Chapter 763: Chapter 763: Sister-in-law, what do you think about this matter?

The three returned to the living room, where Cheng Xining was still fuming. Ruan Lingyu touched her hair and said, "Alright! Don’t be angry anymore, Xiaonan is a sensible child, and I believe he knows his limits. There are many beautiful women in the world, but not just anyone can become the bride of the He Family. Even if Xiaonan really likes her, your Aunt Fu wouldn’t agree."

It may not be certain that He Nan will marry Cheng Xining, but a girl like Shen Mianmian is not qualified to marry into the He Family, which is beyond doubt.

"That’s true, but seeing how close she is with Brother Nan, I just can’t be happy," said Cheng Xining, taking the hands of Ruan Lingyu and Ruan’s mother. "Big Aunt, Little Aunt, can you talk to Aunt Fu and ask her to stop Brother Nan from associating with Shen Mianmian? Everyone knows Shen Mianmian is up to no good."

If this continues and Brother Nan really falls for Shen Mianmian, and the two have to get married because of a child, Aunt Fu would have to agree even if she didn’t want to.

Ruan Lingyu looked troubled. Although she didn’t like Shen Mianmian, thinking she was too shrewd, she didn’t have the authority to meddle in the affairs of the He Family. And everyone had seen how much He Nan was protecting Shen Mianmian.

Ruan’s mother spoke up, "Xining, we all know you like Xiaonan, but no matter how much you like him, we can’t interfere in the He Family’s matters. We shouldn’t point fingers at what the He Family does, and your Aunt Fu doesn’t like people who do that."

The Ruan Family and the He Family have been on good terms for generations because both families have reputable characters and have never meddled unnecessarily in others’ family affairs.

This was an unspoken understanding amongst them.

"Are you all really willing to just sit back and watch Brother Nan and Shen Mianmian get closer, and watch her steal Brother Nan from me?" Cheng Xining felt that her Little Aunt had changed. "Little Aunt, you used to dote on me, always taking my side, but now that you’ve met Shen Mianmian, you start taking her side. Is it because she’s your goddaughter, so now you dote on her instead?"

The relationship between Shen Mianmian and Brother Nan was almost out of control, and the Little Aunt liked Shen Mianmian so much. Cheng Xining felt that Shen Mianmian was slowly replacing her.

"What nonsense are you talking about?" Ruan’s mother scolded lightly with a stern look. "You’re my niece, who else would I dote on but you?"

"Then why do you always speak up for her?" Cheng Xining asked.

"I’m not speaking up for her; I’m stating objective facts," Ruan’s mother said exasperatedly. Her niece had been spoiled too much, to the point where she couldn’t grasp the bigger picture.

"I don’t like to listen to the facts," Cheng Xining pouted. "Little Aunt, you need to make it clear, no matter how outstanding Shen Mianmian is, she’s not your niece! I’m the one you’ve watched grow up."

Ruan’s mother sighed helplessly and looked towards Ruan Lingyu. "Sister-in-law, what do you think about this matter?"

"I don’t have a good impression of that girl, but you’re right, we definitely wouldn’t stoop to gossiping behind her back," Ruan Lingyu said, looking at Cheng Xining. "Xining, although everyone has high hopes for you and Xiaonan, we can’t force these things. It’s better if you read more books and don’t obsess over it."

Then, changing the subject, she added, "I heard recently that a well-known director has taken an interest in you for a film role. How did that go?"

Ruan’s mother also looked at Cheng Xining with curiosity, "Is that so? The person must think Xining is very beautiful and suitable to be a screen actress, right?"

Cheng Xining scoffed with disdain, "Indeed there was a famous director, something Xu Feng, who had made two or three very popular films before. I flatly rejected him. I don’t want to be an actress at all; it’s too undignified."
