A-List Actress: Paper Marriage but Pampering Billionaire

Chapter 1199: Resolution

Break up?Jiang Zhenghong stared at Yin Manqing in disbelief, instinctively thinking he’d misheard.

The others were just as shocked. Was Yin Manqing reading from the wrong script or what?

Especially those like Jiang Zhengting who knew her well. Back when she brought her child into the Jiang Family, they’d made things hard for her, nitpicked her, and she’d swallowed it all. Now her son was outstanding, she herself had a successful career, and her status in the Jiang Family kept rising. You could tell just from the way they’d started respectfully calling her "sister-in-law."

She’d clearly endured humiliation and hardship to finally get to the top of her life, so why was she suddenly willing to throw it all away?

Jiang Zhengfang was very annoyed at Yin Manqing calling her overbearing and domineering, and she took the chance to add fuel to the fire. "What, you trying to threaten my big brother? Force him to press me down and make me bow my head and apologize to you? That’s about all you’re capable of."

Jiang Zhenghong shot his sister a look and snapped, "Shut up. You’re the one in the wrong here, and you still refuse to repent? Apologize to your sister-in-law."

Jiang Zhengfang sneered. "Why should I apologize? Besides, since when is she my sister-in-law? The only person I recognize as my sister-in-law is Wen Hao’s mom."

Jiang Zhenghong said irritably, "Fine, then don’t recognize me as your big brother either."

At that, Jiang Zhengfang was furious. "Big brother, you’re really going to throw your own younger sister away for this woman?"

"Enough, Fangfang, big brother, don’t fight, we’re all one family." Jiang Zhengting tried to mediate. She looked at Yin Manqing, her expression a bit impatient. "Sister-in-law, can’t you talk things out properly? Do you have to turn this house upside down?"

"I wouldn’t dare accept you calling me sister-in-law. And besides, I’m not the one stirring things up. It’s just that you’re all one family, and I’m just an outsider. No matter what happens, you all naturally assume it’s my fault." Yin Manqing looked at her, the corner of her mouth lifting slightly, her delicate peach-blossom eyes tilted up as she mocked, "I must have brain damage to have lived all these years with a few brainless shrews who fancy themselves rich heiresses."

Jiang Zhengting choked with anger. "You..."

She’d meant to smooth things over, blow up the big problem into a small one and then make it disappear. Who would’ve thought Yin Manqing would be so stubborn and even mock her?

She was done with this.

Off to the side, Qiu Shuyun said in a sarcastic tone, "Little sister, stop playing peacemaker. Don’t go spoiling certain people."

Hearing that, Jiang Zhengting’s expression grew even uglier.

Mu Yan felt that, at this moment, Yin Manqing was like a lone warrior fighting a hopeless battle. Even if her strength was weak, she still marched forward without fear.

To be honest, she really admired the current her.

Seeing that Jiang Zhenghong wasn’t restraining Yin Manqing, Jiang Zhengfang immediately turned to the old man. "Dad, aren’t you going to do something about her? Look how arrogant she is, she doesn’t put our Jiang Family in her eyes at all."

Jiang Zhenghong knew the old man had never been satisfied with Yin Manqing. He tugged her sleeve and lowered his voice. "Whatever it is, we can talk in our room. Don’t make Dad angry."

But Yin Manqing shook off his hand and said coldly, "There’s nothing for me to say to you. Besides, it’s not like your dad has only just started disliking me. The worst result of him getting mad is kicking me out. Rather than being thrown out, I’d rather walk away with some dignity myself."

As she spoke, ignoring Jiang Zhenghong’s darkened face, she looked at the old man and said, "Thank you for taking care of me all these years and giving me a place to stay. If anything I just said offended you, I hope you’ll forgive me."

In that moment, everyone held their breath, waiting for the old man to speak. Jiang Zhengfang and the others, however, were rejoicing inside; they’d long wanted to get rid of Yin Manqing.

Why should a homewrecker get an important position in the company while they, the noble daughters, were kept out?

The old man’s sharp gaze landed on Yin Manqing’s face. After a long moment, he asked, "You’ve thought it through?"
