Mu Chen smiled faintly when he heard his grandmother's words. He said to Song Ning, "Look at how much Grandma loves you..."
Mu Chen felt his heart ache when he saw Song Ning's pitiful and delicate appearance and her face that was stained with tears.
Nevertheless, Mu Chen did not let his emotions blind his judgment. He understood that he could not act recklessly. If the Mu family acted out of the norm, the public would see it as an admission of guilt. At that time, they would draw even more criticism. The best thing to do now was to do nothing.
After Jiang Jin listened to Mu Chen's explanation, she said furiously, "Then are we supposed to let them talk nonsense? The old woman from the Fu family is really despicable! She even stooped so low as to lie to the public!"
Mu Chen said reassuringly, "Grandma, calm down. In my opinion, there's more to this than meets the eyes. With the Fu family's ability, they wouldn't have been able to come up with such a drastic measure..."
Jiang Jin and Song Ning were taken aback by Mu Chen's words.
Jiang Jin asked, "You're saying someone else is pulling the strings from behind the scenes?"
Mu Chen nodded. "Cheng Che discovered that the Fu family's business isn't doing well in the past six months, and they're in a hurry to raise funds. Currently, there are two companies that are interested in Zhuang Ji... That's why the Fu family is so desperate to get their hands on Zhuang Ji..."
Song Ning caught the main point of Mu Chen's words immediately. She asked, "Which two companies?"
Mu Chen looked at Song Ning and slowly said, "The Ye Group and the Ning Group..."
Song Ning nodded; she was not surprised and had expected as much. It seemed like there was no end between her and the Ning family.
Jiang Jin sneered. "As it turns out, it's them! Despicable! The Fu family is really useless. Mu Chen, what do you think we should do then? Don't tell me we have to continue letting them slander us? How can we let Ningning be wronged?"
Song Ning wiped her tears away before she calmly asked, "What should we do then?"
Mu Chen was proud that Song Ning managed to regain her composure. He said to Jiang Jin, "Grandma, don't you think she's amazing? She regained her composure so quickly; she's just like you..."
Jiang Jin said, feeling distressed, "What's so good about being like me? I just don't want Ningning to suffer or be criticized. She has suffered enough..."
