Chapter 2245 - Scolding
“Er…” Rong Lihua’s mouth twitched. It wouldn’t be nice to call her auntie, right?
“Hello, Auntie Shen. Auntie Shen looks so young. She shouldn’t be 35 yet!”
Xue Yating smiled and greeted her. Her beautiful eyes were sparkling.
An Xianming lowered his head and looked at Xue Yating. He knew that her mind was filled with weird ideas. Now when she didn’t even use vulgarities when insulting others.
No one could tell the hidden meaning behind her words. Just by looking at her performance, they would think that she said it because she was innocent.
Huh… Innocent?
Xue Yating was not innocent! She was best at pretending to be a pig to eat the tiger!
“…”
The word “auntie” almost made Shen Ranran vomit blood. This wretched girl was deliberately mocking her age.
She wasn’t young anymore, but she wasn’t even 30 yet!
She really didn’t know if she was really innocent or just pretending to be stupid. In short, Shen Ranran really hated this girl called Xue Yating!
Seeing that Shen Ranran was silent, Xue Yating suddenly realized something and asked Rong Lihua, “Oh, right, Madam! This Miss Shen is the daughter of the Shen family that you mentioned this morning, right? Didn’t you say that you wanted to introduce Auntie Shen to my uncle? Since everyone is here now, why don’t you just ask directly?”
Xue Yating put on an innocent look and asked An Xianming, “Uncle, do you like this Auntie Shen? Are you willing to marry her?”
It was an awkward question. Shen Ranran had never thought that she would have to face An Xianming in person. She waited for his answer and her heart almost stopped.
What would he say?
Rong Lihua secretly blamed Xue Yating for being so meddlesome. How could she directly ask such a thing in public?
If her son directly rejected it, wouldn’t that be equivalent to slapping the Shen family’s face?
In order to let Xue Yating understand his feelings, An Xianming answered in front of everyone, “Ranran and I have always been friends. At most, I treat her as my sister. In my heart, she is just like Tongtong.”
As soon as she said this, Shen Ranran could hear the sound of her heart breaking as if someone had ruthlessly stomped all over it.
Her dignity and pride had been thrown to the ground by the An family today.
At this moment, it was as if An Xianming had directly rejected her. This made her feel extremely embarrassed.
After An Xianming finished speaking, he said to his mother, “Mom, I’ll take Tingting upstairs to change her clothes before coming down to eat.”
After they left, Rong Lihua quickly came over to comfort Shen Ranran. “Ranran, don’t worry too much! My Xianming actually doesn’t think that way. He’s just embarrassed to say it in front of you.”
An Zhitong also emphasized in time, “Sister Ranran, no matter what, I think highly of you and my brother! In my heart, I’ve long treated you as my sister-in-law!”
Shen Ranran was so angry that her heart was trembling, but she still pretended to be fine on the surface. She forced a smile and said, “Thank you, Tong Tong, and Auntie, for your comfort. I’m not worried. I know Xianming’s character. He’s the type who is cold on the outside but warm on the inside. He’s good to Tingting because he watched her grow up. I really envy Tingting.”
Shen Ranran had already learned some things about Xue Yating and An Xianming from Rong Lihua. She knew about their relationship. That kind of intimate relationship was something she really envied.
“What’s there to be jealous about? They are uncle and nephew. It won’t affect anything.”
“Yes, I know. I hope to be someone who can help Xianming in his career. That’s enough.”
