Chapter 862: Chapter 862 Appear 3

Mr. Cheng had a more far-sighted view than Mrs. Cheng and Cheng Xining. If this matter could be handled quietly, it would be best. But now Ruan Yiqian had made things very clear, and there was only one path to take.

Frankly speaking, Ruan Yiqian’s stepping in to help wasn’t about being biased against his own, but about giving face to their family.

If it had been He Nan dealing with this issue, he wouldn’t have listened to their family’s complaints for so long. He had already seen the truth for what it was; Cheng Xining was still making a fuss. It seemed that all these years, they had indeed spoiled their daughter too much.

"Dad..."

Cheng Xining, covering her face, looked at Mr. Cheng in disbelief, yet she dared not make any more trouble.

Die, she definitely didn’t dare to die. Born into such a good family, with an abundance of superiority from childhood and so many people who doted on her, she would have to be crazy to choose death.

Mrs. Cheng, seeing Mr. Cheng furious, also didn’t dare to utter a word.

Ruan Lingyu, observing the situation, turned to Ruan Yiqian and said, "Yiqian, if we go directly to the mall and say that Xining falsely accused Shen Mianmian, it definitely won’t work. It would have too much of an impact on Xining. How about this instead: we say that Xining saw a piece of clothing on the ground and thought it was Shen Mianmian’s, so she put it in her bag. What do you think? This way, it clears Shen Mianmian’s name and spares Xining some embarrassment as well."

Upon hearing this, both Mr. and Mrs. Cheng’s eyes lit up, while Cheng Xining still looked shocked. But she also knew that now, she had to let them arrange things.

"We can only do this," Ruan Yiqian nodded, essentially agreeing to the idea.

After all, he had watched Cheng Xining grow up and truly cared for her; he didn’t want to be too heartless.

Upon hearing this, everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

With a grim expression, Mr. Cheng said to Mrs. Cheng, "First thing tomorrow morning, you take Xining to the mall and handle this matter. Don’t make Yiqian stuck in the middle and uncomfortable."

"Understood."

Mrs. Cheng nodded, not too pleased.

Even though she knew it wasn’t Ruan Yiqian’s fault, she still held a significant grudge against him in her heart.

"Since you’ve all made your decision, we’ll be heading back now," Ruan Yiqian didn’t want to stay at the Cheng family’s house any longer. Just seeing Cheng Xining made him think of the scene of Shen Mianmian being framed, which distressed him deeply.

After leaving the Cheng family’s home, Ruan Yiqian took Ruan Lingyu back to their house.

After some thought, Ruan Yiqian decided to talk to Ruan Lingyu again about Shen Mianmian, "Mom, if you don’t like Mianmian, just pretend you didn’t see her next time. There’s no need to deliberately target her. She’s a young girl with neither father nor mother, quite pitiful."

Ruan Yiqian knew that according to Shen Mianmian’s temperament, she would never provoke Ruan Lingyu or Cheng Xining on her own initiative.

If it hadn’t been for their excessive actions, Shen Mianmian wouldn’t have fought back.

About the misdeeds of Cheng Xining towards Shen Mianmian, even Ruan Lingyu found them unreasonable. She sighed and said, "I don’t like her, but I didn’t target her intentionally. I wasn’t aware of what Xining was doing."

If she had known, she certainly wouldn’t have allowed Cheng Xining to do such a thing. She did have that moral baseline.

Ruan Yiqian nodded, "I’ll call dad."

Upon hearing this, Ruan Lingyu’s face tensed slightly, then she said, "I’ll go to my room to rest for a while."

After speaking, she went upstairs.

Watching her back, Ruan Yiqian had a complex expression. If Shen Mianmian really was Mianmian, his mother would probably regret everything that she had done to Mianmian now.
