Chapter 1435: Chapter 1435: Undermining

Old Sir Jiang learned that Mu Yan’s godmother had arrived, and she was a descendant of the Kong Family, so he personally came down.

Kong Lizhen was respectful to Old Sir Jiang, full of pleasantries.

It didn’t take long for dinner to be ready, but unfortunately, Jiang Jingheng hadn’t returned yet.

Old Sir Jiang’s face looked somewhat unpleasant as he asked the butler, "What’s going on?"

The butler glanced at Mu Yan and said with a smile, "The company has been very busy lately, the young master is working overtime."

"No matter how busy the company is, he should come home." Old Sir Jiang said displeased.

He looked at Mu Yan and asked, "Is he always like this at home?"

Mu Yan quickly replied, "Certainly not, but indeed, the company has been very busy recently."

"I think he just doesn’t want to see a certain person." Qiu Shuyun said sarcastically.

Mu Yan looked at her and said apologetically, "The matter with Second Cousin has caused Second Aunt to have misunderstandings about Jing Heng, but no matter what, please believe that Jing Heng definitely didn’t scheme against Second Cousin as the news says. He’s not coming back because he doesn’t want to clash with you, after all, you are an elder."

Qiu Shuyun glared at Mu Yan angrily, "What nonsense are you talking!"

Clearly, it was her argument with Jiang Jingheng that made him not come home, how could she turn this around onto her, is there such a way to distort the truth?

"Enough!" Old Sir Jiang said displeased, "Since he’s working overtime, let’s not wait for him, let’s eat."

Mu Yan lowered her head, picked up her chopsticks, maintaining a proper smile on her face, but what she was thinking inside, no one knew.

Qiu Shuyun was angry but dared not speak, feeling suffocated.

The meal was soon finished, and Old Sir Jiang took the initiative to invite Kong Lizhen to stay, but she refused.

Old Sir Jiang didn’t insist, telling Jiang Zhenghong and Qiu Shuyun to entertain the guest, he went upstairs himself.

Qiu Shuyun found everything about Kong Lizhen displeasing, and as soon as Old Sir Jiang left, she also went upstairs.

As a man, Jiang Zhenghong didn’t have much in common to talk about with Kong Lizhen, but he did find her somewhat familiar.

He said to Mu Yan, "I share your grandfather’s viewpoint; if Jing Heng dares to wrong you, just come to me, I’ll teach him a lesson. However, it’s not that Dad is biased towards his own child, I know him well, he’s not someone who acts recklessly."

This was the first time Mu Yan heard Jiang Zhenghong speaking up for Jiang Jingheng, even though it felt a bit strange, she still gladly accepted it.

"Don’t worry, Dad, Jing Heng and I are doing well."

Kong Lizhen didn’t feel the same way inside, but she didn’t want to undermine her daughter.

Taking advantage of this gap, she went to the bathroom.

Jiang Zhenghong also went upstairs, while Jiang Wenhui walked over at this moment.

She looked at Mu Yan with concern, "Nuannuan, are you and Jing Heng okay?"

"We’re fine." Mu Yan smiled at her.

Jiang Wenhui frowned and said, "Don’t kid me, I know your temperament, even if you are aggrieved, you swallow it down. Though I am Jing Heng’s sister, in this matter, I am not on his side."

Mu Yan’s lips twitched, but she said nothing.

Seeing Mu Yan’s low spirits, Jiang Wenhui sighed and said, "Though he is wrong, I still hope you don’t divorce. Look at me, after the divorce, I suffered much criticism, even though I now hold a significant position in the group, many people gossip behind my back, calling me the a cast-off from the Gao Family. But the more they talk, the more I want to prove to those people that after leaving the Gao Family, I will live even better."

Mu Yan looked up and saw the light seeming to flicker in her eyes, her entire being seemed to be bathed in golden glory, and her heart stirred slightly. She said, "Big Sister acts decisively, and is full of aspiration; I can hardly compare."
