Chapter 316: Making a Decision

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Song Ning knew Mu Chen and Cheng Che were like an impenetrable iron wall. One of them was skilled in offense while the other was skilled in defense. What else could those who harbored ill intentions do when such an intricate and meticulous plan failed? They could only start with the people closest to Mu Chen: Song Ning or Jiang Jin.

Jiang Jin had lived a long life and was experienced. With just a look, she would be able to see through those people’s thoughts. Therefore, they could only start with Song Ning.

With all these thoughts in her mind, Song Ning grew restless and anxious. “Sister Li, I have to return!”

Yang Li shook her head gently and did not say anything.

“Sister Li, please help me. I have to return to the Mu family. I can’t let Ye Xin have her way. I can’t let the mastermind destroy the Mu family,” Song Ning pleaded. She had never felt so anxious before.

Yang Li held Song Ning’s hand and patiently said, “Ning Xia, don’t be anxious. Listen to me. You can’t return now because it’d be even more dangerous…”

Song Ning was stunned.

Yang Li continued to say, “Think about how ruthless the Ye family had acted toward me. What do you think they’ll do to you? If you return to M City now, you’ll be dead before you can even return to the Mu family. Why do you think I told you about my harrowing experience? I wanted you to know how dangerous things are now. You need to calm down so we can plan…”

Song Ning looked at Yang Li in a daze as fear overwhelmed her heart. Yang Li was right. She had to calm down. What could she do now? Ye Xin had taken over her identity. In the eyes of the world, Ye Xin was her now. Moreover, her body and face were riddled with wounds now. Even if she managed to return to the Mu family, who would believe she was Song Ning and that Ye Xin was a fake?

Yang Li said softly, “We’re now in L City. I’ve already made arrangements for both our funerals. As long as we don’t show up, I think the other party won’t suspect anything. Our top priority now is to treat our injuries before carrying out our plan. Our health is the most important thing now…”

Yang Li’s tone grew more determined as she spoke.

Song Ning’s heart jolted when she saw the grim determination on Yang Li’s face.

Yang Li told Song Ning that she needed plastic surgery while Song Ning needed a skin graft. Their treatment would require time, money, and perseverance.

Song Ning took one last look at the photo on Yang Li’s phone as she took a deep breath to calm herself down. ‘Mu Chen, my baby, wait for me…’

…

At the Mu family house.

Ye Xin, who was dressed in a glamorous outfit, was descending the stairs at this moment.

Mu Chen did not return last night, making her extremely unhappy.

When she was halfway down the stairs, she overheard the ongoing conversation downstairs.

“The Little Master is so obedient. He doesn’t cry incessantly, and his schedule is regular. He’s really easy to take care of.”

Sister Yu said with a smile, “Young Master was like Little Master when he was young as well. It seems like the father and son are made from the same mold…”

Jiang Jin chimed in, “He’s a very good child. He’s determined to grow up well…”

Upon hearing these words, Ye Xin’s mood worsened.

At this moment, the helper looked up and noticed Ye Xin. She quickly smiled and asked, “Young Madam, you’re awake. Breakfast has been prepared for you.”

Ye Xin ignored the helper and made her way to Jiang Jin instead. She asked with a smile, “Grandma, have you eaten?”

Jiang Jin replied with a smile, “I’ve already eaten. Since I’m old, I have to have my meals in a timely manner.. You were the one who set this rule for me.”
