A-List Actress: Paper Marriage but Pampering Billionaire

Chapter 1466: Chapter 1456: My Girl

All morning, Mu Yan and Kong Lizhen stayed at the hospital with the elderly lady.

The old lady woke up and didn’t mistake Kong Lizhen for Zhuang Ning this time. Instead, she chatted with her incessantly.

”Is it the same abroad as it is here?”

”Of course, it’s not as good as it is here. My family has always thought of coming back, but for various reasons, it hasn’t been possible,” Kong Lizhen said with a smile. ”But now, with advanced transportation, we can come back anytime.”

The old lady pressed further, ”Are you still going back?”

Kong Lizhen thought for a moment and said, ”I’ll go back after handling some matters here.”

”When will that be?”

Kong Lizhen paused, looking at the old lady’s anxious expression, and smiled, ”I guess it’ll take quite some time.”

Mu Yan stood by the side, watching the old lady and Kong Lizhen talk, feeling somewhat left out.

In the past, whenever she came back, Grandma would always give her priority.

Could it be because...

Her gaze suddenly fell on Kong Lizhen’s face. Did her godmother and mother really look so alike? Not really.

Just then, her phone rang.

She glanced at the caller ID, walked out the door, and answered.

”Sister Wen Hui, is there something you need?”

”Yes, I am currently in Beijing as my grandma is hospitalized,” Mu Yan said as she walked, finding a quiet place to sit down.

”Thank you for your kindness, Sister Wen Hui. The issues between him and me aren’t something that can be cleared up in a short while. In short, it’s not something a single word of defense or an explanation can resolve. Anyway, regardless of what happens between us, you’ll always be my sister.”

”Thank you for your concern. I’ll convey it to my grandma.”

Mu Yan hung up the phone and stared at it for a good while.

She couldn’t help but check Weibo. Her alleged ”marital breakdown” with Jiang Jingheng was still trending in the hot searches.

There was even more ”evidence” now, including a photo of her visiting her sick grandma in Beijing without Jiang Jingheng.

A few hours ago, the internet was full of voices calling her shameless for alleged cheating. Now, those comments had all been wiped clean. Netizens speculated that Jiang Jingheng was behind it. Some mocked him for being happy to wear the cuckold’s hat, while others were ”convinced” he had committed the mistake that all men might and was now seeking Mu Yan’s forgiveness.

Mu Yan read several comments, turned off her phone, and turned to head back to the ward, only to see a familiar face standing behind her. ℴℴ𝘮

Her face changed slightly as she scanned him and frowned, ”Why are you here?”

”Of course, I’m here for you, my girl,” the man chuckled lowly.

Back in Upper City, at Shengyuan Group, Jiang Wenhui hung up the phone and, after pondering for a moment, suddenly left with some documents.

Upon reaching the conference room, she realized Jiang Jingheng hadn’t arrived yet. All the other shareholders were present. Today was a critical moment for project decision-making, and as the president, Jiang Jingheng had to be present.

She asked the assistant beside her, ”Where is the president?”

”Well...”

”What’s going on? Not attending the meeting?” one of the shareholders began expressing dissatisfaction.

Seeing this, Jiang Wenhui promptly said, ”Please, all shareholders, remain calm. There are still three minutes left before the meeting starts. I believe President Jiang is handling important matters and should be here any moment now.”

”What important matters? Isn’t it just trying to fix the fallout with the Zhuang Family?” someone sarcastically remarked.

Jiang Wenhui did not respond, maintaining a gentle smile as she looked at everyone.

Just then, the office door creaked open, and Jiang Wenhui smiled, ”I told you Jing Heng would come soon. See, here he is.”

But when she turned to look, her smile froze immediately, and she frowned, ”Where is Jing Heng?”
