Those who could enter were naturally not young and inexperienced. Someone immediately said, "Thank you, Mr. Mu, for giving us this opportunity. We are very grateful for your trust. This is the first time in my career that I have been respected like this. Mr. Mu, thank you!"
The atmosphere was perfectly set, and Lao Jiang spoke at the right moment: "Everyone, the old man is very weak right now, and his emotions cannot fluctuate too much. His heart cannot bear it. Please be gentle with your words."
This is a very euphemistic way of putting it.
"Old man, let's make it short. Mr. Mu Ci and his wife recently moved out of their original home. It is said that it was because of Miss Song Nan, who is Mrs. Mu's adopted daughter. This relationship - can you help me sort it out? And satisfy everyone's curiosity." One person asked politely.
Hearing this, Mu Chen smiled and said, "I thought you would first ask me who would inherit the Mu family. It turns out that you are most interested in the love between wealthy families!"
Someone laughed out loud, and the atmosphere in the ward became less solemn.
Mu Chen sighed softly and spoke slowly, "Mu Ci has always been in poor health. Some doctors even predicted that he wouldn't survive this year. The worst thing is to see someone die young. In desperation, I agreed to his request and found the girl he had been dreaming about since childhood. I begged her to marry him."
"I didn't expect that the arrival of this girl would actually make Mu Ci's health get better day by day. Although he's still unable to walk, I'm already satisfied that he's reached this point! They are a match made in heaven! They couldn't be more perfect together!"
Mu Chen's words made the reporters look at each other in bewilderment.
Someone asked, "Mr. Mu, there's been rumors out there that Madam Mu was sent to the Mu family by the Zhou family to curry favor with them, or that she's a daughter adopted from the countryside. Some say she's their biological daughter, while others say she was adopted to appease the Mu family. I've never heard of such a connection."
Mu Chen nodded, looking helpless. "So, how many of these secrets about wealthy families are true? They were all made up by those idlers or those with ulterior motives. Mu Ci has known Zhou Shuo since he was eight years old. Even when he was kidnapped, it was Zhou Shuo who fed him and saved his life."
"For so many years, Mu Ci has only had this one girl in his heart. She is a devoted child. That girl is indeed the Zhou family's biological daughter, but she grew up away from home and has learned good medical skills. Mu Ci's illness was cured thanks to her care. That child is extremely sensible and well-behaved. It is a blessing for our Mu Ci to be able to marry her."
"But shouldn't Master Mu Ci and Miss Song Nan be childhood sweethearts?" someone questioned.
Mu Chen smiled and asked, "The term 'childhood sweethearts' doesn't mean two people grew up together, right? If that were the case, wouldn't everyone have many childhood sweethearts? You're all scholars, so you should understand better than a rough man like me, right? Haha."
In one sentence, Mu Chen's attitude is clear.
At this moment, the only thing in Duan Si's mind was the joy that his son Mu En had finally become the head of the Mu family. He didn't listen much to the conversation between the old man and everyone else, and didn't react much.
"Mr. Mu, what do you think about the current triangle relationship?" Someone asked directly to the point.
Mu Chen sighed, "You also saw Mu Ci just leave here. He came to make his position clear to me. With his mother as witness, we reached a consensus. In order to prove his innocence, he took his wife and left the Mu family, set up his own family, and has no connection with the Mu family from now on."
"ah?"
"What?"
"Why?"
"how so?"
For a moment, the reporters in the ward were in chaos.
Old Jiang gestured to everyone in dissatisfaction to silence them.
Everyone looked at Mu Chen in surprise and doubt.
Mu Chen sighed softly, "Mu Ci swore a solemn oath, saying that his relationship with Song Nan was innocent. He is willing to give up everything in the Mu family. This is his personal choice, and I have promised to fulfill his wish. From now on, Mu Ci's actions will no longer represent the Mu family. Everyone has seen my health, so I plan to hand the burden of the Mu family to my second son, Mu En."
“Oh my God!”
"Is this true?"
"Mr. Mu, what about Miss Song Nan? Your trust in your grandson means you're convinced Miss Song Nan is lying?"
Seeing that Mu Chen was so approachable, some people couldn't help but speak sharply, and were glared at by Lao Jiang.
Mu Chen, however, didn't take it seriously. "Song Nan is my eldest daughter-in-law, who has been raising her since she was a child. She's like an adopted daughter. Now that something like this has happened, our Mu family can't just ignore her. She will stay in the house where our family used to live, and my eldest daughter-in-law will take care of her. When she gives birth, we'll do a paternity test between the child and Mu Ci. If it's our child, we'll definitely recognize it. Even if it's not our child, we'll still raise it. It all depends on Song Nan's own decision."
Those who were quick to react couldn't help but take a deep breath and couldn't help but worry about Miss Song Nan.
Grandpa Mu’s attitude is very clear. He will not recognize anything his grandson does not recognize. He only recognizes the daughter-in-law he chooses for his grandson.
But Miss Song was also given proper arrangements. Until there was solid evidence, she would be kept in care. It didn't matter whether she was a member of the Mu family or not, because the Mu family could afford it.
He would rather agree to Mu Ci severing ties with the Mu family than force Mu Ci to accept Song Nan. This shows how satisfied he is with the wife he married for Mu Ci.
It seems that Miss Song Nan’s move was not very good!
"Mr. Mu, I would like to ask you a question. Why did you choose your grandson as your successor instead of your own son?" Someone asked this question tentatively, puzzled.
Mu Chen lowered his eyes and said in a deep voice, "My son lost his eligibility to inherit the family business long before he betrayed the family. He is well aware of this. The Mu family is not short of people who can inherit the family business and make the Mu family flourish."
So does this also apply to Mu Ci today?
Looking at Old Jiang who was standing aside with a serious face, no one dared to ask this question.
Mu Chen understood everyone's confusion and said bluntly, "Mu Ci's situation is different from Mu Guo's. Mu Ci left the Mu family completely for the one he loved. From now on, the rise and fall of the Mu family has nothing to do with him. Mu Guo is still a member of the Mu family, but he no longer has the qualifications to inherit the family business. According to the Mu family's ancestral precepts, the heir should be the eldest grandson of the eldest son. With Mu Ci's departure, this burden naturally falls on the second son, Mu En."
