Liang Zhou looked at the mother and son in shock. She did not dare to speak nor did she know what to say. Her brain was still processing the mother and son’s words. What did Jiang Jin mean by asking Mu Qing to make up for past mistakes? Was she the past mistake they mentioned? Her brain was buzzing as she tried to figure out what was happening.
Meanwhile, Jiang Jin nodded in satisfaction after listening to Mu Qing’s reply. Then, she looked at Liang Zhou and said, “Liang Zhou, don’t bother Song Ning anymore. Liang Zhen is watching from three feet above your head…”
Liang Zhou could not help but shrink back in fear.
“Technically, this is Mu Qing’s fault, and it has nothing to do with you. However, you’re Liang Zhen’s sister, and what you did was intentional; it wasn’t an accident. Back then, I’d said many good and bad words. Whether you listen to them or not isn’t any of my business. I don’t want to waste my energy arguing with you…” Jiang Jin slowly said, “You’ve been by Mu Qing’s side for so many years so I can see the depths of your feelings. Like I’d said before, because of Liang Zhen, you won’t be able to enter the Mu family for the rest of your life. This is a fact that can’t be changed. You shouldn’t complain since this is the path you’ve chosen for yourself. I only have two requests for you: one, don’t harbor ill intentions toward the Mu family; two, don’t hurt the members of the Mu family. If you’re able to do these things, I’ll naturally wish for you and Mu Qing to grow old together; I love my son after all. However, if you can’t do these things, then don’t blame me for being merciless…”
Jiang Jin did not mince her words and spoke very bluntly to Liang Zhou.
Liang Zhou did not even dare to breathe heavily and could only lower her head. She had never won a battle with the old lady in front of her. The old lady’s momentum and aura were so strong that they suffocated and suppressed her. No matter what preparations or response she thought up in advance, they would vanish as soon as she faced the old lady. However, who knew where she found her courage at this time; she actually looked at Jiang Jin and asked, “Old Madam, can you tell me why you dislike me so much?”
Tears streamed down Liang Zhou’s face when she asked this question; this had been the demon in her heart for many years. She said through her tears, “If Mu Qing and Liang Zhen’s love was true, I wouldn’t have been able to move him no matter how hard I tried. It’s clear they don’t have a good relationship, but why do you blame everything on me? Old Madam, after so many years, you should know I’m sincere toward Mu Qing, right? However, you still won’t acknowledge me as your daughter-in-law or let me address you as Mother. Don’t you think you’re too cruel to me?”
