Chapter 1297: Chapter 1297: Departure!

Wrong, what wrong?

Mu Yan looked at Zhuang Yi’s remorseful expression, momentarily unsure of what to say.

To be honest, he hadn’t wronged her.

If blame must be put, it was her fault for having too many expectations from the start, not positioning herself correctly.

Soon, Jiang Jingheng came down, and the three walked back to the villa together, silent all the way, each of them seemingly preoccupied.

Not long after returning, Zhuang Yi was dragging his luggage down the stairs.

Mu Yan looked at him in surprise, "Are you going back?"

"Just received a call from the army, there’s a special assignment for me to carry out, so I must rush back to Beijing now." Zhuang Yi smiled, "Looks like I won’t have the chance to stay at your place any longer."

"Oh."

Zhuang Yi glanced at her, a flash of disappointment in his eyes, quickly concealed.

He walked over to Jiang Jingheng, patted his shoulder, and said: "Take Nuannuan to Beijing to visit sometime."

Jiang Jingheng didn’t respond directly, only saying: "Take care on the road."

Zhuang Yi’s lips twitched slightly, he dragged his luggage outside.

The driver had been waiting outside for a while, seeing Zhuang Yi come out, he immediately stepped forward to take his luggage, placing it in the trunk.

Zhuang Yi looked back once, Jiang Jingheng stood at the door, missing the presence of that person beside him, he smiled and waved before getting into the car.

Soon, the car drove away.

Jiang Jingheng turned around and went inside, seeing Mu Yan standing at the doorway.

He said: "It’s a bit hot outside, let’s go in."

"Okay." Mu Yan nodded and went upstairs.

Just as she reached the staircase, Mu Yan’s gaze fell on the guest room to the right, where Zhuang Yi had stayed yesterday.

Though reluctant to admit it, his sudden departure did leave her feeling a bit unsettled.

"Why not call Zhuang Yi back?" Behind her, Jiang Jingheng’s voice sounded softly.

Mu Yan turned to look at him, thinking she misheard, "What?"

Jiang Jingheng came closer, taking her hand, saying: "Take a nap first, we’ll go out for dinner tonight."

"Okay." Mu Yan nodded, returning to the room with him.

Over at the Jiang Family’s second house, chaos was brewing.

The old man was unrelenting, and in a fit of rage, almost threw them out of the house as well.

Jiang Wenhui was urgently called back home, and as soon as she entered, she saw her parents as frantic as ants on a hot pan. She asked, "Why did you call me back?"

"Your brother is about to be kicked out, and you’re out there having fun, is this how a sister should behave?" Qiu Shuyun said angrily.

Jiang Wenhui furrowed her brows slightly, fully aware of her mother’s bias, and quickly looked at her relatively rational father.

"Dad, what trouble has Yu Tai caused now?"

Jiang Zhengfeng, with a somber expression, recounted the matter of Zhuang Yi coming to the Jiang Family to demand accountability.

Jiang Wenhui said with displeasure: "Yu Tai is confused, how could he do such a thing?"

Qiu Shuyun, in frustration, said: "Whose sister are you exactly? Now isn’t the time for you to turn against your own. Your grandfather has already ordered him to leave the Jiang Family, what do you say should be done now?"

"No one can change Grandpa’s decision." Jiang Wenhui said coldly, "He dared to tarnish Jing Heng and Nuannuan’s reputation, he should have anticipated this day."

Listening to this, Qiu Shuyun’s anger flared, she stepped forward and slapped Jiang Wenhui across the face.

"Wretched child, how did I give birth to someone as heartless and ruthless as you?"

Jiang Zhengfeng said with irritation: "Why are you hitting the child, it’s not her fault. If you have the time, you’d better discipline Yu Tai."

He looked at Jiang Wenhui, "Wenhui, your mother..."

Jiang Wenhui ignored him, stepping towards the stairs, her eyes filled with a steely ice.
