Chapter 1290: Chapter 1290: Stingy

Zhuang Yi looked at Jiang Jingheng’s displeased expression, feeling anxious, and glanced at his phone, "Mu Yan’s new romance exposed, wealthy marriage in crisis."

He thought he had misread it, patiently finished reading, and felt his face almost turning green with anger.

"Are the media nowadays really this full of nonsense? Me and Nuannuan?" He looked at Jiang Jingheng angrily, "How come trashy media like this aren’t shut down yet?"

Jiang Jingheng tightly furrowed his brows, "So, you two had dinner yesterday and also went shopping afterward?"

Zhuang Yi replied, "Yeah, after dinner, Nuannuan accompanied me to buy some stuff, and then we went to the hospital to visit Mu Chen’s younger brother."

He noticed that after he said this, Jiang Jingheng’s expression worsened.

As a single man who had already ended his unmarried status, Zhuang Yi could still read Jiang Jingheng’s expression.

He was a bit speechless, "Are you seriously jealous even of me?"

Jiang Jingheng neither confirmed nor denied, but the coldness in his almond eyes was unmistakable.

Seeing his guess was right, Zhuang Yi felt both amused and frustrated, "I’m Nuannuan’s brother, how could there be anything between us? Can you use your brain to think it through and not be jealous over everything?"

"If you two weren’t blood-related, do you think you could stand here?" Jiang Jingheng looked at him coldly.

Zhuang Yi, "..."

He rubbed his nose, "You’re so petty."

Jiang Jingheng snorted softly, he’s never been known for being generous.

Zhuang Yi pulled out a chair, sat opposite Jiang Jingheng, and said, "However, I think this is a good opportunity."

Jiang Jingheng glanced at him and said indifferently, "Is your Zhuang Family willing?"

Zhuang Yi didn’t initially understand what he meant, but seeing that sarcastic look, he understood instantly.

"There’s no need to taunt me. What happened back then was indeed my second uncle’s fault, and of course, we can’t escape responsibility. Now it’s time for us to clear Nuannuan’s name."

Jiang Jingheng didn’t say anything, took his phone, and resisted the urge to call his assistant to remove the trending topic.

After a while, Mu Yan came downstairs and saw the two sitting facing each other, eyes wide, and asked, "Why aren’t you eating breakfast?"

"Waiting for you to eat together." Zhuang Yi smiled as he looked at her.

Mu Yan nodded, "No need to be so formal."

She sat down next to Jiang Jingheng and started eating breakfast.

The two didn’t mention anything about the online matters and just quietly finished breakfast.

Zhuang Yi said, "Nuannuan, since I’m here in Upper City, I must visit the Jiang Family, or else it would be impolite."

Mu Yan glanced at him, "I didn’t see you going before?"

"Wasn’t time tight before?" Zhuang Yi muttered as he rubbed his nose, "Besides, if I don’t go, the Jiang Family might think our family is easy to bully and keep making things difficult for you. This time, my mom specifically told me to visit your in-laws."

Since he even mentioned Ruan Xinyu, Mu Yan couldn’t refuse. But where did he get the idea that the Jiang Family was making things difficult for her?

She asked, "Have you prepared the gifts?"

"Don’t worry, I’ll prepare now. Let’s act separately and meet at the Jiang Family."

Before Mu Yan could say anything, Zhuang Yi went back to his room to tidy up.

Mu Yan looked at Jiang Jingheng, a bit helpless, "That’s just how he is, always in a rush."

Jiang Jingheng knitted his brows slightly. He had known Zhuang Yi for over a decade and understood him better than she did.

Her words already considered Zhuang Yi as family, which was a subtle feeling.
