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.
When Grandma Fu saw Song Ning, she held Song Ning's hand affectionately.
"Song Ning, why didn't you visit for such a long time? Grandma really misses you!"
Song Ning turned to look at Fu Le and found him winking at her meaningfully. In the end, she could
only say, "Grandma, I've been busy recently, and I don't have any holidays either."
Grandma Fu sighed. "You're too capable just like Fu Le's mother. It doesn't matter how high a girl's
education is. No matter how capable a girl is, it's still better to marry into a good family. What's the point
in exhausting yourself? Look at you; you're so thin now. You should look after yourself and eat more.
Your mother is no longer around so there's no one to look after you. Don't eat out all the time. They're
not good for your health." Then, she turned to Fu Guo, Fu Le's father, and said, "When the
housekeeper comes to deliver food tomorrow, bring some for Song Ning as well."
Fu Guo quickly nodded in agreement. "Alright, mom. Don't worry. We'll definitely take good care of
Song Ning." After that, he turned to look at Song Ning and said amiably, "Is the load of your work really
heavy? I heard Chinese medicine students will have to find a mentor. Do you need my help to look for a
mentor?"
Song Ning quickly shook her head. "There's no need to trouble yourself. I'm following Professor Li Sen
now."
Fu Guo quickly said, "That's great. Well, you'll have to work hard and establish a connection with him
so he'll agree to be your mentor. That way, your net worth will be higher after you graduate. Song Ning, NôvelDrama.Org (C) content.
you've always been focused on your studies so you're not aware of how society works and the ups and
downs of human relationships. It's difficult for you to do everything on your own, and it's best to have
connections..."
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?"
