Chapter 6 - Chapter 6 Why Me?

Mu Yan felt like her whole world was collapsing.

Upper City was not lacking in wealthy families, and the Jiang Family was the cream of the crop.

The heir to the Jiang Family of this generation is called Jiang Jingheng, known as Young Master Jiang!

She knew of him because some media reported that he was dabbling in the entertainment industry.

So, did she accidentally sleep with the top young master of Upper City?

Or is this guy just bluffing her?

As if he knew what Mu Yan was thinking, Jiang Jingheng's lips curled slightly, "Do you want me to show you my ID?"

Mu Yan chuckled and shook her head, "No need..."

These days, even IDs can be fake.

However, when she retrieved her ID earlier, she noticed the watch on the table.

A Patek Philippe, obviously worth a fortune at first glance.

"In that case, let's discuss marriage," Jiang Jingheng said calmly.

"I refuse!" Mu Yan coldly rejected.

"Seems like I'll have to call the police then." Jiang Jingheng picked up his phone, pretending to dial 110.

Mu Yan panicked, "Don't!"

"So you agree?" Jiang Jingheng put down the phone, looking at her with interest.

Mu Yan gritted her teeth. She definitely didn't want to agree, but the leverage was in his hands...

This man had power and influence, and if he really reported her, she would surely go to jail.

If she ended up in jail, what would happen to her brother...

"Rest assured, I won't let you suffer a loss," Jiang Jingheng suddenly said.

Mu Yan looked up, angrily at him.

Are all high society people so despicable and shameless?

Ignoring her disdain, Jiang Jingheng continued, "To show my sincerity and respect for you, I think we should get dressed first before we talk, though if you don't mind, I'm okay with that too."

Mu Yan only then realized she was naked under the covers, and Jiang Jingheng was only in his underwear.

She quickly grabbed her clothes from the floor and rushed to the bathroom.

Watching her flustered, Jiang Jingheng's handsome face lit up with a deeper smile, how interesting.

In the bathroom, Mu Yan looked at the marks on her body in the mirror, feeling utterly vexed.

Why did the thing that shouldn't have happened still happen?

She managed to escape Director Zhu's clutches, only to fall into another abyss.

And the root cause of all this was Zhou Lifen; if it wasn't for her drugging her, how could she have slept with someone and got recorded.

At this moment, she truly despised Zhou Lifen to the core.

But the urgent matter now was to deal with Jiang Jingheng.

And she was very clear that this person wasn't easy to deal with.

Before long, Mu Yan had finished freshening up, and when she emerged, Jiang Jingheng had also dressed, facing the balcony while making a phone call.

He was speaking a foreign language, but it wasn't English, so Mu Yan couldn't understand.

She looked at the man's silhouette, so different from his lazy demeanor in bed.

In a shirt and trousers, he carried the aristocratic aura of the Jiang Family in every gesture.

When he finished his call, Mu Yan called out, "Young Master Jiang!"

Jiang Jingheng turned around, looking at Mu Yan, and it seemed that in that brief shower and change of clothes, something had changed about her.

To be precise, she had retracted her claws.

Was she planning to leverage feelings to change his mind?

"As far as I know, you have a brother in the hospital, requiring a lot of medical expenses. As long as you marry me, I'll find the best doctors to treat your brother."

Mu Yan hadn't expected Jiang Jingheng to get straight to the point, even striking at her most vulnerable spot.

How did he know this? She was momentarily taken aback.

Jiang Jingheng continued, "Not only that, whatever difficulties you have, I can help you. But likewise, I hope you will marry me and help me fend off the chatter from my family."

Was he negotiating with her?

Mu Yan was silent for a moment and asked, "Why me?"
