Chapter 321: Chapter 321: Seeking Qian Cheng
But there’s no medicine for regret in this world. They say you reap what you sow. Old Sir Jiang is now tasting the bitter fruit.
Even though Ming Lan has fallen on hard times, she still has a strong sense of pride. Being pointed at and told to get lost by Old Jiang, how could she possibly stay?
So, she stood up, glared fiercely at Old Jiang, and said, "Just you wait."
Wait for the day when I rise again, wait for the day the Ming Family makes a comeback.
Ming Lan stormed out, and as the wind blew the moment she stepped out of the hotel, she calmed down, but then regret surged in her heart.
She regretted offending Old Jiang because now he was the only one who could help the Ming Family. But, since she had already offended him, there was no point in regretting it now.
At this point, she could only think of other ways.
The saying goes, the one who ties the bell should untie it; this matter started because of Mu Qiancheng. She planned to find Mu Qiancheng and see if she could plead with him to be lenient and let the Ming Family off the hook.
Ming Lan found out where Mu Qiancheng worked and went there directly. Upon arrival, she told the guard she wanted to see Mu Qiancheng.
When the guard asked her who she was to Mu Qiancheng, who knows what Ming Lan was thinking, she claimed to be Mu Qiancheng’s mother-in-law.
Upon hearing that Ming Lan was Mu Qiancheng’s mother-in-law, the guard immediately called to notify Mu Qiancheng. Upon receiving the news, Mu Qiancheng was somewhat puzzled, but he was also worried that it might really be Mrs. Jiang looking for him.
So, he put down his work and hurried out. Upon reaching the main gate, he saw no sign of Mrs. Jiang, so he frowned and turned to ask the guard.
As for Ming Lan, who stood outside the gate, Mu Qiancheng directly ignored her. Having only met Mu Qiancheng twice, Ming Lan did not recognize him well.
Seeing him come out, she also did not step forward to greet him.
"Comrade, I am Mu Qiancheng. You just said my mother-in-law was looking for me; do you know where she is now?"
Hearing Mu Qiancheng’s words, the guard immediately pointed to Ming Lan standing at the entrance and said, "That’s the lady who said she was your mother-in-law."
Only then did Mu Qiancheng turn to scrutinize Ming Lan. At first, he didn’t recognize her because her face was covered up due to a beating by Jiang Mingzhu.
After looking for a while, he finally recognized her, then turned to walk inside, telling the guard, "She’s not my mother-in-law. If this person comes again, you don’t need to entertain her; just drive her away."
Upon hearing Mu Qiancheng’s voice, Ming Lan realized that he was the person she was looking for. So, before Mu Qiancheng could enter, she quickly ran forward, grabbed his sleeve, and said, "Wait a minute!"
Seeing his sleeve being grabbed, Mu Qiancheng’s gaze turned cold. He yanked it out forcefully and said, "Mrs. Jiang, I have nothing to say to you."
"Mu Qiancheng, how can you do this? I admit, it was wrong of me to have you fired in the past. Can you show leniency for the sake of a mother’s concern for her daughter’s safety? I realize my mistake now. I can also assure you that I won’t trouble Jiang Xue or her parents anymore, nor will I find someone to have you fired again. Can you let the Ming Family off?"
"Mrs. Jiang, what do you take me for? Let the Ming Family off? Do I have that power?" Mu Qiancheng sneered, looking at Ming Lan mockingly.
This woman is truly ridiculous, without considering that the Ming Family has already caught the attention of the disciplinary committee, and given that the Ming Family has done so many things against the law, how could it be within his control?
