Chapter 1039: Chapter 1039: Falling for Her Scheme?

Cheng Xining was somewhat speechless. How old were these people, still dredging up the past?

She felt contempt in her heart, but her mouth was full of praise, "Aunt, Uncle truly cares for you in his heart. He is eager to recognize Mianmian again, but that’s only because he wants to make up for his past mistakes. Think about it! If he hadn’t lost Mianmian back then, she wouldn’t have turned out like this. So, Uncle must feel very guilty and wants to make amends for the errors he committed back then."

Ruan Lingyu huffed heavily, "Making amends for mistakes, but why only make amends for Shen Mianmian? Have my years been easy? Ever since the day Mianmian was lost, when have I had a good night’s sleep? Now that Mianmian has become like this, he only thinks of making it up to Mianmian. Who has ever sympathized with the hardships I’ve suffered over the years?"

She had thought that finding her daughter would make the whole family happy, but who would have guessed that now her husband was causing a scene about getting a divorce, and her son was also critical of her.

She had lived half her life, what had she lived for?

"Aunt, I know you’ve suffered," Cheng Xining hugged her, adding fuel to the fire, "but have you ever thought, if you divorce Uncle, wouldn’t you be falling right into Shen Mianmian’s trap?"

"Into her trap?"

Ruan Lingyu didn’t understand Cheng Xining’s implication.

"Aunt, I really shouldn’t be speaking about this. After all, you are mother and daughter, but things have gotten to this point. Seeing you about to divorce Uncle is really upsetting to me."

Cheng Xining appeared genuinely sympathetic towards Ruan Lingyu, which made Ruan feel much better.

Her husband and son didn’t understand her, Fu Hua also treated Shen Mianmian like his own daughter, always explaining on Mianmian’s behalf whenever she said anything against her, urging her to understand Mianmian.

Now, she felt she had no one to talk to about her grievances, Cheng Xining was her last source of warmth.

"Xining, whatever you have to say, just tell me! If even you don’t speak the truth to me, then I truly don’t have anyone close by my side."

Cheng Xining, as though she really cared for Ruan Lingyu, said, "Aunt, since you put it that way, I’ll just tell you the truth! Actually, I suspect that Mianmian wants you and Uncle to divorce."

"Why would you say that?" Ruan Lingyu’s face grew stern.

Cheng Xining explained, "Think about it! If you two divorce, nobody will be there to stop her from being Miss Ruan. She says she doesn’t want to recognize you, but how nice is she to Uncle? She’s always acting like the perfect daughter in front of Uncle, it’s only a matter of time before she starts calling him ’Dad’ directly."

"The Ruan Family naturally has few daughters, and once she becomes Miss Ruan again, won’t everyone be treating her like the apple of their eye? She won’t have to face you, and within the Ruan Family, it really will be whatever she says goes. I bet if she asks for the moon and stars, Uncle and Brother Yiqian would pluck them from the sky for her. Conversely, you’d be all alone on the outside."

Ruan Lingyu seemed to believe Cheng Xining’s words, her face grew long with concern, "She’s actually that calculating. I almost fell for it."

"Aunt, Mianmian can score such good grades, and she has Uncle and Brother Fu under her thumb. Do you think it’s possible she has no schemes?" Cheng Xining cautiously said, "I really shouldn’t be saying this, after all, you are mother and daughter, and I had a bad relationship with Mianmian in the past. If Uncle found out, he would definitely say I’m instigating discord, but seeing that you’re about to divorce Uncle, I’m really very worried. I’m afraid you’re being tricked."
