Chapter 162 is about my feelings for her.
In the end, Jing Muchi managed to secure a six-month probationary period from Sang Ning.
The moment she nodded in agreement, Jing Muchi felt even more excited and joyful than when he proposed to her and she said yes.
His medical report came back, and he recovered well after his fever subsided. The doctor prescribed medication, and they were discharged from the hospital.
Jing Muchi first took Sang Ning home, and then went out alone to a hotel.
As soon as he entered the room, he saw Jing's mother, whose eyes were red from crying.
"You still remember you have a mother?"
Whenever Jing's mother thought of how Jing Muchi protected Sang Ning and how fierce he was to her in the hospital, she felt sad, and tears welled up in her eyes again.
Seeing her like this, Jing Muchi sighed, walked over, grabbed a tissue from the table, handed it to her, and then sat down.
Jing's mother snorted before taking it, silently wiping away her tears.
Jing Muchi sat at the other end of the sofa, waiting for her to calm down before speaking.
"Mom, I admit I was a bit harsh with you just now. I apologize."
Jing's mother paused, and before her joy could even show, she heard him say seriously, "But you hit Ningning and said those insulting things to her, that was wrong of you."
Jing's mother's expression instantly turned from sunny to stormy. "I hit her and scolded her because she made you sick, wasn't it?"
She said sadly, "I was standing up for you, and you, instead of protecting her, turned around and blamed me."
"My illness is my own fault, what does it have to do with her?"
Jing Muchi had always thought his mother was a kind, reasonable, and cultured lady from a prestigious family, but he never expected her to be so unreasonable.
Recalling the insults he overheard outside the ward directed at Sang Ning, Jing Muchi's expression darkened further.
"Did you often say those hurtful things to Ningning before?"
Meeting her son's disappointed gaze, Jing's mother felt a little guilty, but the next second she said angrily, "Did Sang Ning say something bad about me to you? You just believe her?"
"Even when she was wronged, she never said a bad word about you to my face."
Jing Muchi frowned. "Mom, why are you doing this?"
"What's wrong with me saying anything to her? I'm her mother-in-law, can't I say a few words to her?" Jing's mother acted superior and entitled.
"Besides, am I wrong? She's just not good enough for you. It's her good fortune to become the Jing family's daughter-in-law. She's marrying up to our family, and she still feels wronged?"
"mom."
Looking at his unreasonable mother, Jing Muchi said, word by word, "It was I who liked her, and it was I who took the initiative to propose to her. It was never her who was marrying above her station."
Jing Muchi's expression grew increasingly serious. "I am your son. If you have any complaints, you can come to me. But Ningning, she doesn't eat our Jing family's rice or spend our Jing family's money to grow up. She just married me. She has no obligation to put up with your temper, and you have no right to make her put up with your temper."
He looked at Jing's mother's increasingly pale face, took a deep breath, and then continued to speak.
"Don't even think about having any other ideas. Let me make it clear to you, I only want Sang Ning for the rest of my life."
He knew why his mother had come to Jiangcheng at this time; she was just worried that he wouldn't go to get the divorce certificate next week.
Jing's mother was furious. "Don't forget, you two are getting your divorce certificate next week."
"I withdrew my divorce application a long time ago."
"What, what did you say?"
Jing's mother suddenly stood up and looked at him in astonishment. "You withdrew your divorce application?"
"right."
Jing Muchi's expression softened, his eyes filled with guilt and self-reproach. "I was a bad husband before, but thankfully, Ningning is willing to give me another chance."
After he finished speaking, he looked up at Jing's mother and said, "So Mom, please don't hold me back anymore."
While Jing's mother was still in a daze, Jing Muchi had already stood up. "I'll have someone send you back to Beijing tomorrow."
Jing's mother looked resistant and was about to say something when she heard Jing Muchi say again:
"Also, I will be living in Jiangcheng from now on. I will go back to see you and Dad when I have time, but whether Ningning goes or not is up to her. You have no right to shirk responsibility. Even if Ningning comes back with me in the future, we will no longer live in the old house."
Hearing this, Jing's mother felt as if she had been struck by lightning.
She had been eagerly anticipating her son's return from abroad, but instead of staying in Beijing, he... wanted to live in Jiangcheng?
He even said he wouldn't stay at home again after returning to Beijing?
"You've already returned to China, why didn't you stay in Beijing?" Jing's mother asked anxiously, her eyes reddening.
"I know, I know you're angry that I'm not good to Sang Ning, right? Here's what we'll do: you let her come back, and you two can move back to the Jing family together. Mom won't make things difficult for her anymore, okay? As long as you come back, that's all that matters."
Seeing her like this, Jing Muchi felt quite helpless.
“Ningning’s job is here, so it’s inconvenient for her to be transferred.”
Besides, she doesn't like living at the Jing family's house, so he won't ask her to go back in the future.
"Work? What kind of lousy job does she have that you need to accommodate..."
Jing's mother blurted out, but then realized that Jing Muchi's expression was off, so she immediately stopped talking, took his hand, and sobbed, "Son, you've only just returned to the country, how can you abandon your mother already?"
"What are you saying? I told you I would make time to come back to Beijing to see you and my dad."
Jing Muchi felt that his mother's emotions were even more outrageous than when he cried and begged him not to leave when he went abroad.
Besides, he's married now.
"Didn't your eldest and second brothers move out after they got married? You weren't like this when they moved out."
"They're just like you. You know Mom loves you the most..."
He was the youngest in his family and had always been his mother's favorite child, a fact Jing Muchi knew, but—
He took a deep breath and said, "Mom, I've grown up. I'm no longer a child who needs my mother's company and love."
He patiently advised, "They say that children and grandchildren have their own blessings. My dad will be retiring in a few years. You should focus your attention on my dad and plan your retirement life together."
He helped Jing's mother sit down. "It's late. You should get some rest. I'll have Xu Hui take you home tomorrow morning."
