Chapter 1509 -1499: Favoritism

Mu Yan had no interest in Zhuang Jiaoyang’s story. Although Hu Zhiyuan’s affair was scummy, Zhuang Jiaoyang herself might not be innocent either.

She stood up and headed towards the dining room.

Only then did Zhuang Jiaoyang notice that Ah Zhen was also here, and her face instantly fell.

She said irritably, “Why is she still here?”

Thinking about how she, as the Zhuang Family’s daughter, was cast out, but an outsider here seemed more like a Zhuang Family member.

Ruan Xinyu smiled, “Jiaoyang, there’s something you might not know.”

“What?”

“Ah Ning is back.”

“What did you say?” Zhuang Jiaoyang’s voice suddenly rose, “Wasn’t she dead? Are we dealing with zombies these days?”

As soon as these words were spoken, the old lady’s face didn’t look very good.

Zhuang Shaoyang directly said, “What nonsense about zombies? Ah Ning was never dead.”

Seeing her brother’s displeased face, coupled with knowing their parents cherished Zhuang Ning, Zhuang Jiaoyang felt upset, but since it was a critical time, she didn’t dare to throw a tantrum.

She forced a smile and said, “Wasn’t I just surprised? You said she wasn’t dead, so where is she now?”

“Far away yet close at hand.”

Zhuang Jiaoyang looked at her suspiciously, her gaze sweeping over the people in the living room until it suddenly landed in the direction of the dining room, suddenly realizing, with an incredulous expression on her face, she pointed at Ah Zhen and asked Ruan Xinyu, “You’re saying she’s Zhuang Ning?”

“Yes, Ah Zhen is indeed Ah Ning.”

“But her face…”

“Ah Ning was disfigured before, and unfortunately had to get plastic surgery,” Ruan Xinyu explained.

Despite this, Zhuang Jiaoyang still found it hard to believe.

She scrutinized Ah Zhen, her expression extremely unfriendly.

She wanted to return to the Zhuang Family, but if Zhuang Ning had also returned, what place did she have in this home?

Recalling those “unfair” treatments during childhood, Zhuang Jiaoyang felt somewhat agitated.

She looked at Ah Zhen and asked, “This face changed too much, is she really Zhuang Ning?”

“Ah Ning was raised by mom herself, no way she’d mistake someone else for her, besides, Shaoyang and Nuannuan wouldn’t mistake her either,” Ruan Xinyu laughed.

“That’s not necessarily true.” Zhuang Jiaoyang sneered, “Some women are skilled actresses nowadays, playing the family card while attempting to seize things, making it hard for people to guard against.”

With a “bang”, Mu Yan slammed her chopsticks on the table.

She looked at Zhuang Jiaoyang, sarcastically saying, “My mom is a descendant of the Kong Family; whether domestically or abroad, her status is remarkable. She doesn’t need to deceive anyone. And moreover, who do you think cares about your opinion?”

“Say that again!” Zhuang Jiaoyang said angrily.

“I said nobody likes you.” Mu Yan said blandly.

“You—”

“You shut up!” the old lady said sharply, “Spout more nonsense and I’ll have you sent out.”

She then spoke to Mu Yan, “Nuannuan, don’t be angry.”

“Mom!” Zhuang Jiaoyang called out unhappily, thinking that the granddaughter was treated like a person while her daughter was not; it seemed so biased.

Mu Yan nearly infuriated everyone to death, “Grandmother, rest assured, I’m not angry, there’s no need.”

She spoke and continued drinking her soup.

The old lady’s expression was somewhat unnatural, suddenly recalling those things Zhuang Jiaoyang had done to harm Ah Ning in the past,

Zhuang Jiaoyang was so angry her face was almost turning green, the key was that no one was speaking for her, and now she couldn’t afford to make enemies of them, so she had to endure not saying anything, still pretending to be pleasing, feeling incomparably aggrieved, but there was no other choice.

She looked at Ah Zhen, smiling, “Ah Ning, it’s truly wonderful that you’re alive.”

“Yes, it is quite good.” Ah Zhen said calmly, “But we do have your dear sister to thank for sparing us.”
