Chapter 1005: Chapter 105 Gathering 2

Cheng Xining’s hand holding the red wine glass turned slightly pale, a hint of ruthlessness flashed in her eyes but she quickly masked it with a light smile, "You mustn’t misunderstand, He Nan and I are indeed childhood friends, yet our relationship is not what you think; I only regard him as an elder brother."

He Nan could never like her; Cheng Xining was certain of this.

Since that was the case, why should she admit her feelings for He Nan? To let these people think that she was the one rejected?

She would never do such a devaluing thing.

Upon hearing her words, the girls at the party exchanged glances. When everyone used to gather together, Cheng Xining never stopped talking about He Nan, making everyone believe that their families would be united in marriage. But this time, Cheng Xining unexpectedly severed her relation with He Nan.

Such behavior made everyone even more suspicious of the relationship between Shen Mianmian and He Nan.

Some girls, eager for gossip, continued to probe, "Xining, do you know who this Miss Shen is? She seems to have a strong background, quite extraordinary."

Cheng Xining’s mouth curled into a mocking smile, "One must not judge a book by its cover."

Everyone felt Cheng Xining really knew something, so they curiously looked at her, but she deliberately kept them in suspense.

"Speaking ill of someone behind their back is ultimately not nice; you will know in the future, I’d rather not say now."

Upon hearing this, everyone became even more curious, "Xining, do tell, we’re all curious."

"Right, Xining, we’re all so close here, and there are no outsiders; what is there to hide from us?"

"Xining, just tell us, if you don’t, it’s like you’re treating us as outsiders."

"Alright, alright, I’ll talk, but I don’t know much. Just make sure you don’t spread this around as coming from me," Cheng Xining said, seemingly unable to withstand their pestering.

"Don’t worry! We definitely won’t tell. Whoever spills the beans, I’m the first one to stop hanging out with her."

When one took the lead to assure, the rest of the girls also promised.

Achieving her goal, Cheng Xining then glanced at Shen Mianmian standing next to Fu Hua and said, "She is a country girl from Licheng, rumored to have been disowned by her foster parents due to stealing money from home. Somehow, using whatever means, He Nan supported her education, and she was fortunate enough to get into Beijing University. It seems she even starred in a movie recently that premiered during the Mid-Autumn Festival."

"Stole money?"

These girls, all daughters of prestigious families, immediately formed an opinion upon hearing Shen Mianmian stole money.

One girl speculated, "Why did Mrs. Fu bring her here? Could it be she plans to recognize her as a goddaughter or something?"

"I’m not sure about that; Auntie Fu never mentioned it. I only know that Auntie Fu initially had a bad impression of her. Later, whatever methods she used, Auntie Fu started treating her nicely," Cheng Xining said, appearing very detached, as if she were an outsider officially discussing these matters with no personal feelings involved.

Because of such demeanor, everyone felt that Cheng Xining’s words were very credible, forming a not-so-favorable opinion about Shen Mianmian, seeing her as very calculating. The earlier idea of going to greet her also dissipated.

Seeing everyone’s disgusted looks, Cheng Xining’s lips curled into a smile of a successful scheme.
