A-List Actress: Paper Marriage but Pampering Billionaire

Chapter 430: Parental Command!

At the Jiang Family Mansion, in the living room, Zhao Xiyue sat on the sofa, her posture and speech exuding the elegance of a true lady from an eminent family.Although she had been in the entertainment industry for years, there had never been any scandals, and her reputation was excellent. This was one of the reasons the Jiang Family favored her.

Zhao Xiyue looked around the Jiang Family Mansion, where the décor was half European and half Chinese, yet the blend was seamless.

It combined the simplicity and elegance of European style with the rich classical atmosphere of Chinese tradition.

From childhood to adulthood, she couldn’t remember how many times she had been to the Jiang Family, but this was the first time she wanted to remember every detail.

Because, soon, she would move in and become the next mistress of the house.

Yin Manqing came over, looking apologetic, "Xiyue, I’m sorry, Jing Heng is on a business trip and can’t make it back."

Zhao Xiyue’s expression stiffened slightly. Traveling on a Saturday? He probably didn’t want to come back.

Perhaps right now, he was with Mu Yan, the two of them deeply in love, sincere and genuine.

Old Sir Jiang looked displeased, "What is Jing Heng doing? Is there anything more important than Xiyue?"

Yin Manqing was also very annoyed at heart, as the Zhao Family had come to discuss the marriage, and yet Jing Heng was nowhere to be found when it mattered.

Did he not know that marrying Zhao Xiyue would solidify his position in Shengyuan Group?

This was far more important than closing a multi-billion dollar deal!

But at this moment, she could only apologize on his behalf.

She turned to President Zhao, Mrs. Zhao, and Zhao Xiyue with an apologetic face, "President Zhao, Mrs. Zhao, Xiyue, I’m sorry. I will definitely have a good talk with Jing Heng later and tell him not to prioritize his career so much."

Zhao Xiyue smiled slightly, "It’s fine. Shengyuan Group is so large, it’s understandable that Jing Heng is busy."

Upon hearing this, Yin Manqing’s fondness for Zhao Xiyue grew even more.

With such a devoted daughter-in-law to Jing Heng, she would surely be a great support to both her and Jing Heng in the Jiang Family in the future.

"It’s rare for you to be so understanding, Xiyue. I’ll have Jing Heng give you a proper apology later."

"Aunt, you’re overpraising me."

Although the Zhao couple was not pleased, since their daughter sided with the Jiang Family, they had no choice but to accept it.

Moreover, seeing Yin Manqing’s flattering attitude towards their daughter, they felt that marrying Jiang Jingheng was a good choice for their daughter, even if there was a slight gap in status.

Exchanging a glance, Mrs. Zhao said, "I do like children like Jing Heng who have ambition, but since he’s not here today, this marriage discussion should be postponed..."

"What does it matter whether he’s here or not!" Yin Manqing interrupted her. "Marriage has always been a matter of parental consent and matchmaker’s words. Our Jing Heng still likes Xiyue very much; he used to play with her a lot as a child."

The mention of childhood memories made Zhao Xiyue’s smile even more genuine, even giving her a sense of yearning.

That tall, fierce, and rebellious boy had gradually won her heart, making her fall hopelessly in love with him.

Mrs. Zhao glanced at her daughter, seeing no objection and even some anticipation, and felt a bit helpless—girls are hard to keep after they grow up.

She turned to Yin Manqing and said, "Well, since Mrs. Jiang has said so, let’s take the lead this time."

Yin Manqing smiled and said, "Then we should start calling each other in-laws."

"Yes, in-laws."

Zhao Xiyue sat next to them, watching her parents and the Jiang Family discuss the engagement procedures, suddenly feeling a sense of loss.

Was this like a barren warm-heartedness meeting a cold response?

However, as long as they got married and lived together, he would surely come to see her merits.
