The atmosphere in the living room grew more subtle, yet certain people remained oblivious.
Even though in Mu Yan’s mory it was her first ti stepping into the Zhuang Household’s door, she vaguely sensed that the Zhuang Family was not as harmonious as they appeared on the surface.
At least with this trouble-stirring so-called aunt of hers around, peace was unlikely.
And Liang Rong, defended by Zhuang Jiaoyang, looked at Zhuang Jiaoyang with a troubled expression, seemingly blaming her for speaking out of turn.
As if aware of Mu Yan’s gaze, she looked at her and apologized, "Nuannuan, don’t listen to your aunt’s nonsense; I don’t mind."
Mu Yan said in surprise, "So it turns out Auntie was speaking nonsense."
Liang Rong froze for a mont, then gave a slightly embarrassed smile as she looked at her innocent face.
Mu Yan smiled slightly and let her gaze fall elsewhere.
Zhuang Jiaoyang glanced at Liang Rong, sowhat unhappy, thinking she was trying to help her, yet she didn’t appreciate it.
Forget it, she decided not to bother.
She snorted lightly and returned to sit beside her husband.
Old Mrs. Zhuang glared harshly at her daughter, grabbed Mu Yan’s hand, and said, "Co, let’s sit and chat."
Mu Yan assisted the old lady to sit down and said, "Grandma, I want to introduce soone to you."
Everyone turned their gaze to Jiang Jingheng, who was standing behind her.
For soone like Zhuang Shaoyang, who knew about the relationship between Jiang Jingheng and Mu Yan, he found him unpleasant in every way, thinking about how his "jade cabbage" of a family had been trampled by a pig, feeling increasingly upset.
Old Mrs. Zhuang, unlike the others, focused solely on her granddaughter and only then noticed she had brought a man back.
This young man she had seen before, a good friend of Zhuang Yi’s, what was his relationship with Nuannuan?
"Oh, isn’t this Jiaojiao’s boyfriend?" Zhuang Jiaoyang looked at Jiang Jingheng with a frown, "I’ve seen your photo on Jiaojiao’s phone. Are you here to see Jiaojiao? She’s not ho today."
As soon as she said this, Old Mrs. Zhuang’s face changed instantly, looking at Jiang Jingheng with strong displeasure in her eyes.
Only Zhuang Jiaoyang, the thoughtless one, could fail to see the situation, or perhaps she was deliberately distorting the truth.
Either way, Mu Yan and Jiang Jingheng’s relationship instantly beca awkward.
Zhuang Yi knew his aunt’s nature—arrogant and selfish, never considering others’ feelings—but today was an important day for Nuannuan’s hocoming; he couldn’t let her have a bad impression of this family.
He stepped up and said, "Aunt, you must be joking. Jingheng is Jiaojiao’s boyfriend? How co I didn’t know? I know Jiaojiao has a crush on Jingheng, but I’ve asked Jingheng long ago, and he doesn’t reciprocate her feelings at all."
Zhuang Jiaoyang sneered, "Who knows if they haven’t been in contact privately? Or maybe you’ve been watching them all the ti? Nowadays, there are plenty of people with a foot in two boats, let alone this one with an extraordinary family background, maybe it’s more than two boats."
The man sitting next to her slightly frowned and tugged at her sleeve.
Zhuang Jiaoyang, a bit impatient, shook off his hand.
"I’m just speaking the truth. Why are you pulling ? If you dare to do it, why aren’t you daring to let it be said?"
Mu Yan originally was willing to return to the Zhuang Family rely for the sake of the two elders, but she hadn’t even taken a seat yet, when so people kept giving her a hard ti, and now they were dragging Jiang Jingheng into the mire.
If she just tolerated it, she’d be absurd.
She was here to reunite, not to be mistreated.
She looked at her with a curious face, "The way you say it sounds quite experienced."
