A-List Actress: Paper Marriage but Pampering Billionaire

Chapter 260: I Will Not Forgive Them!

In the villa, Mu Yan was sitting in the living room scrolling through Weibo when Song Cheng’an suddenly visited.She got up to greet him, "Brother Song, why are you here?"

Song Cheng’an walked over and handed her his phone.

"Cen Juan and Jiang Yuan’s testimonies, have a listen."

Mu Yan glanced at him, took the phone, and her mood inexplicably grew heavy.

She opened the audio and sat down on the sofa.

Cen Juan’s voice emerged from the phone, "I was Mu Yan’s roommate in college, also her senior. A few days ago, I suddenly saw online news exposing that Mu Yan had plagiarized and was expelled. I was extremely uneasy and haven’t slept for days. After much thought, I’ve decided to reveal the truth.

Actually, it was not Mu Yan who plagiarized Li Shangjia’s work back then, but Li Shangjia who stole Mu Yan’s work and slandered Mu Yan for plagiarism. Mu Yan was a very straightforward girl. She never avoided us when drawing her designs. Both Jiang Yuan and I have seen her draw that design.

However, we were blinded by jealousy back then. When Mu Yan was slandered, none of us stood up to speak for her.

Mu Yan entered college at seventeen, was ranked first in the entire school, was favored by the faculty, represented the school in various competitions, and won numerous awards. She was also the first in line for the departmental scholarship.

She was truly dazzling, overshadowing not only students in her grade but even us upperclassmen; it felt like we would never have a chance to shine under her shadow.

Thus, when Li Shangjia slandered her for plagiarism, we hesitated and didn’t help her clarify.

Originally, we just wanted to teach her a lesson, make her restrain a bit, and give us the qualification for the competition. We never expected the school to expel her.

Whenever I think of her crying and begging us to tell the truth back then, my heart is filled with immense regret.

She once said her biggest dream was to be an oil painter, travel the world with her easel, and paint all the vibrant landscapes along the way.

Unfortunately, our selfishness ruined her, causing her to lose her dream, and deprived the world of an excellent artist.

Li Shangjia is certainly despicable, and we were accomplices.

Mu Yan, I’m sorry. I know this apology is four years late, but I’m truly sorry. Please forgive me."

Toward the end, Cen Juan choked up.

After listening to the audio, Mu Yan suddenly turned her head and looked elsewhere, biting her hand, holding back her tears.

She thought hearing Cen Juan and the others revealing the truth would make her happy, relieved.

But not at all.

She was actually deceived by these kinds of people, how foolish!

Song Cheng’an saw her holding in emotions and felt a bit pained.

He had taken care of her for quite a while now and secretly treated her as a younger sister.

A young girl subjected to such injustice, betrayed by those she trusted the most, what sort of grievance and despair must that be.

She’s fortunate to have a strong character. Otherwise, she would have given up on herself long ago.

He said, "The next one is Jiang Yuan’s. If you don’t want to listen, it’s almost the same statement."

Mu Yan released her hand, revealing a row of red bite marks on her hand.

She tugged at the corner of her mouth, "It’s rare for her to open her mouth, how can I not listen."

She opened the next audio, and Jiang Yuan’s voice emerged.

Her words were very similar to Cen Juan’s, except she added one more reason: she was jealous of her beauty.

Mu Yan snorted, jealousy is like a sharp tool, easily capable of destroying a person’s life.

She looked at Song Cheng’an, her eyes resolute, "I will not forgive them!"
