A-List Actress: Paper Marriage but Pampering Billionaire

Chapter 1016: Reaching a Consensus!

Mu Yan looked at him with a somewhat displeased expression, "Isn’t this something you should be doing? Everything started because of you."Long Xiao chuckled softly, "Looks like you want your dad to regret it? You want to take revenge on him?"

Once the words were out, he didn’t feel as awkward as when he first came in, becoming much more at ease.

"Whether he regrets it or not has nothing to do with me. My mom can’t see it anyway, but given her temperament, she probably wouldn’t care anymore." Mu Yan said calmly, "But I really can’t stand him complacently holding a mistress’s illegitimate daughter while acting all guilty towards me."

Long Xiao was straightforward, "This is what I owe your mom and you. Whatever you want me to do, I’ll do it."

Back then, if not for that incident, Zhuang Ning wouldn’t have had to leave Beijing, and Mu Yan would still be a young lady of the Zhuang Family, living a life without worries and hardships.

"So you mean you were hired to frame my mom back then. Who hired you?" Mu Yan asked.

"An old boss I used to follow in Beijing," Long Xiao replied honestly.

Despite his high status in Upper City over the years, a boss isn’t born a boss; they all start as underlings, gaining followers along the way to become one.

"Who?"

"He’s already passed away," Long Xiao answered, "About ten years ago, he died of lung cancer."

"Is that so? It seems that heaven is fair after all," Mu Yan smirked, "Good."

If it were anyone else saying such things, Long Xiao would surely have acted, but due to the boss’s actions, her mother and daughter suffered a lot in Shanghai.

"Even though the boss is gone, many of the people who were with him back then are still alive. Maybe asking them could reveal who was behind it."

"No, I need evidence," Mu Yan said firmly, "I know who the mastermind is, but without evidence, I can’t convince anyone."

"Alright, I’ll find the evidence!" Long Xiao agreed readily.

Mu Yan looked at Jiang Jingheng, "My mom’s secretary..."

"I’ll have someone investigate."

"Okay." Mu Yan nodded.

Long Xiao took some comfort seeing the harmonious relationship between the two.

She knew Zhuang Ning cherished this daughter deeply; if she knew about this, she would be at ease.

"I’ll be leaving now. If there’s anything, contact me," Long Xiao suddenly said.

Mu Yan didn’t speak, but Jiang Jingheng said, "If you need any help, feel free to tell me."

Long Xiao smiled and looked at him with an unclear expression, "Just giving me a little more freedom would be the greatest help."

Jiang Jingheng neither agreed nor disagreed.

Long Xiao glanced at Mu Yan, turned to leave, and suddenly remembered something, saying, "Be careful when you go out. I’ve noticed more than once that someone is following you."

Of course, he was sure those people weren’t Jiang Jingheng’s, and they had malicious intent.

"It’s none of your business," Mu Yan retorted directly, but realizing he was also looking out for her, she appeared somewhat unnatural, although an apology was impossible to come from her lips.

Long Xiao smiled nonchalantly and turned to leave.

Lian Jun looked at Jiang Jingheng and, seeing him nodding slightly, immediately turned to escort him out.

The living room was left with only Mu Yan and Jiang Jingheng. Mu Yan looked at the door and suddenly said, "He has aged a lot."

Jiang Jingheng calmly said, "Everyone ages."

Mu Yan looked at him, thinking he would still be a handsome old man even when aged.

Recalling everything, her mood dropped a bit, "My mom probably never thought she’d be betrayed by the people around her. Liang Rong truly is formidable."

"The truth will come to light," Jiang Jingheng comforted.

Mu Yan pondered for a moment and said, "I’m not at ease with Long Xiao on his own."

All her hopes were pinned on Long Xiao, he couldn’t have anything happen to him.
