Chapter 1292: Chapter 1292: Settling Accounts!

The women in the living room were all intimidated by Zhuang Yi’s presence, shrinking back slightly. Once they understood his words, their faces changed.

This man claims to be a member of the Zhuang Family, saying she is Mu Yan’s family member, not a lover?

Jiang Zhengting rolled her eyes mentally as she looked at the awkward expressions of her sisters. Are these people growing in age but not in intelligence? Which woman would daringly bring her lover to her husband’s family like this?

Didn’t they see the young man holding gifts, clearly visiting as a guest?

She found Qiu Shuyun and her troublemaking friends even more repulsive, always creating havoc for her to clean up.

She asked with a smile, "Nuannuan, who is this?"

Zhuang Yi sneered, "I’m Zhuang Xiangnuan’s lover."

As soon as these words came out, the others shrank their necks.

Mu Yan wasn’t as resentful as he was, introducing, "This is my cousin Zhuang Yi, the only son of my eldest uncle. He’s visiting me in Upper City and wanted to visit Grandpa and other elders at home."

The eldest son of the Zhuang Family is now a top-level official; anyone with a bit of status knows his name.

As his only son, Zhuang Yi is practically the Crown Prince of the Zhuang Family.

So, did they just accidentally offend the Crown Prince of the Zhuang Family in a moment of verbal triumph?

Watching Zhuang Yi’s furious demeanor, the women exchanged glances.

One of them reproached, "Nuannuan, since this is your cousin, why didn’t you introduce us to him? Otherwise, there wouldn’t be this misunderstanding."

"Yes, Nuannuan, it’s all a misunderstanding."

Misunderstanding? Mu Yan tugged at the corner of her mouth, "I wanted to introduce him, but did you ever give me a chance? You directly slapped an infidelity label on me. How much do you dislike me? I know my family background is a little better, which inevitably makes people jealous, but there’s nothing I can do. Being born is a technical skill; if you want to blame, blame my luck."

Seeing her arrogant demeanor, the women were gnashing their teeth in hatred but had no retort.

Zhuang Yi said in a deep voice, "This matter isn’t over."

He looked at the servants below, coldly asking, "Where are the Jiang family’s men? I need to ask face-to-face; does the Jiang Family have no rules anymore!"

The servants were a bit at a loss seeing this.

Just then, he saw Jiang Jingheng standing at the door, using his eyes to inquire.

Jiang Jingheng nodded towards him, and the servant immediately went upstairs.

Mrs. Liu saw Zhuang Yi’s fierce appearance and felt uneasy, regretting she had spoken earlier, already developing a retreating intention.

She said, "It’s getting late, and I have some matters to attend to, so I won’t stay long."

She picked up her purse and stood up to leave.

The other two wealthy women also followed suit, "Since the house has guests, we will leave first."

Zhuang Yi looked at them and sneered, "Before this matter is clarified, no one is allowed to leave."

Upon hearing this, the faces of the wealthy women turned unpleasant.

"What, Young Master Zhuang, are you planning to imprison us?"

"Don’t think that just because you are the young master of the Zhuang Family, we will be afraid of you."

Zhuang Yi chuckled, "I wouldn’t dare abuse my power. After all, the Zhuang Family has strict regulations, unlike some people who rely on their mouths, spouting nonsense and colluding."

"You..."

Zhuang Yi folded his arms, his expression icy.

Soon, the old man was assisted downstairs by the servants.

Upon his arrival, the women became instantly silent as if they were quails, afraid to make a sound, trying hard to minimize their presence.

Zhuang Yi smirked and stepped forward, "Young man Zhuang Yi, greets Grandpa Jiang."
