Chapter 951: Chapter 951: Instigation

"But Shen Mianmian is your biological daughter. You’re bound to dote on her, and if she doesn’t like me and badmouths me in front of you, you’ll definitely start disliking me too," Cheng Xining said.

"How could that be?" Ruan Lingyu felt that Cheng Xining was being childish, "You have been my beloved since you were a child, and no one can replace you. As for Shen Mianmian, I don’t even exist in her eyes."

Hearing the latter part of Ruan Lingyu’s words, Cheng Xining’s mind stirred, and she stopped crying, looking up with red eyes and asking, "Right, aunt, since you knew that she is Mianmian, why haven’t you told her yet?"

After a dispute at the Ruan Family’s home earlier in the year, Cheng Xining had been sulking for quite a while, and only recently had come to terms with it. She had initially planned to act charming in front of Fu Hua, but ended up being infuriated instead.

In fact, from the moment she knew that Shen Mianmian was Ruan Mianmian, Cheng Xining realized that she and He Nan had no chance.

But she couldn’t let go and still planned to target Fu Hua. Learning that Fu Hua sided with Shen Mianmian also agitated her greatly.

Even if there was no chance with Brother Nan, she wouldn’t let Shen Mianmian have an easy time.

Ruan Lingyu’s expression slightly changed, saying, "You also know what she did before. She didn’t consider me at all. Ruan Feng and Yiqian dote on her and are afraid she won’t recognize us, so they dare not tell her. They want me to comply with them, to coax Shen Mianmian back home, how could that be possible?"

Hearing this, Cheng Xining immediately added fuel to the fire, "You gave birth to her, you’re her mother. How can you humble yourself to admit fault to her? That’s just too much."

Ruan Feng and Yiqian always believed that it was Ruan Lingyu’s fault, making Ruan Lingyu doubt during this period if she really was at fault.

Now, hearing Cheng Xining say this, Ruan Lingyu felt like she had found an ally, even more convinced that she wasn’t wrong.

"You think so too, don’t you? I am her mother. I carried her for ten months, worried about her for so many years after she disappeared, and because of her, my relationship with your Uncle Ruan was never good. Now that we have finally found her, I, as a mother, have to bow and ask her to come back. Do you think this is reasonable?"

They say a daughter is a mother’s comfort, but Ruan Lingyu felt that, considering her and Shen Mianmian’s characters, even if Shen Mianmian did come back, they wouldn’t be able to bond well.

Their mother-daughter relationship was doomed not to be good.

If that’s the case, it’s better like this, to avoid irritating each other under the same roof.

Cheng Xining suddenly turned into an understanding and obedient girl, "Aunt, I am not meddling in your mother-daughter relationship. Even before I knew she was Mianmian, I told you what kind of person Shen Mianmian is. You’ve interacted with her and you understand. These years, in the countryside, her upbringing was truly twisted."

Thinking about Shen Mianmian’s defiant attitude before, Ruan Lingyu felt even worse, "Of course I know that. Otherwise, I wouldn’t be arguing with her. I just want to educate her properly, to change her temper, you see, her current temper, it’s nothing like our family."

"Although you say that, she is still your daughter," Cheng Xining pouted, "Aunt, how great it would be if I were your daughter!"

Ruan Lingyu sighed, "I’ve had that thought for over a decade now."

But in this world, there are no what-ifs.
