Chapter 813: Chapter 813: Did You Go to See Shen Mianmian a Few Days Ago?

Seeing the evident misunderstanding, Ruan Yiqian hurriedly explained, "I just saw a leaf in her hair and wanted to help her take it off, I wasn’t trying to hit her."

Yang Xiaoxi glanced at Shen Mianmian’s hair and indeed there was a leaf, which put her mind at ease this time.

Ruan Yiqian’s plan to pull on her hair under the guise of an opportunity had failed, so he had to leave for now. Fortunately, this matter wasn’t urgent, and if all else failed, he could wait until He Nan returned and ask for his help.

With a silent sigh, Ruan Yiqian, filled with concerns, left Shen Mianmian’s residence.

No sooner had he left than Yang Xiaoxi said, "Mianmian, did you feel that Ruan Yiqian was behaving strangely today?"

Shen Mianmian’s gaze flickered slightly, and since even Yang Xiaoxi had noticed, it seemed it was not just her misperception. After thinking for a bit, she said, "Maybe he is changing his strategy, trying to find another way to persuade me to leave Brother He!"

Otherwise, she really couldn’t understand Ruan Yiqian’s purpose in doing this.

Ruan Yiqian returned home with a heavy heart. Ruan Lingyu was watching TV in the living room, and upon seeing him suddenly come back, Ruan Lingyu quickly went up to him, "Yiqian, why did you go for so long this time? Did something go wrong with business?"

"No."

Ruan Yiqian shook his head and pulled Ruan Lingyu to sit on the couch. Seeing the situation, Ruan Lingyu guessed that Ruan Yiqian had something important to tell her.

Indeed, as soon as the two sat down, Ruan Yiqian said, "Mom, did you go to see Shen Mianmian a few days ago?"

Upon mentioning Shen Mianmian, Ruan Lingyu’s face changed instantly, "That young girl is too cunning for her age. I told her to cut ties with Xiaonan and offered to sponsor her education, but she had the audacity to say she’s a small business owner, didn’t need our sponsorship, and also refused to stop seeing Xiaonan. I’m considering whether to discuss this with Xiaohua. It won’t be a good thing if those two continue their association."

Ruan Yiqian pursed his lips, "Besides these, did you say anything else?"

Ruan Lingyu thought for a moment and said, "I told her that she’s a countrysider with poor upbringing because her parents didn’t educate her well. But she’s quite articulate, directly bringing up Mianmian. She asked what I would do if Mianmian encountered someone like me, hinting that I should accumulate more virtue. This girl is really not simple."

Ruan Lingyu could not help but feel infuriated every time she thought about Shen Mianmian bringing up her daughter.

Ruan Yiqian frowned, feeling that what Ruan Lingyu did was out of line. With the way they were acting, it was odd for Mianmian to even consider acknowledging them in the future.

But what’s done was done, and there was no point in belaboring the matter, so he could only say, "Mom, don’t go looking for trouble with Mianmian recently. If you run into her, try to be nicer to her. In fact, what Mianmian said is correct. If Mianmian also faced such an issue and people used their social status as an excuse to stop her from being with someone she likes, Mianmian would definitely feel helpless and upset too."

"How could she compare herself with Mianmian?" Perhaps because of saying those things to Shen Mianmian, Ruan Lingyu herself also felt somewhat guilty, so when she heard him make such a comparison, Ruan Lingyu was not pleased.

"Mom, don’t get worked up. Just be nicer to Mianmian the next time you see her, that’s all. If you can’t do that, then don’t bother her." Since the DNA test results hadn’t come out, Ruan Yiqian couldn’t just tell Ruan Lingyu the truth.

If it turned out to be a false alarm, the impact would be too significant, and Shen Mianmian would be an innocent victim caught in the crossfire.

"Yiqian, why are you suddenly taking Shen Mianmian’s side?" Ruan Lingyu sensed something was off and looked at him with puzzlement.

Her son usually didn’t like to meddle in others’ affairs, so for him to say all this now was indeed quite strange.
