Chapter 1177: Chapter 1177: Instigation

Cheng Xining said, "I also hope that Brother Nan is not that kind of person, but the current situation really makes one suspicious. Look at Brother Nan, he’s been very secretive lately. For example, he’s been back for a while but hid and didn’t meet any of you. This matter is quite puzzling. It feels like he wanted to arrange something beforehand. It’s not that I’m overthinking it, but I think he didn’t let everyone know he was back because he wanted to arrange things for Tang Ling and Xingxing. Xingxing is very probably Brother Nan’s daughter. Don’t you think her eyebrows and eyes really resemble Brother Nan’s?"

If Xingxing had no relation to He Nan, why would He Nan send Xingxing back?

He Nan has a temper, she still knows something about it, He Nan never likes to meddle in other people’s affairs.

"..." Ruan Lingyu frowned. She originally didn’t think Xingxing resembled He Nan, but having Cheng Xining put it that way, she did see some resemblance, "Do you mean Xiaonan came back wanting to abandon Tang Ling and Xingxing, and marry Shen Mianmian?"

"It’s not impossible," Cheng Xining speculated. "Auntie, think about it carefully. The current Shen Mianmian is not the Shen Mianmian she used to be. She is the Ruan Family’s daughter, and also gave birth to a son for Brother Nan, plus Brother Nan originally liked her, he definitely wants to marry her. Then Tang Ling and Xingxing would be the sacrifices."

After a pause, she continued, "There’s another possibility like I just mentioned. Brother Nan wants to keep Tang Ling outside, enjoying the fortune of two families, although I also don’t like to think of men this way, the reality indeed arouses suspicion."

Ruan Lingyu’s face grew increasingly unpleasant, finally saying, "I’m going to find Xiaohua to clarify this matter."

"Auntie, how can you still be confused at this point?" Cheng Xining sighed, "Aunt Fu probably doesn’t even know about this, and even if she did, she definitely wouldn’t tell you. Between Shen Mianmian and Tang Ling, she definitely hopes Mianmian becomes her daughter-in-law. Shen Mianmian has given birth to a son, and with the backing of an uncle and cousin, she is also planning to make a comeback in acting. Tang Ling can’t compare to her now."

Cheng Xining’s analysis was clear and logical, turning Ruan Lingyu’s initial suspicions into complete belief, seemingly confirming that Xingxing was indeed He Nan’s child.

"No, no matter what, I can’t let them get married. I’m going to talk to your uncle about this right away. If they get married, the Ruan Family’s reputation will be completely ruined."

After saying this, Ruan Lingyu, paying no heed to Cheng Xining’s attempts to stop her, went directly to Ruan Feng’s office. Ruan Feng, who was working, was quite surprised to see her. The couple, who had originally planned to divorce, hadn’t due to He Nan’s incident and rarely met. It was the first time in five years that Ruan Lingyu had come to find him.

He poured a glass of water for Ruan Lingyu, "How come you have time to come here?"

Ruan Lingyu asked sternly, "Did you also know that Xiaonan fathered a daughter outside?"

Ruan Feng frowned, "Xiaonan has already clarified it, that child is not his. Why are you talking like outsiders?"

Ruan Lingyu’s expression darkened, "I met that child today, she looks exactly like Xiaonan, obviously Xiaonan’s child. And you still believe Xiaonan’s nonsense. If the child isn’t his, why does everyone say it is? After he came back, he has been avoiding us, just to arrange a place for Tang Ling, and moreover, he was the one who sent Xingxing to Tang Ling’s home, which proves he has been in contact with Tang Ling."
