A-List Actress: Paper Marriage but Pampering Billionaire

Chapter 1213: Chapter 1213: Killing With a Borrowed Knife!

Guilt? The word that Zhuang Shaoyang fears the most in this life.

For half of his life, he’s been imprisoned by this word, even regarded as a heartless man by others, yet he doesn’t care.

Because, it’s a debt he owes.

He’s always felt guilty to that person, so he must be good to his wife and daughter, and in the end, even lost his wife and daughter.

He had been blinded by lies, not regretting for over twenty years, only to realize in the end that he was an utter fool.

”I raised her to adulthood and gave her the ability to survive on her own? I feel no guilt towards her, and of course, I do not expect her to be filial to me. I said long ago, she should acknowledge her roots.” Zhuang Shaoyang said indifferently, ”As for Chu Xing, I owe him a life, if it can’t be repaid in this life, then in the next.”

”Zhuang Shaoyang, you’re too selfish, just saying you’ll repay in the next life? Jiaojiao lost her father because of it.”

Hearing this, Zhuang Shaoyang sneered, ”If I didn’t know your character, I might have thought you were deeply in love with Chu Xing? I suppose if it weren’t for me, you would have aborted Jiaojiao back then. You used Chu Xing’s posthumous child to bind me, to make me feel guilty towards you and your daughter, thus ruining my family.”

”Shao Yang, it’s not like that.”

”Don’t talk to me in that tone. I prefer to hear you scream hysterically, it’s vicious, but at least it’s real. After all, you, Liang Rong, are such an utterly wicked woman, just hearing your voice is sickening.” Zhuang Shaoyang said coldly.

”Zhuang Shaoyang, how can you say that about me, why is it Zhuang Ning and not me? What makes me inferior to her?” Liang Rong shouted.

Zhuang Shaoyang said in disgust, ”Because in every way you are inferior to her, it’s also my fault for catching the eye of a woman like you.”

When someone hates another person, they can say all sorts of vicious words.

On the other end of the phone, Liang Rong was sobbing, but Zhuang Shaoyang didn’t want to hear it. Just as he hung up, he heard her say, ”I’m vicious, and that daughter of yours is no good either, she’s the one who harmed Jiaojiao...”

Looking at his phone, Zhuang Shaoyang felt worse than ever, torn between disgust and regret.

After a long time, he recalled Liang Rong’s last words, Nuannuan harmed Jiaojiao?

He didn’t believe her words, but he could guess that the photos were released by Jiaojiao, and Nuannuan and the others would surely find out too.

Though he despised Liang Rong, he sincerely hoped Jiaojiao would turn towards kindness, but she wouldn’t listen. It was partly his fault; he had failed Chu Xing’s trust by not properly guiding the child, letting her take after Liang Rong’s nature.

This matter, he certainly didn’t dare to ask Mu Yan, so he simply called Jiang Jingheng.

Conversations between men are often straightforward, ”Jing Heng, did you have someone take indecent photos of Jiaojiao?”

The man on the other end of the line spoke in a low voice, remarkably clear in the quiet office, ”Indecent photos? No.”

”But Liang Rong just called me saying someone sent indecent photos of Jiaojiao to her.”

”Is that so?”

Zhuang Shaoyang frowned, instinctively feeling that this matter was not unrelated to him. Although they hadn’t interacted much, he knew this son-in-law was ruthless. Knowing Jiaojiao harmed Nuannuan, how could he possibly sit by and watch!

After all, last time Jiaojiao’s leg was genuinely broken.

”Are you sure you’re not lying to me?”

The man’s tone was casual, ”It wasn’t me.” After a moment of silence, he added, ”But I did tell Long Xiao that it was Zhuang Chujiao who put the photos online.”
