Sir, How About A Marriage?

Chapter 229: Gratitude

Finally, the matter with the Mu family and the Mu Group had been dealt with.

Fear lingered in the hearts of those who were not involved when they thought about Mu Chen’s brilliant trap. With such a family head, the Mu family’s future would definitely be bright. All of them came to visit Jiang Jin. They knew Jiang Jin’s resignation had pushed the Mu family to a new peak. Moreover, for so many years, she had raised and nurtured Mu Chen, giving him time and space to grow up into such a capable person.

As for those who were involved, they felt as though they had been on a rollercoaster ride from heaven to hell and back to heaven again. They were exposed and were on the brink of being disowned before they were finally able to stay in the family with demotion and termination in the company as a punishment. They lined up to visit Jiang Jin as well with tears streaming down their faces as they kneeled and kowtowed to her. After all, they, and everyone else in the Mu family, were aware that their light punishment was exchanged with Jiang Jin’s resignation. They knew Mu Chen had no choice but to obey his grandmother’s orders and only punished them lightly. From now on, they had to live quietly with their tails between their legs. Nevertheless, living with their tails between their legs was far preferable compared to being disowned. After all, with their betrayal, they would not be able to survive if they had to leave the Mu family. Was there anyone stupid enough to trust a known traitor? Mu Chen would definitely publicize their betrayal. The Mu Group has many businesses all over the world. In the future, with their stained reputation, how were they going to advance in the world?

Everyone in the Mu family, guilty or not, was filled with gratitude toward Jiang Jin. They came in groups to visit her. With her age, they knew her illness was serious. Perhaps, this was the first time the Mu family was so sincere and united in praying for Jiang Jin to live a long and healthy life.

Sister Yu followed Song Ning’s instructions and set a time limit for the visitors. However, no one complained since it was for the sake of Jiang Jin’s health.

Jiang Jin’s health aside, they knew they had to bear with Song Ning, the Young Madam of the Mu family. Was there anyone who dared to oppose her when Jiang Jin and Mu Chen treasured her so much? Moreover, she was from a prestigious family herself and had outstanding achievements; with her family background, she was qualified to be the Young Madam of the Mu family.

Furthermore, Song Ning did not treat them coldly and patiently arranged their visits.

There were some in the family who even thought Song Ning was capable of shouldering the heavy responsibility that came with the position of the matriarch of the Mu family in the future.

As for Jiang Jin, she did not refuse to see those who came to visit her. She would speak to elders affectionately and reminisce about the past. Almost everyone who visited would leave with red-rimmed eyes. They even repeatedly promised her that they would cherish and protect the Mu family’s status and reputation for generations to come.

Naturally, there were smart people who knew Jiang Jin was helping her grandson to stabilize his position and to get through the critical period safely. Nevertheless, they were still impressed and grateful.

After the Mu family’s crisis, there was unprecedented peace and harmony in the family. As for the losses the Mu Group incurred during the crisis, it was projected the company would regain double the profit before the new year.

As the saying went, ‘When the people are united, they can even move Mount Tai’.

Many people predicted that after surviving the crisis, the Mu Group would steadily rise for at least ten years. For a time, the company stocks soared, garnering everyone’s attention.

Meanwhile, Song Ning ended her act as ‘bait’ and returned to her work and studies. She had almost completed her thesis and was just waiting for a few things.

Mu Chen was, needless to say, grateful for her hard work during the difficult time. He wished he could give his wife all the good things in the world.
