After Mu Chen left, Liang Zhou stepped forward and said warmly, “As it turns out, Young Madam is the Eldest Young Miss of the Ning family.
If Mr.
Ning’s ward weren’t across from ours, I wouldn’t have known this…”

Song Ning did not react to the words, but Jiang Jin’s expression turned stern immediately.
She said angrily, “Don’t be so nosy about other people’s affairs.
Ningning has left the Ning family for many years.
Can’t you find better friends? Su Tong isn’t a good person.”

An embarrassed expression appeared on Liang Zhou’s face immediately; it was as though she did not expect Jiang Jin to say such things about the Ning family.
For a moment, she did not know what to say.

Upon seeing this, Song Ning hurriedly said, “I’m a little tired, Grandma.
I’m going to sleep for a while.
You haven’t visited Mr.
Mu today, right?”

When Jiang Jin heard that Song Ning was tired, she hurriedly lowered the head of the bed and closed the curtains.
Then, she gently said, “Then, we’ll take our leave now.
Rest well.
When you wake up, we’ll bring you delicious food to eat…”

Song Ning nodded obediently.

With that, Liang Zhou did not dare to linger in Song Ning’s room.
She quickly followed Jiang Jin back to Mu Qing’s room.

When they entered the room, Mu Qing was reading a book.
When he saw his mother, a delighted expression appeared on his face.
“Mother, why are you here? Although it’s spring, it’s still slightly cold.
You have to take care of yourself; don’t catch a cold.”

When Jiang Jin saw her son, her expression softened a lot.
She asked him a few questions about his well-being.

Mu Qing said, “Mother, there’s no need for you to visit all the time.
I’m fine.
I’ll take good care of myself while I’m here.”

Jiang Jin was very satisfied.
Then, she said, “Song Ning was involved in a car accident.
She has been hospitalized as well so I came to visit her.”

Mu Qing enquired about Song Ning’s condition.
He sighed in relief when Jiang Jin told him Song Ning was fine.
“Song Ning is a really good child.
It’s Mu Chen’s blessing to have married her.”

Jiang Jin was incredibly pleased by these words.

From the beginning to the end, Liang Zhou was not part of the conversation between the loving mother and the filial son.
She really felt redundant at this moment.
With that, she quietly left the room to look for Su Tong.

Unexpectedly, Su Tong was not in the ward.

…

At this moment, Su Tong was in Song Ning’s private ward.

Song Ning took a pillow and placed it behind her for support.

Su Tong looked at Song Ning with a smile that did not reach her eyes as she said, “I heard you’re injured so I came to visit you.”

Song Ning only looked at Su Tong silently.
She knew Su Tong would continue talking without any prompt.

As expected, Su Tong took a seat on the couch nearby and bluntly asked, “Ning Xia, since there’s no one else here, let’s be honest.
What do you want?”

Song Ning placed a hand on her stomach before she calmly asked, “What do you mean?”

Su Tong frowned.
“I’m asking if you plan to return to the Ning family!”

Song Ning sneered.
“So what if I do, and so what if I don’t?”

Su Tong’s shoulders tensed up.
She grew nervous upon hearing Song Ning’s reply.
However, her greed made her straighten her back and say, “If you want to return to the Ning family, you have to give up the right to inherit the Ning family fortune and declare that everything that belongs to you will go to Ning Dong.
If you do that, I promise to stay out of your way.
If you promise not to return to the Ning family, I’ll compensate you with five million…”

Song Ning raised an eyebrow; five million was not a small sum of money.
She asked, “Where did you get five million dollars?”

Due to Song Ning’s mother’s demand, over the past ten years, Su Tong could not even use the title of Madam Ning when socializing or participating in events.
Although five million dollars was not too exorbitant a sum, it was not a small sum for Su Tong.
Where did Su Tong get five million dollars?

“Don’t worry, it’s my money, and it’s clean,” Su Tong said proudly.

Song Ning said coldly, “I’m not planning to return to the Ning family nor do I want your money.
I hope you can stay away from me.
You can rest assured I won’t return for the rest of my life so stop trying to test me again and again.”

“But you donated blood to your father.
He’s definitely going to be very happy!” Su Tong gave voice to what she was most worried about.

Song Ning said angrily, “I’m a doctor; he’s a patient.
Don’t overthink things.
Even if he’s a vagrant, I’d still save him.
This is my principle as a doctor.”

Song Ning said impatiently, “Leave! He and I are like strangers.
There’s no need for him to act familiar with me or pretend to have a deep affection for me.
I’m no longer a child who’s easily coaxed.
If he regrets his actions now, then he shouldn’t have done what he did in the first place.” Then, she hardened her heart and continued to say, “Since he has a part in giving me life, my blood can be a form of repayment..
There’s no need for our lives to intersect from this point onward.”
