Chapter 765 Observing Carefully
Leaving the Ruan Family, Shen Mianmian took a long sigh of relief. He Nan turned his head to look at her, his eyes twinkling with amusement, "Feeling nervous?"
"Pretty much." Shen Mianmian nodded. "Brother Yiqian’s mother doesn’t like me much, Miss Cheng doesn’t like me either, but Brother Yiyang’s family is very amiable."
When the three of them arrived in the kitchen, it was clear that Ruan Lingyu and Cheng Xining must have spoken to Mother Ruan, but when she came out, she was still very enthusiastic towards her, which comforted Shen Mianmian and finally made her understand why Elder Brother He had suggested she acknowledge Ruan Yiyang as her honorary brother instead of Ruan Yiqian.
Mother Ruan and Father Ruan were easier to get along with.
He Nan chuckled softly, "You’ve observed quite carefully."
"Elder Brother He, did you ask me to acknowledge Ruan Yiyang as my honorary brother because his family is more amiable?" Although she guessed as much, Shen Mianmian couldn’t help but ask.
He Nan nodded, "It’s not just that. The Ruan Family once had a younger daughter who went missing at a bit over two years old. The couple’s relationship has been strained for years, and after Ruan Lingyu lost her daughter, she doted on Cheng Xining as if she were her own flesh and blood, perhaps a bit overly so. With Cheng Xining not getting along with you, if you were to acknowledge Yiqian as your honorary brother, you would unintentionally stir up a lot of unnecessary trouble."
"Elder Brother He, I’ve heard you mention Miss Ruan of the Ruan Family several times; can you tell me about her? What kind of little girl was she?"
