Rebirth in the 80s: The Scholar Wife is Cute

Chapter 1288: Have You Met Cheng Xining?



"Oh! I suddenly felt some pain in my stomach and went to the restroom," Zheng Zhi said.

Luo Jingjing looked at him, "Really?"

She glanced outside, "Did you run into Cheng Xining?"

"No," Zheng Zhi answered very crisply, "I went to the men's restroom, and if she went, she would go to the women's restroom. How could I possibly run into her? After you left, I wanted to go with you, but suddenly felt a severe stomachache, so I went to a restroom, and just came out when I encountered you."

Luo Jingjing thought that he wouldn't dare to lie, and also considering that the banquet was about to start, all she could say was: "Hurry and come in!"

Zheng Zhi nodded and walked into the living room with her, as if nothing had happened in the restroom at all.

Luo Jingjing sat down for a while, and the waiters began serving the dishes. It wasn't until then that Cheng Xining came back. Luo Jingjing caught her eye, their gazes met, neither spoke, but Luo Jingjing always felt that there was a hint of mockery and provocation in Cheng Xining's eyes, not sure if it was an illusion.

But she really didn't have the time to think too much, as the waiters quickly filled the table with dishes. Shen Mianmian changed into a red cheongsam and began toasting with He Nan.

Everyone at the table quietly complimented how beautiful Shen Mianmian was, Luo Jingjing picked up the conversation, "Indeed very beautiful. The first time I saw her, I was amazed. My brother even intended to pursue her, but didn't succeed. Initially, I thought she was very picky, only to find out later she was already in a relationship with He Nan, no wonder Aunt Fu would bring her to the gatherings."

Five years ago, Luo Jingjing was still just a young girl; she had changed a lot since then. And looking at Shen Mianmian, still as beautiful and young as five years ago, unlike her who hadn't managed her weight well after having a child.

Someone said, "I heard she grew up in the countryside, not sure if that's true."

Just as Luo Jingjing was about to speak, Cheng Xining interjected: "Everyone knows about it, is there still a need to doubt whether it's true or not?"

Some people who were unaware of the details looked towards Cheng Xining, only to hear her add, "She was lost when she was a little over two years old, was later sold to Licheng, and was picked up by a couple who couldn't have children, and they raised her. When she returned to Beijing, she severeded father-daughter relations with them and never contacted them again."

"Really?"

Some, unaware of the details, gasped in surprise, considering Cheng Xining's tone, what Shen Mianmian did was too excessive.

"How could it not be? Who doesn't know about it?" Cheng Xining snorted disdainfully, "Others are just afraid to speak up, afraid of offending her, but I am not."

Cheng Xining, like five years ago, loved stirring things up, the difference being that back then she would speak ill of Shen Mianmian somewhat tactfully, but now she was very direct. After all, none of these people would dare to tattle. In the eyes of others, after all, she's Shen Mianmian's cousin."

No matter what, she is related to Shen Mianmian.

"Cheng Xining, it's not very nice for you to be saying this right now, right?" Luo Jingjing frowned and reminded her, "Shen Mianmian is your cousin, and this is her wedding. Isn't it inappropriate for you to talk like this here?"

"What's inappropriate?" Cheng Xining sneered, "I'm only stating the truth. You said it yourself, her last name is Shen, my uncle's last name is Ruan, isn't this the best proof?"

"..."

Luo Jingjing was left speechless, others exchanged looks.
