Chapter 759: Going to the Ruan Family
Thinking there might be something she didn’t know about, Mother Ruan made an excuse to have Ruan Lingyu and Cheng Xining help in the kitchen, hoping to use the opportunity to inquire about the situation.
Understanding her intention, Ruan Lingyu and Cheng Xining headed to the kitchen together.
"Sister-in-law, Xining, you two knew Mianmian before?" Mother Ruan tentatively asked.
"We met her once at the mall last week, and from what I heard, she’s a university student sponsored by Xiaonan. Unexpectedly, Yiyang also knows her and even considers her his sworn sister. That girl is no simple character!"
Ruan Lingyi spoke meaningfully, a girl of just eighteen or nineteen, yet somehow connected to two prestigious young men from Beijing. Who would believe that she has no ulterior motives?
It was indisputable that the girl was not as innocent as she appeared.
Mother Ruan felt that judging a person solely based on this was a bit too one-sided, "She’s a good student, and it’s not too far-fetched for Xiaonan to sponsor her out of appreciation for her talent. Could there be some misunderstanding here? I just noticed Xiaonan didn’t seem to treat her with any particular interest, just as a little sister, right?"
He Nan was a child they had watched grow up, always sensible, which is why Mother Ruan felt at ease with Yiyang following him. She believed that if He Nan thought highly of a young girl, she must be good.
"Aunt, you’re not aware of Shen Mianmian’s true colors." Cheng Xining became slightly agitated, defending Shen Mianmian, "Shen Mianmian is very cunning. Her study habits are good, but her character is not. That’s why her adoptive parents don’t want her anymore. Nan and my cousin both got fooled by her looks. As an orphan from the countryside, where does she get her income? Instead of living frugally, she wants to keep up with the Joneses, dressing like a young lady, clinging to Nan for a free ride. Do you think such a person can be good?"
