Chapter 93 - Lawyer

Song Ning felt that Mu Chen was incredibly childlike today. He was clearly in a great mood. As they wandered the shopping mall, he would lift her hand up from time to time to look at the ring on her hand. She asked, amused, “Don’t you think you’re being a little childish?”

Mu Chen said, “When you’re doing your rounds tomorrow, you should wear the ring. If the Fu family says anything, just show them the ring.”

Song Ning smiled and shook her head. “Let alone a ring, even if I show them our marriage certificate, they still would not be convinced. After all, like I said, they have ulterior motives for wanting me to marry into their family. How can they easily accept that I’m already married?”

Mu Chen’s expression turned solemn as he asked, “What ulterior movies?”

Song Ning looked at the bustling stores as she said with a sigh, “The Fu family is in the clothing business. They want the patents from my mother and Ms. Yun Yao.. I’m the owner of the patents and the trademark. I overheard Fu Le’s conversation with Feng Man; that’s how I discovered their objective. I heard Fu Le said that as long as I marry him, the Fu family would have a way of getting the patents. With the patents in hand, the Fu family business will undoubtedly improve. I heard there are already many large groups looking to cooperate with them.”

Mu Chen stopped in his tracks. “Why are you the owner of the trademark and the patents?”

“In the past, Ms. Yun Yao said Fu Le is a boy so he should carve a path of his own. Since I have a girl, these things can be considered as my dowry. Even when I marry, at least I’ll have assets of my own,” Song Ning explained with a hint of sadness in her voice.

Mu Chen sighed. “It’s a pity her son didn’t live up to her expectations.”

Song Ning exhaled before she said, “I wonder now if Ms. Yun Yao was very unhappy back then. She helped my mother again and again and didn’t mention anything about the predicament she was in. Now that both of them are in heaven, they no longer have to worry about these mundane matters…”

Mu Chen was silent. He thought women, especially his grandmother, Song Ning’s mother, and Ms. Yun Yao, were more farsighted than men.

At this moment, Song Ning asked, “Mu Chen, can you introduce a lawyer from your company’s legal department to me. I have a feeling I’ll need a lawyer soon…”

Mu Chen patted her head before he said, “Have you forgotten about Lawyer Yang who kept the things your mother left you? He said that he’ll assist you in whatever you need according to your mother’s wish…”

Song Ning’s eyes lit up. “That’s right! I forgot…”

Mu Chen smiled. “That’s because when he said he’ll assist you, you assumed he was talking about your divorce…”

A sheepish expression appeared on Song Ning’s face as soon as she heard Mu Chen’s words.

Mu Chen tucked her hair behind her ear as he said, “There’ll be no option for a divorce now that you married me. Lawyer Yang won’t ever have to think of handling a divorce case for the rest of his life. He can be your legal consultant for the business. Although the Mu Group has a legal department, I want your business to retain its independence just like your mother and Ms. Yun Yao wanted. However, you must always remember that I’ll always be by your side and be your strongest supporter.”

Song Ning looked up at Mu Chen, moved by his words. She could not help but reach out and wrap her arms around his waist as she murmured, “Thank you, Mu Chen…”

Mu Chen seized the chance and kissed her lightly on her lips. “This is the proper way for you to thank me…”

…

As soon as Ye Cheng entered the house, he heard the sounds of laughter and in the living room. As it turned out, Su Tong, the Madam of the Ning family, was visiting. The three women were chatting enthusiastically at this moment.

When Gao Wen saw Ye Cheng had returned, she said, “How come you’re back so early today? Come here. Madam Ning visited today and brought gifts for all of us…”

Ye Cheng smiled and greeted Su Tong.

Su Tong put her hand on Gao Wen’s arm in an intimate gesture and said, “Your son is so young and talented. I wonder which young lady will be lucky enough to marry him in the future…”

Gao Wen was flattered when she heard Su Tong’s words. She said, “If Madam Ning has a suitable candidate in mind, please make an introduction. I won’t hide it from you; his personal life is giving me a headache.”

Su Tong smiled and said, “What are you saying? As long as your son is willing, the line of the young ladies wanting to marry him could circle around the city three times over.”

Ye Cheng laughed. “Mom, Madam Ning, stop teasing me. Spare me and spare the young ladies in the city.”

Su Tong smiled and said, “I rarely socialize so I don’t know of any suitable candidates. However, there’s no need for you to worry, Madam Ye. Both of your children are one in a million. They’re talented, capable, and good-looking. Look at Miss Ye. Is there any young master who’s worthy of her?”

Upon hearing these words, Gao Wen’s pride grew even more.
