Chapter 950: Chapter 950 Miss Cheng is a bit difficult

"I’m fine." Fu Hua came back to her senses, massaging her temples with a headache, "Sister Yang, do you think all this is really my fault? If I hadn’t spoken before about making Xining my daughter-in-law, would she not be like this now?"

Sister Yang felt that Fu Hua was too involved to see clearly, so she said, "Madam, I don’t think you can blame yourself. You just said you liked Miss Cheng, and joked once or twice about having her as your daughter-in-law; you never really sat down with the Cheng Family to discuss this matter. Besides, if it were anyone else, they might have taken it as a joke. Miss Cheng liked Xiaonan, and that’s why she took your words seriously. Even if you hadn’t said anything, she would still have liked him."

After a pause, she added, "There are some things that might not be appropriate for me to say, but seeing her like that just now, I couldn’t help myself. Don’t be mad at me for speaking out, but I think Miss Cheng’s temperament really isn’t suitable for Xiaonan."

Sister Yang knew her place, so she didn’t dare say too much, but by this point, Fu Hua understood what she meant.

"Even you noticed, and I didn’t see it before! I used to think she was just a bit spoiled, but now it seems that it’s not only her temperament that’s bad, but her values as well."

Sister Yang said, "Miss Cheng is quite tricky."

In fact, Sister Yang knew more about Cheng Xining than Fu Hua did. Cheng Xining looked down on country folks.

Because Fu Hua was He Nan’s mother, Cheng Xining was polite to Fu Hua and tried to please her, but behind her back, she was very rude and spoke in a sharp and bitter manner.

Sister Yang was well aware of her status, so she never said anything in front of Fu Hua. She always did more and said less, which was why she had managed to stay working in the He Family as a housekeeper for so long.

Fu Hua sighed in resignation. After Cheng Xining had made such a scene, she guessed it would be a while before she came over again—though that was probably for the best, as she wouldn’t have to face Cheng Xining anymore.

With things having turned out this way, she didn’t know how she would be able to console Cheng Xining if she faced her again.

...

Meanwhile,

Cheng Xining instantly hailed a cab to Ruan Lingyu’s house just as Ruan Feng left the house. Ruan Lingyu was also very angry, and seeing Cheng Xining’s eyes red from crying, she felt a surge of sympathy.

"What happened? It’s the New Year; why are you crying like this?"

Cheng Xining threw herself into Ruan Lingyu’s arms, crying, "Auntie, does everyone like Shen Mianmian now? Does no one like me anymore, does no one care about me anymore?"

"How could that be?" Ruan Lingyu held her, comforting her, "You’re my niece. Whether or not Shen Mianmian is around, I will always care about you."

Mentioning Shen Mianmian made Ruan Lingyu frown. Lately, those were the last words she wanted to hear.

Before the New Year, her husband had come back, but because they had quarreled before, no one wanted to back down, and the atmosphere was tense; they spoke in cold, harsh tones. On New Year’s Eve, Ruan Feng had said, ’If Mianmian were here, that would be great.’

She responded impulsively, ’If Shen Mianmian doesn’t apologize, she can’t come back.’

Ruan Feng gave her a look, and they fell into a cold war again. Today, he had packed up his things and moved out again.

She had thought that finding their daughter would make the whole family happy, but she had never imagined that so many years of peace would be shattered by Shen Mianmian.
