A-List Actress: Paper Marriage but Pampering Billionaire

Chapter 828: Chapter 828: Signature Work!

On the way back, Jiang Jingheng remained silent, enveloped in a low pressure, and Mu Yan noticed he wasn’t in a good mood, so she tried not to disturb him.

She lowered her head, lost in thought, feeling suffocated by the heavy atmosphere.

Suddenly, her hand was held by someone.

Mu Yan instinctively looked at the man beside her; he was looking ahead, his face cold and detached.

”I’m fine, don’t worry.”

Feeling seen through, Mu Yan directly asked, ”Is Big Brother not marrying Xiangqing because of his health issues?”

”Yes.”

Mu Yan hesitated for a moment and then asked, ”Is Big Brother’s health related to you?”

Suddenly, she felt her hand being squeezed tightly.

She was certain she had guessed right.

However, she didn’t believe he did it intentionally, but there was some guilt in him, otherwise he wouldn’t be so close to Jiang Wenhao alone.

”That accident was instigated by her.”

Mu Yan’s eyes moved slightly as she looked at him; there was no need to ask who ”she” was, it seemed she could guess.

Since ancient times, wealthy families have often had infighting, doing anything possible to rise to power.

Back then, when Yin Manqing wanted to drive her away, wasn’t it also through coercion and bribery?

But after all, that person is Jiang Jingheng’s mother, she didn’t want to think of her so badly.

”Could there be some misunderstanding amid all this?”

”There’s no need to speak for her!” Jiang Jingheng looked at her, his lips slightly curved, ”I know very well what kind of person she is.”

Mu Yan was silent for a moment, although he was smiling, there wasn’t a shred of warmth in his eyes.

She held his hand back, unsure how to comfort him.

Perhaps initially, his relationship with Yin Manqing wasn’t tense, but once it involved a life, it was different, especially since this person is Jiang Jingheng’s respected big brother.

Wouldn’t he have felt guilty at times, ashamed of his identity, of his mother’s intrusion into someone else’s family, feeling he had let Big Brother down?

Not everyone is born with a heart of stone; after getting hurt time and again, one has to close off their heart to prevent further wounds.

Suddenly, a low chuckle sounded in her ear, ”Feeling sorry for me?”

Mu Yan saw the tenderness in his eyes and felt a jab of sorrow, a surge of wanting to cry.

Jiang Jingheng said helplessly, ”Don’t cry, I’m driving now. If you cry, I won’t be able to comfort you.”

Mu Yan’s face turned slightly red; who asked him to comfort her?

She turned away, not wanting to look at him.

Jiang Jingheng watched her side profile, his eyes dimming slightly.

Having such a mother is not necessarily a bad thing.

At least his Little Sunflower feels sorry for him.

Mu Yan originally planned to stay at the hospital with Mu Chen the next day, but Jiang Jingheng was in a bad mood.

She could only accompany him during the day and return late at night to live with Jiang Jingheng.

She felt sorry for Mu Chen, taking care of everything personally at the hospital, so much so that Mu Chen worried for her.

Soon it was Saturday, Mu Yan had to go record ”Free Life,” and after the news was released, netizens eagerly anticipated seeing her performance on the show.

This was mainly due to ”Lone Eagle” having exploded at the box office, nearly twenty billion in ticket sales in just seven days, definitely the biggest dark horse of the year.

After all, when it first came out, nobody expected such a good box office performance.

As the only female lead in the film and a regular trending topic, Mu Yan’s popularity soared; her Weibo followers exceeded thirty million and were steadily rising, even the movies and TV shows she previously starred in saw increased view numbers due to ”Lone Eagle” and appeared in the hot broadcast list.

Looking back at Mu Yan’s works since her debut, she has proven her strength step by step and truly gained a representative piece.
