Watching Zhuang Shaoyang and Long Xiao poised for confrontation, ready to explode, the Zhuang Family was even more confused.

But Liang Rong had already understood who Long Xiao was from Zhuang Shaoyang’s reaction. Looking at the seated Zhang Jin, a strong sense of unease suddenly arose in her heart.

"Mom, who is this?" Zhuang Chujiao leaned over to her and whispered.

The atmosphere today was too strange; she felt that little bitch Zhuang Xiangnuan had come prepared.

Liang Rong had no time to pay attention to her at the moment; her mind was filled with memories of the past, pondering whether she had left any evidence behind.

Her gaze fell on the paper on the floor, just torn to pieces by Zhuang Chujiao, and she felt a bit of relief.

Facing the inquisitive looks of the Zhuang Family, Long Xiao said, "Seventeen years ago, Miss Zhuang Ning was caught in bed with someone. The photos were exposed, shocking the entire Beijing upper circle, and I am the man in those photos!"

The Zhuang family looked at him in disbelief, and Mrs. Zhuang was even more furious, "It’s you, you damned man, how dare you come to our Zhuang Family!"

Anger surged at that moment, causing the old lady chest pain; she clutched her heart, looking very uncomfortable.

"Mom, don’t get upset." Ruan Xinyu hurriedly helped her to calm down.

The old lady shook her head, tears streaming down, if it weren’t for that incident, Ah Ning wouldn’t have left home, and the Zhuang Family wouldn’t be ridiculed.

Zhuang Shaoyang felt more embarrassed; he couldn’t understand why Ah Ning would fancy this man who couldn’t compare to him in any way, or perhaps it was true as some said, marriage brings a seven-year itch.

Zhuang Chujiao seized the opportunity to mock, "Zhuang Xiangnuan, what do you mean? Bringing your mom’s affair partner, is it to prove dad’s been cuckolded?"

"Isn’t your birth proof enough of my mom being cuckolded?" Mu Yan retorted.

"What nonsense are you talking!" Zhuang Chujiao said angrily, "Your mom clearly tore apart my parents; she’s the mistress!" 𝐟𝕣𝕖𝐞𝐰𝕖𝚋𝐧𝗼𝚟𝐞𝕝.𝗰𝐨𝐦

"Jiaojiao, shut up!" Liang Rong pulled Zhuang Chujiao aside, knowing it’s better not to anger Shaoyang at this moment.

"I’m stating the facts." Zhuang Chujiao insisted, always being labeled as the mistress’s daughter, she felt extremely frustrated.

Mu Yan couldn’t be bothered with her, and looked at the Zhuang Family, saying, "Since I mentioned there’s evidence to prove my mom’s innocence, I ask you to temporarily put away your attitude of shame towards her."

Mrs. Zhuang’s expression paused, seeing the coldness in Mu Yan’s eyes, realizing she had just upset her granddaughter with preconceived notions.

She sniffed, "Grandma didn’t mean that, let him continue."

Mu Yan looked at Long Xiao, and Long Xiao continued, "Before the photo was taken, I didn’t know Miss Zhuang Ning, and naturally, there was no private affair. Or let’s say it was a trap, a trap we set for her."

Zhuang Shaoyang’s expression changed slightly, looking at him in surprise and doubt, "Explain clearly."

Long Xiao looked at him, "The origins of the matter are simple; someone approached the boss asking him to deal with Zhuang Ning, then the boss gave me a photo, telling me to assault the woman in the photo and then take a photo of me with her in bed. Upon success, the reward was two hundred thousand."

The Zhuang Family looked at him in disbelief, but compared to the character of the person in front of them, they were more inclined to believe the proud and aloof Zhuang Ning.

However, how could anyone be so brazen and malicious as to do such a thing?

Zhuang Shaoyang’s feelings were extremely complicated at this moment. He had once used various reasons to convince himself, but faced with those photos, all belief was shattered.

He closed his eyes, saying, "But in the photos, you two were lying on the hotel bed, and Ah Ning didn’t resist."

Long Xiao sneered at him, "She was drugged, of course she couldn’t resist."
