Mu Chen did not expect Song Ning would accept this so calmly. He was finally able to relax. Nevertheless, he felt rather suspicious about the way Song Ning had found out about this matter. Therefore, he asked Sister Yu to secretly find out if the doctor had unintentionally leaked this matter or if someone had deliberately leaked this matter.

…

Liang Zhou silently observed the situation for a few days. The news had already silently spread throughout the VIP ward so she could not help but feel anxious when she discovered there was no movement from Song Ning’s side.

In her opinion, it was impossible for Song Ning not to be upset. There was no way Song Ning could remain unaffected once she heard about the matter. Moreover, Song Ning was injured and was not very stable.

Liang Zhou racked her brains but could not understand it no matter what. She truly did not want to let such a good opportunity go to waste.

Liang Zhou was still mulling over the matter when Mu Lan came to visit Mu Qing.

Mu Lan was not like the other members of the Mu family who snuck around when they came to see Mu Qing. Instead, she openly visited Mu Qing, her cousin.

“Brother Qing, I really can’t stand those people. Why are they so cowardly? They’re so afraid of Mu Chen; they’re like mice in front of a cat.” Mu Lan sighed. “However, I can’t blame them. Mu Chen is really ruthless after all. During the new year’s eve banquet, none of the members who spoke up for you had a good ending.” A hint of blame could be heard in her voice in the latter part of her words.

Liang Zhou was slightly annoyed, but she did not dare to say anything.

On the other hand, Mu Qing said apologetically, “I’m the one who caused trouble for everyone…”

Mu Lan softened immediately upon hearing those words. She said, “Brother Qing, what are you talking about? There’s no need for you to say such words. We grew up together; we’re like brother and sister. There’s no need for you to feel apologetic…” Then, she looked at Liang Zhou before she sighed and continued to say, “I really pity sister-in-law. She’s been wronged for as long as she’s married to you…”

‘This Mu Lan has such low EQ! It’s a wonder she managed to survive in the Mu family for so long without being beaten to death! She should probably thank the Mu family ancestors!’ Upon hearing Mu Lan’s ‘sympathetic’ words, the fire in Liang Zhou’s heart surged.

However, after thinking about it for a moment, Liang Zhou felt that Mu Lan could be of help to them in the future. Therefore, she brought a gift box from the cabinet and handed it to Mu Lan. “Sister, you came at the right time. If you didn’t come today, I would’ve called to ask you out to meet me outside in case you don’t like coming to the hospital. I wanted to give this to you.”

Mu Lan held the gift box and asked, “What is it?”

Mu Qing looked at Liang Zhou approvingly before he said to Mu Lan with a smile, “Open it and see. Your sister-in-law personally picked it out for you. No one else has it…”

When Mu Lan opened the box and saw the jade bangle lying quietly inside, her heart was moved. She looked at Mu Qing and Liang Zhou and asked, “This… This is for me?”

Liang Zhou smiled and nodded. She stepped forward and helped Mu Lan put the jade bangle on her left hand. “I still remember the first year I entered the Mu family; I saw you wearing a dark green Qipao with gold details. I remember you have very beautiful hands as well. Previously, when I went shopping with your brother, I saw this bangle and thought about you immediately. This bangle is rather unique so I bought it with the intention to give it to you…”

Liang Zhou’s words sounded incredibly pleasing to Mu Lan’s ears; she was touched. “Sister-in-law, you remember such a thing?”

Liang Zhou smiled and replied, “How could I forget seeing such an outstanding person on such an important day?”

Liang Zhou deliberately sighed and said, “I originally wanted to buy one for Song Ning as well, but I don’t know if it’s a good idea. She’s a really good girl, and the Old Madam treats her so well that everything good is given to her. I’m just afraid that she or the Old Madam will despise my gift…”

These words successfully stoked Mu Lan’s anger. She said indignantly, “Sister-in-law, you praise her too much! How could she dare to despise your gift? Does she think her position as the Young Madam of the Mu family is stable?”
