A-List Actress: Paper Marriage but Pampering Billionaire-Chapter 858: Favoritism!

Thirty strikes came down, not only was it unbearable for Jiang Yutai, even Jiang Zhengfeng, who was hitting him, was drenched in sweat, so exhausted that he couldn’t straighten his back.

Each strike landed not only on Jiang Yutai but also on the hearts of everyone present.

Over the years, aside from Jiang Jingheng, Jiang Yutai was the first to be subjected to family discipline, but he wouldn’t be the last.

Those who used to look down on Jiang Jingheng, or even bullied him, should be more alert—maybe they’re next.

Mu Yan’s gaze swept over the others present. Seeing their eyes filled with reluctance and discontent towards her, what did it matter? When she decided to stand up for Jiang Jingheng, backed by the Zhuang Family, their thoughts were never her concern.

Whether they hated her or liked her, it had nothing to do with her.

Qiu Shuyun steadied her son, her voice trembling, "Yutai, my son, wake up, don’t scare your mom."

After enduring these thirty strikes, Jiang Yutai was almost faint from the pain. His chest felt horribly tight, his throat filled with a metallic taste, and he lay motionless on the ground.

Seeing her son unresponsive, Qiu Shuyun was panic-stricken, feeling even more resentful towards Mu Yan.

She turned her head, glaring at her, "Are you satisfied now?"

Mu Yan had no intention of avoiding her gaze and said calmly, "I didn’t set the family rules, nor did I break them, and I wasn’t the one who did the hitting. With you resenting me this much, it seems you refuse to accept it."

Of course, she refused to accept it! Qiu Shuyun wished she could tear Mu Yan to pieces; it was all because of this witch. If it weren’t for her threats, today’s events surely would have ended like before without incident.

Jiang Zhengfeng said coldly, "Yutai insulted his cousin-in-law, violating family rules, there’s nothing to refuse to accept."

He looked at Qiu Shuyun, his eyes full of impatience, "Hurry up and take Yutai back to his room, call a doctor."

Seeing her husband speak like this, Shuyun, despite her anger, didn’t dare say anything more and immediately called someone to help take Jiang Yutai back to his room.

Mu Yan looked at Jiang Zhengfeng, nodding, "At least Second Uncle understands reason."

Jiang Zhengfeng choked a bit, his face turned grim, and he said nothing.

"Your temperament is really similar to your grandfather’s." Suddenly, Old Sir Jiang spoke.

Hearing this, Mu Yan glanced at him, her eyes carrying a look of inquiry.

Old Sir Jiang didn’t even look at her and said, "Alright, serve the meal."

"I’ll go check on Yutai." Jiang Zhengfeng said, then followed Qiu Shuyun and the others to send Jiang Yutai back to his room.

Once the second branch of the family left, the living room suddenly fell silent.

Jiang Zhengting and the others seemed somewhat displeased, but with Old Sir Jiang present, no one dared to say anything.

The meal was tasteless for everyone. When had a member of the Jiang Family ever suffered a loss at the hands of an outsider, even if that outsider was a Jiang family daughter-in-law?

After the meal, Old Sir Jiang returned to his room.

No one from the second branch came downstairs, so the servants directly brought their meals upstairs.

Mu Yan and Jiang Jingheng also prepared to leave and return to the villa.

Jiang Zhengting suddenly said, "Nuannuan, surely Yutai was in the wrong today, but don’t you think you went too far?"

Mu Yan looked at her, her expression unreadable.

Jiang Zhengfang chimed in, "Indeed, you are his cousin-in-law; using power to take revenge on your cousin isn’t something good to spread around."

Mu Yan watched her two aunts go back and forth, suddenly laughed, "In the past when Jing Heng was beaten, were you two aunts just as partial to him?"
