Chapter 796: Chapter 796: The Haunted Meilin Garden 1

In the morning, Ruan Yiqian came to see him, and in the afternoon, Ruan Lingyu came to see him too. He was really going to go insane. At this rate, his legs would break from all the running.

"Auntie Ruan, please take a seat."

Shen Mianmian gestured for Ruan Lingyu to sit on the stone bench. Ruan Lingyu sat down with a cool expression, graceful and elegant. She looked around the environment and asked, "Do you live here by yourself?"

When Cheng Xining said Shen Mianmian was living here, she was somewhat doubtful, thinking that Xiaonan, even if he were to help Mianmian, would not possibly rent her such a nice place. Now it looked like, the relationship between the two was clearly not as simple as it appeared on the surface.

"And my classmate, Yang Xiaoxi," Shen Mianmian told the truth.

As soon as her voice fell, Yang Xiaoxi came out of the kitchen, "Mianmian, who is..."

Yang Xiaoxi stopped mid-sentence when she clearly saw Ruan Lingyu, her heart skipped a beat. Ruan Lingyu was here to give Mianmian trouble!

Seeing that there was someone else here, Ruan Lingyu felt it was inconvenient to speak, so she said, "Would it be convenient to join me for some afternoon tea outside?"

Understanding her meaning, Shen Mianmian nodded, "Okay."

"Mianmian, I’ll come with you two." Seeing that Shen Mianmian was going out with Ruan Lingyu, Yang Xiaoxi was worried. Ruan Lingyu looked like she wasn’t easy to deal with; what if she bullied Mianmian?

"No need, just watch some TV at home. I’ll be back soon."

Knowing Ruan Lingyu didn’t want Yang Xiaoxi to come along, Shen Mianmian refused Yang Xiaoxi’s offer to accompany her.

"Then be careful!" Yang Xiaoxi was still worried as she cautioned. The Ruan family, after all, meddled far too much in affairs that clearly had nothing to do with them.

...

On the other hand, Cheng Feiyang, who had just left Shen Mianmian’s place, had only just entered the courtyard when Cheng Xining rushed out of the house, "Feiyang, what was Shen Mianmian’s reaction when she saw Auntie? Is she scared?"

"I don’t know, I left as I reached the doorstep." Cheng Feiyang was not too happy. If Cheng Xining weren’t still at his home, he would have already run off. He was afraid that in a while, Cheng Xining’s smaller aunt would also come over.

They were all reputable figures, using their status to bully a lone orphan— it was really too much.

"Why didn’t you watch and understand the situation before coming back?" Cheng Xining was somewhat angry, "How does a person like her deserve to live in such a place? After Aunt Ruan talks to her, she should just move out of here."

"This place might not necessarily have been rented by He Nan." Cheng Feiyang spoke a word of conscience, "She has made some money from her business. Perhaps she’s rented it with her own money, and He Nan merely helped her to find the place."

"How much money can she make from a business?" Cheng Xining was skeptical, "Just a young girl like her, where would she get the capital to start a business? Isn’t it all thanks to Nan’s help?"

"That’s not necessarily true." Now in this society, just by doing a bit of small business, one could earn quite well. "Big sister, you don’t know because you’re not at our school, but Shen Mianmian is considered quite wealthy among the students. She’s been inquiring where to buy haunted houses to purchase. I suspect she wants to buy a house in Beijing, but since she doesn’t have enough money, she wants to buy a haunted house, which is cheaper after all."

If He Nan had really been helping, Shen Mianmian wouldn’t be considering buying a haunted house, which suggested she didn’t want to rely on He Nan.

"Have you also been deceived by her?" Seeing Cheng Feiyang speaking for Shen Mianmian, Cheng Xining’s annoyance flared, "Nan is not a fool. Even if he was deceived by her, she could at most swindle some small change from him. How could he possibly give her an apartment?"
