Chapter 1230: Chapter 1230: Wedding Gift

"Mianmian, you wouldn’t be unwelcome to have me visit, would you?"

Tang Ling walked in with a smile and greeted Ruan Feng warmly.

"You must be Uncle Ruan? You look so much like Mianmian. Uncle, my name is Tang Ling."

Ruan Feng hurriedly nodded with a smile, but paused for a moment when he heard Tang Ling’s name, looking at Shen Mianmian with curiosity — could it be that this Tang Ling is...

Shen Mianmian gave Ruan Feng a slight nod, and then she saw Tang Ling hand over a bag, "Mianmian, this is a wedding gift from me. Take a look and see if you like it?"

"Thank you." Shen Mianmian took it and casually placed it on the stone table.

Tang Ling insisted, "Why don’t you open it and see if you like it?"

Having no choice, Shen Mianmian opened it to take a quick look. It was a diamond necklace that looked quite expensive. Shen Mianmian raised an eyebrow, "This is too valuable."

Tang Ling laughed, "If it wasn’t valuable, I couldn’t bear to give it. You’re now a big star and Miss Ruan, and by marrying He Nan you become Mrs. He. If I gave you a plain necklace, I suppose I’d never have another chance to see it around your neck in this lifetime."

Tang Ling’s playful words made it sound as if she and Shen Mianmian were long-time good friends. With such a comment, Shen Mianmian found it hard to refuse and could only say,

"The necklace is beautiful, I really like it, thank you."

"As long as you like it. I was worried you wouldn’t when I bought it, so I took a whole afternoon to choose it," said Tang Ling.

"Thank you for the thoughtfulness," Shen Mianmian replied indifferently.

As the two girls talked, Ruan Feng couldn’t get a word in, but with his years of experience in judging people, he found Tang Ling rather odd, so he didn’t leave. Instead, he sat on the stone bench, listening to the two chat. After a while, Tang Ling also started chatting with Ruan Feng, and showed no signs of leaving.

She said, "Uncle Ruan, you’re really lucky to have such a sensible and obedient daughter like Mianmian, unlike my parents who had a disobedient daughter like me, making it so they have to immigrate because they can’t stay in the country."

"You’re immigrating?" Ruan Feng was somewhat surprised. He didn’t know about Tang Ling’s plan to go abroad, but he felt something was off. Generally, older people prefer to stay in their place of birth, the so-called ’leaves returning to the roots’, but Tang Ling’s parents were considering immigration, which was bound to raise suspicions.

"Yes!" Tang Ling nodded with a smile, "You must have heard something about my situation, Uncle Ruan. My parents care about their reputation. If they stayed in the country, they would inevitably face gossip, so they wish to live abroad."

Hearing this, Ruan Feng said, "It’s good as long as the family is together. The past is past; you have to look forward."

Tang Ling smiled, "Uncle Ruan, I’m really envious of your family. If it weren’t for the accident five years ago, maybe Mianmian and I could have become very good friends."

Ruan Feng gave an awkward smile. Just then, He Nan, who had finished sending off He Xiaobei, walked in from the entrance and frowned when he saw Tang Ling.

"Why are you here?"

"He Nan, can you not make that face every time you see me? It makes me feel wholly unwelcome," said Tang Ling.

He Nan was silent; indeed, he did not welcome Tang Ling.

Tang Ling discerned his mood and couldn’t help but sigh, "Ah! You don’t have to make it so obvious. I’m just here to deliver your wedding gift. The immigration paperwork is going smoothly, and it should be ready in a few days. I might not even have the chance to attend your wedding, so I thought I’d give you the gift in advance."
