JEALOUSY

When Liang Zhou brought the news back to Mu Qing, his hand that was holding the book tightened,

tearing half the page from the book.

Liang Zhou was slightly taken aback but did not say anything. She turned around and poured Mu Qing

a glass of water.

Mu Qing’s faint voice rang from behind her. “You have to prepare a big gift for Song Ning to show our

concern. She’s pregnant with my grandson after all.”

Liang Zhou turned around and awkwardly said, The old lady has yet to announce this to the public; I

overheard this. I think she’s afraid of mishaps so she’s keeping it under wraps for now. That old lady

really loves her grandson and her granddaughter-in-law a lot; her great-grandchild is naturally

precious.”

Mu Qing nodded and smoothed the torn page as though nothing had happened. “Alright. Then let’s

pretend we’re not privy to it. Send some fresh fruits over. You can chat with them and build a good

relationship as well…”

After passing the glass of water to Mu Qing, Liang Zhou said with a sigh, “If only things were so easy.

They don’t like me very much…”

Mu Qing said plainly, “Regardless, it’s best to continue trying. Relationships aren’t built in a day. The

more you invest your time, the greater the returns. Doesn’t Song Ning have Zhuang Ji? It’s good if you

visit more often and help her attract more businesses…”

Liang Zhou did not say anything else. She knew it was pointless to say anything at this moment

because Mu Qing was feeling uneasy. No matter what she said now, he would have something to say

in return. What she was most concerned about now was to make sure Song Ning’s child was not born.

This thought gnawed at Liang Zhou’s heart like a ferocious beast. Song Ning was too happy, and it

reminded her of her sister, Liang Zhen. Seeing this happiness, she was incredibly jealous. She could

not bear to see those people happy; their happiness made her unhappy.

Liang Zhou could not help but smile when Gao Wen’s ferocious expression flashed in her mind. She

thought to herself, ‘What a good knife!’

Song Ning had just gotten pregnant. Liang Zhou thought she still had almost ten months to act. There

would be many opportunities for her since there were many people who could not bear seeing Song

Ning happy.

…

At this moment, Song Ning, who was being envied and hated, was happily leaning against the

headboard of the bed as Jiahui gently massaged her legs. She held a small plate of walnuts that Mu

Chen had shelled for her.

On the other hand, the only person Cheng Che could see at this moment was the busy Jiahui.

Mu Chen pushed Cheng Che aside and handed him a handful of walnuts because he did not want

Cheng Che staring at Song Ning’s legs. Nevertheless. he knew Cheng Che was just staring at Jiahui’s

hands, and Song Ning’s legs were probably no different from a block of wood in Cheng Che’s eyes.

After Jiahui was done with the massage, she raised her hands and asked, “Your Majesty, do you still

feel uncomfortable?”

Song Ning pointed at her head. “I’m lying down so much that I feel dizzy…”

Before Jiahui could speak, Mu Chen had already reached out and placed his hand on Song Ning’s

forehead. “Do you have a fever?”

Upon seeing this, Jiahui did not know if she should laugh or cry. “What fever? She’s pregnant; it doesn’t content rights.

mean she’s as fragile as a piece of paper. President Mu, she still has seven to eight months left before

giving birth. If you continue to be like this, I’m afraid you’ll go crazy even before the child is born…”

Mu Chen did not mind Jiahui’s words. He said, “It’s better to be careful…”

Cheng Che placed a handful of walnuts into the small plate and said, “Brother, I suggest you keep an

eye on sister-in-law 24 hours a day from now on. Don’t blink!”

Mu Chen rolled his eyes. “What do you know? You don’t even have a girlfriend!”

Cheng Che was rendered speechless by those words. He instinctively glanced at Jiahui from the

corners of his eyes.

At this time, Jiahui was massaging Song Ning’s head.

Cheng Che said dejectedly, “Brother, how can you discriminate against single people?”

Mu Chen retorted, “Then you should work harder to change your single status…”

Cheng Che stopped talking immediately.

Jiahui could no longer stand it. She said, “President Mu, you’re in the wrong. Now that you’re a father-

to-be, you’re mercilessly mocking your brother who’s single.. This isn’t good!”
