Chapter 955: Chapter 955 Speak the Truth 4

"So what if you gave birth to me? My last name is Shen now, not Ruan. Legally, we have no relationship at any rate. How I got admitted to Beijing University isn’t something I need to report to you. If you think having me was a disgrace, then just pretend it never happened. Coincidentally, I’m very happy living alone, with no plans to add a biological mother into the mix."

Having said that, she scoffed sarcastically, "Mrs. Ruan, really, this matter is better kept to yourself. After all, mentioning it doesn’t make either of us happy. If you thought you could take the moral high ground and lecture me with this, I’m sorry to disappoint you, but I won’t be controlled."

Though part of these words were said in anger, a great deal of them reflected her true inner thoughts.

For Shen Mianmian, the addition of such a biological mother was less desirable than remaining an orphan. This was why, even after guessing the reason for Ruan Yiqian’s change in attitude, she became even more indifferent towards him.

She needed neither a father nor a brother, and even less a mother.

She had no desire for the glory of being Miss Ruan.

"You..." Ruan Lingyu had never imagined that Shen Mianmian, upon learning that she was her mother, could speak such indifferent words with such composure.

Are these the words a daughter would speak to her mother?

She became even more certain that not recognizing Shen Mianmian as her daughter was the right decision. A daughter like her wasn’t born for gratitude but for vengeance.

Remembering the pain caused by the loss of her daughter over the years, Ruan Lingyu’s words became even sharper.

"Shen Mianmian, I finally understand why your foster parents disowned you. With a daughter like you, I truly regret giving birth to you. Even attending Beijing University, all the education is wasted on you."

"Let me tell you, stop mentioning not wanting me as your mother. I too do not wish to acknowledge you as my daughter. I knew about your identity before the New Year, but I never planned on taking you back. If you had any shame, you wouldn’t step a foot into the Ruan family’s doorstep. As long as I’m alive, don’t even think about entering."

After saying these words, Ruan Lingyu felt particularly relieved. It was the first time in her life she had spoken so harshly to someone, yet unbeknownst to her, that person was her own biological daughter.

Talk about irony.

Hearing the exchange between the two, Cheng Xining could barely contain her laughter; her goal had been achieved. The relationship between Shen Mianmian and Ruan Lingyu was indeed growing more and more strained.

"This works out just fine."

Far from being angry, Shen Mianmian laughed, "Mrs. Ruan, it’s rare for us to agree on something. Since we’ve laid everything out, you shouldn’t have a reason to stop me now, should you?"

After speaking, she took Yang Xiaoxi by the hand and walked away, only to be called back by Ruan Lingyu once more.

"Stop right there."

"Is there anything else?" Shen Mianmian asked.

Ruan Lingyu didn’t know why, but seeing Shen Mianmian’s indifferent attitude, seemingly eager to cut ties completely, infuriated her.

"You can’t act in this movie."

"And why can’t I?" Shen Mianmian asked, as if hearing a particularly funny joke, "Mrs. Ruan, what movie I act in is none of your business, right?"

Ruan Lingyu said, "The role was found for Xining. I don’t know what tactics you used to snatch it from her, but you’d better give the role back to Xining."
