Chapter 1201: Leaving!
On the stairs, Yin Manqing looked at Mu Yan, tears flickering in her eyes, unexpectedly at this moment, it was she who spoke up for her.Thinking back carefully, she hadn’t been particularly nice to this daughter-in-law, always looking down on her background.
But today, if it were any other well-known lady here, would anyone dare to speak on her behalf? Probably not.
She exhaled softly and said, "I’ve been in the Jiang Family for so many years, even if there isn’t much credit, there’s been a lot of effort. What’s wrong with taking something I deserve? Madam Jiang Zhengfang, you, a daughter married out, what qualifications do you have to meddle in your maiden family’s affairs? Your elder brother and father haven’t even said a word."
Being put down by this mother-in-law and daughter-in-law pair consecutively, Jiang Zhengfang wanted to explode, but looking at Old Sir Jiang and Jiang Zhenghong’s somber faces, plus Jiang Jingheng looming coldly beside them, she immediately chickened out, not daring to speak.
Yin Manqing felt it was pointless, went upstairs, and came down with a suitcase.
She dragged the suitcase, passed through the living room, her gaze lingering briefly on Jiang Jingheng, then walked straight out.
Mu Yan noticed Yin Manqing’s glance and looked at the person beside her.
Jiang Jingheng’s handsome face remained as indifferent as ever, not even glancing at her, as if the one leaving wasn’t his mother.
She sighed inwardly, she had just helped Yin Manqing purely out of personal thought; Jiang Zhengfang scolding Yin Manqing was also scolding Jiang Jingheng, and it was also due to that ridiculous sympathy.
Even though Yin Manqing initially left a bad impression on her, she hadn’t really done anything to harm her and had even helped her retort against Liang Rong and the others, though it might have been just because of her identity.
Of course, seeing Yin Manqing’s carefree departing silhouette, she felt Yin Manqing didn’t need her sympathy.
With Yin Manqing gone, a storm of displeasure welled up in Jiang Zhengfang’s heart, and as for Qiu Shuyun, needless to say, she would officially become the rightful mistress of the Jiang Family.
Only Jiang Zhenghong was the most affected; they weren’t married, he couldn’t control her stay or leave. Could this be considered reaping what he sowed?
He glanced at everyone in the living room, unwilling to stay, and went straight upstairs.
Just in time, Yu Tai returned from outside and noticed something was amiss in the living room atmosphere. He asked, "What’s going on with everyone, why is everyone standing here?"
Qiu Shuyun glanced at her son, frowning slightly, why was he so late coming back?
"Nothing’s wrong, about to have dinner." She said, looking at Old Sir Jiang, "Dad, dinner is ready."
Old Sir Jiang nodded, stood up, and headed to the dining room.
The table was already set with dishes, waiting for everyone to sit down.
Qiu Shuyun walked over to her son and whispered, "Your grandfather is in a bad mood, so don’t say anything reckless later."
Jiang Yutai was somewhat impatient, his grandfather was in a bad mood, but so was he.
"Got it."
His gaze landed on Jiang Zhengfang and he asked, "What’s the matter with you, Aunt?"
Being asked by her nephew about her embarassed situation, Jiang Zhengfang was very uncomfortable. She turned her head and glared at Mu Yan, "Of course, it’s thanks to my dear niece-in-law. Yutai, when you get married, make sure to choose someone obedient and respectful to elders."
Jiang Yutai was stunned for a moment, then looked at Mu Yan, suddenly recalling the recent news. He already disliked Mu Yan because of Zhuang Chujiao, now he despised her even more.
He mockingly said, "Jingheng, I’ve always said this woman would betray you sooner or later. Well, now you’ve seen it, good thing the outside world doesn’t know your relationship with her yet, otherwise, our Jiang Family could really not afford to lose face like this."
