A-List Actress: Paper Marriage but Pampering Billionaire

Chapter 1005: Chapter 1005: It’s Him!

Mu Yan felt a bit awkward looking at her own mom’s bed photos with another man, so she didn’t insist.

”Who is that man? Where is he now?”

”You know him.”

Mu Yan was a bit surprised, ”Hmm?”

Jiang Jingheng took the phone, found a photo, and handed it to her.

Mu Yan glanced at the photo, her expression changed slightly, ”How is it him? That’s impossible.”

Jiang Jingheng replied, ”I’ve had someone check into it. Seventeen years ago, he was mixing around the Beijing area, then got imprisoned for a few years due to an assault case. After he was released, he changed his name and came to Upper City, quickly building his power.”

Mu Yan was still somewhat in disbelief, ”Then why would he pursue my mom, didn’t he recognize her?”

Thinking about it, she felt something wasn’t right, ”But Mom couldn’t possibly not recognize him.”

”This only proves your mom never met him before, and for some reason, she didn’t investigate the person in the photo thoroughly.”

Mu Yan felt he was right; when Zhuang Shaoyang cheated and then slandered her, given Mom’s temperament, the truth no longer mattered.

She closed her eyes, ”I still can’t believe it; I need to ask in person.”

”I’ve already sent someone to find him.”

”Mm.” Mu Yan nodded and handed the phone back to him.

After finishing the serious discussion, Mu Yan suddenly recalled a new post she saw on Weibo yesterday, and asked him, ”Don’t you have something to say to me?”

Jiang Jingheng looked at her puzzled, ”Hmm?”

Seeing him so clueless, Mu Yan smiled, drank some porridge, wondering if she was overthinking, and the diamond wasn’t meant for her?

If not for her, then who would he give an eight hundred million diamond to!

Thinking about it, her mood turned sour.

Unknowingly, her pouting, annoyed expression was completely captured by Jiang Jingheng, but he chose not to react.

Not long after, the nanny car came to pick her up for an event.

This event was to stand for an international brand, not just Mu Yan, several B-list and A-list female celebrities were present, including Xiang Lanqiu.

They had accepted this event long ago, knowing Xiang Lanqiu was also a guest.

Though the online uproar a few days ago was unpleasant, at least it seemed from the outside that they were still very close.

The photographers on site mostly focused on Mu Yan and Xiang Lanqiu, closely watching their interactions.

The event finished around noon, the organizers invited them for lunch, which they declined.

Mu Yan noticed reporters shadowing her and Xiang Lanqiu, so she walked over and invited her for lunch.

Xiang Lanqiu’s first reaction was to refuse.

Mu Yan teased, ”Sister Lanqiu, if you skip this lunch, you’ll regret it.”

Her assistant timely reminded her, ”Sister Lanqiu, it looks like reporters are taking pictures.”

Xiang Lanqiu followed her assistant’s gaze and saw a reporter holding a camera.

She frowned slightly and agreed to Mu Yan’s invitation.

The two chose a window seat, easy to be secretly photographed, to let the reporters debunk the rumors of their discord.

After a few bites, Xiang Lanqiu lost her appetite, and asked, ”What do you want to tell me.”

”Sister Lanqiu, I’m sorry to have kept it from you, I’m married.” Mu Yan whispered.

Xiang Lanqiu’s eyelid twitched, her grip on the chopsticks tightening, she said stiffly, ”Really?”

Mu Yan, seeing her expression knew she misunderstood, deliberately said, ”Sister Lanqiu is really calm, don’t you want to know who?”

”Who is it?” Xiang Lanqiu’s voice was slightly rough; she actually didn’t want to know.

Mu Yan leaned closer, whispered, ”My husband is Brother Song...” seeing Xiang Lanqiu’s devastated look, she smiled, ”his friend.”
