Aunt and Fu Hua were on good terms, so with Aunt’s help, Fu Hua would definitely not like Shen Mianmian.
Thinking this, Cheng Xining felt somewhat reassured.
She didn’t know whether she really liked He Nan that much, or if it was just obsession or perhaps she was just unwilling to accept that someone inferior to her in all respects could take away everything that was supposed to be hers, just because of her good looks.
When Shen Mianmian wasn’t around, everyone doted on her. Although He Nan didn’t like her, there weren’t other women around him either. It was all Shen Mianmian’s fault that she disturbed the original balance.
Although Cheng Xining didn’t want to admit it, she was indeed somewhat jealous of Shen Mianmian.
Jealous that despite having nothing and coming from a humble background, He Nan still treated her so well.
After receiving Fu Hua’s call, Ruan Lingyu stayed at home waiting for Cheng Xining. It had been a long time since they met, and she missed her. Initially, Ruan Lingyu thought Cheng Xining would be angry because she didn’t persuade Shen Mianmian to back off, and anticipated complaints when she saw her. However, to her surprise, Cheng Xining greeted her with a smile, appearing to be in a very good mood.
"Aunt, it’s gotten colder, make sure to wear more when you go out later."
Seeing her thoughtfulness, Ruan Lingyu’s mood also lifted, "I’m dressed warmly enough, it’s not cold. But you, why are you dressed so lightly?"
Cheng Xining was only wearing a woolen coat and a pair of short boots, which definitely wouldn’t be warm enough in this weather.
Pouting, Cheng Xining acted coquettishly: "Last year’s clothes are out of fashion, and I do not want to wear them anymore. I’ll just wear this for now, and we can buy a couple of new pieces when we get to the mall."
In fact, Cheng Xining’s clothes were not outdated at all; the clothes she bought were all pricey and would not be considered out of style even if worn for five to six years, let alone two to three.
But Cheng Xining was somewhat extravagant and liked to wear new clothes. Although Ruan Lingyu thought it was a waste, she was willing to indulge her.
"You! You care too much about appearances. Being out-of-style is better than freezing. I have clothes in my house; you can wear one on top for now, and change after we buy new ones."
"I don’t want to." Cheng Xining, shaking Ruan Lingyu’s arm and acting coquettishly, said, "Aunt, accompany me to buy new ones. I want to wear new ones directly."
"Alright, alright, I’ll take you to buy new ones. Stop shaking; you’re going to shake my arm off." Knowing the girl’s love for beauty, Ruan Lingyu had no choice but to agree.
Cheng Xining became happily cheery.
The two went out, hailed a taxi, and soon arrived at the mall. While shopping and chatting, Cheng Xining, seeing that the atmosphere was right, brought up that day’s matter.
"Aunt, thanks for helping me confront Shen Mianmian that day. I was too willful then, making such an unreasonable request. Shen Mianmian is so calculative; having finally caught a big fish like He Ge, she definitely wouldn’t let go. It was naive of me to make you lower yourself to speak to Shen Mianmian. It was all my fault."
Hearing this, Ruan Lingyu was extremely moved. Xining had really grown up and become sensible. Newest update provıded by 𝗻𝗼𝘃𝗲𝗹~𝓯𝓲𝓻𝓮~𝚗𝚎𝚝
She sighed, "I wanted to help you, but it turned out that I couldn’t really help. I’ve been feeling bad these past few days. Xining, don’t worry, even if Shen Mianmian refuses to break off contact with Xiaonan, your Aunt Fu won’t let her get involved with Xiaonan. I understand your Aunt Fu’s temper."
"I hope so!" Cheng Xining pouted, "I heard Shen Mianmian bought a house in Beijing. I don’t know if He Nan paid for it."
