A-List Actress: Paper Marriage but Pampering Billionaire-Chapter 806: A Leopard Can’t Change Its Spots

Everyone’s gaze fell on Zhuang Chujiao.

She stood there quietly, less flamboyant and more gentle and serene.

Old Mrs. Zhuang knew her feelings for Jiang Jingheng, her brows furrowed slightly, "Is there no car at home? If you want to go somewhere, can’t the driver take you?"

"I just thought it was on the way." Zhuang Chujiao said softly, "Besides, now that I know Brother Jingheng and Nuannuan are married, how could I possibly do something like stealing her husband."

She spoke so directly that it left no room for error.

Seeing her repent, Old Mrs. Zhuang’s displeasure with her faded a bit.

She looked at Jiang Jingheng and said, "Jingheng, go get busy, don’t delay your work, remember to come over for dinner tonight."

"Alright, I’ll head off then." Jiang Jingheng nodded slightly, glanced at Mu Yan, and turned to walk out.

Mu Yan watched his back, then turned to look at Zhuang Chujiao, who was also looking at her with a challenging gaze.

The elders, like Grandma, prefer family harmony. No matter what, Zhuang Chujiao is still her granddaughter.

If Zhuang Chujiao truly repented, they would surely give her a chance.

But a leopard can’t change its spots, and she didn’t believe Zhuang Chujiao would easily give up.

Ruan Xinyu suddenly asked, "Jiaojiao, didn’t you say you had to go out? Why aren’t you leaving yet?"

"I’m going now." Zhuang Chujiao replied, heading upstairs to get her bag.

Since she said it, she had to do it, and perhaps she’d still run into Brother Jingheng outside.

Outside, Jiang Jingheng sat in the car, looking at the Zhuang family gate, his gaze falling on the empty seat beside him, his mind clouded.

Before returning to the Zhuang family, she would never allow him to return to the hotel alone.

In the afternoon, Jiang Jingheng finished his work and returned to the Zhuang family. After dinner, he took Mu Yan back to the hotel.

Mu Yan had just returned to the hotel not long when she heard someone ring the doorbell. She opened the door to see Yin Manqing.

Yin Manqing beamed at her, "Yanyan, you’re back."

Mu Yan got goosebumps from being called "Yanyan" by her.

She nodded slightly, "When did you arrive?"

Yin Manqing’s tone became more tender, "We, Jingheng’s father and I, arrived after seven. We originally wanted to invite you two for dinner, but didn’t expect you to eat at your parents’ place."

Mu Yan understood the purpose of her and Jiang Jingheng’s father’s visit, and said calmly, "Thank you for going out of your way."

"It’s nothing, really." Yin Manqing quickly said, "It was Jingheng who was thoughtless and kept it from us, so we missed out on proper etiquette."

Mu Yan didn’t respond. If she didn’t have the surname Zhuang, she wouldn’t have gone to their house.

After all, before that, this woman tried to buy her off.

But saying things out loud would just make them pointless. 𝚏𝗿𝗲𝐞𝐰𝚎𝕓𝐧𝚘𝘃𝗲𝐥.𝐜𝚘𝕞

"Would you like to come in and sit for a while?" Mu Yan asked.

"No need, I’m going to rest, have to get up early tomorrow." Yin Manqing said.

"Good night." Mu Yan said calmly.

"Good night!" Yin Manqing nodded with a smile and turned to leave.

Mu Yan closed the door and saw Jiang Jingheng coming out of the bathroom.

"Who was that just now?"

"Your mom." Mu Yan answered.

Jiang Jingheng frowned, "What did she come for?"

"I don’t know either, probably to say hello." Mu Yan walked to the sofa and sat down.

"If she bothers you, don’t hold it in." Jiang Jingheng frowned.

Mu Yan chuckled, looking at him with a half-smile, "Do you think she would trouble me now?"
