"Who said I don’t plan to recognize her?" Ruan Lingyu sighed, "I only said her nature is not good, she’s impolite to others. It’s because we weren’t there for her over the years, no one taught her, which resulted in her developing this nature. Once we bring her back, we can properly educate her."
Ruan Lingyu thought it over and since it was their neglect in the past that contributed to Shen Mianmian developing her current character, then they should properly guide her in the future.
Ruan Feng frowned, "Lingyu, I think you really need to change your thinking."
"Change what?" Ruan Lingyu asked.
"For all these years, we failed to take care of Mianmian, and you know how hard she’s had it. Now that we’ve finally found her, if you start imposing discipline on her as a mother, it will only make Mianmian more resistant to us. Moreover, there’s been a misunderstanding between you and Mianmian. Besides, Mianmian is outstanding. I think there’s no need for us to interfere too much in her life."
Although he had only met Shen Mianmian once, he could tell from Grandpa He’s account that Shen Mianmian was a very outstanding child. Nobody’s perfect, so even if Mianmian has some flaws, as long as they don’t go against common sense, what does it matter?
As parents, what they should do is compensate for the motherly and fatherly love that Mianmian has missed out on. Official source ıs 𝗇𝗈𝗏𝖾𝗅✦𝖿𝗂𝗋𝖾✦𝗇𝖾𝗍
"Are you saying I’m not fit to educate her?" Ruan Lingyu grew angry, "I carried her for ten months and gave birth to her. Do you think I don’t even have the right to teach her a little?"
"That’s not what I mean,"
Ruan Feng wanted to explain, but Ruan Lingyu did not give him the chance.
"Enough, don’t say anymore, I understand what you mean. You simply feel guilty about losing her before and want to make it up to her. But let me tell you, compensating her and educating her are two different things."
"You..." Ruan Feng felt he couldn’t reason with her and didn’t bother to continue, "Lingyu, you’re upset now, and I don’t want to argue with you. Think about it carefully. For the next few days, don’t go looking for Mianmian."
After speaking, he walked straight out of the room.
Over the years, Ruan Lingyu had always been preoccupied with finding her daughter. He had thought that once they found her, Ruan Lingyu would give back all the motherly love her daughter missed, but he had never anticipated Ruan Lingyu would act .
Let alone Shen Mianmian, he himself would find it unacceptable.
Meanwhile, Ruan Yiqian, who had no idea that his parents were once again at odds, went straight to He Nan’s company, only to find that He Nan wasn’t there. He waited in the office until after four in the afternoon when He Nan finally returned from Shen Mianmian’s place.
As soon as He Nan entered, Ruan Yiqian’s first words were, "Xiaonan, the test results are in, Mianmian is indeed Mianmian."
He Nan wasn’t surprised by this result at all but he slightly furrowed his brows, asking, "What do you guys plan to do?"
"My dad and I have already discussed it. Telling Mianmian the truth abruptly would definitely meet with her resistance. We’ll let my dad spend some time with her first, and then slowly reveal everything to her after the New Year."
Mianmian is very clever. From the details, she will surely pick up on something. By the time they tell her, she probably won’t be too surprised.
"I don’t want to repeat what I’ve said before," He Nan said gravely.
Knowing that Shen Mianmian was indeed his sister, Ruan Yiqian spoke with more conviction now, "Xiaonan, I am Mianmian’s birth brother after all. It’s only a matter of time before we recognize each other. Why do you insist that Mianmian’s recognition of us will impact her negatively?"
