A-List Actress: Paper Marriage but Pampering Billionaire

Chapter 1216: Chapter 1216: Love Is a Luxury

Zhuang Chujiao never expected that the matter of the photos would be discovered by Liang Rong so quickly. She felt both ashamed and angry, and was extremely furious with those people from yesterday.

”Mom, I was set up.”

”With your brains, it’s no wonder you got set up.” Liang Rong’s tone was full of disdain, without a hint of empathy.

Zhuang Chujiao gritted her teeth and said, ”Yes, I’m stupid, but what do you want me to do now? Someone put the photos at my room door today. Do you really wish for your daughter’s indecent photos to be circulated?”

”I’ve talked to your dad about this. Your dad already knows it was you who put Zhuang Ning’s indecent photos online, and he’s very angry with you. You need to calm him down now.”

”What?” Zhuang Chujiao was a bit flustered, ”How did Dad find out?”

”There’s no wall in the world that doesn’t let wind through. Who do you think set you up this time?”

Zhuang Chujiao pondered for a moment, suddenly understood, and said hatefully, ”Are you saying it’s that little bitch Zhuang Xiangnuan?”

”It’s naturally related to her. You should hurry back and apologize to your dad, he will forgive you.”

Zhuang Chujiao gritted her teeth, ”Mom, I’m scared.”

Last time she schemed to get into Jiang Jingheng’s bed and was slapped hard by Dad. Since then, he has ignored her. If he knows it was her who posted his ex-wife’s indecent photos online, he definitely won’t forgive her.

”Now you’re scared? If you don’t appease your dad, do you think anyone can help you deal with those photos? Weigh your options carefully.”

Zhuang Chujiao naturally knew Liang Rong spoke the truth. Right now, she can’t stay in Upper City for long. She can only return to Beijing, or else go abroad, but her documents for going abroad are at home, so she must return once no matter what.

”I understand.”

As soon as she finished speaking, Liang Rong hung up.

Staring at her phone, grief welled up from her heart; from beginning to end Mom never cared if she was wronged.

She’s always like this, only caring about Dad and never bothering about her.

She couldn’t understand why, pondering over it for more than twenty years without any clarity.

”Ah!” Suddenly, she let out a loud shout, venting her inner distress.

Ever since the incident where Mu Yan slapped him fiercely, Lin Jiamu vanished from public view. No matter how harsh the scolding was under his Weibo, or how much fans sympathized with him, he never spoke up for himself.

However, just this morning, he posted several Weibo messages.

Lin Jiamu V: Before entering the entertainment industry, I was indeed a delinquent youth, arrogant and reckless, thinking that was what youth and life meant, and did many wrong things. I am truly sorry for setting a bad example for the public.

Many years ago, I didn’t understand my purpose in this world, living passively, in a drunken stupor. But I never imagined awakening from my dreams would come at the cost of a life.

I can never forget that face crying sorrowfully amid the flames, sadness, despair—all caused by me!

I never felt my existence on earth was excessive; I harmed a person, ruined a family, and shattered her dreams.

At that moment, I resolved to provide her a stable life within my lifetime, to make up for the wrongs I inflicted upon her, even if it takes a lifetime.

Many ask why I joined the entertainment industry, and I reply that it’s because of a dream. Yes, my dream is for her to be happy.

To me, she is a sister, I am a brother; she is a creditor, I am the debtor. This lifetime I am burdened with debts, and love became a luxury long ago. How dare a despicable person like me hope to have her love?

Now it’s merely that the lies were exposed, revealing my true self before her.
