A-List Actress: Paper Marriage but Pampering Billionaire-Chapter 743: Visit!

The matter was settled, and the atmosphere between Zhuang Zeyang and Jiang Jingheng was no longer as tense.

As a junior and being in Upper City, Jiang Jingheng naturally had to fulfill the obligations of a host and entertain Zhuang Zeyang.

Zhuang Zeyang found that although Jiang Jingheng was young, he was quite attentive to political affairs and even had some unique insights, which made him admire him a bit more.

The meal, while not excessively joyful, was relatively harmonious.

After the meal, Jiang Jingheng saw Zhuang Zeyang off before driving back to his villa.

As soon as Zhuang Zeyang got into the car, he received a call from Beijing, it was from his wife.

"If the Ning Family is visiting, just entertain them well."

Zhuang Zeyang hung up the phone, his brows slightly furrowed. Ever since that incident back then, the interactions between the Ning Family and the Zhuang Family decreased significantly.

The Ning Family’s visit today reminded him of an old affair from years past.

After all these years, could the Ning Family still remember the childhood betrothal casually mentioned at the time?

In Beijing, at the Zhuang Family.

After finishing her call, Ruan Xinyu came downstairs and saw Mrs. Ning talking with Old Mrs. Zhuang, making the latter smile happily.

She walked over and asked, "Ah Ru, what delightful things were you saying to make the old lady so happy?"

Mrs. Ning looked at her and laughed, "It wasn’t me who amused her, the old lady is just in a good mood herself."

Old Mrs. Zhuang patted Mrs. Ning’s hand and sighed, "Seeing Ah Ru, it makes me think of my Ah Ning. You are both such good children, such a pity."

She shook her head without speaking further and wiped her tears with her hand.

Mrs. Ning noticed the old lady suddenly became melancholy and quickly comforted her, "Old lady, what’s wrong? I heard from Shi Shen that Nuannuan has been found, and you’ll soon be able to see Ah Ning, so why aren’t you happy?"

Upon hearing this, the sadness on Old Mrs. Zhuang’s face deepened.

Mrs. Ning was somewhat at a loss and looked at Ruan Xinyu, "Sister-in-law, what happened to Ah Ning?"

Ruan Xinyu sighed, "Ah Ning has passed away."

"What?" Mrs. Ning looked at her in disbelief, exclaiming, "This, how could this be possible!"

Ruan Xinyu did not explain, she sat next to the old lady and used a tissue to wipe her tears.

Seeing the old lady’s melancholic expression, Mrs. Ning was convinced they were not joking.

Although Ah Ning was not the biological daughter of the old lady, she treated her better than her own biological daughter.

Mrs. Ning suddenly felt a deep sense of discomfort, realizing that her old friend, missing for so many years, had already passed.

Originally, she wanted to discuss Shi Shen and Nuannuan’s marriage, but she no longer had the heart to do so.

Images of that bright and beautiful figure filled her mind, as if it was just yesterday that they met, went to school together, lived in the same dormitory, and shared each other’s little secrets.

After a long while, Mrs. Ning regained her composure and asked, "What exactly happened, how could she just be gone?"

"We don’t know the specifics either, only when Nuannuan returns can we ask her for the details," Ruan Xinyu replied.

Mrs. Ning felt very uneasy and asked, "And Nuannuan..."

"Her uncle went to Upper City to pick her up, she’ll be back home soon," Ruan Xinyu answered.

Although she hadn’t asked her husband about the progress, she believed in his abilities.

Moreover, since childhood, Nuannuan was close to her uncle, and he treated her like a daughter, even putting her before his own son.

Thinking of the children, Ruan Xinyu thought of Mrs. Ning’s son.

She instinctively asked, "How has Shi Shen been all these years, is he married?"
