Chapter 486: Seeking Approval

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

‘Mu Qing really did not expect Liang Zhou to be able to gain the approval of the family without his help. Now, he was the one who was unwelcomed.

‘Mu Qing strode forward with a smile on his face as he asked, “Why is everyone so happy?”

Everyone’s smiles froze immediately, making Mu Qing feel extremely uncomfortable.

Finally, Jiang Jin said with a smile, “The baby is now the focus of the family. The happiness of the day is naturally brought by him.”

‘Mu Qing smiled and extended his hands to Liang Zhou, clearly showing his intention to hold the baby. However, Liang Zhou acted as though she did not understand his intention. Instead, she handed the baby to A Nuan who was standing at the side. Then, she smiled as though nothing happened and said,

“The baby is changing every day. This is the most fun time.”

After A Nuan held the baby in her arms, she retreated to the side.

‘Mu Qing’s smile turned frosty as he looked at Liang Zhou with dissatisfaction.

Liang Zhou pretended to be obtuse and said with a smile, “All the Madams you invited over for the banquet are so envious of your grandson and granddaughter-in-law’s filial piety...”

Jiang Jin nodded. “I’m old now. It’s time for me to enjoy being cared for by my grandson.”

Meanwhile, Mu Qing quickly stepped forward to help make tea.

Upon seeing this, Jiang Jin said, “You can leave these things to Liang Zhou. Her skills aren’t inferior to yours.”

‘Mu Qing, and even Liang Zhou, were stunned.

‘When Liang Zhou regained her senses, she hurriedly stepped forward to brew a pot of tea. She said lightly, “To be able to gain the Old Madam’s approval, I must have done something right in my past life.”

Jiang Jin did not look at her son. Instead, she looked at Liang Zhou as she said with a sigh, “Don’t blame me for being ruthless. People are selfish, after all. I chose my grandson so it’s only natural that I have to consider him. Life is so difficult. One has to constantly make difficult choices. It’s difficult to

have things both ways.”

‘When Liang Zhou’s tears fell on the back of her hands, she quickly wiped them away before continuing to prepare the tea. Her head was lowered as she said, “Old Madam is right. I have to thank you and Young Master for helping me. As for... As for other things, I should bear them myself.”

Jiang Jin looked at Liang Zhou. Liang Zhou had lost a lot of weight recently. She could only imagine the bitterness in Liang Zhou’s heart. Alas, this was Liang Zhou’s choice and Mu Qing’s fault. After a brief silence, she finally said, “A Yu, before Liang Zhou leaves, remember to give her the bird’s nest that

Cheng Che brought back. She has to nourish her body.”

Liang Zhou’s tears fell like rain again.

‘Mu Qing was slightly confused by the conversation that held deep implications. In the end, he cleared his throat and said with feigned reproach, “Mom is so good to you; why aren’t you thanking her?”

Liang Zhou forced herself to control her emotions as she picked up a teacup and presented it respectfully to Jiang Jin.

‘Mu Qing was perplexed and frustrated as he looked at Liang Zhou and Jiang Jin. ‘Is she crazy? Does she think my mother will accept this gesture?

Contrary to Mu Qing’s expectations, Jiang Jin reached out and took the teacup. After taking a sip, she nodded.

Liang Zhou smiled as tears brimmed in her eyes. “Thank you, Old Madam. Since I don’t have anything else to do, I’ll take my leave first.”

Jiang Jin said casually, “Alright. When you’re free, you can come over. The baby likes you very much. His father is as busy as always, and Song Ning is returning to the hospital as well. With you around, our burdens will be lightened.”

Liang Zhou said respectfully, “I’l definitely come to visit the baby.”

‘Mu Qing was very surprised. He really wondered if the woman in front of him was really Liang Zhou. He wondered if someone had done the same thing as him and replaced Liang Zhou with another person.

While Liang Zhou prepared to leave, Mu Qing was sitting on the couch in a daze.

Upon seeing this, Jiang Jin asked, “Aren’t you going to send Liang Zhou back?”

Only then did Mu Qing regain his senses. He said, “Mom, we’ll take our leave first then.”

Then, Mu Qing reached out to place his hand around Liang Zhou’s shoulders.

Liang Zhou stiffened briefly, but in the end, she did not struggle. When she reached the entrance, she turned back to look at everyone with a smile. However, her eyes were filled with longing and reluctance. She had to remind herself that she should not be too greedy for this warmth and happiness. She

knew it was best for her to stay far away from the Mu family. The best gift she could give them was to not cause them any trouble.
