A-List Actress: Paper Marriage but Pampering Billionaire-Chapter 821: Meeting the Parents

Qiu Shuyun was also provoked by Mu Yan and Yin Manqing, this daughter-in-law and mother-in-law duo, singing in unison, wanting to retaliate but was caught in her words.

She got along well with Liang Rong, which was strange to some, but who doesn’t have a few friends who are less reputable?

But if she helped Liang Rong strategize to break up other people’s families, that would be a problem with her character.

As one of the mistresses of a top wealthy family, Qiu Shuyun cherished her reputation.

She quickly smiled apologetically, "Nuannuan misunderstood; how could I possibly do such a thing?"

"I also think that Aunt doesn’t seem like the type, but speaking carelessly often can lead others to overthink." Mu Yan said indifferently, "If I can’t help but confront Aunt about it, please forgive me, Aunt."

Qiu Shuyun’s expression turned from blue to white; this little girl indeed had a sharp tongue.

But what surprised her more was that Yin Manqing, who previously slighted her, was now speaking in her defense.

Actually, it’s not that Mu Yan wanted to help Yin Manqing; it’s just that, after entering this family, she was tied together with the main family.

When Qiu Shuyun insulted Yin Manqing, wasn’t she also calling Jiang Jingheng a bastard?

Her man might be a bastard, but she wouldn’t allow others to insult him.

Jiang Zhengfang and Jiang Zhengting both frowned at the same time; this second sister-in-law liked to stir up trouble, which they’ve always been aware of, but being held down by a few words from a younger generation was truly embarrassing.

Moreover, she had a mistress friend. No wonder her character was questionable.

Though the sisters didn’t like Yin Manqing, feeling she wasn’t born well enough to marry into their prestigious family.

But Yin Manqing was good with people, always thinking of them with good things, giving them face as the sisters-in-law.

Unlike the second sister-in-law, who’s stingy, and yet considers herself some kind of noble lady, ha...

"Alright, let’s have dinner." The old man suddenly spoke, his tone impatient.

Mu Yan lowered her eyelids, looking calm and unmoved.

But Qiu Shuyun didn’t look too good, unfortunately, she couldn’t defend herself.

Jiang Jingheng’s attention was always on Mu Yan, his light brown eyes tinged with a faint smile.

Gu Tingchuan and Qiao Qinghe noticed this, exchanged glances, and for once saw a gentle and sunny aura in this cousin’s usual demeanor.

This married man was indeed different; his sharpness had softened, or perhaps hidden.

This made them look up to Mu Yan a bit more, as being able to subdue this cousin, King Yan, she couldn’t be an ordinary woman.

As dinner was about to start, Jiang Jingheng pulled Mu Yan upstairs.

"Why?" Mu Yan asked quietly.

"To call my elder brother and future sister-in-law down for dinner." Jiang Jingheng replied softly.

Mu Yan suddenly remembered he had an older brother, and the brothers seemed quite fond of each other.

Perhaps, in his heart, only his brother among the Jiang Family members was his true family? 𝕗𝐫𝐞𝕖𝕨𝐞𝗯𝚗𝕠𝘃𝐞𝚕.𝐜𝗼𝚖

Because when mentioning his brother, his eyes seemed to light up.

"Alright!"

The two went upstairs, walked through the corridor, and Jiang Jingheng knocked on the innermost room door.

"Come in." A clear male voice sounded.

Jiang Jingheng pushed the door open and went in, looking at the person inside and said, "Dinner is about to start; you can come down."

Mu Yan stood behind Jiang Jingheng but could still see the situation in the room.

A man around thirty sat leaning on the bed, with clear features and a vague resemblance to Jiang Zhenghong. Puzzled, they felt he resembled Jiang Jingheng a bit, though not as refined and elegant, but with more of the calmness accumulated over the years.

However, his face was very pale, lips devoid of color, seeming to have been ill for a long time.

Nearby stood a woman in her twenties, with delicate and gentle features and a warm smile.
