Chapter 778 Negotiation 1
"I couldn’t," Shen Mianmian said with a faint smile, "Grandfather, I’m not that magnanimous. Besides, matters of the heart can’t be conceded. He’s not an object to be passed around at will; doing so would be disrespectful to him. In all the years I wasn’t around, he never fell for Miss Cheng. So, it’s not as if he’s bound to like Miss Cheng just because I’m out of the picture."
Shen Mianmian wasn’t the kind of person to take blame needlessly. Big Brother He hadn’t liked Cheng Xining and never dated her, so she couldn’t be considered as someone who had stolen Cheng Xining’s love.
"Your thinking is very clear, and that’s the right way to look at it," Old Master He said nodding in approval. "All right, you can leave us here since you have someone to meet. Go back and change into a pretty dress for your appointment!"
He specifically reminded her to change into a new outfit.
Shen Mianmian was amused by his words; though the old man was of age, his ideas were very modern.
However, when meeting a love rival, one does indeed need to dress more beautifully.
Thinking this, Shen Mianmian took Yang Xiaoxi back home first. As there was still plenty of time, she planned to dress up a bit before heading out and wouldn’t be late.
Watching the two walk away, Old Xu emerged from an alley nearby, familiar with the route, and helped Old Master He with his things as they headed back home together.
Once home, Old Master He immediately called He Nan. "I’ve heard that the Cheng Family girl has arranged to meet with the young lady you’re sponsoring at ’Meet You & Me’ café. You should handle this matter so they don’t stir up trouble and harm the harmony between the He and Cheng families."
"Understood."
