A-List Actress: Paper Marriage but Pampering Billionaire

Chapter 1051: Chapter 1051: Live-in Son-in-law?

Before anyone knew it, it was the end of the year, and starting from the twenty-sixth of the twelfth lunar month, Jiang Jingheng had taken a break.

The next day, Mu Yan and Jiang Jingheng returned to the Jiang Family.

The Jiang Family is a prestigious family, and handling New Year’s goods didn’t require the master’s attention, as the housekeeper and servants took care of it.

However, the housekeeper needed to report to the lady of the house, which ignited tensions throughout the Jiang Family.

After Jiang Zhenghong divorced his first wife, the old madam of the Jiang Family assigned household affairs to the second daughter-in-law, Qiu Shuyun, and even after Yin Manqing moved in later, nothing changed.

So, every year-end, things were tense between Yin Manqing and Qiu Shuyun, just waiting to explode.

This was probably Qiu Shuyun’s most triumphant moment of the year, as she held her head high, like a proud peacock, giving orders to the housekeeper.

Yin Manqing sat in the living room, her eyes seemed ready to spit fire.

Unhappy, she interjected, ”I think there’s too little bird’s nest bought, it’s not enough to gift others.”

”Indeed it’s a bit little, but gifting bird’s nest every year is quite dull. This year, I changed to antler and ginseng for the elders. Besides, how would Sister-in-law know these details when she’s not in charge?”

Qiu Shuyun smiled smugly, clearly pleased with herself.

Yin Manqing wore a sullen expression, feeling triumphant.

She suddenly laughed, ”Actually, I thought Sister-in-law is showing more wrinkles on your face, you should have more supplements, so I wanted to buy more bird’s nest.”

Qiu Shuyun touched the corner of her eyes instinctively and realized she had fallen into a trap, her eyes filled with fury.

That bitch only managed to seduce Jiang Zhenghong by being younger back then, huh!

Sitting nearby, Mu Yan and Jiang Wenhui exchanged a glance, both noticing a touch of awkward smiles in each other’s eyes.

The two found an excuse and left the living room.

Jiang Wenhui caught up with Mu Yan and said helplessly, ”My mom has such a temper, I hope you won’t mind it.”

”It’s alright, after all, neither of them is the type to suffer losses.” Mu Yan smiled slightly.

Jiang Wenhui pursed her lips, lightly laughed, ”Actually, watching them bicker like this all the time is quite amusing.”

Mu Yan smiled but didn’t say a word, it wasn’t appropriate to criticize her mom in front of Jiang Wenhui.

Although Yin Manqing spoke harshly sometimes and wasn’t well-liked, she never intentionally targeted anyone.

While Qiu Shuyun was foul-mouthed, spiteful, and full of bad intentions.

Jiang Wenhui asked, ”Is your brother feeling better lately?”

Mu Yan nodded, ”Thanks for your concern, he’s doing okay.”

Jiang Wenhui sighed, ”We still need to find a suitable heart as soon as possible. I’ve already asked my friends abroad for help. I’ll let you know if there’s any news.”

”Thank you, Sister.” Mu Yan said earnestly.

”No need to be polite, we’re family.” Jiang Wenhui smiled, saw Yin Manqing coming over, and called out, ”Aunt.”

”Mm.” Yin Manqing responded, her tone indifferent.

Jiang Wenhui didn’t mind, patted Mu Yan’s shoulder, and went upstairs.

Yin Manqing watched her go up, walked over to Mu Yan, and said discontentedly, ”There’s not a single good one in the second house, stay sharp, don’t end up counting money for others and not know it.”

Mu Yan knew she was rattled by Qiu Shuyun and in a bad mood, so didn’t respond.

At dinner, when the old master asked about Yu Tai, Mu Yan found out that Jiang Yutai wasn’t home.

To be precise, ever since he went to Beijing to visit Zhuang Chujiao in October, he hadn’t come back home.

She was a bit surprised by how deeply Jiang Yutai felt for Zhuang Chujiao.

But the old master was truly angry, ”It’s almost New Year, and he’s still wandering outside, does he want to become a live-in son-in-law? Fine, then he should never come back.”
