Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Song Ning looked at Fu Ting and calmly said, “I think there’s a problem with your words…”

Fu Ting was taken aback.

Song Ning continued to say, “It’s true that my mother and Ms. Yun Yao founded Zhuang Ji. However, as for whether Fu Le should have a share or not, our mothers had already come to a decision and made the necessary arrangements before they died. It’s not that I’m monopolizing Zhuang Ji; I’m just respecting their wishes. If Miss Fu feels that it’s unfair to Fu Le and wants to fight for him, you can take legal action. We have nothing to discuss in private.”

Song Ning rose to her feet and nodded slightly to Fu Ting before she walked away to look for Mu Chen.

Fu Ting called out coldly, “Dr. Song, are you really not going to reconsider?”

Song Ning turned around. She maintained the smile on her face and said, “Miss Fu, we’re actually quite similar; we’re both very stubborn.”

Fu Ting narrowed her eyes as she watched Song Ning walk away.

In the distance, Mu Chen and Ye Cheng were engaged in a conversation, looking rather happy.

Song Ning made her way toward the two men. At this time, her figure was already showing her pregnancy. However, her limbs were still slender.

There was quite a number of people, picnicking and barbecuing, at the beach during the weekend even though it was a private beach. The sounds of laughter rang in the air as people came and went.

Song Ning did not pay attention to her surroundings as she was walking; her eyes were trained on Mu Chen. When she saw a figure flash from the corners of her eyes, it was already too late.

Song Ning was shocked and instinctively retreated as she placed a hand on her stomach. When she looked down, she saw a person hugging her leg and crying miserably.

The people in the surroundings looked over curiously, attracted by the commotion.

Song Ning saw Mu Chen running toward her at this time, and she further relaxed. She inhaled deeply to calm down before she looked at the person who was hugging her leg. It was a pregnant woman with a bruised face. She was shocked when she saw the pregnant woman was none other than Feng Man.

At this time, Mu Chen who had arrived hugged Song Ning and pushed Feng Man away.

Feng Man crawled forward to reach out to Song Ning, but Mu Chen protected Song Ning and took a few steps back to avoid her.

Feng Man’s pregnancy seemed to be further along than Song Ning’s. Her stomach was bigger than Song Ning’s stomach. Her face was smudged with dirt as she cried, “Song Ning, please spare me! Please spare me!”

Everyone looked at Song Ning who was being carefully protected by Mu Chen before shifting their eyes to the pitiful Feng Man on the ground. The stark contrast between the two women made them pity Feng Man. It was natural for people to sympathize with the weak, after all.

Mu Chen looked at Feng Man with an icy expression on his face as he asked in a voice that drowned out the sound of Feng Man’s sobbing, “Do you need me to call the police for you?”

Feng Man who was crying until she was gasping for breath quietened down immediately. Her loud cries instantly turned into soft sobs.

Mu Chen continued to say, “If there’s anything you want to say, you can just say it. Please don’t make it look as though my wife is bullying you. Crying won’t solve the problem. It’s better if you go to the police station and tell them what’s wrong.”

The crowd felt that Mu Chen’s words were rather reasonable.

Mu Chen gently removed his hand from Song Ning but still stood next to her protectively.

Song Ning, who had finally calmed down, asked, “Feng Man, what do you want me to do for you?”

Upon hearing these words, the onlookers were taken aback. As it turned out, the crying pregnant woman had a favor to ask.

Feng Man’s tears dripped down onto the sand, making her look even more miserable. She said through her tears, “Song Ning, look at me. Don’t you think I’m very pitiful? Can you please help me? For the sake of our friendship, can you take pity on me and help me?”

Song Ning furrowed her brows. “What happened exactly? How can I help you if you don’t tell me?”
