A-List Actress: Paper Marriage but Pampering Billionaire

Chapter 279: Chapter 279: Sleepless with a Lonely Pillow!

Not long after returning to the hospital, Mu Yan received a call from Lin Jiamu, asking her about the result of her conversation with the doctor.

Mu Yan vaguely brushed it off.

That afternoon, Song Cheng’an came to pick her up to go to the filming location.

By the time she arrived at the hotel, it was already ten o’clock at night.

After putting down her luggage, Mu Yan first called Jiang Jingheng back.

Unexpectedly, as soon as the call ended, when she was about to call again, he sent a video call over.

Mu Yan immediately answered, only to see a flash of bare white skin before her eyes.

She frowned and said, ”Why aren’t you wearing clothes?”

”What clothes do I need to wear in my own room? Besides, it’s not like you haven’t seen it before.” In the video, Jiang Jingheng was bare-chested, leaning against the headboard.

Even though his hair was a bit messy, it did nothing to diminish his handsomeness, and instead added a sense of lazy charm.

Mu Yan glared at him and asked, ”Why aren’t you sleeping at this late hour?”

Jiang Jingheng sighed, ”It’s hard to sleep alone without Mrs. Jiang.”

Mu Yan really wanted to scoff at him; back when they didn’t sleep together, he managed to fall asleep just fine.

However, remembering that he was alone at home, her heart softened instantly, ”This role doesn’t have many scenes, I’ll be back in a few days.”

”Mm, I’ll wait for you to come back.”

Mu Yan wanted to tell him that she had prepared a gift for him.

But for a first-time gift, it must be a surprise.

After chatting for a while, they ended the video call.

With filming scheduled for the next day, Mu Yan went to sleep early.

The next day, she went to the set accompanied by Song Cheng’an.

Wang Linjia, dressed in costume, walked over and greeted her, ”Mu Yan, you’re here.”

”Sister Lin Jia.” Mu Yan called out.

”Go see the director first, we’ll have a good chat later when you have time.” Wang Linjia smiled.

”Mm.”

Accompanied by Song Cheng’an, Mu Yan met the director, changed into her costume, and got everything ready.

They shot two scenes in the morning, and the director was quite satisfied.

This director was the same person who acknowledged her during the audition.

Despite Zhou Lifen causing trouble, things went around and she still came to do this drama.

During lunch, Wang Linjia asked, ”I saw the news online, are you alright?”

”Of course, I’m fine. You could say it’s a blessing in disguise. Years of grievances have finally been cleared.” Mu Yan smiled.

Wang Linjia nodded, ”That’s true, but the school shouldn’t get away with it either.”

”I know, I’m waiting for the school’s statement.” Mu Yan nodded.

That morning, Huamei’s official Weibo posted a message.

The school first canceled Li Shangjia’s enrollment, and then stated that they would thoroughly investigate the matter, giving both Mu Yan and society an explanation.

Wang Linjia asked, ”Have you ever thought if you offended any teachers at your school?”

Mu Yan shook her head, ”I don’t know. As far as I remember, the teachers were all pretty nice. But maybe I didn’t notice. At that time, I was so focused on painting and didn’t have a great relationship with my classmates. The only ones I was close to were my roommates.”

She fell silent at this point.

What she thought was closeness wasn’t really so.

”I never pegged you as so isolated back in school.” Wang Linjia lightly laughed.

Mu Yan smiled a bit, ”Maybe a little.”

It was later when she met Lin Jiamu and Qin Xi that she realized having friends felt great!

A few days later, news broke out online again, revealing that it was Zhou Lifen who arranged for someone to leak that Mu Yan had plagiarized. Li Shangjia was just a pawn in her hands.

The incident where Zhou Lifen caused Mu Yan’s brother’s heart attack was still fresh in everyone’s memory, which ruined Zhou Lifen’s reputation.

So her revenge against Mu Yan was entirely understandable.

For a time, netizens verbally lashed Zhou Lifen, cursing her entire ancestry.
