A-List Actress: Paper Marriage but Pampering Billionaire-Chapter 938: Threat!
A few days ago, when Zhuang Chujiao heard that Mu Yan was safe and sound and that Jiang Jingheng was investigating the mastermind, she panicked, afraid that the matter would be exposed, and Guan Chao would expose her, so she hurried to hide at a friend’s house.
But for several days in a row, there was no call from the Zhuang Family looking for her, and she breathed a sigh of relief.
Unexpectedly, you might escape early on, but you can’t avoid the consequences eventually.
However, she was definitely not going to admit it.
She glanced at her best friend beside her, walked to the window, and answered the phone, "Mom, what nonsense are you talking about? When did I ever have Guan Chao do such a thing? I’m not crazy."
"I think you’re crazy. Others don’t know you, but I’m your mom. How could I not know? Besides, do you think anyone could just hire Guan Chao?" Liang Rong completely didn’t buy her excuses.
"Believe it or not!" Zhuang Chujiao snorted coldly, ready to hang up the phone.
Suddenly, she realized a problem. If things weren’t serious, mom wouldn’t have called to ask her.
She tentatively said, "Mom, what’s the situation now?"
"What, feeling scared now?" Liang Rong snorted coldly, "The Guan Family came with Guan Chao to apologize today. Your grandparents were very angry, didn’t even give face to the Guan Family’s patriarch, almost kicked them out. Do you think if Guan Chao exposes you, they’d spare you?"
Zhuang Chujiao’s expression changed drastically, not expecting the Guan Family to be so foolish as to run to the Zhuang Family to apologize.
Could it be that Guan Chao knows Mu Yan’s identity? But that can’t be it, right?
Doing something that gives leverage to the enemy doesn’t seem like something he would do.
"Where are you now?" Liang Rong’s icy voice came from the other end of the phone.
Zhuang Chujiao snapped back to reality and replied, "I’m at a friend’s house. Mom, did Guan Chao mention me?"
"Not denying it now?"
Zhuang Chujiao frowned, "Mom... I did it to vent for you, you can’t just ignore me, right?"
"Vent for me? What, now you want me to take the blame for you? You truly are a good daughter of mine."
"Mom, I didn’t mean it that way," Zhuang Chujiao quickly said.
"Guan Chao is a key figure in this matter. If he tells your grandpa about this, there’s nothing I can do. You’d better hope for the best."
Now, Zhuang Chujiao was really anxious, "Mom, grandpa would kill me if he found out, and dad would hate me too."
"Now you’re scared? What were you doing earlier!"
"Who told that bitch Zhuang Xiangnuan to go too far, I can’t swallow this," Zhuang Chujiao said hatefully.
"So you went to Guan Chao to deal with her?"
"Well, Guan Chao likes me. I just told him a minor celebrity offended me, and of course, he was happy to help me out," Zhuang Chujiao snorted lightly, "It’s also because Guan Chao is useless, being found out so quickly."
"Why don’t you say you’re useless? Since you’ve already done it, why not do it cleanly?"
Zhuang Chujiao was stunned for a moment. What does that mean?
She tentatively said, "I just wanted to humble her a little, I didn’t mean to..."
"Fool! How could I have such a naive daughter? Do you think a small injury would decrease her status in the Zhuang Family? No, it would only make them care about her more and hate you more."
Zhuang Chujiao was a little dazed, finally realizing she might have underestimated the gravity of the situation.
She used to be the only daughter of the Zhuang Family, so no matter how spoiled she was, the family would turn a blind eye. But now that Zhuang Xiangnuan is back, everything’s different.
The only way to return to her former status is to make her disappear.
Zhuang Chujiao urgently asked, "Mom, what should I do now?"
"How should I know? It’s a mess you made, you clean it up yourself."
Hearing her mother’s heartless words, Zhuang Chujiao gritted her teeth and said, "Mom, if you don’t help me, I’ll tell dad that you once tried to get rid of Gao Ning and Zhuang Xiangnuan."
