Mu Yan paused, glanced at Mrs. Guan, and understood her intentions clearly.
She also guessed the Zhuang Family’s attitude.
"Jiaojiao was in the wrong on this matter, implicating Guan Chao. Our families have always been on good terms, and the younger generation’s issues won’t affect our relationship." Mrs. Zhuang spoke directly.
Now it’s impossible for Zhuang Chujiao to co back and confront them. If this isn’t resolved now, it will be difficult to invite the Guan Family over in the future.
When people give you face, you can’t step on theirs, especially when the two families are close.
Mrs. Guan was pleased to hear this, "Don’t worry, Auntie. I’ll definitely keep a closer eye on that brat Guan Chao in the future."
Mrs. Zhuang smiled but said nothing; they never really intended to send Guan Chao to the police station. Now that this situation with Jiaojiao arose, it provided them both an easy way out.
"Nuannuan, wear more clothes," ca the gentle voice of Ruan Xinyu.
Mrs. Zhuang followed her gaze and saw Mu Yan standing nearby, wearing a long-sleeved shirt that looked quite thin.
She realized that Mu Yan might have heard their conversation earlier, and felt a bit guilty.
"Nuannuan..."
Mu Yan smiled at her, "It is quite cold, I’ll go back to my room and change."
"Yes, wear more. The temperature fluctuates a lot in Beijing, don’t catch a cold."
Mu Yan smiled and nodded to Mrs. Guan, then went upstairs with Jiang Jingheng.
Mrs. Guan looked at Mrs. Zhuang, and said with so regret, "Nuannuan is as beautiful and polite as her mom, but it’s a pity she married so early."
"Yes, obedient just like her mom." Mrs. Zhuang’s smile grew more genuine.
Ruan Xinyu frowned slightly; it was because she was too obedient that she suffered.
The child’s heart is hard to warm, and now it seems it has grown even colder.
After returning to her room, Mu Yan put on a coat, but it couldn’t dispel the chill in her heart.
Originally, she felt guilty for using them to drive Zhuang Shaoyang away, but now it seed her mind wasn’t clear.
It’s not that they didn’t love her, but they also cherished Zhuang Chujiao. Otherwise, when Liang Rong forced her mother out as a mistress years ago, why would they accept her all these years if not for the sake of Zhuang Chujiao, their granddaughter?
Yesterday, everyone said Zhuang Chujiao should give her an explanation, but they softened when they heard she was hurt.
Or, from the beginning, they never intended to really do anything to Zhuang Chujiao.
At most, just apologize.
And the obedient and sensible her should comply with the wishes of the elders who love her, for the Zhuang Family’s face.
"Don’t be sad." Jiang Jingheng suddenly hugged her, his handso face tense.
Even though she didn’t say anything, he knew she was upset.
She was not like him, who could be indifferent to family.
It was precisely because she cared that she got hurt.
But after being hurt so many tis, she no longer had any expectations.
Mu Yan embraced him, feeling wronged, wanting to cry but unable to, just heartbroken.
She even thought of leaving here.
But she knew, if she left, it would tell her grandparents that she wasn’t satisfied with their decision. They had already driven their own son away for her sake, should she really ask for more?
Just then, Jiang Jingheng received a phone call; sothing required his decision at the company.
Mu Yan said to him, "You handle the company’s matters first, I’ll head down to get a glass of hot water, my throat feels a bit dry."
"Okay." Jiang Jingheng nodded, taking out his laptop to deal with work.
Mu Yan went downstairs, Mrs. Guan and Mrs. Zhuang were still chatting, so she went to the kitchen herself, not expecting to find Guan Chao inside.
