When Song Ning's mother and Ms. Yun Yao started the business, they had trademarked and applied for patents. Everything was registered under Song Ning's name.
Back then, her mother had wanted to register under both Song Ning and Fu Le's names. However, Ms. Yun Yao had refused. She had said that a good man should not seek help from his parents and should forge his own path. Apart from that, she had also said Fu Le was the heir of the Fu family. Song Ning was different because she was a girl and had to rely on someone. Her mother could not dissuade Ms. Yun Yao so everything was registered under Song Ning's name in the end.
Song Ning did not expect the Fu family to covet the business Ms. Yun Yao left behind. Moreover, it seemed like they would do anything to get it. It was obvious Grandma Fu did not like her, and yet, Grandma Fu spent so much effort pretending to treat her like her granddaughter. She found the deception rather scary.
When she thought about Mu Chen's relative and the Ning family, she could not help but feel, at the very least, those hateful people openly opposed them. This was much kinder than the Fu family's deception.
Meanwhile, Fu Le finally managed to coax Feng Man into smiling.
Feng Man said coquettishly, "Then, you better not have any thoughts about Song Ning. I'll make sure to keep an eye on you..."
"Alright, alright. Why don't I go over to your place tonight?" Fu Le said happily.
"You're annoying!" Feng Man hit Fu Le playfully.
Song Ning no longer wanted to listen to the duo. She left quietly with legs that felt weak and a numb heart.
Her feelings at this moment were indescribable. She could not imagine what would have happened to her and Zhuang Ji if she had married Fu Le that day. It was likely that her mother and Ms. Yun Yao's hard work would disappear in the Fu family's hands. She was so lucky to have met Mu Chen and Cheng Che. At this moment, she felt incredibly grateful to have met Mu Chen that day.
As she raised her head to look in the direction of the dazzling setting sun, tears began to fall from her eyes.
It must have been her mother and Ms. Yun Yao protecting her and Zhuang Ji.
At this moment, her phone suddenly rang. It was Mu Chen.
When the call connected, she heard Mu Chen's warm voice. "I'll pick you up after work. Let's go to the supermarket since we've invited everyone over for dinner tomorrow."
"Okay," Song Ning easily agreed. After a beat, she called out softly, "Mu Chen..."
However, after calling out to him, she remained silent.
"What's wrong?" Mu Chen asked.
"Mu Chen..." Song Ning said again.
"Hmm," Mu Chen replied.
