On the way, Jiang Jingheng asked Mu Yan about so things in the Mu Family.
He had arranged for people to protect Mu Chen in the hospital, so he knew the Mu Family had caused a commotion there.
But seeing that she didn’t suffer any losses, he didn’t ask much at the ti.
Now, it seed things weren’t that simple.
Mu Yan didn’t intend to hide anything.
"Mu Chen’s father has two brothers. I moved into the Mu Family with my mom when she remarried. Their families don’t really like us; they think my mom is here to swindle Uncle Mu’s money.
When Uncle Mu was around, they could only say an things to belittle us. But after he passed away, they ca to fight for Mu Chen’s guardianship and Uncle Mu’s house.
At that ti, Mu Chen was young, grieving over his father’s death, and was manipulated by them. He thought my mom really coveted Uncle Mu’s money and wanted to abandon him, so he insisted on living with his uncle and aunt.
My mom had no choice but to give him to the Mu Family, as for the house, she never planned to keep it.
But who knew that after those people got the house, they ignored Mu Chen, not even buying him dicine. If it weren’t for the neighbors notifying us, Mu Chen might have already died."
ntioning these things made Mu Yan extrely disgusted with the Mu Family.
After all, Mu Chen was their flesh and blood too. How could they be so heartless? Moreover, they were using the money left by Mu Chen’s father.
Jiang Jingheng wasn’t particularly concerned about Mu Chen’s wellbeing, he asked, "They didn’t really bully you?"
Mu Yan’s eyes flickered as she said, "I’m not that easy to bully."
"Then what about that cousin of his?"
Mu Yan’s brow furrowed, her disdain clear, "He’s a complete societal scumbag, drinking, gambling, womanizing, you na it."
Jiang Jingheng gave her a glance. She rarely showed this kind of expression, so she must really dislike that person.
He thought of sothing and asked, "How did you bump into Ning Shishen today?"
Mu Yan didn’t hide it at lunch, she and Ning Shishen had lunch together.
"We coincidentally went to the sa art exhibition and t there," Mu Yan replied.
She thought of how Ning Shishen was so persistent about that sunflower painting today. If she could still paint, maybe they could beco good friends.
After all, it’s hard to find a soulmate!
"Next ti, don’t have lunch with him."
"Hmm?" Mu Yan looked at him, surprised.
Jiang Jingheng t her gaze seriously, "I’d get jealous!"
Mu Yan chuckled, "Why would you be jealous, it’s just a al."
Jiang Jingheng raised an eyebrow, "Fine, I’ll have lunch with a woman tomorrow."
Mu Yan’s brow furrowed slightly, "Don’t you dare!"
Seeing his teasing expression, she pursed her lips. Okay, she got it.
Don’t do unto others what you don’t want done unto you!
She thought of the news she learned from Ning Shishen today, feeling a bit heavy-hearted.
She cautiously asked, "Did you resolve your engagent with Zhao Xiyue?"
"Almost," Jiang Jingheng said nonchalantly.
"Hmm." Mu Yan nodded, not asking further.
Because no matter how much she asked, she couldn’t help him.
After arriving back at the villa, Mu Yan went to take a bath.
Jiang Jingheng took his phone downstairs to make a call.
"Investigate everyone in the Mu Family, especially that Mu Shijun."
He hung up the phone and was about to go upstairs when the phone rang; it was Yin Manqing calling.
He frowned slightly and answered.
Yin Manqing’s cold, angry voice ca through, "Why aren’t you announcing your engagent to Xiyue? What are you up to?"
Jiang Jingheng’s expression was indifferent: "Because once the engagent is announced, I’d have to announce the cancellation afterwards, too botherso."
With that, he hung up the phone and walked upstairs.
