Cheng Che thought to himself, ‘How fierce! But I like it!’

Cheng Che liked how Jiahui was very clear about what she loved and hated. He also liked how she was so domineering and unreasonable like Jiang Jin.

Cheng Che patted Jiahu’s back and said, “It’s not worth it for you to beat her up. After all, you still have to adhere to the law.”

Jiahui glared at him and said indignantly, “Then am I supposed to let her do as she pleases? Am I supposed to watch as she bullies Song Ning to this extent?”

Cheng Che said confidently, “Of course not! No one can bully my sister-in-law. However, we can deal with it without using violence. Dealing with someone without using force is a skill…”

Jiahui looked at him curiously before she nudged him and said, “What do you mean? Speak English!”

Cheng Che smiled slyly as he said, “I’ll let people expose a few negative news about the Ning family tomorrow so it’ll cause the Ning Group’s stocks to drop in price. We’ll seize this opportunity to make them suffer…”

Upon hearing this, Mu Chen said icily, “There’s no need to hold back. If anything happens, I’ll shoulder the responsibility.”

After Mu Chen finished speaking, he knocked on the bathroom door before he entered. He did not allow the others to follow him in.

Jiang Jin said to Cheng Che, clearly worried about Song Ning, “Remember to do it well since your brother is willing to help your sister-in-law vent her anger. Investigate that woman and her son. I’ll keep the information for future use.”

Cheng Che did not hesitate and agreed immediately.

On the other hand, An Ran who was standing quietly at the side felt happy for Song Ning. She could see the Mu family sincerely treated Song Ning well and was worried about the matter with Su Tong. Although she was not sure of Cheng Che’s capability, seeing his confidence and Mu Chen and Jiang Jin’s trust in him, she was sure there would not be a problem.

Jiahui did not seem to be satisfied. She said unhappily, “Why don’t I use a silver needle and make her uncomfortable for a few days?”

Jiang Jin smiled when she heard Jiahui’s words. She patted Jiahui’s hand and said, “You’re really straightforward.”

…

In the bathroom.

Song Ning stood under the shower in her clothes, letting the water wash over her to calm herself down.

“Song Ning!” Mu Chen was shocked when he saw this scene after entering the bathroom.

He hurriedly turned the shower off before he grabbed a towel and wrapped it around her. He said as he pulled her into his embrace, “Song Ning, don’t torture yourself like this…”

Song Ning’s tears fell like rain as she said, “Mu Chen, I don’t want to be like this, but I can’t control it.”

Mu Chen patted her back and said reassuringly, “Don’t be afraid. I’ll take you to the psychiatrist I found for you tomorrow. She was abroad and just returned recently. I’ve made an appointment for her to see you and Grandma tomorrow afternoon.”

Song Ning tightened her grip around Mu Chen’s waist as though she was trying to draw warmth and strength from him.

…

Su Tong’s heart brimmed with hatred and anger after she left the Mu family house. Even after she exposed Song Ning’s past, she did not expect the Old Madam of the Mu family would be so protective of Song Ning to the point of being ruthless to her.

She felt like pride had been trampled on by those people. Nevertheless, she would do whatever it took to drive Song Ning out of Cloudy Peak Villa. She would not allow Song Ning to live well. She would not lose that pair of mother-and-daughter for the second time!

When she returned to the Ning family house, she discovered Ning Zhe had a guest over at the house.

The young man sitting on the sofa rose to his feet immediately when he saw her and greeted her with a smile, “You must be Madam Ning…”

Ning Zhe introduced the young man, “This is Ye Cheng, the Young Master of the Ye family.”

Ye Cheng said with a smile, “Apart from visiting Mr. Ning, I came to invite Madam Ning to the charity banquet that my mother and sister are organizing.”

Su Tong was pleasantly surprised by this. However, she looked at Ning Zhe surreptitiously, trying to gauge his reaction. Even if she wanted to attend the banquet, she would need Ning Zhe’s approval.

Ning Zhe’s expression was rather warm as he said, “Madam Ye and Miss Ye are really thoughtful…”

Upon hearing these words, Su Tong knew Ning Zhe approved of it. She tried her best to suppress her excitement before she said with a smile, “It’d be my honor…”

Ye Cheng said, “You’re too polite. My mother was like you in her earlier years; she spent all her time taking care of her husband and children. She prefers a quiet life, but my sister insisted on joining the entertainment industry. My mother had no choice but to acquiesce to my sister’s wishes. I’m sure Madam Ning will get along very well with my mother.”

Su Tong asked curiously, “What’s your sister’s name?”

Ye Cheng smiled. “Her name is Ye Xin.”

Su Tong was pleasantly surprised. “Heavens! As it turns out, Miss Ye Xin is Mr. Ye’s sister!” Then, she turned to Ning Zhe and explained, “Ye Xin is the most popular female celebrity at the moment!”

Ning Zhe was not interested in celebrities so he only nodded slightly and did not add anything to the conversation.

Ye Cheng said modestly, “She’s just playing around. My parents were against her joining the entertainment industry. After all, a family like ours doesn’t need her to work so hard…”

Ning Zhe nodded in agreement.

Ye Cheng continued to say, “However, my sister really likes what she does. Alas, my parents are like putty in her hands. All she has to do is act spoiled with them, and they would agree to all her requests. They really didn’t expect her to gain popularity. Now that she’s famous, she’s planning to set up a fund for sick children. I think this is a good cause so I decided to use the contacts I have to help her…”

Ning Zhe nodded. “It’s really commendable…”
