Song Ning really wanted to applaud Mu Chen. Who knew he had a black-bellied side to him as well?
However, there were still some people who were unafraid of death.
A few elders carefully proceeded with their plan and pleaded with Mu Chen. They said as the eldest son of the Mu family's main branch, it was inappropriate for Mu Qing to stay outside. It was best if Mu Qing could return to the family home. They even suggested that Mu Qing be given a role in the company even if the role was not an important one. In their opinion, when a family was united, success was sure to follow. The Mu family was now thriving under Mu Chen's leadership. If Mu Qing entered the company as well, they believed the Mu family would prosper even more.
The elders surrounded Jiang Jin and spoke up one after another while Mu Chen and Song Ning stood behind her.
Mu Chen put his hand on Jiang Jin's shoulder and gently tapped it, indicating that she should hold her temper and not act rashly.
Jiang Jin, naturally, understood the two youngsters' thoughts. She had calmed down by now and could see that these relatives were trying to target Mu Chen. She also knew Mu Qing was determined to return to the Mu family. This was bound to be another test on Mu Chen and Mu Qing's already strenuous relationship. She also understood Mu Chen did not want her to speak and planned to deal with it himself. She would follow his plan. After all, this was no longer ten years ago when he still needed her to support him.
When everyone finally finished speaking their minds, Mu Qing finally walked over, looking anxious and ill at ease.
One of the seemingly kind elders said, "Mu Qing, you've left the Mu family for a long time. It'll take some time to get used to now that you've returned. Fortunately, Mu Chen is your son. There are no eternal feuds between fathers and sons, after all. In the future, the Mu family will depend on you father and son. You have to get along well with each other..."
Mu Qing nodded humbly and thanked the uncle.
At this moment, Mu Chen said in an even tone, "There's no need for us to get along with each other. From tomorrow onward, I'm taking time off from the company. There's no need to ask for instructions from me regarding the Mu family and the company."
Everyone fell silent immediately.
Even Song Ning was taken aback by Mu Chen's words; she looked at him in confusion.
Sensing Song Ning's gaze on him, Mu Chen lowered his head and smiled at her. "I've decided to take time off; I can help you with your thesis as well. Once you've completed your thesis, we'll get married and travel. If Grandma is willing, she can come with us as well. I think I want to spend time with you and Grandma for a long time..." His voice was gentle when he spoke; this tone of voice was only reserved for his grandmother and his wife.
It took the elders a long time to recover from Mu Chen's words.
