Chapter 1149 Press Conference
Ruan Lingyu said, "Mianmian is proud by nature. If she knew, she probably wouldn’t be willing to share Xiaonan."
"Aunt, you really don’t understand Mianmian. Right now, everyone thinks that Mianmian is Mrs. He. If Mianmian doesn’t marry Brother Nan, would people outside still respect her as they do now?" Cheng Xining continued, "Mianmian has been living comfortably these years, and she definitely wouldn’t want to go back to living a hard life. So even if she knew, she would surely marry Brother Nan."
"..." Ruan Lingyu was persuaded by Cheng Xining. Thinking it over carefully, it really seemed that way.
"Aunt, in fact, Mianmian and Brother Nan being together can be seen as a silver lining after hardship, a match made in heaven. I’m just worried that if Brother Nan’s affair with Tang Ling was to be exposed and confirmed in the future, it would affect the Ruan Family’s reputation," Cheng Xining feigned concern for the Ruan Family. "Think about it! If this gets out, where would the Ruan Family’s face be? Brother Nan and Tang Ling lived like a married couple for five years; when he comes back and marries Mianmian, to put it plainly, isn’t Mianmian just a continuation? It doesn’t sound good for a Ruan Family lady to be a replacement bride."
Her mixed truths and lies made Ruan Lingyu more and more uncomfortable.
"What should we do now?"
Whether Shen Mianmian was willing to be a replacement bride didn’t concern her, but the reputation of the Ruan Family had to be preserved.
Cheng Xining began to offer suggestions, "I think we should first find Tang Ling and understand the whole story. If that girl isn’t Brother Nan’s daughter, then naturally, that would be best. But if she is, I think we need to think long-term about this. At the very least, we should let the He Family arrange something for Tang Ling to prevent her from suddenly causing trouble."
Ruan Lingyu felt that Cheng Xining made a lot of sense, but she still had one question, "How do we know where to find Tang Ling?"
"That’s easy peasy. I know where Tang Ling’s family lives. Aunt, how about I accompany you there tomorrow?"
