Chapter 956: Chapter 956: Do Not Recognize Each Other

Shen Mianmian shifted her gaze to Cheng Xining, making her feel a bit guilty, "If you don’t believe me, go ask Director Lu. He approached me twice for the sake of filming this movie."

An ironic smile curled on Shen Mianmian’s lips, "If you want to act in it, then go find Director Lu yourself. Right now, Xiaoxi and I are the leads of this film. It’s not up for you to decide that I should just hand it over to you."

"What do you mean ’hand it over to me’?" Cheng Xining was dissatisfied with Shen Mianmian’s wording, "It’s clearly you who stole my role."

This movie, she hadn’t really wanted to film it before, but she also couldn’t let Shen Mianmian shoot it.

Shen Mianmian chuckled coldly, "Since you say I stole it, then I’ve already stolen it. Why would I give it back to you?"

"You..." Cheng Xining was so infuriated she couldn’t stand it, "Shen Mianmian, you stole my role, how can you still be so self-righteous?"

"Because now I am the lead of this movie, and you are not," Shen Mianmian declared.

"..."

Cheng Xining was at a loss for words and suddenly found herself unable to respond.

Seeing this, Ruan Lingyu was about to reprimand Shen Mianmian and spoke in a stern voice, "Shen Mianmian, you..."

"Mrs. Ruan." Shen Mianmian interrupted her, "I’m still addressing you as Mrs. Ruan, which shows I still have some sense. But if you keep causing trouble without reason, making a scene for no cause, next time I see you, I’ll just call the police directly. I suppose you wouldn’t want to be invited to the police station for tea at your age, would you?"

Ruan Lingyu: "..."

She was so angered by Shen Mianmian that her face turned purple, but Shen Mianmian didn’t bother with her anymore and walked away with Yang Xiaoxi.

Watching Shen Mianmian’s retreating figure, Ruan Lingyu almost couldn’t resist the urge to rush up and slap her.

"Auntie, why isn’t Mianmian surprised at all to know that you are her mother? Could it be that she has known all along and deliberately doesn’t want to recognize you, waiting for you to beg her to come back?"

Cheng Xining guessed.

Hearing this, Ruan Lingyu panted with rage, "She’s dreaming. What sins did I commit in this life to have such a daughter?"

Cheng Xining consoled her, "Auntie, don’t be angry. Mianmian has always been like this, you know that too. I think she doesn’t like you either, so let’s just pretend we don’t know about her identity and leave her be!"

Seeing how understanding she was, comforting her even after being robbed of the role, Ruan Lingyu said, "Xining, do you really want to act in this movie?"

Cheng Xining’s eyes flickered. She hadn’t wanted to film at first and inwardly looked down on the profession of acting, but seeing Shen Mianmian in the role made her want to snatch it. Besides, this was a perfect opportunity to sow discord between Ruan Lingyu and Shen Mianmian.

So she nodded, "I’ve been graduated for so long and haven’t had a job the whole time. When Director Lu found me, I fell in love with the script at first glance and thought that if this movie were done well, I could take the chance to debut successfully."

"Xining, don’t worry. If it’s yours, no one else can snatch it away." Shen Mianmian had already stolen He Nan. If she were to snatch away the profession Xining liked as well, what would Xining do in the future?

No, she absolutely couldn’t let Shen Mianmian take this movie.

And also take this opportunity to put Shen Mianmian in her place.

"But..." Cheng Xining looked worried, "Auntie, if Shen Mianmian was able to steal my role, it must be because Brother He Nan or Brother Yiqian intervened."

"Don’t worry about that. Leave it to me," Ruan Lingyu said.

Cheng Xining was secretly pleased but said with concern, "Auntie, please don’t start a quarrel with uncle or Brother Yiqian over this. If the movie’s gone, then it’s gone. If there’s an opportunity, I can always film something else."
