"This is what Mianmian made for me to eat."
Lucky kid, no wonder he wanted to stay for dinner; it was all for the pastries.
"Mianmian made them for you to take home and eat, but she didn’t say they were just for you. There are so many, you can’t eat them all by yourself." He Nan continued eating his pastry, showing no signs of stopping. ᴛʜɪs ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀ ɪs ᴜᴘᴅᴀᴛᴇ ʙʏ 𝕟𝕠𝕧𝕖𝕝⚑𝕗𝕚𝕣𝕖⚑𝕟𝕖𝕥
Grandpa He huffed angrily, "If I can’t finish, I can still eat them tomorrow morning."
"If you want to eat, ask the butler to make you some tomorrow."
"These were made by your granddaughter-in-law, you think they are the same?"
"How could I have a granddaughter-in-law without a grandson?"
Grandpa He was left speechless and, seeing that He Nan was already eating half of the pastries, he didn’t bother arguing and quickly snatched two pieces into his bowl.
After finishing the meal, the plate of pastries was wiped clean, and Grandpa He felt that he had eaten too little, appearing unhappy.
After He Nan left, he spoke to the butler, "Next time Xiaonan stays for a meal, don’t bring out that girl’s cooking."
Upon hearing this, the butler instantly laughed, noting that the old man only turned into a child in front of his grandson.
The results of the DNA test would take a week to come out. Although Ruan Yiqian was anxious, there was nothing he could do, as DNA testing results from that era weren’t quickly available.
But anyway, he had finally gotten the hair, and the rest was just waiting for the results.
Fearing that Shen Mianmian might find him annoying, Ruan Yiqian didn’t bother her anymore. For now, everything would wait until the results came in.
What he did was to work on persuading Cheng Xining.
The next day, Ruan Yiqian arrived at Cheng Family’s house only to find out that Cheng Xining had gone out to play. Helpless, Ruan Yiqian had to go to the office first, planning to talk to her later when he had time.
He didn’t know that at that moment, Cheng Xining was on her way to the He Family’s house. She had arranged to go shopping with Fu Hua today. She had made up her mind; since Shen Mianmian wouldn’t listen to advice, she would start with Fu Hua. By buttering up Fu Hua and badmouthing Shen Mianmian, as long as Fu Hua didn’t like Shen Mianmian, Shen Mianmian would have no chance of stepping through the He Family’s door.
Cheng Xining had a clever plan, but upon arriving at the He Family’s house, Fu Hua informed her that she couldn’t go shopping today.
"Xining, Auntie will go shopping with you another time. This morning, your Grandpa He suddenly called me over, and I’ve also contacted your elder aunt. She’s free today, so let her accompany you!"
"It’s okay, Auntie Fu. Since Grandpa He needs you, you should go first. I can go shopping with elder aunt just as well. We’ll go down together."
Cheng Xining acted very sensibly, which greatly pleased Fu Hua, who held her hand in praise.
"Xining, you’re really becoming more sensible."
Both families were well-matched in social status, and knowing each other inside out, apart from her temper, Fu Hua liked her in all other aspects. She had watched her grow up after all. In Fu Hua’s eyes, Cheng Xining and He Nan together were a match made in heaven, which would also improve the relations between He Ruan families, making them even closer.
Unfortunately, He Nan hadn’t realized it yet, and now his relationship with Shen Mianmian was ambiguous.
When she had time, she needed to work on Xiaonan’s thoughts.
Once Fu Hua left, Cheng Xining went to Ruan Lingyu’s house. Since last time her elder aunt helped her find Shen Mianmian, they hadn’t been in touch. She knew Ruan Lingyu didn’t want to cause a scene, so she hadn’t contacted her.
She would need her elder aunt’s help in many things in the future, so it was better to maintain a good relationship with her.
