Ye Xin felt chills in her heart. When she recalled Jiang Jin’s tone and expression today, she paled in fright.
Mu Qing was Jiang Jin’s biological son. If she did not care about their relationship as mother and son, she would have long gotten rid of Mu Qing. Mu Qing had schemed countless times before and was still scheming, but he was fine. Was it not because Jiang Jin turned a blind eye to his schemes?
However, who was Ye Xin to Jiang Jin? What would Jiang Jin do once she discovered her true identity? Liang Zhou had tried for so many years, and yet, she still failed to gain Jiang Jin’s approval.
When Ye Xin thought about Liang Zhou, her heart tightened even more.
Gao Wen, who was unaware of the thought in Ye Xin’s mind, continued to say, “Xinxin, I’ve spoken to my master about you. She said that your current situation is very dangerous, and she had instructed me to bring you away no matter what. What you’re doing now isn’t beneficial to you at all! You’re being used as a stepping stone! Xinxin, I’m your mother; I won’t harm you!”
‘Stepping stone!’ Ye Xin raised her head suddenly as her eyes widened.
It was obvious that Jiang Jin had never liked Liang Zhou before. However, Ye Xin’s appearance had inadvertently helped Liang Zhou. Liang Zhou was a regular guest at the Mu family house because of her, and as a result, Liang Zhou had slowly gained Jiang Jin’s tacit approval. Jiang Jin had invited Liang Zhou to help her host the party. However, she, the dignified Young Madam of the Mu family, was not even informed of the matter.
Chills ran up Ye Xin’s spine immediately. She leaned against the table before she weakly slid down to the floor as a terrifying thought appeared in her mind.
‘Is Mu Qing using me to help Liang Zhou? Do all my actions only serve to help Liang Zhou? After, she’s his legal wife! What does his promise to me count as? What did he promise me in the first place?’
Ye Xin’s mind went blank. Mu Qing had never promised her eternal love. In fact, he had always refused her. She was the one who fell in love with him and entangled herself with him. Did she even have a future with him? Would Jiang Jin allow someone who was once her granddaughter-in-law to become her daughter-in-law?
With all these thoughts in her mind, Ye Xin felt like she was going to go crazy.
At this moment, Gao Wen rushed over and hugged Ye Xin. “Xinxin, follow me home. Leave this place with me, okay? I’ll definitely protect you!”
Ye Xin reached out and gently pushed Gao Wen away. As she looked at her mother’s face, she said, “Leave this place? And go where? Where do you think we can go?”
Ye Xin smiled bitterly before she slowly rose to her feet. She wiped the tears off her face and sniffled before she smiled brightly at Gao Wen. “I’m not going anywhere. I’m Song Ning, the Young Madam of the Mu family. No one can do anything to me! Even if they want to get rid of me or if Mu Chen divorces me, they’ll still have to give me a share of their assets. After that, I’ll go and look for my father!”
Ye Xin’s smile widened as she said smugly, “My father is Ning Zhe, the Chairman of the Ning Corporation. He treats me very well. All I need to do is ask, and he’ll give me money and send help!”
Gao Wen was shocked. “You went to look for Ning Zhe?”
Ye Xin nodded. “That’s right! Why can’t I look for him? I’m his daughter. All I did was smile at him, and he gave me a credit card. He told me to spend it on whatever I want. When he heard I don’t know how to manage Zhuang Ji, he immediately hired someone to help me. He’s a great father. As long as I manage Zhuang Ji well, what can the Mu family say? I’ll continue being the glorious Young Madam of the Mu family!”
Gao Wen looked at Ye Xin and shook her head repeatedly. “You’re crazy! You’re really crazy!”
