Chapter 963: Chapter 963: Parting on Bad Terms

Hearing Fu Hua say so, Ruan Lingyu showed a hint of confusion on her face, wondering if it was Xining who had lied.

Seeing that look on her face, Fu Hua also guessed something, so he pressed on, "Was it Xining who told you this? Xining has some issues with Mianmian, and might have exaggerated things a bit. You know Xining, so you shouldn’t just take her word for it."

Hearing Fu Hua repeatedly mention Mianmian in such an affectionate manner and always speaking in support of Shen Mianmian, as if she truly was a part of his family, Ruan Lingyu felt quite upset.

She was always strong-willed, and although she harbored doubts, she was unwilling to admit them.

"Even if Xining exaggerated, it’s a fact that others approached Xining first for the film projects. Shen Mianmian is still studying, and she should be focusing all her efforts on her schooling. If she were involved in films, how could she possibly have the mind for studying?"

She sighed deeply, a pained expression crossing her face, "Xining has always liked Xiaonan, and we all thought the two children would get married. Now that Xiaonan suddenly got close to Shen Mianmian, Xining is already heartbroken. She’s trying to shift her focus to acting now, and here Shen Mianmian is taking over her roles. How could she possibly feel okay about it?"

Listening to Ruan Lingyu continuously defend Cheng Xining, Fu Hua felt increasingly unfair on behalf of Shen Mianmian.

"Mianmian films only on Saturdays and Sundays; it doesn’t interfere with her regular studies. Xiaonan has never liked Xining, it was us, their elders, who wished it without considering the children’s feelings. We shouldn’t morally bind Mianmian."

Ruan Lingyu looked at Fu Hua skeptically, "Xiaohua, didn’t you also dislike Shen Mianmian before? Why are you now defending her at every turn? If it’s because she is ’Mianmian’ that you’re siding with her, you really don’t need to. That might just spoil her."

She had thought that coming here, Fu Hua would sympathize with her, but to her shock, Fu Hua was siding with Shen Mianmian just like her son and husband, making Ruan Lingyu suddenly feel that she should not have come.

Fu Hua explained, "Lingyu, I had objections to Mianmian previously because I listened to Xining’s words. Later, when I tried to get to know her better, I realized she wasn’t what Xining described. I think you should try to reach out to Mianmian. Over the New Year, I spent two days with her and discovered she’s truly a wonderful child."

In Fu Hua’s view, Ruan Lingyu, as a mother, should be more magnanimous and not contend with Shen Mianmian. If she had such a daughter, she would definitely treat her well.

"Mianmian spent the New Year with you guys?" Ruan Lingyu asked, frowning.

"Yes," Fu Hua nodded, "During New Year’s, Xiaonan brought her over, and we all celebrated the big holiday together at the old house. She left on the second day of the New Year."

Ruan Lingyu: "..."

Although she clearly disliked Shen Mianmian and was very dissatisfied with her, hearing Fu Hua’s words made Ruan Lingyu suddenly feel really hurt and unhappy.

She always felt that now it seemed like Fu Hua was Shen Mianmian’s real mother, having a better relationship with her than she did.

She took a deep breath and said, "Just arriving at your house, she certainly would have been on her best behavior, not daring to be too presumptuous. This child is cunning; don’t be fooled by her outward appearance."

Fu Hua: "..."

She didn’t know how to respond for a moment. Shen Mianmian was Ruan Lingyu’s biological daughter, and Ruan Lingyu’s current remarks were truly a bit extreme.

The two of them couldn’t see eye to eye, and Ruan Lingyu, feeling irritated, made a few more casual remarks before finding an excuse to leave the He Family.
