deep love for Song Ning many times. They were like an enviable immortal couple.

Alas, fate did not act according to one’s wish. Song Ning unexpectedly met with a car accident and was discovered to be pregnant. She had even almost lost her child. It was said that Song Ning’s health was not very good and that if she lost her child, it would be almost impossible for the couple to have another child in the future.

For a time, the young couple was a topic of discussion for many people in the city.

There were many women who burned incense and prayed to Buddha, hoping Mu Chen and Song Ning’s child could not be saved. If she lost the child and the ability to get pregnant again in the future, the wealthy family she married into will abandon her. With this, they would have a chance to marry Mu Chen. If they could marry him, it did not even matter if they became a child-bearing machine. They wished they could send their photos to him with the message, ‘I can give birth’.

There were also those who eagerly waited for misfortune to befall wealthy families like the Mu family. They wanted to see the high and mighty Mu family being kicked down to the mortal world. In this world, there was no shortage of people who took pleasure from other people’s misfortune and were eager to watch a show, after all.

On the other hand, those who were most worried were the members of the Mu family. When they saw Mu Chen did not care about the company’s affairs and only cared about his wife, many of them began to show their true colors. In their opinion, the young Cheng Che would not be able to do much to them. Some of them decided to watch from the sidelines; some of them added insult to injury; some of them spread nasty rumors; some of them took advantage of the situation to reap benefits. In less than a month, the Mu family and the Mu Group were in chaos; the situation was made worse by the family’s internal strife. With all these problems, the Mu Group fell into a passive position, constantly attacked by their rivals. The company’s stocks fluctuated greatly as well, stirring up panic among the shareholders.

As time went on, the elders of the Mu family could no longer sit still and asked Mu Qing to take charge of the situation.

Upon hearing the elders’ request, Mu Qing had humbly said he believed in his son’s ability. Moreover, he had to obey his mother. He would only take charge if his mother allowed him to do so; if his mother did not wish for him to interfere, he would not go against his mother’s wish.

Everyone was anxious and angry. They were pressed for time; the current situation did not allow them to dally. Therefore, they had no choice but to look for Jiang Jin.

During this time, Jiang Jin had been living in seclusion, withdrawing from the public’s eye, because she was not feeling well. Although many people wanted to speak to her, they were not able to meet her in person. She was the anchor of the Mu family, after all.

After failing to meet Jiang Jin, those people finally brought Mu Qing along so they would be able to see her. As soon as they saw her, they demanded she allowed Mu Qing to return to the Mu family and the Mu Group.

Jiang Jin looked at her son who was being put in a difficult position. His expression was calm, without any ripples.

As Mu Qing poured a cup of tea for his mother, he calmly said, “Mother, my uncles came because they’re anxious. You should at least reassure them and give them peace of mind. You have to vouch for Mu Chen and let them know we’ll be able to get past this difficult time…”

Jiang Jin took a sip of the tea before she asked, “Mu Qing, do you still remember why you left the Mu family?”

Mu Qing paled slightly. He quickly kneeled next to Jiang Jin before he said, “Mother, it doesn’t matter if I’m allowed to return to the Mu family. I only hope you can forgive me for my foolishness back then. I’d embarrassed you back then with my mistakes. I’ve learned my lesson…”

With these words, everyone was reminded of that incident during spring many years ago.
