Xia Nuannuan said in a low voice, “Aunt Xia has a weak heart . We haven’t made a thorough investigation on this matter, Zihao, don’t upset Aunt Xia . ”
Shen Zihao gave an icy humph and said, “Haven’t made a thorough investigation? Isn’t it clear enough? What is there to investigate?”
He had said these words as a conclusion, but he ultimately did not lose his temper at Xia Yehua . Instead, he turned to Dad Xia and Mom Xia and said, “Dad, Mom, let me take you back . ”
Since this situation had happened, no one was in the mood to eat .
Dad Xia and Mom Xia knew neither Mei Feng nor Xia Yehua well . Hence, even though they liked Xia Yehua more, they couldn’t say much .
Dad Xia could only look at Xia Yehua and say, “Well, in that case we’ll come and see you another day . ”
Xia Yehua nodded .
Shen Zihao led the group of people out .
Before leaving, Xia Nuannuan turned around and glanced at Qiao Lian .
Qiao Lian nodded and gestured to her not to worry .
After the people had left, there was only Qiao Lian and Xia Yehua in hte private room .
Qiao Lian approached Xia Yehua to support her and found that her body was slightly trembling .
Seeing her mother-in-law in this state made her so furious she wished she could claw Mei Feng’s face .
Obviously, she knew that Mom had a weak heart, but she would provoke her over and over again .
And Shen Zihao, that fool!
It was such a simple situation and he wasn’t discerning the truth .
As she was cursing Shen Zihao in her mind, Xia Yehua spoke up, “I don’t blame him . I can only blame myself for being so naive to think that leaving him with the Shen family was the better thing to do for him . ”
At these words, her eyes reddened and she gave a bitter smile .
Worried that Xia Yehua was feeling ill, Qiao Lian quickly took out her rescue pills from her handbag and gave one to her . They sat in the private room for a little while until the woman felt better .
When Qiao Lian and Xia Yehua got back to the villa, Shen Liangchuan was not home yet .
It was the New Year festive season, so most of the housekeepers had gone back to their own homes . Only Auntie Li remained in the villa .
When she saw them both, she immediately came up to them, looking very worried . “Senior Madam, why do you look so pale? What happened?”
Qiao Lian shook her head at the housekeeper, letting her know that they didn’t want to talk about it .
Then she helped Xia Yehua into the bedroom .
After the woman had fallen asleep and her condition seemed stabilized, Qiao Lian heaved a sigh of relief .
She did not return to her own room, but sat on the sofa in Xia Yehua’s bedroom . She was in a bit of a daze .
A lot of things had happened over dinner .
It made her confused .
She was furious at how Mei Feng had turned the tables on them . But right now the room was quiet and still apart, apart from the light breathing of the sleeping woman . All the thoughts resulting from the earlier episode came flooding into her mind .
What happened eight years ago was like an obsession .
The more Shen Liangchuan tried to hide it, the more she wanted to know the truth .
Up till now, only three people really knew what had happened .
Shen Liangchuan, Song Yuanxi and another one… was Mei Feng .
As she thought about all of this, she heard the sound of car engine coming from outside .
Immediately, she stood up and quietly left the room . She saw Shen Liangchuan enter the house, bringing with him a cold gust from the icy air outside .
Qiao Lian looked at his figure and asked, “Where’s Song Yuanxi?”
He cast his gaze down an said quietly, “She’s run away, I couldn’t find her . ”
