Chapter 741: Mother He 2
Fu Hua frowned. "Xining, are you sure Xiaonan is still in contact with her now?"
Cheng Xining nodded. "Auntie Fu, she definitely has contact with Brother Nan. With such a strong backer like him, she wouldn’t give up so easily. Without Brother Nan, even if she got accepted into this school, she wouldn’t have the money to attend."
Shen Mianmian was becoming more and more beautiful, and she was growing up as well. Since Brother Nan treated her so well, to prevent anything from happening between them, it was essential to involve Fu Hua.
Seeing that Fu Hua didn’t look too pleased, Ruan Lingyu added, "Xiaonan probably supported her because she felt pity for her and because she’s a child who loves to study. Xiaonan is a child with his own mind; there might be something we don’t know about."
How could auntie speak up for a stranger?
Cheng Xining was somewhat unhappy inside and deliberately made the situation sound more serious. "Brother Nan was simply fooled by her appearance. I went to Licheng twice and saw her both times. She just stays at Brother Nan’s place and won’t leave, clinging to him to rent her a place right across from his house. She was only sixteen or seventeen at that time, and she was already so scheming. Now, it goes without saying."
"What? You never mentioned this before?" This time Ruan Lingyu frowned. Her thinking was rather traditional; she thought it inappropriate for a young girl to cling to an older man, and it didn’t sound good no matter where it was discussed.
Besides, her niece liked He Nan, and it seemed inevitable that the two families would become related by marriage. Such an incident was indeed not good.
"I was worried about making you anxious, and Brother Yiqian didn’t let me speak rashly," Cheng Xining said with some grievance.
Before, she had never taken Shen Mianmian seriously, but after seeing her in Beijing this time, she suddenly felt a strong sense of crisis.
