Sir, How About A Marriage?

Chapter 115: Trending News

Jiang Jin said, “I’m telling you all these things today because I have something to ask of you.”

“Tell us what we can do to help.”

“Do you want us to help with buying Zhuang Ji’s shares? It’s not a problem. Although we’re old, it’s not a problem for us to get Zhuang Ji listed.”

“That’s right! We can also bring down the Ning Group’s clothing business. How about that?”

Jiang Jin shook her head slightly and solemnly said, “Save your energy for something else. Although I told all of you about this matter, I don’t plan to interfere in this matter. This is Ningning and Mu Chen’s matter after all; I want them to be able to solve their problems. No matter what their decision is, I’ll support them unconditionally.”

Jiang Jin continued to say, “If Ningning decides to return to the Ning family, I won’t oppose becoming in-laws with the Ning family. If she refuses to acknowledge them, I’ll treat her as an orphan. Our Mu family can be both her family and her in-laws. We’ll be her support for the rest of her life. I’ll treat her like my biological granddaughter!”

Everyone was shocked by Jiang Jin’s words.

Jiang Jin said with a sigh, “After today, I’m afraid all kinds of rumors about Ningning and the Ning family will spread. Earlier, Ning Zhen sent flower baskets under the identity of Ningning’s father. Ningning was left with a scar due to the matter from the past. The moment she sees those from the Ning family, she’ll tremble uncontrollably due to anger. However, Ning Zhe doesn’t care about this at all. He wants to use public opinion to force Ningning to return to the Ning family. He’s really not sparing any efforts to obtain Zhuang Ji.” She paused for a moment before she continued to say, “All of you have met Ningning and acknowledged her capabilities before learning about her background. Now that you’re aware of her background, I hope you’ll be kinder to her. I’m already so old; if I leave first in the future, I hope all of you will be able to take care of her and Mu Chen on account of our friendship.”

How could the old ladies remain unmoved when faced with such emotional words? Perhaps, due to their old age, they were even more susceptible to these kinds of emotional words that hit the softest part of their hearts. These people were from influential and wealthy families and had experienced storms and waves. Even if they had given their power, if they worked together, even a company with strong foundations like the Ning Group could not stand up to them.

“Jiang Jin, you’re doing the right thing by letting the children handle this. We’ll just watch over them from the side. If someone intentionally makes trouble for them, we’ll definitely help them! We’ll show them how powerful old ladies like us can be!”

Jiang Jin smiled inwardly. ‘Ning Zhe, since you’re so ruthless, don’t blame me for being ruthless as well… She’s your biological daughter, but you used such a method to force her hand. Unfortunately, you forgot to take me and Mu Chen into account… You want to use public opinion to force her? I’ll let you have a taste of what it feels like to have the public turn against you!’

…

Zhuang Ji’s opening was a huge success and caused quite a commotion.

Whether it was old or new customers or even the reporters who attended the press conference, all of them were given a small unique gift. The gifts were, naturally, Chinese embroidery that was incredibly exquisite.

For a time, Zhuang Ji’s gifts even made it onto the hot searches.

Similarly, Mu Chen’s declaration of love to his wife topped the hot searches as well. Netizens who believed in love praised the golden couple to the heavens.

On the other hand, the flower baskets that Ning Zhe sent to Zhuang Ji that were supposed to show his fatherly love were barely mentioned.

Ning Zhe was very surprised by this. Apart from the publications that he had bought, no one reported this matter at all. He had thought he would be able to easily incite the public so he did not even pay close attention to the matter. He really did not expect that the public was not interested in the matter at all. After all, just the fact that the Eldest Young Miss of the Ning family had married into the Mu family was huge news. Alas, there was no reaction at all! He wanted to create a splash, but there was not even a ripple to be seen.

He had banked on his daughter coming to the Ning family or the Ning Group’s building to make a scene. At that time, his plan would succeed.

Who would have thought that nothing went according to his plan? He was puzzled; he could not figure out what went wrong. Even if Mu Chen removed the hot searches from the Internet, it should still cause a sensation. Why was there nothing in the news at all above his relationship with his daughter?

It was just as Jiang Jin had expected. Ning Zhe did not account for Mu Chen and Jiang Jin at all. Moreover, Jiang Jin’s friends were highly influential and some of them were in the media industry. These people’s words held great power.

Ning Zhe was truly lacking compared to those experienced old ladies. Before he could even taste success, his plans had imploded.

Apart from his relationship with Song Ning failing to make the news, news of the Madam of the Ning family being a mistress and the Young Master of the Ning family causing the miscarriage of the former Madam spread like a wildfire.

For this reason, the mother and son, who rarely appeared in public, became the target of public criticism.
