A-List Actress: Paper Marriage but Pampering Billionaire
Chapter 1076: Exposed!
Not afraid of sleeping pills? Does she mean she really didn’t sleep last night?
Zhuang Chujiao looked at her with a face full of suspicion, "No, impossible."
Zhuang Shaoyang was initially worried his daughter would be caught, but hearing her say this, half of his worry eased. Yet, the more he pondered, the more he felt guilty and pained.
"What’s impossible about it? Since I was eight years old, due to health reasons, I’ve always had trouble sleeping. This symptom lasted for many years. Basically, I relied on sleeping pills to fall asleep. Eventually, even sleeping pills couldn’t change my insomnia." Mu Yan laughed lightly, "Otherwise, why do you think I drank your tea last night?"
At that time, she thought Zhuang Chujiao was being overly friendly for no reason, clearly having ulterior motives. But thinking she wouldn’t dare poison the tea, at most add some laxatives or sleeping pills, she drank it.
Zhuang Chujiao still couldn’t believe it, "You knew all along?"
"I didn’t know!" Mu Yan shook her head, "But you acted too strangely yesterday. Although we appeared to have reconciled, you hated me. Plus, Guan Chao came to the house yesterday, and my intuition said something was wrong."
Hearing this, the whole family understood. Zhuang Chujiao had been scheming, while Mu Yan had turned the tables.
Zhuang Chujiao couldn’t accept it. Was everything last night all within Mu Yan’s calculations? Was it really not Brother Jingheng with her last night?
"No, you’re lying. It was Brother Jingheng and me last night."
Mu Yan sneered, "Still dreaming? Since I detected your scheme, would I let you take my man? No, to be precise, are you underestimating my man? If I could sense something, wouldn’t he?" 𝘧𝓇ℯ𝑒𝓌𝑒𝑏𝓃𝘰𝘷𝘦𝘭.𝒸ℴ𝓂
Zhuang Chujiao looked flabbergasted, turning her head towards Jiang Jingheng, "Brother Jingheng..."
She couldn’t believe it, refused to believe it till death.
Jiang Jingheng’s light brown eyes seemed to be coated in ice, displaying undisguised disgust on his face, "In my whole life, no one has dared to plot against me."
Zhuang Chujiao shivered uncontrollably, wanting to explain, "I..."
Jiang Jingheng shifted his gaze to the elders of the Zhuang Family, "Guan Chao is a smart person, or let’s say two broken arms are enough to make him behave!"
Although everyone in the Zhuang Family had long suspected that the incident when Guan Chao suddenly broke his arms was Jiang Jingheng’s doing, there was some doubt, after all, he was just an illegitimate child with a precarious position in the Jiang Family; how could he dare go against the Imperial Capital Guan Family? But it turned out to be true.
Zhuang Shaoyang looked at his son-in-law with some relief; it seemed Nuannuan didn’t marry the wrong person!
"Impossible, I don’t believe it. How could Guan Chao dare deceive me like this!" Zhuang Chujiao yelled in anger.
"I already told you, he’s smart, and you’re utterly foolish!" Mu Yan mocked ruthlessly.
Zhuang Chujiao seemed to have fallen into a trance at this point, "Impossible, if what you said is true, then who was in my room last night? I can tell the difference between dreams and reality."
She looked at Jiang Jingheng, her face full of sorrow, wondering why he just refused to admit it.
Mu Yan chuckled, "If the person in your room last night wasn’t Jingheng, then who do you think it was?"
Zhuang Chujiao suddenly realized, almost gnashing her teeth, "Guan Chao!"
At this moment, scenes from last night flashed through her mind. Now she understood why the man’s physique felt so familiar and was so knowledgeable about her body. It wasn’t because she and Brother Jingheng were extraordinarily in sync but because...
But she still couldn’t believe it, angrily saying, "If Brother Jingheng wasn’t out all night, why did you want a divorce with him this morning?"
