Chapter 190 - Madness
Chapter 190: Madness
Gao Wen had already smashed everything she could in the ward, and yet, she still could not completely vent her anger.
The young nurse who heard the commotion stood at the entrance in fear. She did not dare to stop nor persuade Gao Wen. She only hoped the security guards would quickly arrive.
Due to the volume of the commotion, many patients and their family members had gathered around the ward to have a look.
“Who’s this person? What’s happening?”
“She’s the Madam of the Ye family of the Ye Group! Don’t you know her? Her daughter is a very popular celebrity, Ye Xin!”
“You’re not referring to that Ye Xin who became infamous recently, are you?”
“Hey, how many Ye Xins are there in the entertainment industry? How else could it be but her?”
“So what’s happening here? Whose ward is this?”
“This is the private ward of the Young Madam of the Mu family. A few days ago, she was hit by Ye Xin’s car and was hospitalized. These few days Old Madam Mu had been visiting her. I don’t know why she isn’t in the room right now…”
“Ah, I saw President Mu pushing her out on the wheelchair earlier. It seems like he was taking her out for fresh air and to bask in the sun. Young Madam Mu looks rather pitiful; her ankle is broken…”
“It’s not hard to figure out what’s happening here. It’s all due to jealousy and hatred. Young Madam Mu used to be a child star. Later on, she retired from the entertainment industry and studied medicine instead. I heard she’s studying for her PH.D. now. She’s still rather popular among the fans of the movie she acted in. Recently, to discourage fans from unnecessarily spending money on her, she set up a charity that made great contributions toward those impoverished villages located in the remote mountain ranges. On the contrary, Ye Xin was caught and exposed for faking her charity work. How embarrassing. In any case, both women are now hospitalized in the same hospital. If you ask me, this Madam Ye must be here to vent her anger…”
“Isn’t she being too unreasonable?”
At this moment, Liang Zhou who was standing in the crowd decided to fan the fire. “How’s she being unreasonable? I heard that Young Madam Mu stole Ye Xin’s fiancé, right?”
Someone glanced at Liang Zhou and replied immediately, “If you don’t know anything about the matter, it’s best if you don’t speak nonsense. President Mu has already said multiple times that he fell in love at first sight with Young Madam Mu and had never been interested in another woman. He even said that Young Madam Mu is the only one for him. How moving…”
“That’s right, that’s right. President Mu even said they will only separate in death.”
“Most importantly, Old Madam Mu loves her granddaughter-in-law so much that she treats her granddaughter-in-law like her biological granddaughter. I’ve never seen such a good relationship between a mother-in-law and her daughter-in-law…”
“Hey, how is Old Madam Mu her mother-in-law?!”
“Right, right, right. I meant to say grandmother-in-law. However, I heard that Old Madam Mu also had a good relationship with her late daughter-in-law. They never had any conflicts between them. In any case, the family is too harmonious…”
Liang Zhou felt anger suffocating her. She really wondered what kind of spell Song Ning had cast that even strangers would speak up for her. She clenched her hands so tightly that her nails dug into the flesh of her palms, almost drawing blood. At this moment, she saw Su Tong standing among the crowd from the corners of her eyes as well. When she saw the unsightly expression on Su Tong’s face, she sneered inwardly. ‘Song Ning, no matter who well-liked you are, it’s impossible to win over everyone’s hearts. The higher you are, the harder you’ll fall. Just wait and see. Although there are many who like you, there are also many who hate you. Those who like you might stand up for you, but those who hate you will definitely cause trouble for you…’
Meanwhile, the crowd gathered at the entrance of Song Ning’s private ward was still animatedly discussing the matter. They looked at Gao Wen as though they were looking at a big joke.
At this moment, Gao Wen had lost all rationality and had shut out the outside world. She only wanted to vent her anger now. She hated Song Ning; she hated Zhuang Yi. She did not understand why the heavens treated her in this manner. She could still accept it if the heavens treated her unfairly, but why was the heavens treating her daughter unfairly as well?
Song Ning was doted on by the Mu family as though she was some priceless treasure while Ye Xin, her daughter, had nothing left. Whether it was her career or reputation, they were all gone. Most importantly, her daughter was seriously injured.
Gao Wen thought this was all Song Ning’s fault. She really wished she could kill Song Ning. She wanted to get rid of Song Ning for Ye Xin; she would not allow Song Ning to become a stumbling block for her daughter anymore!
At this time, Mu Chen and Song Ning had just emerged from the elevator. They were both puzzled when they saw the crowd gathered at the entrance of Song Ning’s private ward. She was staying in the VIP ward, hence, the people hospitalized on this floor were no ordinary people. In fact, most of the people here could be considered acquaintances.
Song Ning asked in confusion, “What happened?”
At this time, a few security guards rushed from another elevator and quickly made their way to Song Ning’s room.
Soon enough, a miserable cry and a string of expletives rang from the room.
At this time, the doors of the elevator opened again. This time, it was Ye Cheng who emerged from the elevator.
Gao Wen, who was forcibly dragged out of Song Ning’s room by the security guards, saw Song Ning, Mu Chen, and Ye Cheng immediately. She screamed, “Ye Cheng, strangle that woman to death!”
Ye Cheng’s expression was extremely unsightly at this moment.
Mu Chen’s expression was equally as unsightly. He stepped forward, shielding Song Ning.
Ye Cheng smiled bitterly and said, “Mu Chen, I’m sorry…”
Meanwhile, Gao Wen was still screaming incessantly like a madwoman as she was pushed into the elevator by the security guards. “Ye Cheng, if you’re my son, then you better kill that woman for me!”
Peace was finally restored when the doors of the elevator closed.
Ye Cheng was utterly ashamed as he stood in front of Mu Chen and Song Ning. He said sincerely, “I’m sorry.”
Mu Chen lowered his head to look at Song Ning.
Upon seeing this, Ye Cheng knew what Mu Chen meant.
