Mu Yan glanced at the elegantly dressed lady beside her; she didn’t recall ever offending her.
But the way she looked at her was anything but friendly.
A friend being dismissed as a low-caste minor celebrity made Lan Xi feel sowhat embarrassed.
She looked at Mrs. Zhao and said, "Aunt Fang, Mu Yan is now a first-tier actress. How is she second-rate? If she’s second-rate, then what is Sister Xiyue?"
Mu Yan’s eyelid twitched, Xiyue? Zhao Xiyue?
She looked at the lady in front of her. Zhao Xiyue’s appearance was quite similar to hers; could she be Zhao Xiyue’s mother?
"Lan Xi, watch your words!" Lady Lan reprimanded sharply, "You should apologize to Aunt Fang now."
Lan Xi stiffened her neck, remaining silent. Originally, she respected Aunt Fang, but thinking of that bitch Zhao Jia Min, her heart burned with rage.
Considering Aunt Fang’s current sarcasm towards Mu Yan, combined with past grudges, she wasn’t about to hold back.
Mrs. Zhao’s face looked quite displeased, but her main ire was directed at Mu Yan.
Every ti she thought of her heartbroken daughter, she wanted nothing more than to rip out Mu Yan’s heart.
That Jiang Jingheng really had poor taste, choosing soone like that.
He dared to call off the engagent without considering if he was worthy of her precious daughter.
"At least my daughter doesn’t have depression, wasn’t ruined by so scumbag. If I were you, I’d be hiding at ho, not showing my face." Mrs. Zhao said coldly.
Mu Yan glanced at her but said nothing.
She was rely venting Zhao Xiyue’s anger, let her, she wouldn’t lose anything from it.
Moreover, with Lan Xi’s mother present, she also needed to preserve her dignity sowhat.
"Aunt Fang, you’re going too far." Lan Xi’s dissatisfaction grew.
Lady Lan, though unaware of the grudge between Mrs. Zhao and Mu Yan, was also displeased with Mrs. Zhao’s vulgar words.
After all, this girl was her daughter’s friend. Criticizing her was indirectly slandering her daughter.
Lady Lan looked at Lan Xi and said, "Lan Xi, take your friend and continue shopping."
Lan Xi didn’t want Mu Yan to suffer more, but since Mrs. Zhao was her elder, she couldn’t go too far. She could only take Mu Yan and leave.
As Mu Yan turned to leave, she heard Mrs. Zhao say, "Shuyun, you must be careful. The Jiang Family cannot possibly accept such a woman with no sense of propriety."
Although Qiu Shuyun didn’t understand Mrs. Zhao’s implication, she laughed and said, "Of course, not just any Tom, Dick, or Harry can enter the Jiang Family’s doors."
Mu Yan’s heart skipped a beat, Jiang Family? What is this person’s relationship with Jiang Jingheng?
Lan Xi’s heart sank as she pulled Mu Yan away quickly.
Lady Lan watched her daughter leave and asked Mrs. Zhao, "What grudge do you have against this young girl?"
"None, just find her unpleasant to look at." Mrs. Zhao answered.
Lady Lan and Qiu Shuyun exchanged a bewildered glance.
Of course, they didn’t pay much attention to the entertainnt industry, so they couldn’t possibly know about the feud between Zhao Xiyue and Mu Yan.
As for why Mrs. Zhao didn’t expose Mu Yan’s connection with Jiang Jingheng, it was entirely for the face of her daughter and the Zhao Family.
If outsiders knew that Jiang Jingheng, a bastard child, refused to marry her daughter for a minor celebrity, their family would beco the laughingstock of all Upper City.
Once they were far away, Lan Xi sighed with relief, complaining, "That Aunt Fang really has no filter. If Aunt Qiu found out about your relationship with Brother Jiang, it would be disastrous."
Mu Yan asked, "Who is that Aunt Qiu?"
Lan Xi explained, "She is the second wife of the Jiang Family, Brother Jiang’s second aunt. She’s not on good terms with Brother Jiang’s side, always eyeing the power in Brother Jiang’s hands. If they learn about Brother Jiang marrying you and stir things up with the old master, Brother Jiang would be finished. The old master values family status the most."
Mu Yan’s heart skipped a beat. She looked at Lan Xi, noting her composed expression, realizing she was speaking from the heart.
—Even though she had a good relationship with Lan Xi and the others, deep down, they probably didn’t think she was worthy of Jiang Jingheng either.
