A-List Actress: Paper Marriage but Pampering Billionaire-Chapter 817: Dowry

Not long after, everyone in the living room dispersed and returned to their respective rooms.

Ruan Xinyu returned to her room and couldn’t help but say to her husband, "I used to think the second brother was deeply in love with Ah Ning, but now it seems I’ve not only misunderstood but also been blind."

Zhuang Zeyang said nothing, unbuttoning his shirt.

His silence didn’t bother Ruan Xinyu; she continued, "You say, how can two daughters be so different? I thought he would feel guilty about Nuannuan, but look at how he defends Liang Rong and her daughter, it’s infuriating. How did Ah Ning ever fall for him?"

Zhuang Zeyang’s eyes flickered, as if something in his heart had been touched.

Soon, he regained his composure and said, "I plan to give two houses to Nuannuan as a dowry."

Ruan Xinyu was stunned for a moment, understanding that her husband had always treated Nuannuan as a daughter, especially considering Ah Ning’s connection.

She smiled and said, "I’ve been thinking the same. We don’t have a daughter. Since Nuannuan was born, I’ve treated her as my own. I’ll arrange this."

Zhuang Zeyang nodded and went to the bathroom.

In another room, Liang Rong nearly slapped Zhuang Chujiao again.

"How did I give birth to such a fool like you? How could you say something like that? Are you afraid others won’t know what’s on your mind?"

Zhuang Chujiao gritted her teeth, "And you want me to watch Dad give away his inheritance to that bitch?"

"If he doesn’t give it to her, should he give it all to you?" Liang Rong sneered.

Zhuang Chujiao said angrily, "Before Mu Yan appeared, everything of Dad’s was supposed to be mine."

"Sorry, she’s already appeared," Liang Rong said coldly. "Stop doing these brainless things; don’t make your dad hate you too." 𝒇𝒓𝒆𝒆𝙬𝒆𝒃𝓷𝒐𝓿𝙚𝙡.𝒄𝓸𝒎

Zhuang Chujiao wanted to argue but seeing her cold face, she fell silent.

After a moment, Liang Rong returned to her room.

Zhuang Chujiao stared at the closed door, a fierce resentment in her eyes, "I won’t let anyone take what’s mine. If I can’t do it openly, then I’ll change my approach."

The next morning, Jiang Zhenghong and his wife returned to Beijing. Before leaving, they reminded Jiang Jingheng to take good care of Mu Yan.

Mu Yan admired her own acting skills; even with no one from the Zhuang Family around, she was still in character.

And Mu Yan had a promotional event for a movie in Beijing, which was a last-minute addition that Song Cheng’an informed her about only last night.

This was because the movie "Lone Eagle" was doing exceptionally well at the box office, grossing 280 million on its first day, 350 million on the second, 340 million on the third, and still 310 million on the fourth, breaking the three-hundred-million mark three days in a row, setting a new record for domestic films.

Experts predicted that the film’s total box office could exceed three billion and perhaps even reach four billion.

With the momentum, the officials arranged a few more promotional events for the movie.

As the lead actress, there’s no way Mu Yan could refuse.

After two events in Beijing concluded, it was already evening. Mu Yan had dinner with Jiang Jingheng before taking a night flight back to Upper City.

Though she didn’t do any hard work on this trip, Mu Yan was exhausted and fell asleep as soon as she hit the pillow. Song Cheng’an considerately didn’t schedule any activities for her.

Meanwhile, Jiang Jingheng went to work as usual, which made Mu Yan feel sorry for him.

The next morning, Mu Yan received a call from Yin Manqing, inviting her and Jiang Jingheng to have a meal at the Jiang Family home.

In the past, Mu Yan might have declined.

But now that both parents have met, if she doesn’t go to the Jiang Family, it might be seen as disrespectful, so she agreed without much thought.
