Sir, How About A Marriage novel Chapter 71

Mu Chen shook his head. "We're not related even though we grew up together. Cheng Che's grandmother and my grandmother are very good friends. There were some accidents in his home and he was left to his grandmother's care. Cheng Che's mother died during childbirth and left him behind. In fact, he has an inheritance of his own, but he refuses to forge his own path and insists on sticking to me instead. He's just trying to cheat my money off me."

Song Ning chuckled before she said, "It's obvious both of you have a very good relationship. You seem even closer than brothers. In fact, even Grandma treats him like a grandson."

Mu Chen nodded. "You're right. When I was young, I used to make my grandma angry, but he was really good at making her happy. He's rather useful as well when he pleaded for mercy on my behalf when I was beaten up..."

Based on what she had gathered so far, Song Ning could tell Jiang Jin was rather strict with Mu Chen. After a moment, she smiled and said, "Then, doesn't this mean you owe Cheng Che a lot of favours?"

Mu Chen also smiled. "I guess so, but I have no intention of returning the favor. After all, most of the beatings I received when I was young was because of him"

Song Ning thought that Cheng Che's quick wit complemented Mu Chen's calmness. Jiang Jin was also a blessing to Mu Chen.

Meanwhile, Jiahui took pictures of the shop before sending them to her cousin after she agreed to meet Cheng Che with her cousin. Following that, she received a piece of news that surprised Song Ning. It seemed like her cousin had some knowledge of embroidery as well.

Song Ning was very happy; the studio's progress was coming along very nicely. Recently, everything had been going rather smoothly. She wondered if God took pity on her and decided to bless her.

...

After clarifying matters with Fu Le, Song Ning thought their paths would no longer cross in the future. She did not expect Fu Le's grandmother to be admitted to the hospital the next day.

Fu Le looked for her and told her that his grandmother wanted to meet her.

She had thought Fu Le's grandmother was seriously ill, therefore, she felt relieved after speaking to the doctor on duty. It seemed like Grandma Fu, who was in her seventies, did not have any major problems apart from her high blood pressure, blood sugar level, and lipids.

Song Ning remained silent. She was not particularly close to Fu Guo or Grandma Fu in the past. She was only close to Ms. Yun Yao when Ms. Yun Yao was around. Over the past two years when Ms. Yun Yao was not around, she rarely visited the Fu family. Moreover, she had a feeling that Grandma Fu and Fu Guo did not think much of her but were somehow frightened of her? She was not good at dealing with people, to begin with, so she decided to maintain a distance. For all these reasons, she did not know how to respond to those words so she could only nod and smile perfunctorily.

At this moment, Grandma Fu called out to Fu Le, "Spend more time with Song Ning. . Boys should be responsible."

Fu Le quickly agreed.

After a moment, Song Ning said she still had classes to attend and took her leave. Before she left, she motioned Fu Le to follow her out.

When they were outside, before Song Ning could speak, Fu Le hurriedly said, "Song Ning, it's not good for Grandma to get angry or anxious. We can't tell her that we've broken up. It's not good to agitate her emotions now."

Song Ning looked at Fu Le silently before she said, "But you can't keep this from her forever, right?"
