A-List Actress: Paper Marriage but Pampering Billionaire

Chapter 1299: Chapter 1299: Are You Still Willing to Be with Me?

After Zhuang Chujiao finished her shower and changed her clothes, she came out and couldn’t see any trace of Jiang Yutai.

She waited for quite a while and still didn’t see him come out. After asking the waiter outside, she found out he had already left.

Her brows knit slightly, deeply displeased. He just dumped her here alone and left without a word—what was that supposed to mean?

She immediately took out her phone and dialed Jiang Yutai’s number.

Very quickly, the call was picked up on the other end, but Jiang Yutai’s voice sounded a bit anxious.

”Jiaojiao, something urgent came up and I have to go back to the Jiang Family. You be good and wait for me at the hotel. If you’re hungry, go ahead and eat first.”

Before Zhuang Chujiao could say anything, he had already hung up.

Zhuang Chujiao looked at the phone and let out a soft sneer. Who needed his company anyway? With him gone, she actually felt more at ease.

At the Jiang Family, after Jiang Yutai returned home, he went to look for Old Sir Jiang first and denied that he was the one who had people spread the rumors that Jiang Jingheng was an illegitimate child and Mu Yan’s mother was a homewrecker, but unfortunately the old man didn’t believe him at all and even directly had people bring out the evidence.

Earlier, when Jiang Jingheng left, he had already delivered the evidence into the old man’s hands, confirming that it wasn’t slander against Jiang Yutai.

Jiang Yutai had no way to refute it, and according to what Qiu Shuyun and Jiang Zhengfeng said, he apologized to the old man, but Old Sir Jiang had already made up his mind and directly had people throw him out.

Qiu Shuyun cried and made a scene nonstop, and the old man directly declared that if she kept it up, she could get out of the Jiang Family together with her son.

Rage surged in Jiang Yutai’s chest. He was convinced the old man was biased toward Jiang Jingheng, and left in a fit of anger.

At the hotel, Zhuang Chujiao had just come back not long after finishing dinner when she heard the doorbell ring.

She opened the door and saw that it was Jiang Yutai, and was a bit surprised.

”Brother Yutai, how did you get back so fast?”

Jiang Yutai looked at Zhuang Chujiao with a face full of sorrow and misery. ”Jiaojiao, I’ve been kicked out of my family.”

”Huh?” Zhuang Chujiao didn’t react right away.

He stepped forward and pulled her tightly into his arms. ”Jiaojiao, I’ve lost everything. I only have you now.”

Zhuang Chujiao frowned hard. What was going on?

”Brother Yutai, what happened? Tell me slowly.”

Jiang Yutai went inside, sat down on the sofa, and looked utterly dejected. ”That matter got exposed. Grandfather kicked me out of the house for Jiang Jingheng’s sake.”

Zhuang Chujiao’s face was full of shock. ”How could that be?”

”I underestimated that bastard!” Jiang Yutai said through gritted teeth. ”I never thought those useless fools would sell me out so fast.”

”Brother Yutai, what do we do now?”

”What else can we do? From now on, I’m no longer the Jiang Family’s second young master.” Jiang Yutai said with self-mockery. He looked at Zhuang Chujiao. ”Jiaojiao, are you still willing to be with me?”

Zhuang Chujiao’s heart gave a jolt. Of course she was unwilling, but right now Jiang Yutai’s mood was off, and she couldn’t be sure he wouldn’t manage a comeback later, so naturally she wouldn’t cut things off completely.

She deliberately put on a displeased expression and said, ”Brother Yutai, what do you take me for? Besides, you only went after Jiang Jingheng and Zhuang Xiangnuan because of me. I’m the one who dragged you down.”

Seeing how guilty she looked, that trace of unease in Jiang Yutai’s heart dissipated.

He looked at Zhuang Chujiao and said, ”Jiaojiao, come here.”

Zhuang Chujiao did as he said, walked over to his side, and was immediately pulled into his arms.

”Jiaojiao, I really didn’t love the wrong person. Don’t worry, I won’t let you suffer with me.” Jiang Yutai said emotionally.

”Brother Yutai, you’re so good to me.” Zhuang Chujiao said in a coquettish tone, though she felt a bit uneasy inside.

The next second, she heard Jiang Yutai say, ”That cousin of yours is no good either. From what I see, the one he cares about most is Mu Yan.”

Zhuang Chujiao’s heart gave another jolt. ”What do you mean?”

”He went to the Jiang Family today and caused a scene, saying he wanted to demand justice for that cousin of yours. Otherwise, why would Grandfather have kicked me out?” Jiang Yutai said with a face full of venomous resentment.
