A-List Actress: Paper Marriage but Pampering Billionaire

Chapter 1183: The Reason He Doesn’t Dare to Confess!

Lin Jiamu seemed oblivious, sitting on the ground in a daze, lost in thought about something unknown.Xie Feng snapped irritably, "I say, my dear ancestor, do you know how badly you’re being trashed online right now? Say something so I can manage the PR."

If it were someone else, he’d handle it easily, but it just had to be Mu Yan, this kid’s weakness. If he didn’t handle it well, he was sure to have a fight with him.

Lin Jiamu remained silent, and Xie Feng wasn’t in a hurry anymore. He simply sat on the sofa, staring at him, waiting for him to speak, challenging who could outlast whom.

After all, this was all he had to deal with today.

After who knows how long, Lin Jiamu suddenly raised his eyes to look at him, with a dim expression. "Haven’t you always wanted to know why I didn’t dare to confess to her?"

Xie Feng’s eyelid twitched; this was something he truly wanted to know.

When Lin Jiamu explained the ins and outs, Xie Feng panicked and jumped up from the sofa.

"It’s over, it’s over. Do you think Mu Yan would use this to retaliate against you? Once that’s made public, your reputation will be devastated."

Compared to his anxiety, Lin Jiamu’s expression remained exceedingly calm.

"She won’t."

Xie Feng anxiously said, "How could she not? That’s a grudge as deep as a mother’s murder. If it were me, I couldn’t endure..."

He suddenly stopped, looked at Lin Jiamu, coughed, and said, "I didn’t mean it that way."

"It’s okay," Lin Jiamu said blandly, "You don’t need to worry about this."

"Do you trust her that much?"

"No matter what happens, it’s the retribution I deserve."

"Even if you lose your reputation and status?"

"Yes, I’ve been uneasy for so many years, I just want to get a good night’s sleep."

Watching Lin Jiamu’s calm demeanor, Xie Feng hesitated to speak, finally saying, "Just make sure you don’t regret it."

Lin Jiamu said nothing, looking out the window, where the sunlight was glaring, making it hard to open his eyes.

Perhaps after dwelling in darkness for too long, when one finally breaks free from the cage, they find they’re not suited for this bright and warm world.

"I won’t regret it."

He no longer wanted to do anything he’d regret.

Though Lin Jiamu said so, Xie Feng couldn’t just watch him destroy himself like this.

He could refrain from releasing any harmful information targeting Mu Yan, but he still needed to maintain what needed to be maintained.

What he didn’t expect was that the situation developed beyond his control.

Someone exposed a set of photos, showing Lin Jiamu dressed in a punk style, surrounded by a gang of ruffians, with no trace of a sunny warm young man—a clear depiction of a petty gangster.

The public account directly claimed that before his debut, Lin Jiamu was involved in the underworld, working with one of the top bosses in Upper City and was quite influential in the criminal world.

Lin Jiamu’s fans tried to clear their idol’s name but couldn’t deny those photos.

Many people expressed disappointment in Lin Jiamu, thinking he was an upright young man, not expecting him to be a thug.

Of course, some felt that everyone makes mistakes; who hasn’t had rebellious times? Moreover, the current Lin Jiamu had long turned away from darkness; people should focus on the present, not the past.

But soon, there was another revelation that Lin Jiamu was using drugs.

In recent years, many celebrities in the entertainment industry have been caught using drugs, including top stars. Ultimately, the result was imprisonment; some joked that even top directors couldn’t cast these people, yet they ended up spontaneously making a ’Prison Storm’ that shocked the nation.

Once tainted by the term drugs, no matter how big a star you are, don’t expect to make it in the industry anymore.

Lin Jiamu’s true fans naturally didn’t believe their idol would break the law, always calling for him to come out and clarify, but Lin Jiamu seemed to have vanished.
