A-List Actress: Paper Marriage but Pampering Billionaire

Chapter 983: Reprimand!

Mu Yan asked Jiang Jingheng to help her investigate events from over ten years ago, and Jiang Jingheng indeed arranged for someone to handle it.The first thing the subordinate did was to send over Liang Rong’s recent activities.

Mu Yan was surprised to find that Liang Rong is quite skilled in business, having studied abroad in her early years. After returning to China, she invested in various industries and holds the position of deputy general manager in the Liang Family’s enterprise.

A daughter married off yet holding a significant position in the family business clearly demonstrates her capability.

As for why she doesn’t work in Zhuang Shaoyang’s company, that remains unknown.

However, according to Mu Yan’s guess, she probably doesn’t want any conflicts with Zhuang Shaoyang at work, and not seeing each other daily could help maintain a sense of novelty.

Remembering the several times she’s met Liang Rong, she always appeared as a wealthy lady without a trace of the demeanor of a strong-willed woman.

This is likely to please the elderly in the family.

In essence, everything indicates that Liang Rong loves Zhuang Shaoyang deeply, which also shows that she harbors resentment towards Zhuang Ning.

To Mu Yan’s surprise, her mother was a strong woman in the past, and it’s entirely due to her establishing foundations in the early days that Zhuang Shaoyang’s company has grown so robust.

Back then, to develop her career, she socialized extensively, naturally coming into contact with many men.

Mu Yan roughly guessed why Zhuang Shaoyang would doubt if she was his child; an overly exceptional woman could easily lead a man to feel inferior, causing all sorts of suspicions.

However, records show that Zhuang Shaoyang served in the military before, logically making him more resilient than most.

Mu Yan wasn’t interested in what Zhuang Shaoyang thought and didn’t dwell on it.

She believed that to expose Liang Rong’s malicious side, she should first find the men in those photos, and everything would be resolved.

Although difficult to achieve, gaining some clues put Mu Yan in a much better mood than before.

As for Jiang Jingheng, he was called back by Old Sir Jiang and scolded harshly.

The reason being, the Imperial Capital Guan Family sent a gift of apology, saying Guan Chao offended Jing Heng, and now both of his arms were broken, hence settling the score.

Old Sir Jiang scolded Jiang Jingheng for acting recklessly, not considering the consequences, and damaging the harmony between the two families.

Jiang Jingheng listened to the reprimand without replying.

This grandson has always been stubborn, hard to sway even by force, and Old Sir Jiang knew scolding him wouldn’t change his mind, yet he couldn’t help his anger.

He looked at this outstanding grandson from various aspects and warned, "If you always act this willfully, you won’t be able to bear the responsibility of the Jiang Family."

Jiang Jingheng wasn’t buying it in the slightest, "Then let the person in Grandpa’s mind who is capable take on the responsibility."

Old Sir Jiang looked at him sharply, "Young man, there’s always someone better; don’t be too arrogant."

"If Grandpa has no other instructions, I’ll be going." Jiang Jingheng said calmly.

Before Old Sir Jiang could say anything, he opened the door and left.

Old Sir Jiang watched the door close and shut his eyes.

"Don’t blame me for not giving you a chance."

After leaving the study, Jiang Jingheng prepared to return to the villa and coincidentally ran into Jiang Zhenghong at the staircase.

The father and son hardly exchange a few words throughout the year, and every time they do, it’s always confrontational.

Jiang Jingheng gave a barely visible nod and prepared to move forward.

"What, you see your dad and won’t say a word?" Jiang Zhenghong said unhappily.

Jiang Jingheng glanced at him and said indifferently, "Dad."

"So reluctant, do I owe you money?" Jiang Zhenghong was even more displeased, "You’ve surely improved, causing trouble outside and making me take the blame."

Earlier, before Jiang Jingheng returned, he was summoned by Old Sir Jiang and scolded for not raising his son properly.

"Oh, really?" Jiang Jingheng said indifferently, unmoved.

Jiang Zhenghong’s face turned blue with anger; this truly is his "good" son, unable to elicit a single meaningful response.

Not knowing what came to his mind, he retorted in irritation, "Breaking only his arms, what’s the deal? Those legs should’ve been broken too."
