After she said those words, she extended her chopsticks to pick up the piece of chicken feet left on the plate. She then smiled and looked at Xia Yehua, saying, “Auntie, next time I go to your house for dinner, remember to prepare this dish for me, ok?”
These cheeky words turned the whole atmosphere around in a split second.
Mom Xia couldn’t help but point at her and say, “This child of mine, why are you so greedy?”
Xia Nuannuan smiled shyly and covered her mouth, before taking a bite of the chicken foot.
Xia Nuannuan couldn’t endure spicy food. She had only taken a bite, but she already found very spicy. However, she had already mentioned that she loved eating it, so she had no choice but to bear with the spiciness and take another bite.
But then, Shen Zihao snatched the chicken foot away, even before she could finish eating it. “Why did you take my food away?”
Everyone saw the details in this scene.
Dad Xia and Mom Xia both glanced at each other, satisfied.
Xia Yehua too, laughed.
Qiao Lian glanced at Mei Feng.
Initially, Shen Zihao hadn’t provoked much conflict with Xia Yehua. All of it had been caused by Mei Feng’s words.
She frowned and was trying to say something, when suddenly a cunning expression flashed across Qiao Lian’s eyes. She then pointed at Xia Nuannuan. “Nuannuan, why are you still calling her Auntie, even though you already have a marriage certificate? It’s going to be the new year soon, you should address her as Mom now. Let me tell you a secret, Mom has prepared a huge red packet!”
Upon hearing these words, Xia Nuannuan immediately blushed.
She sneaked a glance at Shen Zihao but realized that he wasn’t making any objections, so she said softly to Xia Yehua, “Mom”.
Xia Yehua grinned from ear to ear instantly.
“Aye!”
She then pulled out a huge red packet from her bag and passed it to Xia Nuannuan.
The atmosphere in the room became lively instantaneously.
Everyone was joyous and harmonious together. However, Qiao Lian noticed that Mei Feng’s expression looked a little uncomfortable, especially when Xia Nuannuan had addressed Xia Yehua as “Mom”. She had seemed to be gritting her teeth with anger.
But she was quick to adjust her mood as she lowered her head to look at the dishes on the table. After a while, she then smiled, raised her head and glanced at Qiao Lian.
That gaze immediately caused Qiao Lian to shudder involuntarily.
She did not know why, but Mei Feng’s calm and composed gaze her a sense of foreboding.
Just at this point, Shen Liangchuan’s cell phone began to ring.
He took a glance at the people at the table and then picked up his phone in a low-keyed manner. He then walked to the side of the room to answer the call.
Qiao Lian realized that as Shen Liangchuan was taking the call, Mei Feng’s gaze was directed at him and it was filled with satisfaction.
So Mei Feng already knew the content of the conversation?
As she was thinking this, Shen Liangchuan turned around and sat beside her.
Qiao Lian spoke with a soft low voice, “What’s up?”
Shen Liangchuan pursed his lips and looked at her. “Song Yuanxi went missing.”
When Qiao Lian heard these words, she immediately widened her eyes in horror.
Song Yuanxi… had gone missing?!
Just at this point, she heard a knock on the door of the private room. Following that, a waiter walked in together with a small woman. “Mr. Shen, this lady here says that she is here to look for you.”
After hearing these words, everyone turned their heads simultaneously and saw that Song Yuanxi was standing at the doorway, still dressed in her white gown from the rehab home.
She had probably ran out of the rehab home, as her face had turned pale and her body was still shivering slightly. But her eyes were fixated on Shen Liangchuan.
