A-List Actress: Paper Marriage but Pampering Billionaire

Chapter 1356: Chapter 1356: Backing

Although only Zhuang Zeyang and a few others from the Zhuang Family came this time, the Jiang Family’s attitude can definitely be described as respectful.

After all, Zhuang Zeyang is already at the ministerial level in Beijing, and merchants have traditionally respected politicians.

Thinking back to when Qiu Shuyun was determined to have Jiang Yutai marry Zhuang Chujiao for the Zhuang Family’s influence, who would have thought Zhuang Chujiao wasn’t even a real member of the Zhuang Family.

Instead, Jiang Jingheng, that illegitimate child, ended up mistakenly marrying the Zhuang Family’s daughter and gained such a significant backing.

Even if she felt uncomfortable, she dared not show any disrespect when facing the Zhuang Family.

She smiled warmly at Ruan Xinyu and said, "Mrs. Zhuang, it’s been a long time, you’re looking younger and younger."

Ruan Xinyu nodded slightly, "Thank you."

"Please come inside, I heard yesterday that you arrived in Upper City. The old sir even wanted to invite you to sit at our home." Jiang Zhengfeng said to Zhuang Zeyang and the others.

Zhuang Zeyang nodded slightly, "It’s fitting that we come to visit the old sir."

As the group walked towards the living room, Ruan Xinyu tilted her head and asked Mu Yan, "Who was that just now? I’ve seen your mother-in-law before."

Mu Yan instinctively glanced at Qiu Shuyun, noting her rigid expression, and said plainly, "That’s Second Aunt, and this is Second Uncle."

"Oh." Ruan Xinyu realized, "So it’s that Second Aunt who always acts insidiously, constantly causing trouble for you."

Qiu Shuyun, "..."

Speaking ill of someone so loudly? Did you consider the feelings of the person involved?!

Mu Yan calmly said, "It doesn’t matter, I’ve never suffered any losses anyway."

Qiu Shuyun watched Mu Yan and Ruan Xinyu’s backs, her face twisted with anger, wondering if they were too dismissive of her.

Just as they reached the living room, the old sir came down the stairs.

Zhuang Zeyang and the others stood in place, greeting the old sir, "Uncle Jiang, is your health well?"

"Zeyang, Shao Yang, you’re here. My health is quite good, thank you for visiting me." Old Sir Jiang said, as someone helped him to the sofa, looking at Zhuang Shaoyang and the others, "You should sit too."

Zhuang Zeyang sat down and said, "You and my father were friends, and now our families are in-laws, so we should keep in touch more often; we might visit Upper City more frequently in the future."

"If you all want to visit this old man, I absolutely welcome it." Old Sir Jiang laughed.

He remembered something, looking towards Mu Yan standing behind Ruan Xinyu, and asked, "Is your brother’s funeral arranged?"

"Yes, it’s arranged." Mu Yan nodded, "Thank you for remembering, sir."

"We are family, there’s no need to be so polite."

Zhuang Zeyang seemingly accidentally said, "Thanks to Jing Heng, with him taking care of Nuannuan, we are at ease."

Old Sir Jiang glanced at Jiang Jingheng and said indifferently, "He’s Nuannuan’s husband, that’s what he should do."

After Old Sir Jiang finished speaking, he continued chatting with Zhuang Zeyang about other matters.

Jiang Jingheng seemed unaffected, listening with a slight change in expression.

Qiu Shuyun knew that Zhuang Zeyang and the others came today to support their niece and her husband, and couldn’t help feeling annoyed at Liang Rong’s incompetence, wondering why they hadn’t had any children with Zhuang Shaoyang over the years.

She was in charge of accompanying Ruan Xinyu, despite not liking her, but dared not offend, trying to say pleasing words, yet Ruan Xinyu’s every sentence was sharp.

Ruan Xinyu said casually, "Our family is simple, unlike the Jiang Family’s wealth, and can’t afford those lavish jewels."

Qiu Shuyun’s expression stiffened, as she only wanted to chat about the jewelry favored by wealthy ladies as a topic, yet Ruan Xinyu’s comment made it appear she was ridiculing her as being poor.

She felt a burst of anger and also blamed her husband for being useless, without power or status.
