Chapter 1263: Chapter 1263: Protecting the Junior

"Yiqian, I don’t like the way you’re talking to me," said Aunt Cheng, pouting. "After all, I am your aunt. If Mianmian disrespects me, it’s because she’s impolite and uneducated since she grew up in the countryside. I can understand that, but you were raised before my eyes, I’ve always treated you like my own son. How can you be the same as her? You’ve really been led astray by a wild child."

As soon as these words were uttered, the faces of the three Ruan family members changed immediately.

Ruan Lingyu responded with a cold face: "Who are you saying this to? Who lacks manners, and who is a wild child? Ruan Feng and I are still alive and you speak such words, what are you implying?"

"Mianmian is my daughter, to talk like this in front of me, are you treating me like I’m dead and nonexistent?" Ruan Feng said with a stern face.

Ruan Yiqian outright issued an eviction order, "If you’re here to congratulate us, then speak kindly. If you’re here to cause trouble, then please leave! Our family doesn’t welcome you."

Originally, the family was happy, but their mother-daughter duo just had to start trouble.

Aunt Cheng realized she had let her mouth run away with her and wore an awkward expression, "I misspoke in the heat of the moment, I didn’t truly think that." When the Ruan family got stern, Aunt Cheng lost her bluster.

Basically, Aunt Cheng felt entitled because she was Ruan Feng’s only sister, and she thought no matter what, Ruan Feng would indulge her, which is why she acted so presumptuously.

Xining joined in reprimanding her, "Mom, how can you say such things? It’s not just that the aunt and uncle can’t bear to hear it, I’m also unhappy listening to it. How can you speak without any restraint?"

Xining was almost furious. She thought they could take advantage of the good mood during Shen Mianmian’s wedding to ask the Ruan family for a favor, but she didn’t expect things to turn out like this. It was definitely not appropriate to bring up those matters now, so they had to wait for another day.

With that thought, Xining stood up, "Uncle, Aunt, we’ll leave first. Calm down, and we’ll come back tomorrow."

She pulled Aunt Cheng to stand up, but Aunt Cheng was reluctant to leave, saying, "What’s the rush? I haven’t finished speaking yet."

Xining tried to stop her, but was unsuccessful. Aunt Cheng said, "Brother, I heard that Mianmian plans to act in Director Lu’s film after getting married, right? Mianmian has starred in quite a few of his movies in the past years, and now she’s acting in another right after her comeback, which shows they’re on good terms. Could you ask Mianmian to talk to Director Lu, and let Xining play the second female lead?"

Upon hearing this, everyone finally understood the true purpose of their visit.

Ruan Lingyu sneered, "If Xining wants to act, why doesn’t she just go audition? Why involve Mianmian, Mianmian is not the director."

"We did go." Aunt Cheng said angrily: "Who knew Director Lu would say both the female lead and the second female lead have been cast, that’s why we came to Mianmian."

Ruan Feng frowns and says, "This matter is pointless to look to Mianmian for. If you want to act, you should still go negotiate with the director yourself!"

He can’t stand the behavior of taking shortcuts through connections.

"Brother, am I your sister, or not?" Aunt Cheng started to play the emotional card, "What have I ever asked of you over the years? If it weren’t for Xining, I wouldn’t shamelessly come to you. It’s merely a favor; aren’t you willing to help your own sister even this much?"

Xining knew they would refuse, so she wasn’t surprised at all, but she wasn’t in a hurry. Before coming, they had agreed to play the emotional card. Even if Ruan Feng couldn’t help with this film, as long as Ruan Yiqian said a word, she would have other films to act in.
