A-List Actress: Paper Marriage but Pampering Billionaire

Chapter 1324: Chapter 1324: Birth Mother

Early in the morning, Mu Yan received a call from Kong Lizhen. She was heading to the airport and would be back in a few days.

According to her, she was returning to S Province for ancestor worship. Although she invited her, Mu Yan refused.

Even though she called Kong Lizhen her godmother, she wasn’t qualified to go to the Kong Family’s ancestral hall.

Fortunately, Kong Lizhen didn’t insist.

After breakfast, Mu Yan went to the hospital to accompany Mu Chen. Around noon, she suddenly received a call from Jiang Jingheng. Jiang Wenhao suddenly fainted this morning and had been urgently sent to the hospital.

This morning, Jiang Jingheng went on a business trip, and couldn’t come back at this time, so he asked her to visit Jiang Wenhao at the hospital.

If it were any other member of the Jiang Family, Jiang Jingheng wouldn’t be so anxious, except for Jiang Wenhao.

”Don’t worry, I’m heading over now. I’ll keep you updated on any news.”

After hanging up, Mu Yan contacted Liu Xiangqing, got the hospital address from her, and hurried over.

By the time she arrived, Jiang Wenhao had already been brought out of the emergency room and transferred to the intensive care unit.

The Jiang Family, along with the Liu Family and Jiang Wenhao’s maternal relatives, were all gathered outside the ward.

Liu Xiangqing looked somewhat weary, her eyes swollen, clearly from crying.

Mu Yan approached and greeted her father-in-law, Jiang Zhenghong, then asked Liu Xiangqing, ”Sister-in-law, how is Big Brother doing?”

Liu Xiangqing forced a smile upon seeing her, ”It’s okay, the doctor said he’s temporarily out of danger...”

”How can it be okay? My poor nephew is lying half-dead in bed.” A harsh voice rang out, ”It’s all because someone is blinded by greed, marrying a jinx into the family, harming their own son.”

Mu Yan frowned and glanced at the middle-aged woman. She was Mrs. Li, Jiang Wenhao’s aunt. Last time, when Jiang Wenhao felt unwell during the engagement banquet, she caused a scene and slapped Yin Manqing.

Seeing Mu Yan looking at her, Mrs. Li’s face darkened, and she said coldly, ”What are you looking at? I’m talking about your good mother-in-law. Is your whole family hoping for Wenhao’s early death, so you can seize the Jiang Family’s property? Let me tell you, it’s not that easy. Our Xiangqing is pregnant.”

”Alright, sister-in-law, stop talking.” The middle-aged woman next to Mrs. Li looked impatient.

After she spoke, she instinctively glanced at Jiang Zhenghong, but he was busy talking with relatives and didn’t notice.

Mu Yan looked at her in surprise, thinking the woman seemed familiar, but her mind was now occupied with the fact that Liu Xiangqing was pregnant.

She turned to Liu Xiangqing, somewhat surprised and delighted, and asked, ”Really? Sister-in-law?”

Liu Xiangqing forced a smile at her, ”Yes.”

”How many months?” Mu Yan’s gaze fell on Liu Xiangqing’s belly.

Liu Xiangqing reflexively touched her belly and said, ”Almost three months.”

Mu Yan stared at her belly for a moment, ”It doesn’t show yet.”

”Yes, it’s not very obvious yet,” Liu Xiangqing replied, her brow still knitted with worry, clearly concerned about Jiang Wenhao.

Mu Yan knew she wasn’t in the mood to discuss the child, so she stopped the conversation.

Mrs. Li tugged at the woman beside her, her face full of resentment, ”What are you afraid of? Your son has been harmed by a whore and is now lying in a hospital bed. Are you going to keep swallowing your grievances as a mother? If only you’d fought more, your husband wouldn’t have been coaxed away by a whore back then.”

Hearing this, Mu Yan’s gaze fell once again on the middle-aged woman beside Mrs. Li. No wonder she seemed familiar; she turned out to be Jiang Wenhao’s biological mother.
