A-List Actress: Paper Marriage but Pampering Billionaire

Chapter 736: Chapter 736: Meet the Parents!

As soon as Mu Yan entered, she saw several people sitting in the living room. Besides Yin Manqing, there was an elderly man sitting centrally in the room with an imposing aura. That must be Jiang Jingheng’s grandfather.

As for the man sitting next to Yin Manqing, he should be her husband. Jiang Jingheng bears some resemblance to him.

The other couple should be Jiang Jingheng’s second uncle and aunt. Jiang Yutai’s appearance combines features of both.

She clenched the bag in her hand and walked in without looking around.

She could feel several eyes on her, scrutinizing her from head to toe.

”Oh, so you’re the wife Jing Heng married without the family’s elder’s approval?” a female voice suddenly chimed in.

Mu Yan glanced over and immediately recognized her as Jiang Jingheng’s second aunt. On a closer look, she seemed somewhat familiar.

”What wife? Have we even acknowledged her?” Yin Manqing said irritably.

At this time, she had to firmly stake her position.

The old man called this woman here today, not for recognizing family ties.

”Then, sister-in-law, why don’t you force Jing Heng to divorce?” Qiu Shuyun covered her mouth and giggled.

Hitting a sore spot, Yin Manqing’s face turned extremely ugly. She shot Mu Yan a fierce look, blaming this woman for seducing her son, causing him to commit such rebellious acts.

Mu Yan walked into the living room and respectfully addressed old Sir Jiang sitting directly opposite, ”Hello, sir. What would you like to instruct me?”

No matter how much the other party disliked her, she couldn’t disrespect an elder.

She could feel a sharp gaze falling on her, sending a chill down her spine, yet she dared not raise her head.

”Silly child, this is your grandfather. Quickly greet him,” Qiu Shuyun said with a smile, ”You and Jing Heng aren’t divorced yet, how can you not greet him, otherwise people would think you weren’t taught manners.”

Mu Yan could easily discern the sarcasm and couldn’t be bothered to respond.

She sincerely addressed old Sir Jiang, ”If you’re asking me to divorce Jiang Jingheng, I’m sorry, I can’t do it.”

Yin Manqing’s expression changed abruptly, and she snapped, ”Where are your manners? Who allowed you to speak to elders like that?”

”Birds of a feather flock together,” Qiu Shuyun’s tone was mocking, ”No wonder Jing Heng likes her, the way they talk is the same.”

Mu Yan appeared as if she hadn’t heard anything, meeting Old Sir Jiang’s authoritative and deep gaze.

While she remained calm on the surface, her palms were sweaty, and confronting Old Sir Jiang’s gaze made her feel unsteady, her anxiety deepening.

The living room suddenly fell silent, and the heavy atmosphere made everyone afraid to even breathe too loudly.

Even the instigative Qiu Shuyun dared not say more.

Time ticked by, and after a long while, Old Sir Jiang suddenly asked, ”How old are you this year? Do you have any family?”

Mu Yan’s heart settled at his words, as she responded, ”I’m twenty-three this year, and I have a younger brother.”

Yin Manqing and the others cast a surprised glance at the old man, wondering why he was asking these questions. Could he be planning to accept this granddaughter-in-law?

Yin Manqing slightly frowned, hoping Old Sir Jiang would oppose and order them to divorce. Otherwise, if her son married such a Cinderella, he wouldn’t gain any influence.

Listen to the schadenfreude tone of the second family’s, with a daughter-in-law like this, wouldn’t it be embarrassing?

”Orphaned, you must have suffered a lot as a child,” Qiu Shuyun sighed, ”But you’re lucky to be with Jing Heng, what a blessing.”

Mu Yan kept her eyes down, not responding.

Qiu Shuyun looked at Yin Manqing and said with a smile, ”Sister-in-law, since you don’t have a daughter, you should cherish this daughter-in-law.”

Yin Manqing, provoked by her words, angrily looked at Mu Yan and said, ”Now that you’re here, let’s make things clear. What will it take for you to leave my son? I will never acknowledge you as my daughter-in-law.”

Old Sir Jiang glanced at her, a trace of displeasure in his eyes.

Qiu Shuyun, seeing Yin Manqing causing a scene, was delighted, enjoying the commotion.

Mu Yan remained silent, knowing saying more would be futile.

At that moment, a servant came in and said, ”Sir, the guest has arrived.”
