Chapter 960: Chapter 960 Mother-Son Conversation

"The issue now isn’t that Xining refuses to film; it’s that Xiaonan invested in the movie and had the director replace the role," Ruan Lingyu said angrily.

"Mom, it was Xining who didn’t want to do the movie, that’s why Mianmian took the role. No one was pulling strings behind the scenes, don’t be fooled by her nonsense."

Ruan Yiqian knew what He Nan was like and also understood Shen Mianmian. Moreover, he remembered clearly that it was indeed Cheng Xining who didn’t want to do the movie in the first place. Now that Mianmian had taken on the role, Xining felt uncomfortable and started stirring up trouble everywhere, targeting Mianmian purely out of spite.

If someone else had taken on the movie, Cheng Xining would have had no issue at all.

Ruan Lingyu looked disappointed, "Yiqian, you’ve watched Xining grow up, you used to treat her like a sister and loved her dearly. Just because you now know that Shen Mianmian is Mianmian, you badmouth Xining and do such things to her. Do you think this is appropriate? Don’t you feel that you’ve let Xining down?"

No wonder Xining said everyone had changed. She used to think that Xining was just being sensitive, but now she thinks about it, it wasn’t Xining being sensitive at all; it was everyone who truly changed.

"Mom, you said it yourself, I’ve treated her as my own sister and loved her for so many years. How have I let her down?" Ruan Yiqian firmly replied, "If Xining were sensible and didn’t purposefully target Mianmian, I would still treat her like my own sister. But now she’s attacking Mianmian at every turn and even tries to sabotage the relationship between you and me. How can I continue to be affectionate towards her?"

He paused for a moment, and then continued, "You always worry about Xining, afraid that she might get a bit aggrieved. Why can’t you give a part of that love to Mianmian? She is your own daughter, my own sister. She has suffered a lot over the years, and you know that. Now that we’ve found her, are we supposed to still treat her like an orphan, abandoned outside?"

Ruan Yiqian couldn’t understand why Ruan Lingyu had such a big issue with Shen Mianmian.

Mianmian is so sensible and outstanding. As a mother, she should be happy. Even if there were misunderstandings about Mianmian before, after knowing that Mianmian is Mianmian, she should at least try to understand her.

"She suffered? What suffering has she experienced?" Ruan Lingyu sneered, "As far as I see, she’s been living better than anyone. She opened a vegetable shop and earns a few thousand a month, plus Xiaonan’s support. Xining doesn’t even spend as much money as she does. Yiqian, don’t be like your father, condoning her just because you feel guilty for losing Mianmian back then."

"She had a very tough life before she opened the vegetable shop, I’ve told you about this before," Ruan Yiqian frowned, "Mom, why do you have such a huge prejudice against Mianmian? Just because you’ve had a few quarrels with her before? Mianmian is not a child spoiled by indulgence; you could try to understand her."

"Try to understand what? I understand her well enough." Recalling the morning’s events, Ruan Lingyu became emotional, "Do you know what she said to me today? She said she doesn’t give a damn about having me as a mother, that she wouldn’t acknowledge me, and even threatened to call the police to have me arrested. Have you ever seen a daughter want to call the police on the mother who carried her for nine months and gave birth to her? No wonder her adoptive parents didn’t want her and chose to sever ties with her. Who would want to raise such a heartless child?"

Hearing this, Ruan Yiqian’s eyebrows furrowed into a deep frown. Although he wasn’t at the scene, seeing how agitated Ruan Lingyu was now, he could guess what the situation must have been like at that time.

Mianmian had already hated them, and now this...
