Chapter 292: Chapter 292 Old Girlfriends

Jiang Yingxue felt inexplicably familiar upon hearing the name "arch-enemy".

Then, associating it with Shen Siyuan’s mother’s personality, for some reason, she suddenly thought of someone.

So she hurriedly asked: "What is Xiao Shen’s Mother’s name?"

"Uh... I’m not sure, she’s an elder, how could I just ask her what her name is."

Ruan Hongzhuang looked at her, and suddenly thought of the incident where Shen Siyuan’s mother asked for her mother’s name, why are both of them like this?

So, she carefully probed: "You’re not the arch-enemy mentioned by his mother, are you? But that’s also not right, although she asked for your name as soon as she saw me, after I told her, not only did she not get angry, she became even more enthusiastic."

Ruan Xiangqian, sitting across from her, was the first to turn his head and look at his wife with a look of surprise and uncertainty.

He certainly knew that his wife had changed her name.

Jiang Yingxue glanced at him and then continued to Ruan Hongzhuang: "You ask Xiao Shen, or nevermind, just describe her appearance to me."

"Appearance, I have taken photos." Ruan Hongzhuang immediately pulled out her phone.

It was natural for her to take some photos as a keepsake when she first visited Shen Siyuan’s home, and although she did not specifically take photos of Shen Siyuan’s parents, they were in some shots.

"Show me."

Jiang Yingxue took the phone with some impatience.

Then she scrolled through and saw a photo of Huang Huijuan standing at the door; she zoomed in and scrutinized it carefully, until finally, she couldn’t help but smile.

"Mom, you’re not really the arch-enemy mentioned by Siyuan’s mother, are you?" Ruan Hongzhuang asked somewhat nervously.

Jiang Yingxue didn’t deny it at all, nodding her head outright.

"If I’m not mistaken, Shen Siyuan’s mother should be named Huang Huijuan." Jiang Yingxue returned the phone to Ruan Hongzhuang.

Halfway through, however, Ruan Xiangqian took it from her and closely examined the photos.

"But that’s also not right..."

"It’s because your mother changed her name." Ruan Xiangqian said nonchalantly.

"Why?"

Ruan Hongzhuang was somewhat surprised; she had never heard about this.

"It’s all some matters of the past elders, don’t ask about it." Jiang Yingxue said.

Clearly, she was not willing to discuss the matter further.

But Ruan Hongzhuang really wanted to understand, and she suddenly remembered the dream about her grandmother from a while ago.

She dreamed that her grandmother went to meet a white-haired old man, smiling and calling him little junior brother.

She stayed by the side of the little junior brother, accompanying him to read, watch him play chess and paint, garden together in the yard, and walk with him in the park.

Even within the dream, Ruan Hongzhuang could feel the happiness brimming from her grandmother.

With a warm and affectionate face, with a look or a smile, all tender like water, even though she was an old lady, she exuded an aura of grace and depth of feeling.

Later on, Shen Siyuan told her, it was not a dream, but a reflection of her grandmother’s consciousness, it was real.

At that time, Shen Siyuan also asked her if she wanted to find her grandmother, she thought about it and refused, feeling it was her grandmother’s personal matter and she should not interfere.

Moreover, her grandmother appeared to be very happy, so she didn’t want to disturb her.

Thinking of this, Ruan Hongzhuang then asked: "Does grandmother also have a little junior brother?"

The once-smiling Jiang Yingxue’s face changed instantaneously upon hearing this.

"Who told you that?"

Seeing her reaction, Ruan Hongzhuang became even more curious and couldn’t help but continue asking: "Just tell me if there is or isn’t one?"

Jiang Yingxue looked towards Ruan Xiangqian, the couple exchanged glances, and ultimately Jiang Yingxue sat back down and calmly said: "There was one, all things from the past, why bring him up?"

Ruan Hongzhuang always felt that there was more to the story, but with Jiang Yingxue unwilling to talk, she did not continue to ask.

After all, she had her own issues to resolve.

