Shen Zihao was stunned and rendered speechless .
His expression turned gloomy at once .
He cleared his throat and said, “My father doesn’t seem to understand what’s important and what’s not . Aunty Mei doesn’t even say anything about this, so why does he interfere? It’s not an issue, you can address her as Aunty Mei . Aunty Mei is young, it’s not right to call her Mom anyway . ”
Dad Xia looked at him and said with a half-smile, “Aunty Mei was there when your father said this . She did appear as though she wishes you’d call her Mom . Zihao, you should go home and sort things out . ”
Shen Zihao was silent for a moment and then nodded .
As Xia Nuannuan was about to get into the car after Dad Xia and Mom Xia, Shen Zihao suddenly said, “Nuannuan, why don’t you stay? We’re married and can live together . ”
At this suggestion, Dad Xia’s head popped out of the window from inside the car . “Zihao, you’d better not . Your father already thinks that the both of you are immature . In our Chinese tradition, you can only live together after the wedding ceremony . I wouldn’t want your father thinking that Nuannuan doesn’t know her customs . ”
Shen Zihao was not clueless . He realized from his words that his father had probably berated her . At once, his expression darkened .

After the Xia family left, Shen Zihao marched into the house in a huff .
He glared at Shen Xiu furiously . “Dad, this is too much! How could you do this?! This is your first meeting with them, you’re being so embarrassing!”
Shen Xiu snorted icily . “A family that could raise that vixen can’t be a very decent family . I’ve done a background check . This Xia Nuannuan was once a waitress at Glitter . How decent can she be? Once the child is born, I will have a DNA test done . I’m not going to bring up someone else’s child . ”
Shen Zihao was stunned, speechless .
For the first time, he was seeing this acrimonious side of his father .
Shen Xiu had not been like this in the past .
This was also the first time he considered the possibility that, years ago when his mother left the Shen family home without a cent in her pocket and in such a hurry, she might have had her reasons .
For a moment, he looked distracted and lost in his thoughts .

He needed some silence .
The Shen family’s dinner invitation not only caused anxiety in the Xia family, even Xia Yehua was nervous about it .
She knew more than anyone else what sort of man Shen Xiu was .
It was only when Xia Nuannuan and her parents were back in the hotel that Xia Yehua heaved a sigh of relief .
Qiao Lian wanted to both laugh and cry when she saw that look on the woman’s face .
Unfortunately, very soon, she would find herself unable to laugh .
Around 10 p . m . that night, the villa district’s guard called them saying someone was looking for Qiao Lian .

She was puzzled . Who could be looking for her?
The guard was tripping over his own words and only said that she should go take a look .
Having no choice, she put on her jumper and walked outside .
“I’ll come with you . ” Shen Liangchuan followed her .
“Why? You’re worried about me? Afraid that I might be sneaking out for a date with another man?” Qiao Lian joked as they walked out of the door .
Unfortunately, very soon, she would find herself unable to laugh .
Just outside the door, she saw that a small crowd had gathered .
Someone with a sharp eye spotted her, hurriedly walked up to her and grabbed her by the sleeve . “It’s her! The scammers’ daughter! Return my family’s money! Return my son to me!” the person cried .
Upon hearing this, Qiao Lian felt a part of her brain snap .
