Sir, How About A Marriage?

Chapter 284: The Waiting Game

Cheng Che looked as though he had nothing left to live for as he said, “Sister-in-law, you should control him. His IQ seems to have fallen quite a bit.”

Song Ning stroked her belly, comforting the baby. She smiled and said, “Don’t bother with him. He’s possessed.”

Mu Chen’s expression was one of excitement as he gently placed his hand on Song Ning’s belly again.

Cheng Che sighed. “Other fathers would tell stories or play music for their babies in the belly, but you, on the other hand, are already teaching your son all sorts of nonsense…”

Mu Chen corrected Cheng Che immediately. “Daughter!”

Cheng Che raised his hands in surrender. “Fine, fine, fine, daughter! Brother, can you be serious?”

Mu Chen replied, “I am serious.”

Song Ning patted Mu Chen. “Alright, stop fooling around. Hurry up and tell me what you’re waiting for…”

The baby was probably exhausted since it had stopped kicking and responding to Mu Chen.

Mu Chen finally withdrew his hand and said, “Feng Man is a nurse. It’s impossible she was unaware of her own conditions. She was about to give birth so why did she still go to the beach that day? It’s obvious that she had a motive, and she also had no choice. That beach is private. With Feng Man’s identity, even if Fu Le brought her, she wouldn’t be able to enter easily. So, who let her in?”

Song Ning understood the implication behind Mu Chen’s words. “It’s Fu Ting.”

Song Ning turned to Cheng Che and explained, “Before the incident, Fu Ting was talking about Zhuang Ji. She felt that since Zhuang Ji was founded by my mother and Fu Le’s mother, I shouldn’t monopolize Zhuang Ji even if Fu Le and I didn’t get married. She thinks half of Zhuang Ji rightfully belongs to Fu Le. Since Fu Le is now working with her, she’s stepping in to help Fu Le get his shares.”

Cheng Che was stunned. He said sarcastically, “Can she be any more shameless? She should’ve just said Zhuang Ji belongs to Fu Le and the Fu family alone! She’s just the Vice Mayor’s daughter; does she think she owns the world? Is she mentally ill?”

Mu Chen and Song Ning watched as Cheng Che ranted. They thought he looked rather cute and that he and Jiahui were a perfect match.

Cheng Che looked at Mu Chen and said, “Then, there’s no doubt Feng Man had acted under Fu Ting’s instructions. Brother, what are you waiting for? Sue her! We should sue her for slander and defamation! It’s easy to verify if she’s carrying your child or not. We’ll definitely win the lawsuit! Let’s apply for a paternity test immediately!”

Mu Chen said calmly, “People will believe what they want to believe. Even with a paternity test, people will still talk…”

“What do you mean?”

Cheng Che and Song Ning looked at Mu Chen in confusion.

“Rumors are a terrible thing, and people like gossiping the most. Moreover, the more I explain, the more people will doubt my words. Therefore, we might as well wait and see…” Mu Chen said.

“Wait and see? Wait for what?” Song Ning did not understand. At this point, if they did not speak up, what changes could there be?

Cheng Che frowned as he fell deep into his thoughts. When realization dawned on him, he asked, “Brother, are you waiting for Feng Man and Fu Ting to fall out?”

Mu Chen smiled and nodded.

Song Ning was puzzled. “Why would they fall out?”

Mu Chen looked at Cheng Che.

With a proud expression on his face, Cheng Che asked, “Sister-in-law, think about it. What’s Feng Man’s biggest wish?”

After thinking about it briefly, Song Ning replied, “She had said the Fu family won’t let her marry into the family. Hence, her biggest wish should be to marry into the Fu family…”

Cheng Che explained, “That’s right. That’s probably why Feng Man has to listen to Fu Ting. However, Fu Ting definitely won’t let Feng Man marry into the family as well. Now that Feng Man’s child has been born, she’s likely most afraid that Fu Ting will go back on her words. If Fu Ting wants Feng Man to continue pestering you, Feng Man will definitely make demands. If Fu Ting doesn’t agree to it, Feng Man will refuse to pester you. With all this back and forth, Brother, you’re waiting for their alliance to break, right?”

Mu Chen nodded with a faint smile on his face.

Song Ning was still slightly worried. “But we can’t be sure Fu Ting won’t agree to Feng Man’s demands…”

Mu Chen calmly replied, “No. In Fu Ting’s eyes, Feng Man is nothing. She has no regard for Feng Man at all. Even if she agrees, it’s nothing but empty promises…”
