A-List Actress: Paper Marriage but Pampering Billionaire-Chapter 717: Predicament!

Jiang Yutai knew that Zhuang Chujiao liked Jiang Jingheng, so he exaggerated Jiang Jingheng’s attitude last night when he told her about it.

"Jiaojiao, I’m just saying, Jingheng doesn’t know what’s good for him. He ignores a lady from a prestigious family like you and actually likes an actress instead."

Zhuang Chujiao’s face was full of embarrassment, even more so than when she found out yesterday that Jiang Jingheng had a woman.

Originally, she still held onto a glimmer of hope that those words were just said to annoy her, but now that he admitted it to the Jiang Family elders himself, and even risked being kicked out of the house, it was enough to prove its authenticity.

How could he do this! What did she lack compared to that woman!

Seeing Zhuang Chujiao’s nearly twisted expression, Jiang Yutai tentatively asked, "Jiaojiao, are you alright?"

Zhuang Chujiao snapped back to reality, glanced at him, said nothing, picked up her bag, and walked out.

"Jiaojiao!" Jiang Yutai hurriedly stood up to chase after her.

But by the time he got outside, Zhuang Chujiao had already gotten into a taxi and left.

Jiang Yutai wasn’t angry at all. He knew she was upset and sad now, and only after her heartache had passed would she realize who was really right for her.

In the taxi, Zhuang Chujiao was crying and making a phone call.

"Mom, Brother Jingheng got married, sob, sob."

"He actually married an actress, I’m so upset!"

"I’m not willing to accept it, Mom. I must marry Brother Jingheng."

...

In the Liang Family’s room, Liang Rong was on the phone comforting her daughter.

"Don’t worry for now, Mom will call and ask Aunt Yun later."

"Sweetheart, if you’re unhappy over there, come back to Beijing."

"Don’t cry, baby, you’re breaking Mom’s heart."

...

Liang Rong finally managed to calm her daughter down and hung up the phone.

Her expression turned instantly somber, was that Jiang boy out of his mind?

He didn’t want to marry the daughter of the Zhuang Family, who did he think he was?

Initially, she wasn’t very keen on her daughter liking the Jiang Family’s third son, after all, someone of that status, who wasn’t faultless, might drag her daughter down.

But seeing how he solidified his position in the Jiang Family and took charge of the group over the past two years, she started to feel tempted, only to realize he didn’t even consider them in his plans.

The matter of marriage, dictated by parents and facilitated by matchmakers, she didn’t believe the Jiang Family could allow him to be so reckless.

Anyway, this matter needed to be discussed with Jiaojiao’s dad, as he had always been on good terms with Jiang Zhenghong.

Thinking of Zhuang Shaoyang, she felt a wave of frustration, blaming her for not being able to bring Nuannuan back.

Every time something involved that mother and daughter pair, he seemed to change completely.

Thinking about having one more person at home soon, she felt a wave of anxiety and irritation.

She took her phone, went downstairs, and heard her sister-in-law from her maternal family ask her, "Ah Rong, did the Zhuang Family say when they’re coming to pick you up?"

Liang Rong looked at her, "Sister-in-law, are you complaining that I’ve stayed home too long?"

In the living room sat the Liang Family’s first wife, second wife, and third wife, along with their daughters.

The first wife of the Liang Family looked like she was over fifty, with a pair of slender phoenix eyes that didn’t appear easy to get along with.

She laughed, "Not at all, you’re a daughter of the Liang Family, you can stay home as long as you like, but it’s just that brother-in-law not coming to pick you up is a bit weird."

"I just missed home, so I decided to stay for a few days." Liang Rong walked into the living room and sat down.

"Oh, I thought you had a fight with your husband." The second wife of the Liang Family chimed in.

A glint flashed in Liang Rong’s eyes, and she smiled, "Not at all. Shaoyang and I have a great relationship. It’s just that he’s been busy lately, and with Jiaojiao away, I finally had some time to come back to my maternal home for a little stay."

"Then stay home for a few more days, and when Jiaojiao returns, let her come over to play too."

"Thank you, sister-in-law." Liang Rong smiled, but inside she was filled with hatred.

Truly, a married daughter is like water that’s been poured out. Now, she even had to watch her sister-in-law’s face before she could live in her maternal home.

In any case, it seemed she must win back Shaoyang’s heart, and of course, that had to start with his precious daughter.
