Chapter 958: Chapter 958: Being Driven Away

"She’s just a country girl, and I couldn’t care less about knowing her," she said, claiming to be unfamiliar, but her tone changed as she began to speak ill of Shen Mianmian, "She is nothing but a thief, a robber, with a terrible reputation. She goes around seducing other people’s fiancés. If you hire her for your film, it won’t be long before her scandals come to light, and your movie might not even get a chance to be released."

"Miss Cheng, you can eat whatever you want, but you cannot speak carelessly," Lu Nian’s face darkened, "Choosing my actors is my personal affair and has nothing to do with Miss Cheng. Please do not disturb our work."

Shen Mianmian had enrolled in Beijing University as the top student of her province, even the teachers at the school held her in high esteem.

Having been in society for many years, Lu Nian had seen many people and naturally would not doubt someone’s character just because of what others said; he trusted his own eyes.

Unexpectedly, he had to dismiss someone; with so many people present, Cheng Xining felt humiliated and her face flushed with embarrassment, "Lu Nian, I called you Director Lu and agreed to act in your film as a favor to you. Don’t think I’m actually keen on it."

"Miss Cheng, if you don’t leave now, I will have to have you removed," Lu Nian said.

Cheng Xining was nearly furious, glared fiercely at Lu Nian, and turned to leave.

Shen Mianmian, always Shen Mianmian, always snatching what was hers. She couldn’t swallow her pride.

Elsewhere.

Unaware that Cheng Xining had gone to see Lu Nian, Shen Mianmian was just sitting on the bus going back with Yang Xiaoxi, who had just come to her senses after Ruan Lingyu’s words. She found the whole situation as unbelievable as a dream.

"Mianmian, did you already know she was your mother?"

From the conversation between Shen Mianmian and Ruan Lingyu, she felt that Shen Mianmian was not at all surprised, which clearly meant she had known it all along.

As things had come to this point, Shen Mianmian no longer planned to hide it from her, nodded and gave a wry smile, "I was just guessing before, without full certainty, but now it seems to be true."

"How did you guess?" Yang Xiaoxi felt curious; she had been with Shen Mianmian every day and had not noticed anything unusual.

"Didn’t you notice that since Ruan Yiqian mentioned finding Ruan Mianmian, he started visiting us more frequently? Think about it, didn’t his attitude change since then? Also, Ruan Feng began to come over, yet Ruan Mianmian never appeared."

All of this was too suspicious. With suspicions in her mind, she did not want to break the ice, nor confront the Ruan family. Unexpectedly, Ruan Lingyu broke it for her.

Since that was the case, she was not scared anymore.

She had no intention of acknowledging the Ruan family anyway.

In her previous life, she had lived a lonely life, with no one looking for her. She needed it even less in this life.

"..."

Yang Xiaoxi’s mouth fell open in surprise; she couldn’t believe she had overlooked such a significant detail. No wonder Shen Mianmian ranked first in the province, she truly wasn’t as clever as Shen Mianmian.

"Mianmian, what do you plan to do then? Are you really not going to acknowledge them?"

"I don’t need to make that decision; Ruan Lingyu has already made it for me," Shen Mianmian said.

Yang Xiaoxi nodded, "You’re right. Ruan Lingyu is too fierce. Being her daughter is worse than now."

"Do you think Ruan Lingyu is very strange? She was desperate to find her daughter every day, and now that she has found her, she refuses to recognize her and even bullies you."
