Sir, How About A Marriage?

Chapter 170 - New Year Greetings


Chapter 170: New Year Greetings

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

The Mu family’s ancestral worship ceremony was grand and solemn.

This was the first time Song Ning had witnessed such a scene. She stood next to Jiang Jin and imitated the etiquette. She silently prayed for blessings from Liang Zhen. If Liang Zhen were still here, she would be able to call Liang Zhen mother. Alas, her mother and Liang Zhen could only watch over them from the heavens. She was determined to live a happy life with Mu Chen!

Meanwhile, Liang Zhou was prohibited from entering the ancestral hall to worship the ancestors with everyone.

This was Jiang Jin and Mu Chen’s bottom line. No one could touch it.

It was almost noon when the ceremony ended.

Everyone had a lively lunch before they left.

The annual ceremony was finally over.

Song Ning waited until all the guests had left before she quickly helped Jiang Jin up. “Grandma, you must be exhausted, right? I’ll give you a massage.”

Jiang Jin patted Song Ning’s hand before she said bluntly to Mu Qing who was standing next to her, “You should leave now. Don’t bother feeling resentful. I will forget about what happened today, but you shouldn’t have any thoughts you shouldn’t have. Don’t take the wrong path again…”

Mu Qing acquiesced silently and bade farewell to everyone before he left.

Song Ning only cared about Jiang Jin. Her duty was to look after Jiang Jin’s health while Mu Chen and Cheng Che dealt with the other chores.

The two men had already familiarized themselves with the chores. Moreover, there were helpers helping out as well.

After the two men were done with their chores, they ordered for someone to bring a pot of tea to the living room before they started a game of chess.

At this moment, a servant rushed in and said, “Young Master, the Ning family is here to give their new year’s greetings…”

Mu Chen’s hand that was holding onto a chess piece froze in midair.

‘The Ning family?’

Mu Chen and Cheng Che exchanged a look.

“Is it Mr. Ning Zhe?” Cheng Che asked.

The servant nodded. “Yes. The Madam and Young Master of the Ning family are here as well…”

Mu Che calmly placed the chess piece down and said, “Let them in.”

Cheng Che looked at the unfinished chess game and sighed. “This new year is like a rollercoaster ride!” Then, he asked, “Should I inform sister-in-law about this?”

Mu Chen nodded slightly. “If she doesn’t want to see them, she doesn’t have to. She can just accompany Grandma while I receive the guests.”

“Alright! Don’t move the chess pieces! We’ll return to the game later!” Cheng Che said before hurrying upstairs to look for Song Ning.

Ning Zhe, who brought Su Tong and Ning Dong with him to formally give new year’s greetings to the Old Madam of the Mu family, was surprised when he only saw Mu Chen after entering the house.

Mu Chen greeted Ning Zhe perfunctorily before he asked for tea to be served.

Ning Zhe looked around and casually asked, “Where’s Old Madam Mu?”

Mu Chen did not reply.

At this time, Sister Yu supported Jiang Jin out. “We have guests?”

Ning Zhe’s family of three quickly rose to their feet respectfully.

Jiang Jin smiled and invited them to sit down.

Ning Zhe’s gaze could not help but drift to the direction from where Jiang Jin had emerged. Unfortunately, the person he wanted to see did not appear.

Jiang Jin said bluntly, “Mr. Ning, you’re here to see Song Ning, right?”

Ning Zhe did not deny the words. “To be honest with Old Madam, I do want to see her. The child is stubborn, and the way I treated her previously wasn’t too good, causing a rift to form between us. We came to pay our respect to you and also to ask for a favor from you. I hope you can help me reconcile with my daughter and resolve our misunderstanding.”

Jiang Jin looked at Ning Zhe and said with a kind smile, “Mr. Ning, we’ve lived in Cloudy Peak for so long, but we rarely have any interactions. As a result, we’re not very familiar with each other. Song Ning is now my granddaughter-in-law; I treasure her more than my grandson. Therefore, whatever decisions she makes, I’ll fully support her.”

How could Ning Zhe not understand the implications behind Jiang Jin’s words? He sighed. “It’s all my fault. As a father, I broke her heart. It’s her fortune that she married Mu Chen and became your granddaughter-in-law. With your care, she’ll definitely be happy.”

Then, Ning Zhe glanced at Su Tong, who was sitting next to him, and cleared his throat lightly before he said, “I also came to formally apologize to you. I’m very sorry that Su Tong offended you previously.”

Subsequently, Ning Zhe pulled Su Tong up to her feet.

Su Tong’s smile was a little stiff as she said, “Old Madam, I’m really sorry. Please forgive my rudeness from before.”

Ning Zhe accompanied Su Tong to bow at Jiang Jin.

Jiang Jin hurriedly raised her hand to stop Ning Zhe. “This isn’t necessary. It’s all in the past so there’s no need to bring it up. Please take a seat.”

After taking a seat again, Ning Zhe’s tone turned even more sincere as he said, “How can we not apologize. We should interact more in the future. I don’t dare to beg for my daughter’s forgiveness now. I plan to show my sincerity in hopes that she’ll accept me again. I hope Old Madam will help with this…”

Ning Zhe’s humble attitude was beyond Jiang Jin and Mu Chen’s expectations. Did he decide to change tactics? Since the hard way did not work, did Ning Zhe want to use the soft approach? After all, one would find it difficult to find fault with a person who was friendly.. As expected, Ning Zhe was quite cunning.
