Mu Chen and Cheng Che’s expressions were rather unsightly at the moment.
Cheng Che had already called the police and contacted the lawyer.
At this moment, the two brothers were unable to leave since the crowd had surrounded them.
At this moment, the sound of clapping rang in the air, attracting everyone’s attention.
When Mu Chen and Cheng Che looked in the direction of the sound, they saw Jiang Jin and Sister Yu, who was walking behind Jiang Jin and clapping at the same time.
Sister Yu only stopped clapping when she drew close to the crowd.
Upon seeing this, Mu Chen and Cheng Che felt very embarrassed for being seen in such a state. The duo called out sheepishly, “Grandma.”
Jiang Jin swept her gaze across the crowd and loudly said, “I apologize for the commotion. These two young men are my grandsons…”
A few people nodded in understanding upon hearing Jiang Jin’s words. Following that, a few people began to complain to Jiang Jin, whose graceful bearing seemed peerless despite being dressed rather simply.
“Hey, did you know your grandson abandoned this young woman here?”
“Old lady, you have to educate your grandson. A man has to be responsible for his actions. How can he bully a girl?”
“Based on all your appearances, I can see you’re all from a decent family. How did you educate your grandson for him to be so ruthless?”
“This is too outrageous.”
“That’s right!”
Jiang Jin’s expression did not change as she raised her hand, causing the people in the surroundings to fall silent. Then, she looked at her grandsons before she shifted her eyes to Gao Wen.
Gao Wen did not dare to meet Jiang Jin’s gaze and lowered her head guiltily. To be honest, she did not expect Ye Xin to make such a big fuss. However, when she saw everyone criticizing Mu Chen and that Mu Chen was unable to defend himself, she felt a glimmer of hope in her heart. She could not help but hope Ye Xin’s move of causing a commotion would be effective. Moreover, Ye Xin’s reputation was already so bad. If they could divert the attention and the public’s criticism to the Mu family, perhaps, Ye Xin could garner some sympathy. Therefore, she retreated silently to the side and did not say anything or do anything to stop Ye Xin, allowing Ye Xin to do as she pleased.
Ye Xin was an actress; after all; performing came naturally to her. The more people watched her, the more she got into her performance.
Gao Wen was inwardly proud of her daughter when she saw this. However, Jiang Jin’s sudden appearance caused her heart to tighten.
What kind of person was Jiang Jin? To this day, she was still the backbone of the Mu family and the Mu Group. Although she was already over 70 years old, Gao Wen did not dare to act impudently in front of her. Most importantly, her issue with the Mu family was still pending; just a word from Jiang Jin would determine whether she was sued or not.
As soon as Ye Xin saw Jiang Jin, she cried even harder than before. She called out sorrowfully, “Grandma…”
Ye Xin’s delicate appearance tugged at everyone’s heartstrings immediately.
Jiang Jin looked distressed as she asked, “Child, don’t cry. Tell Grandma, why are you so upset?”
Upon seeing Jiang Jin’s attitude, the crowd’s indignance eased immediately. Based on Jiang Jin’s behavior, they thought she must be a reasonable person.
Ye Xin continued crying, showing no signs of stopping. She was crying so hard that she was unable to speak.
Mu Chen and Cheng Che’s expressions remained dark.
On the other hand, Jiang Jin remained unflustered. Seeing Ye Xin did not speak, she raised her voice slightly and asked, “Didn’t you say to Mu Chen it’s not a crime to love someone? Grandma agrees there’s nothing wrong with loving someone…”
The crowd nodded in agreement.
Ye Xin raised her head in surprise when she heard Jiang Jin’s words. She looked at Jiang Jin in a daze as tears clung to her eyelashes, making her look even more pitiful.
Jiang Jin’s smile was kind and gentle as she said, “You said that you were born to be a member of the Mu family, and if you die, you want to become a ghost of the Mu family. Ye Xin, if you and Mu Chen are truly in love, then these words have greatly moved my heart.”
