Chapter 822: Chapter 822: Is it because of Shen Mianmian’s matter?

"..." Ruan Yiqian was startled by his words, "I too feel heartache for Mianmian, which is why I want to compensate her. I know Mianmian must have some reservations, and might not accept this for a while, but she is my sister, and I believe that someday, she will forgive us."

Ruan Yiqian was very confident, believing that as long as they treated Mianmian well, she would eventually accept them.

"What if she isn’t Mianmian?" He Nan looked seriously at Ruan Yiqian and said, "You changed your attitude towards her because she might be Mianmian, and started treating her well. If she isn’t, naturally you will change your attitude again. She hasn’t done anything yet she is being affected by this situation, she is completely innocent, why should she bear all this?"

Shen Mianmian never liked to bring up the matter of finding her parents and always acted strong, but He Nan was very clear that deep inside, she was longing for familial affection.

Yet her relatives criticized her for being an orphan, how could she accept that?

Mianmian was only nineteen years old, she shouldn’t have to bear so much. She just wanted to quietly finish university; let her quietly finish university first.

Ruan Yiqian said, "It is considering this point that I am only telling you for now; let’s wait for the DNA test results before discussing the specifics."

Fearing that He Nan might still disagree, he added, "Xiaonan, I know you are doing this for Mianmian’s good. I promise, even if the results confirm she is my sister, I won’t tell Mianmian about it without your approval."

He could first build a good relationship with Mianmian, change the impression he had left on her previously, and when their relationship is better and Mianmian can accept it, then it wouldn’t be too late to reveal the truth.

"You really don’t understand her temperament at all," He Nan scoffed coldly.

Despite all the persuasion, He Nan was unhelpful, and Ruan Yiqian lost his patience, "Xiaonan, don’t forget, it was I who first suspected that Mianmian was Mianmian, and it was you who misled me. Otherwise, I wouldn’t have left such a bad impression on Mianmian."

Ruan Yiqian was not one to shirk responsibility or dwell on the past, but for his sister, he didn’t mind doing so.

After searching for more than a decade, to finally have confirmed news, how could he wait several more years?

Before He Nan could respond, the voice of Ruan Lingyu suddenly came from the stairway, "Xiaonan, it’s so late, why have you come?"

"Aunt Ruan."

He Nan called out faintly.

"Mom, why haven’t you gone to sleep yet?" Seeing that Ruan Lingyu’s expression was normal, Ruan Yiqian knew she hadn’t heard their conversation and he breathed a sigh of relief.

He couldn’t divulge the matter before confirming whether Shen Mianmian was indeed Mianmian, because he was certain that if Ruan Lingyu knew Shen Mianmian might be Ruan Mianmian, she wouldn’t be able to remain calm like him.

If the situation escalated, and it turned out to be a misunderstanding, Shen Mianmian was indeed an innocent victim.

Then, Ruan Lingyu would only despise Shen Mianmian even more.

"I got up for some water and saw the lights on downstairs, so I came down to check," Ruan Lingyu walked down the stairs, glanced at He Nan, noticed his unusual cold demeanor, and upon recalling the previous incident about looking for Shen Mianmian, she asked, "Xiaonan, you came here so late, is it because of Shen Mianmian?"

Ruan Yiqian and He Nan both frowned at the same time, thinking Ruan Lingyu might have really heard something.

Seeing their expressions align, Ruan Lingyu thought she had guessed right, her expression suddenly shifted, "Xiaonan, I know my visit to Mianmian was somewhat abrupt, but that girl is quite articulate, shows no respect for elders, and isn’t willing to suffer any loss. What did she tell you? Did she say I was going to complain to your family?"
