Chapter 1419: Abandoned Wife!

Chapter 1419: Chapter 1419: Abandoned Wife!

Kong Lizhen wasn’t surprised at Jiang Jingheng’s gentle demeanor, as if he was trying to make up for something he’d done wrong.

But the mistake had already been made. Just because he was being deferential, should they forgive him?

"Of course, we’ll take good care of Yanyan. We don’t need him pretending to care. Don’t bother with him in the future," Kong Lizhen said irritably.

Kong Yanzi nodded, "Okay."

That night, Mu Yan didn’t sleep well. In a daze, she heard Jiang Jingheng talking to her, but when she opened her eyes, the space next to her was empty, and she was in a strange room, nowhere near him.

Finally enduring until dawn, when Kong Lizhen came to see her in the morning, she noticed Mu Yan with dark circles under her eyes, looking sleepily.

She asked, "Didn’t sleep well?"

Mu Yan pressed her lips together, "I have a bit of trouble sleeping in a new bed."

"It’s okay. You’ll get used to it after a few days," Kong Lizhen comforted.

Mu Yan looked at her, hesitant to speak.

She didn’t want to stay here; she wanted to go home.

But saying it seemed too spineless.

When she turned on her phone in the morning, there were no missed calls, apparently he hadn’t called her at all.

Or rather, he didn’t hope for her to come home.

"I’ve already asked someone to bring breakfast here. You can get up first. After breakfast, I’ll take you out for a walk," Kong Lizhen said softly.

"Okay." Mu Yan nodded, got out of bed, and went to the bathroom to freshen up.

Having not slept well last night, Mu Yan had no appetite in the morning. She absent-mindedly ate a few bites. Seeing her unable to eat, Kong Lizhen felt extremely sympathetic and hated Jiang Jingheng’s unreliability even more.

But she dared not bring him up, for fear of reminding her of sad things.

After breakfast, Kong Lizhen decided to take her swimming; it was August, still hot, perfect for swimming.

Unfortunately, Mu Yan didn’t like swimming, even rejecting it a bit.

But she was afraid of spoiling Kong Lizhen’s good mood, so she didn’t refuse.

Kong Lizhen had prepared a very conservative swimsuit for her beforehand.

Mu Yan wore the swimsuit, draped a white towel over her shoulders, and followed Kong Lizhen to the swimming pool on the top floor. Although Kong Lizhen was almost fifty, she maintained a good figure, wearing a one-piece swimsuit that showed off her graceful figure, though she always had a silk scarf around her neck.

Mu Yan had already noticed the burn marks on her neck and had tentatively asked about it.

Kong Lizhen only said it was an accident, that she had escaped death, but was left with burn scars on her neck.

Mu Yan lay on the lounge chair, watching Kong Lizhen swim.

The sunlight was so nice, it made her drowsy.

In a daze, she felt someone walk by, but she was too sleepy to open her eyes, only sensing a few gazes on her.

"Hey, doesn’t this person look a lot like that actress, Mu Yan?"

"You don’t say, she really does. What’s she doing here? Is Young Master Jiang here too?"

"I didn’t see him. I don’t think he’s here. Haven’t you seen today’s news?"

"Yeah, it seems Young Master Jiang cheated with another actress. It looks like the online rumors are true. Their relationship is broken, so Mu Yan left home and is staying at a hotel. So pitiful."

"What’s pitiful about that? She married Jiang Jingheng. If they divorce, who knows how much alimony she’ll get."

"Alright, alright, let’s go. Even if she’s the Jiang Family’s abandoned wife, we can’t afford to offend her."

...

Mu Yan slowly opened her eyes and saw two curvy women leaving. Her eyes suddenly turned red.
