Chapter 1138: Chapter 1138: A Stage Full of Women

Pulled by Yin Manqing to show off, Mu Yan felt a bit uncomfortable.

Of course, the ones who felt even more uncomfortable were the relatives across from them who wanted to see a joke. Even if they were ignorant and didn’t know the Zhuang Family, seeing Yin Manqing’s smug expression, they knew the Zhuang Family was wealthy.

"Jing Heng really is fortunate."

"I said this child looks so noble and well-bred."

"See, I was right; she and Jing Heng are a match made in heaven."

...

Mu Yan felt the laughter of these people was about to break, and she pretended to smile along.

Who knew, one of them suddenly asked her, "Nuannuan right, how old are you this year?"

"Twenty-four," Mu Yan responded.

"I hear you’ve been married to Jing Heng for a year or two now; when do you plan to have children?"

Mu Yan smiled slightly, "Having children depends on fate."

The woman complained, "What do you mean by fate? You young people now just want to play, thinking there’s no rush to have children, but who knows, maybe one day when you want them, you won’t be able to have them."

"Yes, your cousin-in-law is about your age and already has her second, you should really step up!"

"Nuannuan, don’t mind me saying, as a woman, family should be the priority. Jing Heng isn’t short of money, so what are you making money for?"

...

Mu Yan kept a smile on her face, listening to them without responding.

As a fellow woman, yet seeing women as mere birth machines, it’s clear their upbringing is low; arguing with them would merely lower her own standards.

"Cousin-in-law, cousin, what are you all talking about?" Yin Manqing feigned displeasure, "As if everything is Nuannuan’s fault. This daughter-in-law of mine might not be perfect, but she’s filial, never once losing her temper with me. As for children, aren’t we advocating for optimal parenting nowadays? I don’t wish for her to have them too early; after one or two more years, the kids will be brighter."

Mu Yan looked at the unpleasant faces of the relatives opposite her, admiring Yin Manqing’s skills in her heart; her mother-in-law might have a bad temper, but her acting was on par with a movie star.

She figured out who Jiang Jingheng inherited his acting skills from.

Other relatives arrived one after another, Yin Manqing apologized to them and took Mu Yan away.

She looked at Mu Yan, who was quiet like a closed book, and said, "Just a few poor relatives, just jealous of how well we’re living. No need to pay attention to them, but we can’t let them bully us either."

"Hmm."

Yin Manqing saw her calm demeanor, feeling even more satisfied inside. 𝒻𝑟𝘦𝘦𝘸ℯ𝒷𝑛𝘰𝓋ℯ𝘭.𝘤𝘰𝘮

To be fair, though this daughter-in-law wasn’t close to her, she was quite worry-free.

She glanced at her high-heeled shoes and said, "Alright, go play on the side, or your husband will say I’m mistreating you."

Mu Yan was stunned for a moment, then looked up to see Yin Manqing walking away.

For some reason, she felt that today’s Yin Manqing was a bit different, or more precisely, not as annoying.

A short distance away, three affluent young men gathered together.

One of them said, "Young Master Liu, the one standing in the middle there looks a lot like that actress Mu Yan."

Liu Shiyuan’s gaze was fixed on Mu Yan, his eyes like a wolf’s.

"Why would she be here?" the person next to him asked.

"I think she seems to know the Jiang Family’s first lady, what relation does she have with the Jiang Family?"

"Hey, Young Master Liu, where are you going?"

The two looked up to see Liu Shiyuan heading towards Mu Yan.

Mu Yan was about to go to the door to find Jiang Jingheng when someone blocked her path.

"Miss Mu, where are you going?"

Mu Yan looked up; she had met this person before, Liu Shiyuan, Liu Xiangqing’s younger brother, and the one who caused Jiang Jingheng to suffer family discipline last time.

Her expression was indifferent, "Entertaining guests."

"I’m a guest too, why don’t you entertain me then?" Liu Shiyuan looked at her, a smirk on his face.

Mu Yan saw someone quickly approaching from ahead and suddenly smiled, "My husband is here, how about letting him entertain you?"
