Sir, How About A Marriage?

Su Tong did not deny that when she heard the news, she was filled with jealousy. She thought Song Ning should have fallen into dust like her mother. How could Song Ning marry into the Mu family? What kind of family was the Mu family? Did Song Ning think the Mu family was a family she could reach for without the support of the Ning family?

Su Tong knew Ning Zhe was incredibly shocked when he received the news. His daughter had married into the Mu family, but he was completely unaware of it. He even wanted to rush to the Mu family house to ask for an explanation from his daughter. In the end, she, along with Ning Chun, dissuaded him. Following that, she volunteered to visit Jiang Jin since she wanted to find out the truth as well.

Although there were only about 15 families living in Cloudy Villa, they did not interact with each other much and some of them were acquaintances at best. For example, the Ning family and the Mu family. One lived in the east while the other lived in the west. If they did not specifically seek each other out, it would be difficult for them to run into each other more than a few times a year. Moreover, the two families did not have business dealings with each other. Therefore, even if they knew of each other, they did not know each other. Nevertheless, it was an insult to the Ning family that the Mu family continued to act as though they had relations with the Ning family when Song Ning was a daughter-in-law of the Mu family.

Since Song Ning did not make things clear, Su Tong wanted to seize the opportunity to add fuel to fire. She had said to Ning Zhe at that time, “I don’t know what’s happening, but I’ll visit the Old Madam of the Mu family and see what her attitude is like. This matter is better suited for women to deal with. If you rush there like this, you’ll only make things worse. At that time, the Mu family might disdain Ning Xia for your actions. Naturally, if they bully her, we won’t let this matter go…”

Ning Zhe had easily agreed to Su Tong’s suggestion since he thought it was better for Ning Xia if Su Tong went. Hence, she successfully weaseled her way into visiting the Mu family house.

At this moment, she was drinking the tea served by the helper in the Mu family in a demure manner. She was lost in her thoughts, thinking about what she should say to Jiang Jin.

When Su Tong finally saw Jiang Jin walking in, supported by one of the helpers, she could not help but admire Jiang Jin’s bearing. As expected of Old Madam Mu, the unofficial leader of the Mu Group and someone from a noble family that had been around for generations. Her bearing was elegant and dignified.

Su Tong rose to her feet and greeted Jiang Jin, “Hello, Old Madam Mu!”

Jiang Jin smiled and invited Su Tong to sit. “You’re Madam Ning?”

Su Tong hurriedly smiled and explained, “Yes, my husband is the chairman of the Ning Group, Ning Zhe. My name is Su Tong. You can just address me by my name. Our families live in such close proximity, it’s our fault as juniors for not visiting sooner.”

Jiang Jin nodded. “That’s right. Although we’re neighbors, we don’t have many interactions”

Su Tong smiled brightly as she said, “If Old Madam doesn’t mind, I’ll come and visit often to help you relieve your boredom.” Then, she looked to the left and to the right before she asked, “I’m assuming your grandson is rarely at home? It’s the same for me as well. My husband is busy with work, and my son is at school most of the time. I’m the only one left in the huge house, and there’s no one for me to talk to. It’ll be nice if I can visit the Old Madam frequently.”

Jiang Jin only smiled ambiguously and did not respond. She was in a different league from Su Tong, after all. If Su Tong was considered a genius in the workplace, then she was like God in the workplace. Su Tong’s meager skills and petty tricks were really nothing in her eyes.

Nevertheless, Jiang Jin was unaware of the purpose of Su Tong’s visit. She had seen Song Ning’s expression changed drastically when Song Ning heard Su Tong had come to visit. Her grandson and her granddaughter-in-law were her treasures so she would make sure to protect them no matter what.

In the end, Jiang Jin only asked, “How old is your son?”

Su Tong’s smile froze. Old Madam Mu was indeed amazing. She smiled sheepishly and said, “He’s 16 years old and is going through the rebellious phase. He’s rather difficult to deal with at this time. I only hope he has a bright future. Even if he’s only half as outstanding as your grandson, I’d be satisfied. President Mu is so young and promising; I really envy you.”

Jiang Jin only smiled as she picked up the cup of tea. She was not going to be modest if someone praised her grandson.

Su Tong decided to test the water so she pretended to ask casually, “President Mu is so outstanding; I wonder which young lady will be lucky enough to marry him in the future. After all, he’s the number one bachelor in M City.”

At this moment, Yu took Jiang Jin’s teacup away before she said, “Old Madam, the Young Madam doesn’t allow you to drink tea.”

Following that, Yu turned to the helper behind her and took a cup from a tray before placing it in front of Jiang Jin. “This is the fruit tea Young Madam made for you. Have a taste…”

After Jiang Jin took a sip, she nodded. “It’s delicious!”

Yu smiled before she dismissed the helper.

Upon hearing this, Su Tong feigned surprise and asked, “President Mu is already married?”
