Song Ning's hands grew cold. Mu Chen was about to speak when she beat him to it. "The Ning family
and I have had no connection since ten years ago. I hope everyone can focus on Zhuang Ji's works in
the future. I thank you on behalf of everyone from Zhuan Ji."
Everyone was stunned. Indeed, there was a huge story behind this. It seemed like the new Mrs. Mu
was Ning Zhe's daughter. Was she an illegitimate child?
"Mrs. Mu, we hope you can clarify your relationship with President Ning. With this, we'll no longer
bother you about this matter in the future," a reporter tactfully said.
Many people nodded in agreement with the reporter..
Song Ning fell silent for a moment before she slowly said, "The family affairs from my youth had left a
scar on me. However, since everyone wants to know, I'll say a few words. My surname is originally
Ning. However, my mother and I left the Ning family ten years ago, and I have had nothing to do with
them since then. Song is my mother's surname. I changed my surname after my grandmother passed
away. From then on, my name is Song Ning. Song Ning has no relationship at all with the Ning family."
Although Song Ning had said quite a lot and the intimidating Mu Chen was standing next to her, they
did little to tamp down the reporters' curiosity. They were reporters, after all. Curiosity was a
requirement for their jobs.
Therefore, it was not surprising that someone asked, "Then, why did President Ning send so many
flower baskets?"
Mu Chen wrapped his arm around Song Ning's shoulders before he replied, "We're very grateful to
President Ning and our family friends for congratulating us on Zhuang Ji's opening. All I have to say is
Song Ning is now my wife, and she's a member of the Mu family. Let me give you a small suggestion:
instead of focusing on the past, why don't you focus on the present and the future? For example, look
at how my grandmother treats me after I got married. It's as if Song Ning is her granddaughter, and I'm
just her grandson-in-law."
The reporters below the stage laughed.
Mu Chen continued to say, "It's useless to dwell on the past, and Song Ning doesn't like to dwell on the
past so I hope all of you will show mercy. Why don't we focus on Zhuang Ji or my loyalty to my wife?"
Since Mu Chen, the President of the Mu Group, had spoken so directly, how could the reporters not
acquiesce to his request? Even if they were still curious, they would not ask any more questions now. It
would be troublesome if they ended up offending him. At most, they would dig for information after they
left.
With this, the topic shifted to Zhuang Ji and its products.
Song Ning sighed in relief inwardly. She did not dare to imagine the consequences if Mu Chen and
Jiang Jin were not around.
...
Meanwhile, in the reception area on the second floor.
Jiang Jin was still sitting with her good friends. She was no longer as cheerful as before.
Finally, one of Jiang Jin's friends could no longer hold back and asked, "Jiang Jin, we came to support
you today. Why is your expression so gloomy? Do you think we're not doing enough to support you?"
"That's right. You were still so cheerful earlier. Why do you look so gloomy after you came back from
your talk?"
Jiang Jin sighed before she said, "We're all good friends so I won't hide this matter from you. I'm
indeed a little unhappy."
"Talk to us. Let's see what we can do to help."
"Why are you treating us like outsiders? If you have something on your mind, just say it? Where did the
straightforwardness from your youth go?"
When Jiang Jin saw things were going as she had planned, she said, "It's a long story. Do all of you
remember the incident with the Ning family in Cloudy Peak ten years ago?"
"The Ning family in Cloudy Peak?"
"What happened? Since the Old Madam Ning died a few years ago, I have had no contact with the
Ning family."
"Ten years ago? I don't know what happened. To begin with, we're not close to the Ning family"
"Wait! I remember. Didn't Ning Zhe get divorced ten years ago?"
"Now that you mentioned it, I remember something like that. If I'm not mistaken, it caused quite a
commotion at that time."
"That's right! Ning Zhe brought his mistress back to the family house. For that reason, his wife decided
to file for divorce. Didn't the Ning family's business suffer a lot at that time?"
"That's right. His wife was rather capable. Otherwise, how could she have the courage to file for
divorce? It takes great courage to do something like that. For example, my daughter is cowardly all her
life and refuses to get a divorce. Instead, she rather let people bully her. Even if she can endure, I
can't!"
"Every family has its own difficulties. It's amazing that the former Mrs. Ning left the Ning family so NôvelDrama.Org holds text © rights.
decisively!"
"That's not all. I heard she even made some sort of pact with the family that's unfavorable to the
mistress. After she left the Ning family, Old Madam Ning even had to step forward to help the Ning
family. After Old Madam Ning passed away, it seems as though the Ning family has no madam to
represent them during social events."
"Now that you mention it, I vaguely remember hearing about this matter back then."
