Therefore, Mu Daxiang did not take the matter too seriously, nor did he allow Wu Yan'e to cause trouble, because all suspicions were just empty words before there was concrete evidence to refute them.
But Wu Yan'e was fiercely protective of her son, believing everything Mu Zeyu said and ignoring Mu Daxiang's words. She lost control of her emotions and called the Ji family, hurling insults and vulgarities at them.
"Heh." Old Master Ji sneered, "Chairman Mu's wife said that our Ji family's adopted daughter is not kind, that she doesn't behave like a human being but acts like a beast. I don't have many merits, but my biggest flaw is that I'm protective of my own. Since Chairman Mu's wife said such things about my granddaughter, I definitely had to come here in person and have a good talk with her!"
Mu Daxiang was puzzled. He glanced at Wu Yan'e again, who lowered her head even further and didn't dare to utter a single word in rebuttal to Old Master Ji.
Seeing this, Mu Daxiang understood everything.
Gritting his teeth and suppressing the urge to call her an idiot, he gave an awkward smile when facing Old Master Ji: "Old Master, our two families have known each other for so many years, and our relationship has always been very good. Now, Zeyu and Xiaxia are even engaged... There must be some misunderstanding here, a misunderstanding..."
"Of course there's a misunderstanding," Old Master Ji replied coldly. "This old man is here today to clear things up!"
“My Nannan has done nothing wrong, yet you all keep throwing mud at her, thinking she's pitiful and has no one to protect her! Fine, let me make this clear: as long as I live, none of you will ever bully my granddaughter!”
Grandpa Ji spoke firmly, protecting Ji Zhinan tightly in front of everyone present.
"Chairman Mu's wife said it was my granddaughter who did it. If there are witnesses and physical evidence, I, this old man, will kneel down and kowtow to you to apologize! But if not, please, Chairman Mu's wife, personally pour tea and apologize to my granddaughter, Ji Zhinan!"
Despite his advanced age, the old man spoke with a strong and clear voice.
As long as he lives, he will never allow anyone to bully his precious Nan Nan!
Mu Daxiang felt a chill run down his spine. No matter what, the old man was his elder, and he certainly deserved basic respect.
Mu Zeyu's claim that Ji Zhinan started the fire is only one side of the story. Without any witnesses or physical evidence, Wu Yan'e's words were so harsh and her actions so thoughtless. It is indeed the Mu family's fault...
Mu Daxiang nodded under pressure: "Alright, whatever you say, sir. As long as it is proven that this matter has nothing to do with Ji Zhinan, I will have my wife personally pour tea and apologize to the child."
Upon hearing this, Wu Yan'e's eyes widened, and she raised her voice to retort, "Why...?"
She was stunned by Mu Daxiang's sharp and fierce eyes after saying only one word, and immediately shrank her neck, not daring to say another word.
Wu Yan'e wasn't stupid; she knew Mu Daxiang was angry, furious, but he didn't show it on his face.
It's best not to offend them now.
Grandpa Ji looked at Mu Zeyu lying on the hospital bed, his tone indifferent.
The old man originally had a good impression of Mu Zeyu, and he was also Ji Zhixia's fiancé and his future grandson-in-law.
But now, my impression of him is terrible, and I'm even glad I didn't marry Nan Nan to this kind of person.
"Young Master Mu, you're saying that my granddaughter, Ji Zhinan, kidnapped you and tried to burn you alive, is that right?"
Ji Zhinan also arrived, but he had been standing quietly behind the old man without saying a word.
From the moment Ji Zhinan entered the ward, Mu Zeyu's resentful gaze remained fixed on her, never leaving her for a second.
