Chapter 758: Xining, you know Mianmian too?
Within a week, Cheng Xining had already encountered Shen Mianmian for the second time. She felt that Shen Mianmian was like an unshakable ghost, clinging to Brother Nan in Licheng, and now in Beijing, had even cozied up to her cousin.
"Xining, you know Mianmian too?" Ruan Yiyang smiled, "It’s good that everyone is familiar with each other. Mianmian, don’t be too formal, we’re all family here."
Just as Cheng Xining was about to speak, He Nan stopped her with a glance. Annoyed, she stamped her foot and swallowed all her words back.
"Aunt Ruan, Uncle Ruan..."
Shen Mianmian didn’t bother with Cheng Xining but politely greeted the elders instead.
Cheng Xining’s eyes were nearly popping out, while Ruan Lingyu remained silent with a complex expression.
Within a week, she had encountered Shen Mianmian for the second time. Before hearing Cheng Xining talk about Shen Mianmian, she thought the girl was pretty and a good student, quite likable. But after knowing more, she began to see Mianmian as someone with deep scheming.
First, she ingratiated herself with He Nan, then acknowledged Yiyang as her god-brother. Suddenly, she was connected with two significant figures in Beijing. A nineteen-year-old girl with such capability spoke volumes.
This girl was far from simple.
Mother Ruan saw the off expressions of the two and knew there might be something she was unaware of, but being a smart woman, she showed nothing on her face, smiling as she took Shen Mianmian’s hand and led her into the house.
"Yiyang told us he had acknowledged a beautiful god-sister. Both his father and I were so delighted we kept telling him to bring you over for dinner, but he never had the time, so it was delayed until now."
