Chapter 1173: Chapter 1173 Discussion

Shen Mianmian smiled again, and Tingting suddenly noticed the wedding ring on her hand, exclaiming, "Are you guys getting married?"

"The wedding date hasn’t been set, but Big Brother He has already proposed," Shen Mianmian said.

Tingting looked on with envy. "This is the first time I’ve seen a friend wear a wedding ring. Usually, people in my village get envious over just a wristwatch. And here you are with such a huge diamond ring—I’d be too scared to even step outside if I wore a diamond ring that big."

"It’s not that exaggerated," Shen Mianmian knew Tingting didn’t mean to be sour; if it were in her previous life, she might have had the same thoughts as Tingting.

Wealth disparity can hinder one’s vision and thought process.

Tingting glanced toward the direction of the car and said, "Your fiancé must be getting anxious. I won’t keep you any longer, hurry back!"

Shen Mianmian nodded and said goodbye to Tingting.

As soon as the two had left, the parents at the school gate immediately started gossiping, "Wow, so He Xiaobei does have a dad. Wasn’t it said that she was born out of wedlock and the man abandoned her?"

"That man definitely isn’t He Xiaobei’s real father. I suspect that’s a stepfather her mom found for her."

"That’s not possible. Haven’t you noticed? That man looks a lot like He Xiaobei."

"Look alike? Don’t just think any man looks like her. I even think the gatekeeper looks like Xiaobei."

Hearing this, those who knew the inside story could no longer stand it and interjected.

"Don’t make wild guesses. Haven’t you seen the news? Shen Mianmian’s fiancé, who is also He Xiaobei’s father, He Nan, was previously missing in a plane accident, and now he’s back. The newspapers have been reporting about it these past few days. Don’t you read them?"

Hearing this, some people immediately shut up.

Some still snidely said, "You all are educated folks, literates, we’re illiterate."

What she said wasn’t false; indeed, many were illiterate and thus never read newspapers. This was also one of the reasons why they would behind the scenes call He Xiaobei a wild child.

Regardless, the news of He Nan’s return had cleared things up, and no one dared to gossip any further, scattering to their respective homes.

Meanwhile.

He Nan dropped off Shen Mianmian at the filming set but didn’t head straight home. Instead, he went to buy a children’s bed and some bedding. After returning, he cleared out the room next to Shen Mianmian’s, moved in the children’s bed, and made it up with the bedding.

Only after everything was prepared did he return to the film set.

Shen Mianmian’s current scenes were not many, with just two or three a day; if she was in good form, she could wrap them up quickly.

Shortly after he left, Zhu Yun came with her child, only to find Shen Mianmian’s door firmly locked. Disappointed, she had hoped to scoop up some more gossip, not expecting Shen Mianmian to have left again.

She rushed home with her child and waited. Finally, in the afternoon Tang Ling came over. Upon seeing Tang Ling, Zhu Yun’s eyes narrowed into slits, "Oh my! I’ve been waiting all day and didn’t see you. I thought you weren’t coming today. Thank goodness you’re here."

"How could that be?" Tang Ling laughed, "We had an agreement; of course, I’d come."

Seeing how happy Zhu Yun was, Tang Ling guessed she must have sniffed out some news. But Tang Ling wasn’t eager to ask—knowing Zhu Yun was motivated by money, she would certainly bring it up herself.

Sure enough, Zhu Yun said cheerfully, "I went to Shen Mianmian’s place last night. They had a whole bunch of people over for a barbecue dinner. I dug up quite a bit of news."
