Chapter 796: 796
Xia Yehua was wearing a two-piece set of silk pajamas .

In that instant, her top was only slightly lifted to expose her lower back .
She had fair skin and, even though she was elderly now and her skin had lost its firmness, one could still tell that she had been exquisite in her youth .
And now, on that fair skin, there was a huge bruise .
Shen Liangchuan gave Shen Zihao a mocking look and said, “He only told you that he injured his back . Did he tell you that it was because he hit Mom that I shoved him?”
“Have you seen the injury on his back? Is it as bad as Mom’s?”
“He berates me for being disobedient . Does he mean I should watch him hit Mom and not do anything?”
Shen Zihao could only hang his head, as Shen Liangchuan fired away these questions .
Although he hated Xia Yehua for abandoning him, he had been keeping an eye on how she and Shen Liangchuan had been doing all these years .
He knew that it had been a long and hard journey for them to get where they were today .

Even though they were now living in villa and had three or four housekeepers, compared to what the Shen family had, this villa was the equivalent of a tiny corner .
Hence from his perspective, Mom and Shen Liangchuan were almost living in poverty, but this was the price they had to pay for abandoning him .
And because of this, he also felt that it had been awfully wrong of Shen Xiu to bring a bunch of men to harass them .
Besides, Xia Yehua’s back…
Shen Zihao did not speak another word, but took Xia Nuannuan’s hand, saying, “I understand . We’ll go home now then . ”
He did not bring up another unreasonable request .
He could not say more, because he found himself not being able to face Xia Yehua .
“Zihao, why don’t you have dinner before you leave?”
Xia Yehua took two steps towards them, hoping to keep them for a little longer .

Shen Zihao halted, yet he said, “There’s no need for that . ”
He led Xia Nuannuan out of the door, into the car, and then drove away from the villa .
Xia Yehua sighed when she heard the car starting up .
She turned and looked at Shen Liangchuan . After a moment of hesitation, she suggested, “Shen Liangchuan, why not—”
“No way . ” Shen Liangchuan was adamant . “If we give in this time, there will be a next time . ”
Xia Yehua choked, unable to speak .
Seeing this, Qiao Lian quickly said, “Mom, Shen Liangchuan, let’s talk after we’ve eaten . ”
Xia Yehua looked like she was going to say something, but eventually kept quiet .
The three of them sat at the dining table and ate in silence .

Shen Liangchuan had not slept much for the past three days, he was exhausted . He had kept going only through his strong will .
Because he hadn’t had enough rest, he had poor appetite and could not eat more after taking two bites .
When Xia Yehua realized this, she immediately asked, “What’s wrong? You’ve been too busy and you’re feeling unwell?”
He lifted his head and said indifferently, “It’s nothing . ”
Qiao Lian gave him a worried look upon hearing this .
But she said nothing, lowered her head and continued eating .
If he had no wish to talk about it, then let it be .
She already knew who the man in the picture on the tombstone was, so it was only a matter of time until the whole truth was out .
As she was thinking this, someone rang the doorbell .
Auntie Li walked over to open the door . Shortly, she returned and said, “It’s an express delivery for us, Senior Madam . Did you buy something on the internet?”
Xia Yehua was surprised and replied, “No . Was it Xiao Qiao?”
Qiao Lian was surprised too and answered, “No . ”
Following this, all three of them looked at Shen Liangchuan simultaneously .
Qiao Lian noticed that Shen Liangchuan was initially surprised and almost reflexively answered, “I didn’t…”
