Chapter 947: Chapter 947 I’ve been waiting for you for half a day

He Nan turned a deaf ear as Old Master He threw a tantrum like a petulant child and simply refused to play anymore.

Shen Mianmian was thoroughly amused by the two of them.

Even Fu Hua couldn’t help but laugh, so after Shen Mianmian played a couple of chess games with Old Master He, she went out for a stroll with He Nan.

When they returned, they found Old Master He playing Chinese chess with Yang Xiaoxi. Yang Xiaoxi wasn’t very good at it and was getting thoroughly beaten by Old Master He, yet she fought more fiercely the more she lost.

The two days passed quickly, and on the second day of the New Year, after lunch, He Nan prepared to take them back. Old Master He was clearly reluctant to see them go but dismissively waved his hand and said, "You guys go back! Don’t come to see this old man anytime soon; you little rascals have worn me out these past few days."

At those words, everyone laughed, knowing that no one had enjoyed the last few days more than Old Master He had.

On the second day of the New Year, the streets were bustling with people, each one’s face brimming with the joy of the New Year. Many were carrying small gifts, going around to pay New Year visits.

Shen Mianmian had thought she would spend the New Year quietly at home reading her script until school resumed, but as soon as she arrived at her place, she received notice from Lu Nian.

The filming was set to officially start on the sixteenth of the first month due to her schooling. On the sixteenth, she only needed to attend the opening ceremony; her scenes with Yang Xiaoxi would be filmed on the weekends.

Unprepared for the filming to start so soon, Shen Mianmian was somewhat flustered. After returning home, she and Yang Xiaoxi went through the script together, with He Nan as their only audience.

Meanwhile.

Fu Hua had just arrived at her front door when Mrs. Yang came out from inside, pulling her aside and saying, "Miss Cheng has been waiting for you in the living room. She’s been here for over three hours now, and she hasn’t eaten anything."

Fu Hua frowned, "I understand."

She stepped into the living room, and Mrs. Yang quickly followed.

Seeing Fu Hua return, Cheng Xining’s eyes lit up, then she complained with a pitiful look while tugging at Fu Hua’s arm, "Aunt Fu, why did you only get back now? I’ve been waiting for you half the day."

Since the last incident at the Ruan Family, this was the first time Cheng Xining had come over, and now that she knew about He Nan and Shen Mianmian’s relationship, Fu Hua’s attitude towards Cheng Xining had changed.

She used to treat Cheng Xining as a potential daughter-in-law, but now she simply regarded her as a grown-up niece.

"You usually come over on the third day of the New Year, why did you come on the second this year without giving a heads-up?"

Cheng Xining pouted, "Aunt Fu, now you’re blaming me? You weren’t always out on the second day of the New Year in the past either, were you?"

"That’s still my fault," Fu Hua said with a smile.

"I never said that. I just missed you," Cheng Xining began to act coquettishly, then said, "Aunt Fu, is Big Brother He still not spending New Year with you this year?"

Just as Fu Hua was about to speak, she heard her continue, "Aunt Fu, last time at my aunt’s house, I was a bit immature and lost my temper. Please don’t mind. I’ve gotten over it now. Mianmian is Mianmian, that’s a good thing. My aunt’s family can finally be together."

Hearing this, Fu Hua felt a burst of relief, "Xining, I watched you grow up, how could I be mad at you? I’m glad you’ve come around. I used to hope that you and Xiaonan could be together. It’s just that I didn’t foresee you weren’t meant to be. You’re a good child. Forget Xiaonan in the future and find someone who also likes you to have a good relationship with. I’ll still cherish you like a dear niece."

She sighed before adding, "Speaking of which, Xiaonan and Mianmian are really meant to be."
