A-List Actress: Paper Marriage but Pampering Billionaire-Chapter 948: If It’s Not Her, Then It’s You!
Zhuang Zeyang’s reproach brought Zhuang Shaoyang back to his senses.
He quickly defended himself, "Brother, I didn’t do it, how could I possibly do such a thing?"
At that time, he hated Ah Ning for being unfaithful to him and suspected Nuannuan wasn’t his child, but despite the hatred, he loved Ah Ning and genuinely cared for Nuannuan, so how could he possibly strike ruthlessly.
Moreover, as a former military officer, he couldn’t treat human life as a game.
"So you’re saying Nuannuan is accusing you?" Zhuang Zeyang frowned.
"I..." Zhuang Shaoyang wanted to say yes, but he somewhat understood Mu Yan’s nature; she wouldn’t fabricate things out of thin air. 𝒇𝙧𝙚𝓮𝙬𝙚𝓫𝒏𝓸𝓿𝓮𝒍.𝓬𝙤𝓶
He gritted his teeth, "It really wasn’t me."
"There must be some misunderstanding here; Shao Yang cares for Nuannuan so much, he wouldn’t do such a thing," Liang Rong chimed in.
Mu Yan glanced at her, surprisingly calm; she was indeed the most suspicious one, yet she acted as if nothing was wrong, supporting Zhuang Shaoyang.
The more she acted this way, the harder it was to suspect her.
"Really? There might have been many who hated my mom back then, but few, if any, would have hated a seven-year-old me. If it isn’t him, I can’t think of anyone else," Mu Yan looked at her with a half-smile, "Didn’t you watch me grow up? Perhaps you can help me think, who on earth wants to harm me?"
Liang Rong looked at her pretty apricot eyes and suddenly said, "Nuannuan is suspecting me?"
As soon as those words were said, everyone looked at Liang Rong; indeed, she was the most suspicious.
Back in the day, she painstakingly approached Zhuang Ning, won her trust, only to be revealed as Zhuang Shaoyang’s lover. In terms of tactics, in terms of scheming, no one compared to her.
She drove Zhuang Ning away, how could she be at ease?
What if she came back? So the only solution was to eliminate completely.
Zhuang Shaoyang also looked at Liang Rong, eyes filled with surprise and suspicion—was it her?
Seeing everyone looking at her, especially Zhuang Shaoyang’s questioning eyes, Liang Rong smiled bitterly, "Looks like I can’t explain myself; who asked for me to bring Jiaojiao in after Ah Ning left."
Zhuang Shaoyang didn’t know what to think, he said, "Don’t worry, no one is saying it’s you."
Mu Yan saw him trusting Liang Rong with just a few words, and suddenly the fire in her heart flared up.
Some people are not only blind in the eyes but also in the heart.
"If it’s not her, then it must be you. It’s got to be one of you two, otherwise, I really can’t think of any other enemies."
Zhuang Shaoyang looked at Mu Yan’s cold expression and explained, "Nuannuan, it’s really not us. I am your Dad, I wouldn’t do such a thing."
"Don’t insult the word ’Dad,’ alright?" A trace of annoyance flashed across Mu Yan’s eyes.
Zhuang Shaoyang opened his mouth but couldn’t say anything.
By this time, he finally understood why Nuannuan disliked him so much. In her heart, he was her mortal enemy.
He really didn’t do it, but he knew she wouldn’t believe him.
Mu Yan suddenly looked at Mrs. Zhuang beside her, "Grandma, I don’t want to see this person."
Mrs. Zhuang looked at her granddaughter’s aggrieved expression, then immediately took her anger out on the culprit, "Get out, right now!"
Zhuang Shaoyang looked at his mother, then at his daughter, and finally at the others; no one showed him a friendly face.
He understood, they had grown completely tired of him.
He turned and headed upstairs, looking so lonely and desolate.
"Shao Yang!" Liang Rong called out softly, wanting to chase after him.
Suddenly she stopped and looked at Mr. Zhuang with a mournful voice, "Dad, it’s not Shao Yang, he wouldn’t do such a thing. If someone has to bear the blame, then let it... let it be me."
Mu Yan’s lips curled slightly as she raised an eyebrow at her, "Don’t act like you’re being self-sacrificing. Whether you did it or not, I will find out, and actually, I already have some clues."
