Zhuang Chujiao’s words were like a cold splash of water, leaving everyone thoroughly chilled.
Ruan Xinyu instinctively glanced at Jiang Zhenghong and his wife. The Jiang Family was among the elite in Upper City; would they allow a daughter-in-law to work in the entertainnt industry?
Liang Rong pulled her daughter aside, looking at her with a face full of reproach.
She turned her head toward Mu Yan and said, "Nuannuan, don’t mind it, Jiaojiao didn’t an it."
If it wasn’t unintentional, then it was deliberate. Mu Yan smiled slightly, "I did mind a bit."
A mont’s hesitation passed over Liang Rong as she explained, "That’s just her temper, no ill intentions."
"No ill intentions, so she can criticize at will?" Yin Manqing frowned and said, "How is it shaful for my daughter-in-law to be an actress? Even as an actress, she is one of the best. Besides, with our Jing Heng supporting her, her career will only get better. Miss Zhuang looks down on her so much, I’d like to know where she’s prospering?"
Yin Manqing’s blunt retort changed the expressions of the Zhuang Family, especially Liang Rong and Zhuang Chujiao, whose faces looked the worst.
Though she knew Yin Manqing accepted Mu Yan due to her status, she hadn’t expected that she would tolerate her joining the entertainnt industry.
Ruan Xinyu wished she could tear Zhuang Chujiao’s mouth off—how obnoxious she was!
Even Liang Rong, usually eloquent, could not say a single good word for Zhuang Chujiao at this mont.
Zhuang Shaoyang glared at her, regretting bringing her and her mother; it was simply embarrassing.
He looked at Mu Yan, his eyes full of apology, "Nuannuan, your sister..."
Mu Yan didn’t even bother to look at him, turning her head to ask Mr. Zhuang, "Grandfather, did you like the movie?"
Though she intended to avoid Zhuang Shaoyang, she sincerely sought Mr. Zhuang’s opinion.
Zhuang Shaoyang felt a bit stifled; he used to think his daughter was estranged, but now he had a feeling she might never be close to him.
Mr. Zhuang looked at his granddaughter’s anxious face, frowning slightly, "I always said you should join the military."
Mu Yan was montarily stunned, unsure how to respond.
Mrs. Zhuang laughed and said, "Your grandfather is praising your acting."
Hearing this, Mu Yan’s face flushed instantly, and she couldn’t help wanting to laugh at the old man’s awkwardness.
Mr. Zhuang suddenly said, "If you like acting, then act. But as my granddaughter, you must excel at whatever you do."
"Don’t worry, Grandfather. Sooner or later, I’ll get a Best Actress award. By then, you must co to the cinema to watch my movie." Mu Yan said seriously.
"We’ll see when the ti cos." Mr. Zhuang replied, his expression unchanged.
Mu Yan chuckled; her grandfather was truly proud.
Seeing that the Zhuang Family agreed with Mu Yan acting, Yin Manqing thought to herself that her earlier decision was correct.
This only made her look down on Zhuang Chujiao even more; she was glad her son chose Mu Yan.
Otherwise, having soone as foolish as Zhuang Chujiao as a daughter-in-law would have cost her years of life.
After the movie ended, Jiang Jingheng arranged a car to send them back.
It was only upon arriving at the Zhuang Family that Mu Yan inford Ruan Xinyu and the others that she was returning to Upper City the next day.
Mrs. Zhuang was naturally reluctant, "Can’t you stay a bit longer?"
Having finally reconnected with her granddaughter, she wished Mu Yan could stay by her side.
She hadn’t expected her to be married, but that didn’t prevent her from staying at her family ho longer.
Mu Yan hesitated a bit, "I accepted so work before I ca here, and it’s in these few days. Once I’m done, I’ll co back to Beijing to see you."
Mrs. Zhuang wanted to persuade her to stay but was interrupted by Mr. Zhuang.
"Enough, the child’s grown up and has her career. She can’t stay by your side all the ti."
Mr. Zhuang paused for a mont, then added, "Rember to co ho often."
