Chapter 1040: Chapter 1040: You Don’t Want a Divorce Now, Do You?

Ruan Lingyu’s complexion gradually darkened, "Xining, I’m thankful for your reminder; otherwise, I would have truly been deceived. To take over control of the Ruan Family, it would only be over my dead body. As long as I’m still in the Ruan Family, I will never let her get her way."

Thinking about how her own daughter was constantly scheming against her, Ruan Lingyu felt a chill in her heart.

Now that both her son and husband were siding with Shen Mianmian, she felt utterly powerless. However, she wouldn’t accept Shen Mianmian unless she came forth with a proper attitude to amend her ways and took substantive action. Only then would she consider whether to forgive Shen Mianmian or not.

"Niece, it’s good as long as you don’t think I’m being too nosy," Cheng Xining said. "Now that we’ve found Mianmian, I really hope your family can get along well. Although I had misunderstandings with her before, I admit it was my fault. But I’ve let it go now. I’m not attracted to Nan ge anymore. There are plenty of good men in the world; I don’t need to degrade myself for someone who doesn’t care about me."

"It’s good that you’ve come to terms with it," Ruan Lingyu’s face looked a bit better. "If she were half as sensible as you, I wouldn’t be so furious."

Cheng Xining cooed, "Aunt, you’ve decided against the divorce, haven’t you?"

Ruan Lingyu sighed, "I was just speaking in anger earlier. At my age, why get a divorce? Anyway, your uncle has already moved out. Divorced or not, life goes on the same, and I can’t let Shen Mianmian have the satisfaction."

The last sentence was nearly uttered through clenched teeth by Ruan Lingyu.

Cheng Xining playfully said, "Aunt, it’s great that you’re feeling better. You absolutely can’t divorce uncle. I’ve been calling you ’aunt’ for so many years; if you got a divorce, I wouldn’t even know what to call you."

Ruan Lingyu laughed, "You! You think differently from others."

After tapping Cheng Xining’s forehead, Ruan Lingyu suddenly remembered something and asked, "Didn’t you say last time that you took on a role in a film that’s about to start shooting? When does filming begin?"

Cheng Xining said proudly, "Soon, in a few days."

"I’ve been rather idle lately, so how about I accompany you to the set?" Ruan Lingyu suggested.

Cheng Xining’s eyes flickered as she quickly declined, "Aunt, please don’t come. With you watching, I won’t even know how to act. I’ll feel embarrassed. It’s my first time, and I’m not thick-skinned."

The scale of the film was quite bold, and Cheng Xining knew if Ruan Lingyu found out, she would definitely oppose her continuing the shoot.

The director had said it was for art’s sake, and that this film, once released, was bound to be a hit.

Hearing this, Ruan Lingyu became serious, "Xining, did you read the script thoroughly when you took on the film? It’s not too provocative, is it?"

Ruan Lingyu knew a little about the entertainment industry. Some parts in films were quite explicit, and she didn’t want Cheng Xining getting involved in such projects, which she considered disgraceful.

"Aunt, don’t worry! I won’t take on any films with excessive content," Cheng Xining promised earnestly. "The films I take are all art films. It’s Mianmian, though; I heard that the film she did before had quite the scope, including scenes with the male and female leads in bed. But it’s done and dusted now; talking about it is pointless."

Upon hearing that Shen Mianmian had taken on such a film, Ruan Lingyu’s face turned ugly again, "I’ll pretend I never had her. I won’t interfere in her affairs from now on."

Cheng Xining sighed, "Aunt, let’s not talk about her. You’ve been busy until now and haven’t eaten dinner. Are you hungry? Let’s go eat."

"Let’s go!"

Ruan Lingyu glanced back at the hospital, thinking that she wouldn’t come to see Ruan Feng for the next few days.