"So Aunt Huang didn’t guess wrong, you are the arch-enemy she mentioned?"

Jiang Yingxue nodded her head.

"Then we’re in trouble."

Ruan Hongzhuang put down her bowl and chopsticks, feeling that the food had lost its appeal, her heart filling with anxiety.

"What’s finished?" Jiang Yingxue was nonchalant.

Ruan Xiangqian didn’t speak, simply looking at her with some curiosity.

"What awful thing did you actually do to make Aunt Huang hate you so much that she calls you her arch-enemy every time?" Ruan Hongzhuang complained.

Jiang Yingxue glared at her, displeased, "Aren’t you my daughter anymore? You’re not even married yet and you’re already elbowing me out. How do you know it’s my fault?"

"Mom, I’m not joking with you right now. What am I supposed to do if Aunt Huang recognizes you? Si Yuan will definitely side with his mom." Ruan Hongzhuang said somewhat angrily.

"Alright, alright, calm down. What deep hatred could there be? I’m on good terms with her. I was actually worried about you and Xiao Shen, but since he’s Little Seagull’s son, I’ll make sure that’s taken care of for you." Jiang Yingxue couldn’t hold back her smile any longer, no longer keeping it a secret.

"Little Seagull?"

Ruan Hongzhuang suddenly realized.

"Si Yuan’s mom is your classmate?"

"Yes."

Upon hearing this, Ruan Hongzhuang suddenly understood, and then puzzledly asked, "Then why does she call you her arch-enemy?"

"She also calls me ’capitalist miss’, that one is soft everywhere but has a tough mouth." Jiang Yingxue spoke with a sense of unspoken joy.

"Are you close?"

Jiang Yingxue thought for a moment, "It’s approximately like the relationship between you and Taozi, except that she always bickers with me, and her mouth is tougher than Taozi’s..."

"Hahaha..."

Upon getting to this point, Jiang Yingxue couldn’t help but burst into laughter.

Then, she took Ruan Hongzhuang’s phone from Ruan Xiangqian’s hand and carefully examined the photo of Shen Siyuan.

"I knew it, when I first saw Xiao Shen, I felt a familiar feeling in his brows, it turns out he is Little Seagull’s son, it’s really fate... truly fate..." Jiang Yingxue murmured to herself, feeling deeply moved.

"You never mentioned it before."

"I didn’t pay attention before. How could I have made the connection?"

"Are you going to see her?" Ruan Hongzhuang asked with some trepidation.

Jiang Yingxue looked up at her, then asked, "If we meet and start arguing, whose side will you take?"

"I’ll side with Aunt Huang." Ruan Hongzhuang replied without hesitation.

Upon hearing this, Jiang Yingxue immediately furrowed her brows and glared at her.

"Are you still my daughter? How can you side with an outsider?"

"With Aunt Huang’s personality, it’s definitely you who bullies her." Ruan Hongzhuang said, very sure of herself.

It is often said that no one knows a daughter better than her mother, but the reverse is also true.

"Not true, you’re making things up." Jiang Yingxue argued.

"Your voice just went up a bit." Ruan Hongzhuang remarked with a raised eyebrow.

When Jiang Yingxue was caught making a mistake and still wouldn’t admit it, her voice would subconsciously rise slightly, higher than her usual tone.

Ruan Xiangqian sat on the side, smiling and saying nothing. He saw it too.

"It’s a draw." Jiang Yingxue slightly backed down.

"So, are you going to see her?" Ruan Hongzhuang continued to press.

At the question, Jiang Yingxue hesitated a bit, then suddenly asked, "What about Xiao Shen’s paternal grandparents? You never mentioned them. How are they doing?"

Ruan Hongzhuang replied, "Si Yuan said that they passed away when he was very young."

"I see..."

Jiang Yingxue’s expression turned complex, tinged with a bit of sorrow and loss.

After a while, she said, "Give me some time to think."

She hadn’t decided yet whether she wanted to see her now.

Just then, the hand lying on the edge of the table was caught. She turned her head to see Ruan Xiangqian giving her a comforting look.
