Chapter 429: Comfort

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation  Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Ye Xin felt extremely aggrieved. Nonetheless, she had to admit that Mu Qing was right. She had chosen this path; no one forced her. She needed to apologize to him, and she needed to accept that Mu Qing had many women and that she was just one of them.

Ye Xin felt saddened again. Since she was young, she had never been wronged or humiliated to such an extent.

…

Liang Zhou happily informed Mu Qing that Jiang Jin had invited her over to Cloudy Peak to help Jiang Jin entertain guests.

Mu Qing was surprised and asked Liang Zhou what was happening.

Liang Zhou chuckled over the phone before she said, “I don’t know either. Sister Yu called me and told me that the Old Madam plans to invite a few guests over and that the Old Madam wants me to help her entertain the guests. Mu Qing, do you think the Old Madam has finally accepted me? For such an important matter, the Old Madam didn’t ask for the Young Madam’s help. Instead, the Old Madam asked for my help. I’m so happy. I wonder if it’s because Buddha has heard my prayers.”

After forcing himself to calm down, Mu Qing said, “You have to be more alert when helping my mother out. The Young Madam is young and inexperienced so you have to help her as well. It must also be my mother’s intention for you to help the Young Madam.”

Liang Zhou said with a hint of indignance, “Hubby, you always put me down and elevate others. You’re saying the Old Madam’s intention is for me to help the Young Madam? You’re wrong! Sister Yu said the guests this time are mostly the Old Madams from other families. She said there’s no need for the Young Madam to be present.”

Mu Qing felt a bone-chilling permeate his heart at this moment. He thought that Ye Xin must have exposed herself and that his mother had seen through Ye Xin. What went wrong? Ye Xin was an idiot so she probably did not even know anything.

…

At the same time, Ye Xin sat across from Ning Zhe.

Ning Zhe smiled and pointed at the dishes on the table as he said, “I don’t know if your taste has changed over the years, but these dishes used to be your favorite when you were young. Hurry up and try them. Do you still like them?”

Ye Xin absentmindedly picked at the food, but she did not eat them.

It was only then that Ning Zhe discovered Ye Xin seemed to be in a terrible mood. After taking a closer look, he realized that her face and her eyes seemed slightly swollen.

“Ning Xia, what happened? Did you quarrel with Mu Chen? Did he hit you? Hmm? Tell Daddy. Daddy will definitely seek justice for you!”

Upon hearing these words, Ye Xin raised her hand to her face and began to cry.

Ning Zhe was shocked and hurriedly rose to his feet to hug her.

Ye Xin cried in Ning Zhe’s arms. No one cared about her like this before, and no one had said such words to her. She did not expect that Ning Zhe would protect her. However, was he really protecting her? No, he was protecting Song Ning. With this thought, she grew even sadder.

Ning Zhe took a seat next to Ye Xin before he gently asked, “Tell Daddy what happened. Did Mu Chen bully you?”

Ye Xin shook her head slightly.

“Then, are you short of money?” Ning Zhe asked probingly.

Ye Xin paused for a moment.

Upon seeing this, Ning Zhe immediately said, “Silly child, if you’re short of money, then you should say something. Problems that can be solved with money aren’t problems at all. Tell me, what do you want to do? How much money do you need? Daddy will give it to you.”

Warmth suffused Ye Xin’s heart as she softly said, “Thank you, Daddy!”

Ning Zhe reached out and stroked Ye Xin’s hair. “How’s Zhuang Ji? Do you need Daddy’s help?”

Ye Xin hesitated for a moment before she shook her head. However, she said, “Zhuang Ji hasn’t been making a profit. It’s losing money.”

“So you don’t have any money because you invested all your money into Zhuang Ji?” Ning Zhe asked gently.

Ye Xin nodded with a pitiful expression on her face.

Upon seeing this, Ning Zhe felt distressed. He said, “Xiaxia, listen to Daddy. Don’t be too hard on yourself. Business isn’t something that can be built in a day or two. In any case, if you really can’t handle it, Daddy is here to help you.. With that, you’d even be able to show off in front of your in-laws. What do you think?”
