Chapter 589 Depression
Jiahui smiled as she leaned closer to Cheng Che.
Cheng Che looked at Jiahui’s smiling face and returned the smile. The depression he felt in his heart had dissipated a little.
Since Mu Chen had gone home, Cheng Che felt less worried about Jiang Jin. His brother had protected him since he was young and even bore the name of a bully. With his brother around, he always felt confident.
When Jiahui saw that Cheng Che’s mood had improved, she asked, “Why did they suddenly come to look for you?”
Cheng Che frowned slightly. “Someone came to Zhuang Ji looking for me today, and it turned out to be my sister. She asked if I wanted to go home with her directly or if I preferred to wait for my family to ask for my return from the Mu family. She accused the Mu family of deliberately hiding me and raising me for so many years despite knowing that I have a family; she accused the Mu family of abducting me. When I heard her words, I was furious. I only thought about going home to see Grandma. I was worried they would look for Grandma and say those words to her. Can you imagine how angry Grandma would be if she hears those words?”
Jiahui was stunned. “How could they be so unreasonable? How can they baselessly accuse someone? Isn’t this like repaying kindness with evil?”
Cheng Che’s frown deepened upon hearing these words. After pondering on it for a moment, Jiahui asked, “After your biological grandmother left, did Grandma contact your family?”
Cheng Che nodded and solemnly said, “After I turned 18, Grandma told me about my family. After that, she hired a lawyer to transfer the properties my biological grandmother left me to my name. Then, she told the lawyer to contact the Yin family to tell them about my existence.”
Jiahui sighed in relief after hearing these words. “Grandma really does things very well. We should learn from her. Since that’s the case, those people have no reason to say Grandma abducted you. With a lawyer as a witness, what are you worried about?” Then, she continued to say, “You get flustered too easily. You have to learn from Grandma; stay calm no matter what you face. Think about Song Ning’s matter. Faced with such a huge matter, Grandma was still very calm. When I think about what had happened, I can’t help but feel afraid. If it weren’t for Grandma, no matter how well you planned, it’d be impossible to have such a perfect result.”
Cheng Che felt at ease after listening to Jiahui’s words.
Jiahui asked again, “Why did they suddenly look for you with such urgency after ignoring you for so many years? Why do they want you to return so badly? To inherit the family business?”
Cheng Che replied, “I don’t know. I didn’t let her finish what she wanted to say before I left. At that time, all I could think about was a group of people going to the house to cause trouble for Grandma. I was really anxious at that time. At that time, I was so flustered that I even called Brother Chen to tell him that he’s my brother and I’m his brother no matter what.”
Cheng Che’s eyes reddened again, and he turned his head to the side.
Jiahui reached out and patted his head gently. She finally understood why Cheng Che had gotten into an accident.
Before Mu Chen went home, he had called home and asked Mr. Jiang if there were any visitors today.
Mr. Jiang replied, “No one came to visit. The little master insisted that I accompany him to pick cherries for the Old Madam.”
Mu Chen disconnected the call after hearing that.
Song Ning, who had heard Mr. Jiang’s words, smiled. “Mr. Jiang has been very energetic recently.” After a moment, she asked, “Mu Chen, if the Yin family really demands Cheng Che’s return, what should we do?”
Mu Chen smiled. “How old is Cheng Che? He’s about to get married, and they’re asking for him now? Do they think they can have what they want? He’s an adult. It’s up to him what he wants to do with his life and to live wherever he wants. He can move out and live with Jiahui after they getmarried if that’s what he wants. I don’t know why that silly kid is so nervous.”
Song Ning did not smile. Instead, she said solemnly, “Mu Chen, you still have to treat this matter seriously. Pay more attention to Cheng Che. The Mu family is your biological family, but it’s not Cheng Che’s biological family. After so many years, it’s impossible for him to not feel pressured. If his family truly wants to reconnect with him, then that’s fine. However, if they have ulterior motives, you can’t let him face this alone.”
