A-List Actress: Paper Marriage but Pampering Billionaire

Chapter 739: Chapter 739: The Zhuang Family’s Child!

Mu Yan is a child of the Zhuang Family?

Yin Manqing and the others looked at her with disbelief, realizing she’s not a Cinderella, but a princess who has fallen into the human world?

Mu Yan felt a little uneasy; she didn’t want to be labeled with the Zhuang Family’s name.

But as they were all elders here and in someone else’s house, she couldn’t cause a scene.

She suppressed the displeasure in her heart, kept her head down, and pretended not to hear.

Jiang Zhenghong exchanged a glance with his wife, both somewhat surprised.

So it turns out their previous disdain for Mu Yan was misplaced; a daughter of the Imperial Capital Zhuang Family, and a legitimate one at that, was somewhat above Jing Heng’s reach in terms of social standing.

”Kids these days have too strong a mind of their own, they don’t like discussing things with adults,” Yin Manqing said with an apologetic smile.

She felt relieved in her heart, yet also blamed Jiang Jingheng a bit. If he had told her about Mu Yan’s identity earlier, would she have been so worried?

Thinking about the things she had said to Mu Yan earlier, she felt a bit anxious. Will this girl hold a grudge against her?

She glanced at Mu Yan, who sat opposite her, and seeing her looking down obediently, she felt more at ease.

After all, she was her mother-in-law. What was wrong with saying a few words to her? They had kept it from her.

”Indeed, they have some strong ideas,” Zhuang Zeyang chuckled, ”I haven’t dared to tell the old man and old lady at home about this, fearing they might worry unnecessarily.”

Yin Manqing felt a pang in her heart. From the sound of it, the Zhuang Family wasn’t happy with the marriage?

”When that kid comes back, I’ll make him go to the Zhuang Family and apologize,” Jiang Zhenghong said with an exasperated look, ”If our old man knew about this earlier, he almost beat him up; it’s really unacceptable.”

”Indeed, it’s unacceptable to upset the elders. However, our Nuannuan is also at fault; in matters of marriage, parents should have a say. How can it be so casual?” Zhuang Zeyang said calmly.

Upon hearing this, Yin Manqing’s face changed completely—it was true, they were dissatisfied.

Zhuang Zeyang stood up and said to Mr. Zhuang, ”I have some matters to attend to shortly, so I must leave first. I’ll visit you again next time when I have the chance.”

Old Sir Jiang nodded, ”I know you’re busy, so I won’t keep you. Please convey my regards to your father.”

”Certainly,” Zhuang Zeyang nodded, turning his head to Mu Yan, ”Nuannuan, come with me.”

”Let Mu Yan stay for lunch here,” Yin Manqing suddenly suggested.

Zhuang Zeyang said nothing and looked at Mu Yan.

Mu Yan stood up and said, ”No need to trouble, I also have things to attend to shortly.”

Yin Manqing was a bit stuck and smiled apologetically, ”Next time, then.”

Zhuang Zeyang said to Mu Yan, ”The Jiang Family and the Zhuang Family are family friends; these are all your elders. Aren’t you going to say goodbye to your grandfather, uncle, and aunt?”

Mu Yan looked at everyone in the living room and said, ”Grandfather, uncle, aunt, I will take my leave now.”

Jiang Zhenghong said to Zhuang Zeyang, ”Then I won’t keep you.”

Zhuang Zeyang nodded and turned to leave, followed closely by Mu Yan.

Jiang Zhenghong escorted Zhuang Zeyang and Mu Yan to the car before returning inside.

He hadn’t walked a few steps when he saw Jiang Jingheng’s car return.

Jiang Jingheng got out of the car and asked his father, ”Where’s Mu Yan?”

Jiang Zhenghong, now filled with anger, looked at his son and said irritatedly, ”How dare you ask?”

Jiang Jingheng ignored him and walked past him towards the main entrance.

From behind, Jiang Zhenghong’s voice came, ”She’s already gone.”

Jiang Jingheng paused, turned his head, and looked at him.

Jiang Zhenghong said angrily, ”Her uncle just came and took her away; she’s a daughter of the Zhuang Family, how dare you keep it from us!”
