是在这段里面的:
The day of the wedding, my daughter, Jenny, decided to have both her mother, my ex-wife, and me walk her down the aisle. I was displeased at first, but I was forced to agree that it was Jenny's wedding and not mine, even though I paid for everything. That was another dilemma, I did have to pay for everything. I didn't plan the wedding, pick out the wedding chapel, the wedding dress, the menu, or even the groom. It seemed that neither my ex-wife nor the groom's parents seemed to have any money. I was beginning to feel set up, especially when the smiling Noelle followed me around everywhere I went, probably wondering if I had another credit card that hadn't been maxxed out.

我开始感到被算计了。

set up 含义很丰富,这里理解为“算计”“预谋”Lay plans for。
例句:
I think they set up the kidnapping months ago. 我想他们几个月前就策划这次绑架了。

set up:设圈套害人
Prepare someone for a deception or trickery or joke
Feel set up = feel being set up 感到受骗上当了, 感到中了圈套
作者为了女儿结婚付了所有的钱,但没有任何决策权,很懊恼才这样说:
I was beginning to feel set up... 我逐渐感到被(他们)耍了...

我当时就觉得我被算计了
