Chapter 1261: Chapter 1261: Dumped

If Ruan Lingyu had heard these words in the past, she would have been particularly moved. Now, she feels that Cheng Xining treats her like a fool.

"Save those words for your own mother!" Ruan Lingyu spoke coldly, "I can’t take them."

"Auntie, why would you say such things!" Cheng Xining looked aggrieved, "You’ve really misunderstood me. Although I call you auntie, I have always regarded you as if you were my own mother."

Cheng Xining said such words without a blush, glibly, and even Ruan Yiqian couldn’t bear to listen anymore.

Since entering the entertainment industry, Cheng Xining had completely changed; she was no longer the Cheng Xining of the past. Now, without any bottom line, she manipulates everyone around her.

Ruan Lingyu snorted but said no more. After all, this was the niece she had doted on for so many years. She had always treated Cheng Xining like her own daughter. Although she now saw through her, seeing Cheng Xining like this, Ruan Lingyu couldn’t bring herself to utter more heartless words. It must be said, Cheng Xining had an iron grip on Ruan Lingyu’s temperament.

Seeing that Ruan Lingyu’s attitude had softened, Cheng Xining then turned to Ruan Feng, "Uncle, I know that some of the things I’ve done in the entertainment industry have embarrassed you, and I don’t wish to explain, but I also really don’t want you to misunderstand me. Brother Yiqian understands the affairs of the entertainment industry. Many of the explosive news pieces journalists come up with for popularity are not true. I thought you would believe me, after all, you are my family. If you all misunderstand me, then I truly have nothing to say."

As she spoke, Cheng Xining’s eyes began to redden.

Shen Mianmian almost laughed out loud at this scene. Cheng Xining’s acting wasn’t very good, but she sure knew how to play the victim in front of her relatives.

To those unaware, it would seem like she was truly misunderstood. Looking at Cheng Xining’s attire, one could tell it was chosen with care. Usually, her style was more flamboyant and sensual, but now she was dressed like the innocent girl next door.

Ruan Feng didn’t want to argue with a younger generation; after all, he knew what was going on. If Cheng Xining were a boy, perhaps he could have exerted some control, but as a girl and considering the nature of the issues, it wasn’t easy for him to speak up, especially when seeing both mother and daughter with reddened eyes.

He sighed, "Don’t stand there, come over and sit!"

It’s not for any other reason but because his daughter was getting married tomorrow, and he didn’t want to argue with them at this moment.

Upon hearing this, Cheng’s mother immediately put on a smiling face and sat down next to Ruan Feng with Cheng Xining, then gestured to Ruan Lingyu, "Sister-in-law, come here and see this bedsheet and duvet cover set I bought for Mianmian. Isn’t it pretty?"

Ruan Feng had asked them to sit, indicating he didn’t want any unpleasantness. Ruan Lingyu sat down with a stiff face. Cheng’s mother opened the gift box and pulled out the bedsheet, saying.

"Look at this set, isn’t it nice? I picked it out especially for Mianmian and it cost quite a bit."

Ruan Lingyu said, "If you bought it for Mianmian, then let her see if she likes it. My opinion isn’t important." She didn’t want to play along with Cheng’s mother at all. She still remembered the face Cheng’s mother showed her the last time she visited the Cheng Family, an insult like she had never experienced in her life.

Cheng’s mother laughed awkwardly. It was one thing to try to please Ruan Lingyu, but she had no intention of doing the same for Shen Mianmian.

"Mianmian, take a look. Do you like the fabric and design?"

Cheng Xining suddenly reached out, took the bedsheet, and showed it to Shen Mianmian.

Shen Mianmian glanced at it and said directly, "Whether I like it or not doesn’t matter. Even if I did like it, I wouldn’t use anything you gave."
