Chapter 1006 - 106 Gathering 3
Compared to Cheng Xining’s pride, Ruan Lingyu, who was chatting with others, had her expression growing increasingly unpleasant. Shen Mianmian, standing beside Fu Hua, was attracting a lot of attention.
Today, Shen Mianmian was dressed both nobly and beautifully. In this gathering, she was particularly eye-catching, and to say she was the most attractive wasn’t an exaggeration at all.
Since her entrance, Shen Mianmian had been by Fu Hua’s side the entire time. Their relationship appeared to be quite good. To the uninformed, they might have thought the two were mother and daughter. Yet since her arrival, apart from a few words Fu Hua had said to her, Shen Mianmian hadn’t even glanced her way, let alone greeted her.
Although her relationship with Shen Mianmian had always been strained, and there was no difference between them and strangers, she had no intention of reconciling with Shen Mianmian and had always thought this was for the best.
Nevertheless, seeing the harmonious interaction between Shen Mianmian and Fu Hua was uncomfortable for her.
Her daughter, whom she bore after ten months of pregnancy, didn’t recognize her but got along with someone else as though they were mother and daughter. No one would be pleased by this.
Ruan Lingyu was strong-willed and, despite feeling uncomfortable, refused to admit it, but she couldn’t prevent her face from becoming increasingly dark.
The person she was speaking to noticed her distraction and ill temper, so they found an excuse to leave and greet others.
Ruan Lingyu stood in place for two seconds before heading over to Fu Hua, who seemed to be enjoying her conversation with others, listening to them compliment Shen Mianmian on her beauty and intelligence, as if taking the praise for herself.
When Ruan Lingyu approached, Fu Hua and another society lady immediately ended their conversation and spoke with her. Ruan Lingyu chipped in a few words and then suggested to Fu Hua,
"Let’s go talk over there and leave the younger ones to have their fun!"
