A-List Actress: Paper Marriage but Pampering Billionaire

Chapter 577: Chapter 577: I’m Not Worthy of Him!

Jiang Jingheng has been hiding this from her for so long, she didn’t expect him to take the initiative to tell her about this matter.

But asking him about it, she seemed unsure of where to begin.

She couldn’t possibly say his mom asked her to leave him, that might easily stir up trouble.

Even though she didn’t like his mother-in-law, she wouldn’t cause any rift between mother and son.

So the best approach is to ask someone who understands the Jiang Family situation, Ning Shishen is undoubtedly the best choice.

Ning Shishen saw Mu Yan looking troubled and asked, ”Who came to see you today?”

”Jiang Jingheng’s mom,” Mu Yan replied.

Ning Shishen’s brows slightly moved, ”What did she want with you?”

Mu Yan smiled at him but didn’t speak.

Is she unwilling to tell him? Ning Shishen didn’t press on, and started talking about the Jiang Family situation.

”The old man of the Jiang Family has two sons, two daughters, Jing Heng’s father is the oldest. Currently, the power is in the hands of the first house, but it’s said the old man hasn’t fully relinquished control...”

Even though he didn’t say it explicitly, Mu Yan knew the first and second house of the Jiang Family were at odds, even the two daughters who married outside wanted to come back to get a share.

In this environment, Jiang Jingheng, as an illegitimate child, managing the family business was bound to make enemies.

She bit her lip and suddenly asked, ”Do the Jiang Family treat Jiang Jingheng well?”

”Hmm?” Ning Shishen gave her a surprised look.

Mu Yan’s expression was somewhat unnatural, turning her head to look elsewhere.

She felt this was a question she shouldn’t ask an outsider, as if she was subconsciously belittling him.

But Ning Shishen had already understood her meaning, and said, ”Jing Heng is very strong in his work ability, plus his brother cannot manage matters, currently no one in the Jiang Family can match him.”

”Really?” Mu Yan replied softly, but felt a bit relieved inside.

Ning Shishen fixed his gaze on her for a moment and asked, ”Is Jing Heng’s mom opposed to you being together?”

Is it that obvious? Mu Yan forced a smile.

Since he had guessed, she seemingly had no need to hide it.

”That’s right, his mom asked me to leave him.”

”Why?” Ning Shishen instinctively asked.

Mu Yan looked at him and laughed, ”This question, Brother Ning should know very well; we talked about it last time.”

Ning Shishen saw her looking relaxed and casual, and suddenly felt a pang of sympathy.

This circle places great importance on identity and status, even the most beautiful love has to back down in the face of power and wealth.

He asked in a low voice, ”Did you refuse?”

Mu Yan chuckled, ”Of course, if she asks me to leave him, and I just leave, wouldn’t I be too obedient?”

Ning Shishen’s brows slightly furrowed, if she truly saw it so clearly, she wouldn’t be so troubled.

Mu Yan took a sip of juice, quiet for a moment, and said, ”Actually, I suspected there would come a day like this very early on. I’ve always felt inferior, I’m afraid to face his family, I’m afraid they’ll look down on me, but no matter how I avoid it, I can’t change the outcome, I really don’t deserve him.”

”Nonsense!” Ning Shishen suddenly shouted, ”He doesn’t deserve you, it’s not that you don’t deserve him!”

After he said this, he was stunned, feeling anxious, should he tell her?

Mu Yan looked at Ning Shishen in surprise, seeing his serious demeanor, knowing his character, she smiled and said, ”Even though I know you’re comforting me, I still appreciate it.”

Ning Shishen heard a voice inside saying, it’s not him comforting, what he said is the truth.

As long as she regains her identity and has family protection, status wouldn’t be an issue at all.

However...he suddenly didn’t want to say it.
