Chapter 291: She Must Expose Her Lies!
The room had the heater on, making it a bit warm.Jiang Jingheng helped Mu Yan take off her coat and hung it on the rack.
Ning Ze and the others were used to this thoughtful behavior, but Jian Shaohan and Zheng Lu Hua were so surprised their jaws almost dropped.
Is this really Brother Jiang?
Ning Ze and the others saw their surprised expressions and felt complete.
See, it’s not just us who think Brother Jiang is acting unusual.
Jiang Jingheng led Mu Yan to sit at the head of the table, and the others took their seats in turn.
The dishes were served, and several bottles of wine were opened today.
Ning Ze took the lead, standing up and raising his glass to Mu Yan, "Sister-in-law, congratulations on your award. You’re the most promising artist I’ve ever seen. I believe you’ll win more major awards in the future."
"Thank you." Mu Yan said, raising her glass and preparing to stand up, but was stopped by the person next to her.
Jiang Jingheng took the glass from her hand, looked at Ning Ze, and drank it all in one go.
His movements were so swift; his refined jaw lifted, thin lips slightly pursed, and his throat moved, adding a bit of allure.
Mu Yan was a bit dazed; he even looked good while drinking.
The others were also surprised. Young Master Jiang rarely drank at gatherings with them, but today he was drinking so straightforwardly.
Moreover, he was drinking on behalf of a woman.
What happened to ’women are like clothes, brothers are like limbs’?
Ning Ze wasn’t surprised, and smiled, "Brother Jiang drinking on behalf of Sister-in-law is understandable."
He tilted his head back and finished his glass, then sat down.
Following that, Dong Le and the others also got up one by one to toast Mu Yan, and naturally, the wine was ultimately drunk by Jiang Jingheng on her behalf.
After going around once, only Lan Xi and Zheng Lu Hua hadn’t toasted yet.
Lu Hao, sitting next to her, noticed she hadn’t moved, nudged her arm, and said, "Lan Xi, hurry up and toast your sister-in-law. We’re all brothers and sisters, no matter how many misunderstandings there were, she won’t hold it against you."
Mu Yan looked at Lan Xi. She actually no longer held a grudge for the embarrassment she caused last time.
She was about to speak when Jiang Jingheng beside her said, "Eat more food."
Mu Yan glanced at him and picked up her chopsticks to eat.
Some things didn’t matter to her, but the man beside her seemed to care a lot.
Lan Xi didn’t want to apologize at all; it was tantamount to having her face shoved to the ground.
But seeing Brother Jiang’s intention, she had no choice but to apologize.
She felt extremely aggrieved inside, yet she had to comply.
She picked up a glass of wine and said to Mu Yan, "Sister-in-law, I’m sorry."
Mu Yan put down her chopsticks, picked up her glass, and said to her, "It’s okay."
Lan Xi tilted her head back and finished the wine in her glass, then put the glass down and rushed out.
"Lan Xi!" Dong Le shouted.
"Probably just went to the bathroom." Lu Hao laughed, "Let’s keep drinking."
Mu Yan’s brow furrowed slightly; she could feel that Lan Xi really disliked her. Now, she probably disliked her even more, right?
Zheng Lu Hua raised her glass and stood up, addressing Mu Yan, "Mu Yan, no, Sister-in-law, let me toast you. I really didn’t expect you to be Brother Jiang’s girlfriend."
"You guys know each other?" Jian Shaohan beside her asked.
The others were also surprised.
Zheng Lu Hua explained, "I’ve met Sister-in-law several times, and I’m a fan of hers."
After she finished drinking, she couldn’t help but complain, "Brother Shao Han, look at how considerate Brother Jiang is, shielding Sister-in-law from the wine, while you just watch me drink."
If compared with others, Jian Shaohan would definitely be furious now, but with Jiang Jingheng, he could only admit defeat!
He laughed, "Alright, I’ll drink for you next time."
Outside, Lan Xi came out of the bathroom, feeling more upset the more she thought about it.
That Mu Yan is just a little celebrity. Why should she make these young masters and misses bow to her? What does she think she is?
As she walked, she suddenly saw the waiter delivering dishes and thought of something, and immediately formed an idea.
She must expose her lies!
Then let’s see how Brother Jiang will support her!
