A-List Actress: Paper Marriage but Pampering Billionaire-Chapter 584: She is my older brother’s fiancée!

Chapter 584: Chapter 584: She is my older brother’s fiancée!

Jiang Jingheng found out from Lian Jun at the company that he and Liu Xiangqing had made the headlines together, with all sorts of wild rumors online.

His first reaction was to call Mu Yan.

She might trust him, but seeing such news couldn’t feel good.

"Hey, what’s up?" Her voice was quite cheerful.

Jiang Jingheng’s tightly furrowed brows relaxed slightly, and he asked, "Did you go online today?"

"You want to know if I saw the rumors about you and some girl?" Mu Yan got straight to the point, speaking with a hint of laughter.

Her straightforwardness made Jiang Jingheng completely relax his tense heart.

"Yes."

"Since you’re calling, just be honest. Who is she? Confess and you’ll be granted leniency; resist and face severity."

Jiang Jingheng couldn’t help but laugh at her fierce tone, "She’s the daughter of a family friend. I have nothing to do with her."

"Oh." She casually replied.

"However, it’s not entirely unrelated!"

This time, there was silence on the other end of the phone.

Jiang Jingheng glanced at his phone, seeing that the call was still connected, and quickly explained, "She’s my older brother’s fiancée."

"Oh." Her voice was indifferent.

A hint of amusement appeared in Jiang Jingheng’s light brown eyes, "Not mad anymore?"

"What good does it do to be mad? You’re not even home, am I supposed to scold you over the phone?"

"Then I’ll come home now." Jiang Jingheng said, standing up immediately.

Mu Yan heard the chair moving on his end and hurriedly said, "Don’t, I was joking with you."

"Why so nervous?" Jiang Jingheng sat back down, chuckling.

"Okay, I didn’t doubt you at all, I was just teasing you earlier."

"Then why am I not happy at all hearing this news?" Jiang Jingheng raised an eyebrow.

"What do you mean?"

"As usual, wouldn’t a wife seeing her husband with another woman misunderstand and get jealous? Why didn’t you?"

"Alright, I’m misunderstanding now, I’m jealous, I’m very angry, and I don’t want to talk to you anymore."

Jiang Jingheng could imagine her pouty face through the phone, his light brown eyes softening.

"Don’t be mad, I was joking too. I’ll come home tonight, you can deal with me as you please."

"Who wants to deal with you, isn’t it exhausting?" She said in an exasperated tone.

After a pause, she finally asked, "You picked her up yesterday because of your brother?"

"Mrs. Jiang is indeed smart." Jiang Jingheng sighed, "My brother was hospitalized yesterday, and it just so happened that she returned, so I went to the airport to pick her up."

"Is your brother going to be okay?" She asked with concern.

"He’s fine now."

"Okay."

With everything explained, Jiang Jingheng felt completely at ease. He hung up the phone, glanced at Lian Jun coming in, and said, "Raise your salary by three months."

Good fortune fell from the sky, leaving Lian Jun a bit dizzy.

He knew why the young master rewarded him.

He was also glad for his quick thinking, reminding the young master about the rumors.

Otherwise, with the young master’s cold nature, he probably wouldn’t even know about the headlines featuring him and Miss Liu.

If it weren’t for that, the Young Madam would definitely have misunderstood. 𝙛𝓻𝒆𝒆𝒘𝙚𝓫𝙣𝙤𝒗𝙚𝓵.𝙘𝙤𝙢

After the call with Jiang Jingheng, Mu Yan’s mood also improved a bit.

She was grateful that she trusted him, and even more grateful that he wasn’t that kind of person.

Suddenly, her gaze fell on the comments from netizens, and her mood became a bit gloomy.

If it were her standing by his side, appearing in public, how would people react?

A perfect match, a story for the ages?

No, they’d probably scold her for climbing the ladder through shady means or for clinging to a wealthy man.

This is the difference in status and position, as far apart as clouds and mud.
