Chapter 1262: Chapter 1262: Provoking Anger

As soon as these words came out, Cheng’s mother’s face changed instantly. She already looked down on Shen Mianmian and was unwilling to show her a friendly face, but she didn’t expect Shen Mianmian to be so presumptuous.

Thinking about this, she frowned and said, "Mianmian, no matter what, I am your aunt. What are you talking about? Would I ever poison you by putting something in the bedding?"

After she finished speaking, she took the bedsheets back, "If you don’t want them, forget it. This set is quite expensive, I really didn’t feel like giving it away anyway."

Before Shen Mianmian could speak, Ruan Lingyu intervened, "Then take it back! Our family is not short of this set, I can still afford a set of sheets and quilts as a dowry gift, we don’t need anyone else’s generosity."

Ruan Yiqian and Ruan Feng initially wanted to speak up, but unexpectedly Ruan Lingyu spoke first. Both of them changed their minds and remained silent, knowing Ruan Lingyu was protecting Shen Mianmian. This was a good thing, possibly an opportunity to alleviate the tension between mother and daughter, so both tacitly avoided interrupting.

Let these four women argue among themselves, perfectly matching mother and daughter against mother and daughter. They knew Shen Mianmian and Ruan Lingyu were capable of holding their own in verbal disputes, so they wouldn’t lose out anyway.

"Sister-in-law, you shouldn’t talk like that." Cheng’s mother didn’t expect Ruan Lingyu to actually support Shen Mianmian, "I came here with good intentions to celebrate your event, what are you doing? Disrespecting the gift I brought? My family might not be as well-off as yours, I didn’t have sons who have their own companies, so you look down on me, I probably deserve it..."

Hearing Cheng’s mother’s nagging voice, Shen Mianmian felt a headache and stood up, "I’m going to rest for a while."

Ruan Yiqian and Ruan Feng thought she was really tired, so they quickly said, "Then go rest! We will call you when it’s time to eat."

"Hmm." Shen Mianmian nodded her head and went upstairs.

Seeing Shen Mianmian leave, Cheng’s mother became even more excited, and as if fearing Shen Mianmian wouldn’t hear, she deliberately raised her voice, "Look, just look, does she even regard me as her aunt? No respect for her elders at all."

Ruan Lingyu snorted coldly, "She doesn’t even regard me, her own mother, in her eyes, why should she respect you?"

A single sentence left Cheng’s mother speechless, and she finally gritted her teeth and said, "It’s all because you spoil her."

"If I really spoiled her, she wouldn’t have been bullied by Xining before." Ruan Lingyu felt a surge of resentment remembering this matter. She didn’t know why she was so foolish back then, realizing many things were her fault but was too proud to apologize.

She always felt that bowing her head in front of the younger ones would make her lose face as an elder.

"..." Cheng’s mother was choked with anger and finally retorted sarcastically, "Fine, you two have a great mother-daughter relationship, it was my mistake to speak up."

Cheng Xining secretly tugged at Cheng’s mother’s sleeve. They came here today for a reason, but the conversation had veered off topic.

She gave a forced smile and said, "Uncle, Auntie, my mom is straightforward, please don’t mind. She is all bark but no bite."

Cheng’s mother then remembered the real purpose of their visit, cursing inwardly, blaming Shen Mianmian for angering her and causing her to lose control of her temper.

"Enough, just say what you came here for? Stop beating around the bush with untruthful words, doesn’t it feel awkward for you to say them? I can’t stand listening any longer." Ruan Yiqian knew from the moment these two entered that they wanted something, otherwise they wouldn’t have brought gifts and come visiting."

They hadn’t shown up for lunch, but suddenly appeared in the afternoon, clearly having an agenda.
