Everyone followed the voice and saw a tall, handso man carrying a tray coming out of the kitchen. His stride was unhurried, with an inexplicable touch of elegance.
His light brown, almond-shaped eyes emitted a cold glint, extrely intimidating, and his formidable aura was impossible to ignore.
His gaze swept over Guan Chao and landed on Mu Yan, softening instantly like the first snow lting under the sun. "Co over for breakfast."
"Okay." Mu Yan smiled brightly and walked over.
The Guan Family mbers looked at this extraordinarily handso stranger. This man looked exceptionally good—both in appearance and temperant—exuding an air of nobility that clearly indicated he ca from a prestigious background.
Their gaze shifted back to Mu Yan, vaguely guessing that their relationship was not simple.
Instinctively, they looked at Guan Chao. If things were as they thought, the difference was too stark.
Guan Chao felt a bit uncomfortable seeing Mu Yan’s familiar attitude. He suddenly smiled and asked, "Who might this gentleman be? He looks familiar, like I’ve seen him sowhere."
This was also what the other mbers of the Guan Family wanted to ask. They had brought Guan Chao to apologize, partly to proactively resolve grievances to avoid impacting the relationship between the two families, and partly to take this opportunity to set up the two young people. Aren’t all love-hate relationships like this?
However, if Mu Yan already had soone, their hopes would be dashed.
Jiang Jingheng placed the tray on the table, looked up at Guan Chao, and said calmly, "I don’t know you."
Guan Chao was montarily speechless, his expression a bit stiff. Was this person saying he didn’t think much of him? How arrogant!
The Guan Family mbers weren’t looking too happy, not just because of Jiang Jingheng’s haughtiness, but also due to that bit of suspicion in their hearts.
"Whose child is this? I don’t think I’ve seen him before either," Mrs. Guan said as she looked at Ruan Xinyu.
Ruan Xinyu was about to speak when Mrs. Zhuang interrupted, "This is my granddaughter’s husband, Jing Heng."
She said this while looking at Jiang Jingheng with a loving expression, "Jing Heng, co over and et your Grandpa Guan, Uncle Guan, and Aunt Guan."
The Guan Family felt as if they were struck by lightning. Granddaughter’s husband? Nuannuan married so early? They initially thought they were just dating, now there was no hope left at all.
Guan Chao was equally astonished, his heart sinking to the bottom.
Jiang Jingheng, with a cold expression, walked over to Old Sir Guan and called out, "Hello, Grandpa Guan."
Then he proceeded to greet Guan Chao’s parents.
Old Sir Guan smiled warmly, "Good child, we haven’t prepared any gifts for this first eting, please forgive us."
"Grandpa Guan, you’re too kind," Jiang Jingheng lowered his eyes respectfully.
Old Sir Guan could see his remarkable deanor and calm composure, secretly impressed, his face radiating a smile. "Haven’t you two had breakfast yet? Go and eat, don’t mind us."
Jiang Jingheng nodded and turned to look at Mu Yan.
Mu Yan smiled at him, sat down at the dining table, and picked up the chopsticks to eat.
In the living room, the Guan Family’s gaze still lingered on Jiang Jingheng and Mu Yan, watching the tender affection between them, feeling extrely disappointed.
Old Sir Guan suddenly turned to Mr. Zhuang beside him and asked, "Old Commander, which family is your grandson-in-law from? He doesn’t seem like an ordinary family’s child, very well-mannered."
"He’s the grandson of a friend of mine," Mr. Zhuang replied.
"Do I know them?" Old Sir Guan persistently inquired.
"The Shangcheng Jiang Family," Mrs. Zhuang answered.
The Shangcheng Jiang Family? There aren’t many Jiang Families in Upper City. The Guan Family understood instantly, and it was no wonder the Zhuang Family was willing to marry off their precious granddaughter so early.
Guan Chao, who had been silent, suddenly spoke, "As far as I know, the third young master of the Jiang Family is an illegitimate child."
