Chapter 980: Chapter 980: Did Grandpa He win against you again?

Yang Xiaoxi scrunched up her little face as she sat playing chess with Grandpa He, while Shen Mianmian attentively prepared flower tea for the two of them and placed it at their side. Then she quietly observed, but she only watched without saying much.

Old Xu also watched from the side. Just like that, Yang Xiaoxi lost two games in a row, but on the third game, she suddenly got lucky and won a game, which delighted her immensely.

Grandpa He kept muttering that he had been careless as Shen Mianmian chuckled to herself at the side. Grandpa He clearly let Yang Xiaoxi win on purpose, probably because he was afraid Yang Xiaoxi would stop playing if she kept losing.

Seeing that Grandpa He’s water cup was empty, she refilled it for him. Just then, Ruan Feng’s voice came from the entrance.

As soon as Yang Xiaoxi saw Ruan Feng, her eyes lit up. She put the chess piece she was holding back and, as though she had seen a life-saving straw, quickly said, "Uncle Ruan, you’ve come at the perfect time, come and play chess with Grandpa He."

Ruan Feng smiled and said, "Did your Grandpa He win against you again?"

"More than that!" Yang Xiaoxi pulled Ruan Feng to sit down, "I’ve been thoroughly defeated by Grandpa He."

Ruan Feng did not decline and took a look at the chessboard, then made a move right away. Grandpa He glanced at him and said, "You young people just don’t have patience, giving up after losing just two rounds."

Yang Xiaoxi said, "Grandpa He, you’re too good, I can’t beat you, but I think Uncle Ruan definitely can."

Grandpa He harrumphed and started playing chess seriously, making it obvious he wanted to show Yang Xiaoxi who was better.

Shen Mianmian prepared another cup of flower tea and stood to the side as she had done before, watching.

Recently, whenever Ruan Feng had the time, he would come over for a visit. Just like Ruan Yiqian, every time he came, he would bring a small gift but wouldn’t stay too long, not overstepping his welcome.

Moreover, since they no longer mentioned that she was Ruan Mianmian, they did not add any mental pressure to her life. Shen Mianmian thus didn’t show much resistance. Everyone interacted like neighbors, which was quite harmonious.

Ruan Feng sipped the flower tea Shen Mianmian had made, feeling extremely content: to be able to drink tea prepared by his own daughter in this lifetime was more than enough.

Grandpa He and Ruan Feng were playing earnestly, and the others watched with equal intensity. After playing for about an hour, the phone in the house suddenly rang.

"I’ll go answer the phone."

Shen Mianmian walked inside the house, and as soon as she picked up the phone, Lu Nian’s voice came through.

"Mianmian, it’s me, Lu Nian."

"Director Lu," Shen Mianmian asked, "Why are you calling suddenly? Is there something?

Lu Nian said, "It’s like this, my friend is planning to shoot a movie, and the female lead has not been finalized yet. I think the role suits you well. Would you like to audition?"

Before Shen Mianmian could answer, he continued, "Do you have time? How about we meet up, and I will show you the script? If you’re interested in the role, you can bring Yang Xiaoxi along for the audition. There might be a suitable role for her too."

Shen Mianmian was a bit surprised; she thought if she were to act in movies again, it would be after Lu Nian’s film was released and she, along with Yang Xiaoxi, gained some fame. She didn’t expect Lu Nian to approach her so soon.

After contemplating for a moment, she said, "I have time. Where do you think is a good place to meet?"

Lu Nian was aware of her relationship with He Nan, so a recommendation for her to take part in a film meant it was suited for her, which made Shen Mianmian quite confident.
