Chapter 1335: Owed a Beating!
Mu Yan and Luo Yao selected a ring and then chose a diamond necklace.She happened to see a necklace that suited Kong Lizhen and said, "Godmother, why don’t you try this necklace?"
Kong Lizhen glanced at the necklace and said, "There’s no need. I don’t lack jewelry, just pick something for yourself."
Mu Yan quickly said, "That won’t do. If I buy a necklace for myself, Jing Heng will definitely think I lack jewelry, and by tomorrow, our house will be full of new necklaces."
Seeing her nervous expression, Kong Lizhen chuckled, "Isn’t that good? Your husband dotes on you."
"It’s not a bad thing, but I can’t wear all of them. Wouldn’t it be a waste to buy so many?"
"How’s it a waste? In the future, you can pass them on to your daughter-in-law." Kong Lizhen teased.
Mu Yan gave her a playful glance, "Godmother, I don’t even know where my son is, let alone a daughter-in-law."
"That’s easy, just have a few children." Kong Lizhen laughed.
Mu Yan, "..."
Having children isn’t that simple.
And lately, she’s been in the hospital, without a chance to be with someone.
"No way, Godmother, you must try it on." Mu Yan insisted, moving to put the necklace on Kong Lizhen.
Kong Lizhen instinctively raised her hand to refuse and accidentally tugged at the scarf around her neck, revealing a patch of burned skin.
Mu Yan’s eyelid twitched, and she pulled back her hand, saying, "Godmother, I’m sorry, I..."
"It’s okay." Kong Lizhen smiled at her, then adjusted the scarf to cover the burn scar.
Mu Yan felt she had unintentionally hit on Kong Lizhen’s sore spot and was now very cautious, afraid to upset her, and wouldn’t presume to ask her to try on the necklace.
"Godmother, we’ve bought everything. Let’s go." She said.
"Okay." Kong Lizhen nodded, seeing her apprehensive look, feeling a bit sorry, and said, "It’s nothing, don’t worry, just some old scars."
"Godmother, I’m sorry for earlier." Mu Yan apologized directly since she brought it up.
"Silly child, why are you being so formal with me?" Kong Lizhen laughed, "I don’t mind these things; I just don’t want to trouble myself."
"Hmm." Mu Yan nodded, understanding her meaning.
"Alright, I’m hungry. Let’s go eat."
"Hmm, I know a good place nearby." Mu Yan smiled.
"Okay."
After eating, Mu Yan and Kong Lizhen returned to the hospital.
As soon as she got out of the car, Mu Yan saw Liu Shiyuan approaching with bruises all over his face, some places even covered with band-aids and gauze, looking seriously injured.
Liu Shiyuan glanced at her, a hint of malice in his eyes, but he didn’t cause trouble and got into a car to leave.
"Who was that? He was glaring at you just now." Kong Lizhen asked.
Mu Yan calmly said, "My sister-in-law’s brother, not a good person."
"Hmm, then stay away from him." Kong Lizhen nodded.
The two walked towards the main entrance; after a few steps, Mu Yan suddenly turned around and looked in the direction the car had left.
Why did he look at her like that just now? Could his facial injuries have something to do with her?
The thought brought forth a possibility.
Did Jiang Jingheng have him beaten up because he found out about Liu Shiyuan blocking her the other day?
It made sense; although the bodyguards protected her, they took their orders from Jiang Jingheng and would naturally report everything to him.
But she felt Liu Shiyuan was the kind of person who deserved a beating. She had no sympathy for him at all.
