Chapter 959: Her Leg Is Broken!
Illegitimate child? Not only did the expressions of the Guan Family change, but those of the Zhuang Family as well.The Guan Family hadn’t expected such an outstanding man to be born of a mistress, and even less that the Zhuang Family would marry their most cherished granddaughter to an illegitimate child.
The Zhuang Family was displeased because the Guan Family dared to look down on Jiang Jingheng. Since he married Nuannuan, he is one of their own.
The Zhuang Family always protects their own, and they dislike seeing their own being bullied.
"So what if he’s an illegitimate child? As long as he is capable and good to our Nuannuan, that’s enough. A person can change anything about themselves, but not their birth. Being an illegitimate child is not his fault," Mrs. Zhuang said directly.
By rights, she shouldn’t be confronting someone of the younger generation; it’s beneath her dignity.
But if she doesn’t speak out, no one will.
Seeing her angry, the Guan Family looked at Mr. Zhuang’s expression and realized that their intentions had been guessed, their faces were awkward.
Mrs. Guan gave her son a warning glance; at this critical moment, they couldn’t afford to further offend the Zhuang Family.
At the dining table, Mu Yan heard the conversation from the living room.
She glanced at Jiang Jingheng, who was silently putting food on her plate, seemingly unbothered.
She quickly placed a piece of sausage onto his plate, "This is tasty."
Jiang Jingheng looked up at her, a gentle light flickering in his hazel eyes, "You should eat more."
"Okay." Mu Yan took a sip of the soft and sticky porridge, and when she looked up again, she saw Liang Rong coming downstairs, holding a bag as if she was about to leave.
She raised her eyebrows, what does this mean?
Liang Rong walked to the living room and said to Mrs. Zhuang, "Mom, Jiaojiao will be back soon."
Mu Yan looked at her in surprise, so Zhuang Chujiao is coming back? And she’s going out?
Liang Rong looked worried, "However, Jiaojiao fell down the stairs this morning, so I have to go to the hospital to pick her up."
"Is she okay?" Mrs. Zhuang’s expression changed slightly, "How did she fall down the stairs for no reason, where is she staying?"
"It seems her leg is broken, I have to go to the hospital to check first, and once she’s bandaged, I’ll bring her back," Liang Rong said, apologetically looking at the Guan Family, "I can only trouble Uncle Guan and the others to wait here."
Picking up Zhuang Chujiao would lead to a confrontation with Guan Chao, but with Zhuang Chujiao in the hospital, the Guan Family naturally had to wait.
The Guan Family looked at Liang Rong’s composure despite her worry and couldn’t dislike her.
After all, she is a mother, and what her children did had nothing to do with her.
"It’s okay, you go ahead," Mrs. Guan said warmly.
Although Ruan Xinyu didn’t like Zhuang Chujiao, she was, after all, a child of the Zhuang Family. She asked, "Can you manage on your own?"
"It’s okay, I’ve informed Shao Yang," Liang Rong replied.
"Alright, go quickly, Jiaojiao that child really doesn’t let people worry," Mrs. Zhuang said with a frown, but the anxiety on her face was genuine.
Mu Yan watched the Zhuang Family’s reaction to Zhuang Chujiao’s injury, and her heart suddenly felt cold. She understood Liang Rong’s intention, playing the sympathy card; she’s really clever.
Of course, perhaps the only thing she didn’t expect was Zhuang Shaoyang leaving the Zhuang Family yesterday. Otherwise, if he were present, he would have certainly convinced the elders to forgive Zhuang Chujiao, after all, she had already received "punishment" for breaking her leg, which is pitiful enough.
The more she thought about it, the colder she felt, Mu Yan shook off her thoughts, took another sip of porridge, which now suddenly tasted bland compared to before.
As Liang Rong was about to leave, she suddenly turned to Mu Yan, "Nuannuan, I know Jiaojiao did a lot of things that upset you, and I apologize on her behalf."
Mu Yan chuckled lightly, "You know I won’t forgive her, so there’s no need. Her injury is pitiful, but that doesn’t erase what she’s done. One matter is one matter."
Liang Rong said seriously, "Don’t worry, if it really was something she did, I will hold her accountable."
