Chapter 159 - A Favor

Song Ning did not say anything because she truly did not know what to say? She did not say comforting words; Liang Zhou did not come for comforting words, and she did not seem to have any injuries in her heart that needed healing. Therefore, she remained silent and waited for Liang Zhou to speak.

Liang Zhou looked around the lounge before she asked, "I heard this studio is yours?"

Song Ning nodded.

Liang Zhou smiled. "Well, it's to be expected. As the daughter-in-law of the Mu family, naturally, they won't mistreat you. Moreover, you have the Old Madam's favor. It was the same for Liang Zhen back then. Although Mu Qing didn't like her, the Old Madam liked her. All the good things were given to her, and she was treated like a daughter by the Old Madam." At the end of the words, a disdainful expression could be seen on her face.

Song Ning replied calmly, "This studio was left to me by my mother; it has nothing to do with the Mu Group. However, I did ask for Mu Chen's help to manage the business; I don't have the talent nor the time to do it myself."

Liang Zhou's expression changed slightly. Then, she smiled and said, "Mu Chen is Mu Qing's only son; he loves his son to the bones. Although Mu Chen hates him, he still treats his son like a treasure and loves him dearly. It was also for this reason that Mu Qing and I don't have a child. As for me… Mu Chen hates me even more. However, I'm still related to him by blood, and I always wish for him to live well. Now that I see both of you are so happy, I feel happy on Liang Zhen's behalf as well…"

Song Ning looked at Liang Zhou wordlessly. What kind of lie was this? She discovered that it was exhausting talking to Liang Zhou because Liang Zhou was someone whose words did not match her feelings. Moreover, the things Liang Zhou said did not make sense to her at all. In the end, she could not help but say, "I heard from Grandma that your lungs are weak and aren't suited to giving birth…"

An awkward expression appeared on Liang Zhou's face immediately before she blurted out, "The Old Madam told you about this as well?"

Song Ning remained silent again.

Liang Zhou sighed. "It's true I can't have children. However, even if I could, I wouldn't. After all, Mu Chen is the only child whom Mu Qing loves…"
