A-List Actress: Paper Marriage but Pampering Billionaire

Chapter 1408: Chapter 1408: Only Trust Yourself

Looking at her mother-in-law’s righteous demeanor, Mu Yan felt somewhat flattered.

She finally remembered this morning’s news and quickly said, ”No, no, Jing Heng definitely didn’t cheat.”

”Really?” Yin Manqing was somewhat skeptical, always feeling that a young girl like Mu Yan could easily be bullied by her son.

Mu Yan, ”...”

How did she suddenly get the impression that Jiang Jingheng seemed like a stray?

”Of course it’s true. Others may not know what kind of person Jing Heng is, but surely you do, don’t you?” Mu Yan laughed, ”The stuff online is all nonsense, and besides, he is with me every day except for business trips; he gets off work on time every day.”

Yin Manqing’s expression eased slightly, letting out a light snort, ”I doubt that rascal would dare do anything to hurt you.”

Mu Yan sweated a little, hearing her mother-in-law call Jiang Jingheng a rascal again and again, she couldn’t help but picture Jiang Jingheng as a small white rabbit, and indeed, he was rather cute.

”Since there’s nothing going on between you two, I can rest easy.” Yin Manqing stood up and said.

Mu Yan stood up too, ”You rarely come by, stay and have lunch with us.”

”No, I have other matters to attend to.” Yin Manqing refused, paused, and said, ”I also came for another matter.”

”Oh?”

”I’m going abroad on a business trip in a few days, and then I plan to oversee the overseas branch.”

”Oh.” Mu Yan responded, and as she processed it, her face changed instantly, ”Do you mean you’ll be settling abroad?”

”Yes.” Yin Manqing nodded.

Mu Yan heard this and asked, ”But then we won’t be able to see you.”

”Only you would want to see me.” Yin Manqing laughed.

Mu Yan sensed some bitterness in her words and said, ”Jing Heng also cares about you.”

”Don’t comfort me. I know my son’s personality better than anyone. He’s a stubborn person.” Yin Manqing smiled, ”But that’s okay.”

Mu Yan wanted to comfort her, but at this moment, she realized her words were inadequate.

Only a bell ringer can untie the bell, one sentence from Jiang Jingheng is more effective than a hundred from others.

Yin Manqing looked at Mu Yan and said with a smile, ”You’re a good girl. He’s lucky to have married you.”

”Mom, please don’t say that. I can’t stand your praise.”

”You know I’m not someone who likes to praise others.” Yin Manqing hinted.

Mu Yan understood, she was referring to forcing her to leave Jiang Jingheng in the past.

Yin Manqing suddenly said, ”Whether you believe it or not, I never plotted against Jiang Wenhao, never even thought of it. He was just a poor child, I don’t even hate his mother, let alone him. Besides, I was walking on thin ice in the Jiang Family back then. If I had done something like that, the old man would have been the first not to tolerate it. I’m not that stupid.”

Mu Yan glanced at her and asked, ”Was the car accident back then an accident?”

”I don’t know if it was an accident, but... he wasn’t just blocking my way.” Yin Manqing said calmly.

Mu Yan suddenly thought of the people in the Jiang Family’s second branch, seeing how they usually despised Jiang Jingheng, probably thinking he took Jiang Yutai’s inheritance.

If Jiang Wenhao were the heir instead, wouldn’t they harbor resentment?

Yin Manqing suddenly said, ”Nowadays, the internal power struggle within the Jiang Family is intensifying. You are Jing Heng’s wife, and it’s inevitable some might try to use you against Jing Heng, so you can’t trust anyone, not even Jing Heng.”

Mu Yan originally wanted to say Jiang Jingheng wouldn’t deceive her, but seeing no hint of joking in Yin Manqing’s eyes.

She subconsciously nodded.
