Chapter 857: Chapter 857: Has Xiaonan Gone Mad?

Ruan Yiqian took a deep breath, he just wanted to handle the immediate issue, so he diverted the conversation: "Mom, I will wait until tomorrow to go to my aunt’s house and have Xining admit to framing Mianmian at the mall, restoring Mianmian’s innocence."

"Do you have any evidence that it was Xining who did it?" Ruan Lingyu still stood by Cheng Xining, "Whatever Shen Mianmian says, Xiaonan just believes it, and you believe it too, right? Xining is the sister you’ve pampered since she was young, do you believe outsiders over her?"

No wonder Xining had been complaining recently that everyone doted on Shen Mianmian and not on her.

"I don’t just believe Mianmian, I also believe Xiaonan. Xiaonan wouldn’t come to me with baseless accusations," Ruan Yiqian said.

"What evidence do you have that proves it was Xining who framed Shen Mianmian? Just based on Shen Mianmian’s word?" Ruan Lingyu was very angry. When He Nan came to look for her, she had just mentioned the incident of Shen Mianmian stealing, and the atmosphere immediately stiffened.

She hadn’t expected her son to come and talk to her about the same issue.

Shen Mianmian really had some nerve.

Ruan Yiqian pursed his lips and said, "Xiaonan has already issued an ultimatum. If this matter is not resolved by tomorrow, he will personally go to my aunt’s house. Mom, you know Xiaonan’s temperament. If we wait for him to visit in person, the relationship between the He and Cheng families will be completely soured."

"Xiaonan must be crazy," Ruan Lingyu gasped with anger, "What is he trying to do for the sake of Shen Mianmian?"

"This matter was Xining’s fault in the first place. It’s only right for Xining to apologize. If we indulge Xining now, she will commit even more outrageous acts in the future. Who will cover for her then?"

Ruan Lingyu: "..."

Although she was angry that both her son and He Nan were protecting Shen Mianmian, she knew they wouldn’t falsely accuse Cheng Xining for no reason.

After thinking for a while, she said, "I will go with you. If it turns out it wasn’t Xining, Shen Mianmian must personally come and apologize to Xining."

"Let’s talk about it after we visit my aunt’s house!"

Ruan Yiqian stood up.

They arrived at the Cheng family’s home quickly. Upon hearing their purpose of visit, Cheng Xining immediately cried out, "Aunt, you dote on me the most. Are you siding with Shen Mianmian now, too? I was with you the whole day that day; we never parted. How could I have framed Shen Mianmian? She got caught stealing, and now she wants to pin it on me?"

She cried bitterly, as if truly wronged.

Seeing this, both Father Cheng and Mother Cheng felt heartbroken.

But Father Cheng was still rational. Heartbreak aside, he also knew that Ruan Yiqian wouldn’t accuse his daughter without any evidence.

"Xining, tell the truth, did you really do this?"

"Dad, you believe outsiders over your own daughter, don’t you?" Cheng Xining angrily stood up from the sofa, "What kind of spell has Shen Mianmian cast on you all, taking her side one after another? Am I even your biological daughter? Do you want to push me to death?"

Seeing her cry so bitterly, Mother Cheng’s protective instincts immediately surfaced. She quickly comforted Cheng Xining, "Xining, don’t get worked up. With mom here, no one will get to wrong you. What is Shen Mianmian, a country girl, to dare make you suffer? Although we don’t bully others, we won’t let others crap on our heads either."

After saying this, she turned to Father Cheng and reprimanded him, "You just believe whatever others say, are you trying to drive Xining to her death? Your own daughter, you don’t believe, but you believe a stranger, are you out of your mind?"
