Sir, How About A Marriage? Chapter 422 - Chastised

Chapter 422: Chastised

As though she did not notice anything wrong with Mu Qing’s reaction, Liang Zhou asked with a smile, “Are you staying for dinner? I’ll prepare your favorite dishes.”

Mu Qing thought to himself that if he said he was not staying for dinner, the current Liang Zhou likely would not stop smiling. In the end, he nodded.

Liang Zhou rose to her feet before she said, “Alright, I’m going to go check on the food.”

As soon as she turned around, her smile vanished. After making sure it was safe, she brought her phone out and sent Sister Yu a message that read: Sister Yu, I’ll visit the baby tomorrow. It’s rare that Mu Qing comes home so I’ll accompany him for dinner.

…

Sister Yu put her phone away after reading Liang Zhou’s message and said to Jiang Jin with a smile, “Liang Zhou said that she won’t be coming over today because she’s having dinner with sir.”

Jiang Jin nodded before she said with a smile, “Sent a roast duck over to their house.”

“Liang Zhou is now a vegetarian,” Sister Yu reminded.

“Then send a vegetarian Buddha Jumps Over the Wall over as well,” Jiang Jin said gently.

Ye Xin, who was sitting across from Jiang Jin and Sister Yu, dug her nails into her palms as she listened to Jiang Jin and Sister Yu’s exchange.

At this time, Jiang Jin s.h.i.+fted her gaze to Ye Xin and asked, “How long has it been since you’ve eaten with Mu Chen?”

Ye Xin was briefly stunned by the abrupt question. She thought to herself, displeased, ‘Don’t you know the answer to that?’

Nevertheless, outwardly, Ye Xin forced a smile on her face and said, “We haven’t eaten together, just the two of us, since the baby was born…”

Jiang Jin frowned. “Mu Chen is very busy recently. You have to spend more time caring for him.”

Jiang Jin’s cold and hard tone made Ye Xin even more displeased. She said, “Does he need me to care for him? Haven’t you seen his att.i.tude when he’s at home? He only spent time with the baby; he didn’t even spare me a glance. It’s clear he doesn’t treat me as his wife.”

Jiang Jin’s expression darkened. “How can you say such words? You’ve become worse than Liang Zhou. Liang Zhou knows how to care for Mu Qing. She’s meticulous about his food, clothes, and health. You don’t even care about Mu Chen. Do you know what Mu Chen has been so busy with recently?”

Ye Xin was so frightened by the sudden rebuke that she instinctively straightened her back. She had never seen Jiang Jin lose her temper before. Her arrogance and temper were nothing in front of Jiang Jin’s domineering aura.

At this moment, Sister Yu tried to smooth things over. She hurriedly said, “Young Madam, Young Master is on set with Young Master Cheng Che today. I heard Young Master Cheng Che’s new movie is almost done with filming. Why don’t you visit the set?”

Ye Xin’s eyes lit up. “Cheng Che is producing a movie?”

Jiang Jin’s expression was very unsightly as she said, “What’s going on with you recently? How can you not know that? You were so close to Cheng Che in the past that you’re both like siblings. Now, apart from money, you don’t care about anything else.”

Following that, Jiang Jin did not wait for Ye Xin’s reply. She shook her head as she rose to her feet and walked upstairs after saying, “You really disappoint me.”

Ye Xin sat stiffly. Her entire body was cold. In just an instant, tears fell down her face. She looked at Sister Yu with a pitiful expression as she asked, “What did I do wrong? Why did Grandma scold me?”

Sister Yu smiled faintly. “Young Madam, don’t overthink things. In fact, the Old Madam has always been like this. It’s because she cares about you that she even bothers to scold you. Saying that, you really have to care about the Young Master. Otherwise, I’m afraid the Old Madam would be even more displeased. Moreover, you’re always out recently. If I’m not mistaken, it’s not just because of your yoga cla.s.ses, right? The Old Madam is very observant, you know?”

After saying that, Sister Yu left as well.

Ye Xin felt as though she was frozen, unable to move.

‘Did they discover something? Did they send someone to follow me?’

Then, Ye Xin instinctively brought her phone out and sent a message that read: I want to see you.

…

Mu Qing glanced at the message before he replied: What’s the matter?

It did not take long before Ye Xin’s reply came. It read: I want to see you now! Now!

Following that, Mu Qing sent a message to his secretary..
