When Qiao Jin returned home, Mu Zhenming and Qiao Fei were already sitting in the living room.
The Song family had called the Mu family and said that Qiao Jin was in the hospital, so Qiao Fei hadn’t called Qiao Jin.
The Song family even gave her a ride home.
When Qiao Fei saw Qiao Jin return, her expression was a little downcast. “Xiao Jin, tell your mother, did the Song family beat you?”
Qiao Jin was speechless.
She was a little amused. “Feifei, do you think the Song family did this?”
Qiao Fei said, “I think they did it.”
The main reason had to be that the words her daughter had said after waking up were too offensive.
Mu Zhenming frowned as he looked at Qiao Jin. “What did you do when you went to the Song family’s house?”
It was none of Mu Zhenming’s concern, but as long as the matter involved the Song family, Mu Zhenming had a bad feeling.
The Mu family was in a stage of rapid development. It wouldn’t matter as much if she had offended anyone else, but offending the Song family was unwise.
“I went to discuss something with them. There was no incident, nor did I offend the Song family. Feifei, Zhenming, you two can rest assured.”
Qiao Jin waved her hand dismissively. “It’s too late now, so we should all go to bed. If anything happens, you will hear about it tomorrow, but don’t ask me because I don’t want to explain. You all won’t understand it. This is a secret. The Song family doesn’t want you to know either.”
In short, she’d made some sort of shady deal with the Song family.
Qiao Fei and Mu Zhenming didn’t know what to say.
The two of them looked at each other, feeling sure that Qiao Jin was seriously mentally ill.
How could she have a secret with the Song family?
Qiao Jin, a twenty-year-old girl…
Although they wanted to continue to ask questions, Qiao Jin waved her hand. “Don’t ask, I’m tired. I want to go upstairs and rest.”
Qiao Fei and Mu Zhenming said nothing.
As she watched Qiao Jin going upstairs, Qiao Fei felt distressed and laid in Mu Zhenming’s arms. “The child has grown up, and I can’t control her. She doesn’t even tell me her thoughts now, wahhhh–”
Mu Zhenming was silent for a moment, then said, “Maybe she’s going through a rebellious stage. What’s more, Qiao Jin hasn’t been in her right mind recently anyway, so it’s not easy to speculate logically about her thoughts.”
Qiao Fei raised her eyes in surprise and asked with teary eyes, “Can someone go through a rebellious stage at twenty years old?”
Mu Zhenming said, “Even people in their sixties can, let alone a twenty-year-old. My dad is also very rebellious now.”
Qiao Fei didn’t know what to say.

Qiao Jin returned to her room and slept till dawn.
Even though she’d slept late yesterday, Qiao Jin got up on time for breakfast today.
Word about the Song family’s affairs had spread.
After all, so many Song family members were there last night, they couldn’t hide it.
Song Yanqing’s resurrection after the doctor announced his death had also caused quite a stir.
Thinking it was simply the doctor’s misjudgment, some people didn’t believe it.
In addition, in medical history, it wasn’t uncommon for people to come back to life minutes after ‘dying.’ It might just have been cardiac arrest.
Maybe it was because Song Siyin forbade everyone beforehand, but the fact that Qiao Jin had been at the hospital last night did not come out.
Yawning, Qiao Jin came down to eat breakfast. Mu Zhenming looked at her several times with grave eyes. Not only did the Song family not press the issue with her, but Song Siyin had also made a special call to thank her early in the morning. However, he did not make it entirely clear what he was thanking her for.
He didn’t tell Qiao Fei about this, simply saying that the Song family would not trouble Qiao Jin. This news relieved Qiao Fei.
He had been in the business for many years, so he knew that there was obviously more to this issue than what met the eye.
The fact that Song Siyin had called personally proved that Qiao Jin was not who he imagined her to be.
That was enough.
