"Mianmian doesn’t really want to see me?"
Ruan Lingyu was startled.
It was Ruan Feng who had lost Mianmian, not her, so why wouldn’t she want to see her?
Ruan Yiqian sighed, "Mom, you know who Mianmian is. She has always been around us; we just didn’t know she was Mianmian. I only found out after some recent investigations, and the identification results only came out today. Before this, I wasn’t quite sure, so I didn’t tell you."
"Mianmian has been by our side?" Ruan Lingyu suddenly had a bad premonition and, remembering how her son had been protective of Shen Mianmian ever since he returned from a trip, she instantly guessed, "Is Shen Mianmian Mianmian?"
No wonder her husband had suddenly come back—it was because he had received news about their daughter.
"Yes," Ruan Yiqian nodded in acknowledgment, "Mom, I didn’t tell you before because I was afraid of making a blunder. Now that it’s confirmed, Mianmian is indeed Mianmian."
The truth was laid bare before their eyes— the person they had been searching for had been by their side all along.
Ruan Lingyu seemed to think of something, and her entire body slumped on the sofa.
The joy of finding her daughter was instantly diluted, replaced by an indescribable emotion.
How could this be possible? The person she had always looked down upon and targeted was actually her daughter.
Suddenly, the questions Shen Mianmian had once asked her echoed in her mind, and she felt her head spinning and her vision going dark.
Seeing her in a bad state, Ruan Feng hurriedly supported her, "Lingyu, I know you’ve never liked Mianmian, but she truly is our Mianmian. These years, she hasn’t had an easy life. If it wasn’t for meeting Xiaonan, she now..."
Ruan Feng sighed deeply, "It’s my fault when it comes down to it. If I hadn’t carelessly lost Mianmian all those years ago, you and your daughter wouldn’t have been separated for so many years and wouldn’t have had these misunderstandings."
All of this was his fault.
Ruan Yiqian had always known about the discord between Shen Mianmian and Ruan Lingyu. Thinking that Ruan Lingyu couldn’t accept Shen Mianmian, he followed up, "Mom, you’ve always misunderstood Mianmian. Actually, she’s a very sensible and hardworking child. Her foster parents were very unkind to her; they used to beat and scold her when she was younger, which is why she severed ties with them."
"Don’t just believe what Xining says, she likes Xiaonan after all, so she naturally won’t speak well of Mianmian. Like that incident in the mall last time, it was Xining who deliberately made things difficult for Mianmian, but Mianmian has never intentionally done anything to hurt Xining."
Whether Ruan Lingyu can accept it or not, the fact that Mianmian is indeed Mianmian is irreversible now.
Ruan Lingyu’s lips trembled, "I... Yiqian, are you sure you haven’t made a mistake? Mianmian really is Mianmian?"
Ruan Yiqian shook his head, "No mistake, Mianmian is Mianmian."
Seeing Ruan Lingyu’s disbelieving expression, Ruan Feng said, "Lingyu, our daughter has turned out to be so outstanding without our care. You should feel comforted and proud."
Ruan Lingyu didn’t know how to describe her feelings. She slowly stood up, muttering as she walked upstairs.
"Don’t mind me for now, let me take a moment. Shen Mianmian is Mianmian, how can this be?"
Just thinking about all she had done to Shen Mianmian, she found herself unable to face Mianmian.
Ruan Yiqian wanted to stop Ruan Lingyu but was held back by Ruan Feng.
"Let her take her time! It’s normal for her to struggle with accepting such a big revelation immediately." Google seaʀᴄh 𝘯𝘰𝘷𝘦𝘭•𝔣𝔦𝔯𝔢•𝓷𝓮𝓽
