Chapter 859 was done by her.
Ruan Yiqian’s words shook Cheng Xining to her core, her facial complexion instantly transformed, and the brazen confidence she had just displayed evanished.
Cheng Xining’s parents’ expressions also shifted abruptly.
With He Nan at the helm of the He Family, his temperament was well-known to all. If he personally intervened in the matter, the relationship between the two families would likely become exceedingly rigid.
If it truly was Cheng Xining who had done this, a fallout with the He Family would mean she couldn’t escape the consequences of her actions.
Considering all aspects, if Cheng Xining was responsible, it would be best to resolve the issue without involving He Nan. After all, Ruan Yiqian was Cheng Xining’s brother and would undoubtedly consider her welfare.
He wouldn’t let the situation become too dire.
Cheng Xining’s father’s face became gravely serious as he glared at her, saying, "Xining, tell us the truth, did you do it or not?"
Cheng Xining’s mother also realized the gravity of the situation and, gripping her daughter’s hand, asked, "Xining, if it really was you, just admit it. Your father and I will help you smooth things over. We won’t let you suffer, I know that if you did this, it was only because Shen Mianmian forced you into a corner."
Hearing her mother’s doting words, both Ruan Lingyu and Ruan Yiqian frowned. Cheng Xining’s character had become what it was now largely because of her mother’s influence.
