A-List Actress: Paper Marriage but Pampering Billionaire-Chapter 784: Slap in the Face!

Mu Yan looked at Jiang Jingheng with a surprised expression. His parents are coming over tomorrow?

How come she didn’t know?!

Mrs. Zhuang was fairly satisfied with Jiang Jingheng’s answer; at least on the surface, he was polite.

However, his status is a bit lacking.

She asked, "What are you doing now?"

Jiang Jingheng answered truthfully, "Currently managing the family’s business and have also invested in some projects privately."

Mrs. Zhuang was genuinely satisfied this time. He’s got brains and ability; at least Yanyan won’t suffer being with him.

"Grandma, are you doing a background check?" Mu Yan smiled.

Mrs. Zhuang gave her a glare, "Grandma is just afraid you’ll suffer."

Mu Yan replied with a smile, "Why would I suffer? He gives me the best of everything first."

Mrs. Zhuang knew her granddaughter was utterly charmed by him, but she couldn’t dampen her spirits and make her unhappy.

However, some things still needed to be clarified.

She looked at Jiang Jingheng and asked, "Have you and Jiaojiao ever been together?"

Jiang Jingheng frowned, "I don’t know where this rumor came from, but I swear on my character, I’ve never met Miss Zhuang alone, though I’ve seen her at the family mansion looking for my cousin."

"Sounds nice, she’d hardly be interested in your cousin." Zhuang Jiaoyang chuckled lightly with sarcasm.

Mu Yan glanced at her, then turned to Mrs. Zhuang and said, "Grandma, Jingheng has a good family background, high education, he’s handsome, and has ability. It’s only natural that many girls would be attracted to him, but it’s not his fault. At worst, I’ll just tell him not to be too polite to those who deliberately approach him next time."

Liang Rong’s expression changed slightly, and she glanced at Mu Yan. She hadn’t expected her to be so sharp-tongued.

Zhuang Jiaoyang frowned, "Who do you think is shameless? That’s your sister, don’t think I can’t tell!"

Mu Yan calmly replied, "Oh."

"You..." Zhuang Jiaoyang fumed.

Liang Rong quickly stepped in to smooth things over, saying, "Jiaoyang, you misunderstood. Jiaojiao doesn’t have feelings for Jingheng. They’re just childhood friends who grew up together and have a bond."

"Madam, please be careful with your words!" Jiang Jingheng frowned, "Although I’m brothers with Zhuang Yi, I’m not childhood friends with your daughter. I’ve only heard Zhuang Yi mention her; we’ve met only a few times. If you put her in a crowd, I’d probably not recognize her."

This direct rebuttal caught Liang Rong off guard. She was about to speak when Jiang Jingheng cut her off.

"Perhaps my words are blunt, but I don’t want Yanyan to have any misunderstandings and be unhappy, and I believe you all would agree?" he said, looking at Mrs. Zhuang.

Initially, Mrs. Zhuang was worried that this person might be two-faced and not trustworthy, but observing his poise, his way of speaking, and his protection of her granddaughter, she really started to like her grandson-in-law.

She glanced at Liang Rong and said, "Don’t speak nonsense. He’s Jiaojiao’s brother-in-law."

"Yes!" Liang Rong responded, lowered her head, and said no more.

The atmosphere was a bit tense, and Zhuang Yi suddenly spoke, "Since we’re on the subject, let’s open up, so there’s no misunderstanding. Every year Jiaojiao asks me to bring gifts for Jingheng, but he’s never accepted them. I’ve always returned those gifts to Jiaojiao."

Liang Rong’s face stiffened a bit; it was truly embarrassing now. Based on Zhuang Yi’s words, her daughter was the one chasing after Jiang Jingheng.

Zhuang Jiaoyang glared at Zhuang Yi, wondering why he would say such things.

Mu Yan’s lips curled, and she found Zhuang Yi increasingly agreeable.
