Mu Chen looked at the fleeting smile on his son’s face, and his heart was filled with mixed feelings.

Jiang Jin smiled at her great-grandson and said, “Baby, are you happy to see Daddy? Do you like Daddy?”

The baby gurgled in response.

Jiang Jin’s heart melted again upon seeing this. “My precious grandson!”

When Song Ning, who had changed into a white silk dress, saw this scene, she could not help but frown. Mu Chen only had eyes for his son; no one else could fit in his heart. She walked gracefully toward Mu Chen and Jiang Jin before she said with a pout, “Grandma, Hubby, I was wrong…”

Jiang Jin looked up at Song Ning. A smile appeared on her face instinctually, but she did not say anything.

On the other hand, although Mu Chen did not say anything as well, he did not continue to rebuke her.

Song Ning’s mood brightened immediately. She squeezed into the seat next to Mu Chen and hugged his arm before she asked, “Do you think this dress looks good on me?”

Her smile was so bright and beautiful that even Jiang Jin and Mu Chen felt it was incredibly dazzling. Nevertheless, it did not escape the duo’s notice that since she came downstairs, she did not even spare a glance for the baby.

Jiang Jin gestured at the baby and said softly, “Baby, your Mommy didn’t see you smile earlier… He looks really good when he smiled…”

Song Ning looked at the baby for a moment before she said, “Is that so? Anyway, he should be able to smile at this age; it’s nothing special. Grandma, don’t you think the baby’s development is a little slow? Why don’t I bring him to see a pediatrician tomorrow to get a checkup? He has been eating and sleeping every day. Don’t you think his brain might be underdeveloped?”

Jiang Jin and Mu Chen looked at her in shock.

Mu Chen frowned before he said angrily, “Is there a mother like you who speaks about her child in this manner? Song Ning, is he your child? Why do I feel like you really despise him?”

These words hit a little close to home for Ye Xin who was pretending to be Song Ning. She shrank back under Mu Chen’s fierce gaze. Then, she hurriedly forced a smile on her face and patted Mu Chen’s arm as she said, “What are you talking about? I was just joking. It’s precisely because I gave birth to the baby that I dared to say such words. Since I’m his mother, there shouldn’t be any taboos, right? Grandma?”

At the end of her words, she looked at Jiang Jin for help.

Jiang Jin knew Mu Chen was furious. She smiled and tried to smooth things over. “Mu Chen, if things aren’t going well at work, you shouldn’t vent your anger at home. Have you forgotten your promise to Ningning in the past? You promised that you won’t vent your frustrations at work on her.”

Song Ning, who had found support, immediately said, “That’s right. Mu Chen, you promised you won’t vent your anger on me if you’re frustrated at work. Fortunately, Grandma can testify for me.” Then, she moved to sit next to Jiang Jin and hugged Jiang Jin’s arm as she said, “Grandma, look at him! He’s always bullying me.”

There was an imperceptible change in the expressions of both the grandmother and grandson as they exchanged a look and saw the shock in each other’s eyes.

Mu Chen felt his body trembling at this moment.

Jiang Jin mustered up all her strength to keep her voice steady as she said solemnly, “Mu Chen, I think it’s best you stay home. Go to the study and reflect on yourself. Go now.”

Mu Chen looked and Jiang Jin and called out, “Grandma…”

Jiang Jin waved her hand dismissively. “Go now. Don’t make me repeat myself.”

Mu Chen stood up. His legs were weak. Before he left, he turned to look at the baby again.

Upon seeing this, Jiang Jin said,

The expressions of the grandfather and grandson were unnoticeable.

The two of them looked at each other and saw the shock in each other’s eyes.

Mu Chen felt like his entire body was trembling.

Jiang Jin used all her strength to steady her voice and said solemnly, “Mu Chen, I think you shouldn’t go anywhere this morning. Go to the study and think about it! Go Now!”

Mu Chen looked at Jiang Jin and muttered, “Grandma –“

Jiang Jin waved her hand. “Go quickly! Don’t let me say it again!”

Mu Chen stood up. He felt that his legs were weak.

Mu Chen turned to look at the baby. Jiang Jin said in a deep voice, “I know you’re his father, but my precious great-grandson won’t leave my side.”n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

Upon hearing these words, Mu Chen did not even spare a glance at Song Ning and made his way upstairs.

Song Ning was slightly stunned.. She said timidly, “Grandma, I… It seems like I made Mu Chen angry again…”
