Was this some sort of new lingo that was the trend on the internet?
Xia Yehua didn’t want to open her mouth to ask, fearing that they would laugh at her ignorance.
Instead, she pretended that she knew what they were talking about, “Yes. I understand. Fine, you guys go upstairs to rest.”
Qiao Lian wondered to herself, “What did she understand exactly?”
She glanced over at Shen Liangchuan, stupefied. Had Xia Yehua actually figured out what they were talking about?
Ahhhhhhh!
That would be so painfully embarrassing.
She turned red immediately.
Shen Liangchuan, on the other hand, was calm and collected. Without missing a beat, he headed up the stairs steadily.
As both of them wanted to change into their pajamas, Qiao Lian followed him closely. Taking an opportunity when Xia Yehua wasn’t paying attention, she reached out to give Shen Liangchuan a hard pinch on his arm.
It’s all your fault!
Shen Liangchuan, on the other hand, turned around and looked at her with much fondness in his gaze without saying a word.
Xia Nuannuan stood at the doorway, observing the couple.
They showed their love for each other through body language and small gestures.
Whereas Zihao and her…
She would feel nervous for a long time, even to just speak with Shen Zihao.
Would they really be able to make the marriage a success?
She took in a deep breath. She thought she had calmed down enough about this, but now she was getting anxious all over again.
–
All of them had gone upstairs.
Xia Yehua was alone downstairs, watching a TV programme.
Auntie Li sat next to her to keep her company.
In the middle of the programme, the home phone suddenly rang.
Xia Yehua picked up the handset and Shen Xiu’s voice came through, “Are you aware that Zihao wishes to marry some ordinary girl who has absolutely no net worth?”
Xia Yehua replied after a short pause, “Yes, I know.”
“And you agreed?!”
Xia Yehua did not consider it a problem. “Why wouldn’t I agree?”
“That girl looks strange and there’s something sinister about her. She must be fooling around with Zihao. He’s young and has been seduced. As his mother, not only did you not give him good advice, on the contrary, you’ve agreed to the marriage. How are you fit to be his mother?!”
Xia Yehua was by now used to Shen Xie’s nonsense and was unaffected by it.
She laughed icily and sneered, “What about you? Haven’t you agreed too?”
Shen Xiu gave a cold snort and continued, “That’s different. I don’t wish for our father and son relationship to be interfered with!”
Xia Yehua found his remark ridiculous. What did he mean by that?
Their father and son relationship was important, but her mother and son relationship was not?
Shen Xiu immediately demanded, “You are to tell him that you do not agree, he can’t just bring any girl home. So what if that girl is pregnant? She can deliver the baby and we will take the child in. We, the Shen family, can afford to bring up any child!”
At these words, Xia Yehua’s eyes immediately lit up. “What?”
“Ha! Now you realize it’s wrong too? That girl is using the child to blackmail us, we don’t even know for sure if the child is Zihao’s. You—”
Before he could finish, Xia Yehua tossed the phone aside and made her way upstairs, yelling, “Nuannuan, Nuannuan, are you really pregnant? My god, I’m going to have grandchildren!”
Shen Xiu: …
Xia Nuannuan was resting in her room. When she heard Xia Yehua, she walked out of her room, her face bright scarlet. “Aunt Xia, I—”
Xia Yehua was overwhelmed with emotions at this point. She looked at the girl’s abdomen and exclaimed, “Oh my, this is a serious matter! Why didn’t you say so earlier? Hurry, hurry, Auntie Li, you have to boil her some chicken soup tonight!”
On another note, the people in Shen Villa had no idea that on the Internet, a post was silently going viral.
