Chapter 1017: Chapter 1017: Doesn’t the Cheng Family Know?

Cheng Xining looked at Shen Mianmian, waiting to see her just as agitated as Cheng herself had once been, hoping to see Shen Mianmian heartbroken and distressed. She detested the way Shen Mianmian acted as if everything was under control.

In her eyes, Shen Mianmian’s demeanor was all an act, feigning calmness, pretending to be cultured. But deep down, she was just a country bumpkin with no real experience, yet pretending to be worldly.

Now, she was determined to tear away Shen Mianmian’s facade.

But after staring for a good while, the result disappointed her. Not only did Shen Mianmian not explode in anger, she actually laughed calmly.

"Thank you for sharing such important news with me. You’ve said what you wanted to say, so can you leave now?"

"..."

Cheng Xining watched Shen Mianmian in disbelief.

"Shen Mianmian, stop pretending. You must be hurting inside, right? Are you dying to confront Nan Ge now?"

"Think whatever you want!" Shen Mianmian said indifferently. "If it makes you feel better, then go ahead and think that."

Cheng Xining choked, staring at Shen Mianmian for a moment as if she had finally understood something, then suddenly laughed again.

"Shen Mianmian, I finally get it. No wonder you’re not upset or heartbroken. It turns out you never really liked Nan Ge. What you liked were his silhouette and his money."

Yang Xiaoxi couldn’t bear to listen anymore and couldn’t help but interject, "Cheng Xining, have you lost your mind?"

Cheng Xining couldn’t be bothered with Yang Xiaoxi, her gaze fixed on Shen Mianmian, trying to discern any clue from her expression.

Shen Mianmian smiled, "Cheng Xining, I know what you’re thinking. You really don’t need to go through all this. You’re beautiful and you should follow your own path. There’s no need to focus all your energy on picking fights with me."

"Who’s picking fights with you?" Cheng Xining became angry, "Shen Mianmian, you think too highly of yourself. There’s something you don’t know. I’ve already taken on a role in a movie called ’Autumn Oranges’, and it’s about to start shooting."

Shen Mianmian raised an eyebrow. "You took on ’Autumn Oranges’?"

Cheng Xining lifted her chin proudly, "Yes, don’t think you’re the only one who can act in movies. I’m telling you, I can too."

With that, she huffed, turned around, and walked out.

Watching Cheng Xining’s retreating figure, Shen Mianmian looked contemplative. Yang Xiaoxi, fearing that Shen Mianmian believed Cheng Xining’s inciting words, quickly said, "Mianmian, don’t believe her. She’s just jealous that He Ge treats you well. He Ge isn’t the type to change his feelings so easily."

Shen Mianmian came back to her senses and nodded. "I know. I didn’t believe her. I was just thinking about that movie she mentioned."

"Is there something wrong with that movie?" Yang Xiaoxi asked, relieved yet curious.

"I heard about this movie before, while I was on the set," Shen Mianmian paused before adding, "It’s quite a bold movie. For Cheng Xining to take on such a film as her debut, she’ll be labeled a certain way. It won’t be so easy to rebuild her reputation later on."

"Ah?"

Though Yang Xiaoxi didn’t quite understand, she knew that when Shen Mianmian said the movie was bold, it definitely was.

"Does the Cheng family know Cheng Xining took on this kind of movie?"

Shen Mianmian shook her head, "I’m not sure about that. Let her be!"

"Right, Cheng Xining is no good person. If she wants to act, then let her. It has nothing to do with us." Yang Xiaoxi thought for a moment and then said, "Cheng Xining is really malicious. It’s one thing to come here to show off, but she also tried to stir up trouble between you and He Ge."
