A-List Actress: Paper Marriage but Pampering Billionaire

Chapter 881: Chapter 881: I Won’t Let Her Be Sad!

This meal ended quickly as everyone had their own preoccupations.

Usually, Ning Ze and Dong Le would insist on going out to have fun, but with Dong Le suddenly leaving and Ning Ze eager to get home, everyone just went their separate ways.

Zhuang Yi tagged along behind Jiang Jingheng and Mu Yan like a tail.

Lan Xi held Mu Yan’s hand as they walked ahead, and asked her, ”Is Brother Zhuang’s visit to Upper City related to Zhuang Chujiao?”

Mu Yan looked at her in surprise, ”You know?”

”Who doesn’t know? The story about Zhuang Chujiao stealing things is all over our social media.” Lan Xi snorted lightly, ”Of course, I also know she wasn’t stealing things; she was trying to steal a person.”

Mu Yan chuckled, indeed, good news doesn’t travel far, but bad news goes a thousand miles.

”Let me tell you, Zhuang Chujiao is like a cockroach, the kind that never dies. She suffered a loss this time, and I don’t think she’ll let it go; you should be careful.”

”Mm.” Mu Yan nodded and asked, ”How are things between you and Lu Hao recently?”

”Everything is great. The date for our engagement is set, November 20th. I’ve already given the invitation to Brother Jiang.” Lan Xi wore a broad smile, filled with joy.

Mu Yan thought for a moment, ”By then, I should have finished filming, I will definitely come.”

Thinking about Dong Le who had just left, she asked, ”What’s with Dong Le today?”

”Who knows what got into him.” Lan Xi was completely unconcerned.

Mu Yan seemed to understand something, and didn’t ask further.

At the parking lot, Lu Hao drove Lan Xi back, Jian Shaohan left with Zheng Lu Hua, leaving Zhuang Yi all by himself.

Zhuang Yi looked at Mu Yan and said helplessly, ”You don’t have to block me just because you’re angry at Uncle.”

”I don’t want to receive your calls or hear his voice.” Mu Yan said directly.

Zhuang Yi sighed, ”Uncle is just acting out of concern.”

”Does it have anything to do with me?” Mu Yan looked at him with a cynical smile, ”Or do you think I should forgive?”

Zhuang Yi was momentarily stunned and said, ”I know Jiaojiao is wrong, but Uncle is really torn, both are like flesh and blood to him.”

”So he dotes on Zhuang Chujiao, and I should be hurt? Knowing full well Zhuang Chujiao covets my man, he still chooses to be an accomplice. In his heart, I am probably not even worth a finger of Zhuang Chujiao. Since we don’t take each other seriously, then from now on, let’s not bind each other with so-called family blood.” Mu Yan said coldly.

Zhuang Yi’s expression changed slightly, ”What do you mean?”

”Since your Zhuang family already has a Zhuang Chujiao, you don’t need me.”

”Nuannuan, you can’t say that.” Zhuang Yi said anxiously, ”If Grandpa and Grandma hear what you said, they’ll be heartbroken.”

A trace of reluctance flashed in Mu Yan’s heart; she knew they truly liked her.

But no matter how bad Zhuang Chujiao was, she was still their granddaughter.

She admitted she was just angered by Zhuang Shaoyang’s family’s shamelessness.

She suddenly laughed, her tone a bit self-deprecating, ”Why do I have to be his daughter?”

She looked at Zhuang Yi, tears seemed to shimmer in her eyes, ”If only I were Big Uncle’s daughter, that would be better.”

Zhuang Yi sensed her vulnerability, feeling a pang of bitterness in his heart.

Actually, it wasn’t as she thought.

But... it’s fine if she doesn’t remember.

He said quietly, ”Come back to Beijing when you have time, Grandma really misses you.”

”We’ll see.” Mu Yan opened the car door and got in.

Zhuang Yi sighed, turning to Jiang Jingheng, his face darkening slightly, ”Why did you have to send Jiaojiao to the police station after driving her out?”

Otherwise, he wouldn’t have had to take leave to come over, and Uncle wouldn’t have hurt Nuannuan’s heart once more.

”Isn’t the Zhuang family in the wrong?” Jiang Jingheng said calmly, his light brown eyes cold and indifferent, ”Some things, do you think hiding them means they don’t exist?”

Zhuang Yi was taken aback, and said solemnly, ”But this way Nuannuan won’t be sad.”

”Better a quick pain than a long suffering.” Jiang Jingheng said coldly, ”And I won’t let her be sad.”

Zhuang Yi was momentarily stunned and gave him a suspicious glance; what was he trying to express?

Unfortunately, Jiang Jingheng didn’t explain, he simply got in the car and drove away.
