Shen Liangchuan’s pupils shrank the moment he heard the words “express delivery.”
He looked at the courier and then shifted his gaze to his name tag. It looked like he was an official worker.
Just at this moment, Xia Yehua came out, assisted by Qiao Lian.
At the other end of the courtyard, Shen Zihao had helped Mei Feng into the car and was just about to walk into the driver’s seat, when Xia Yehua called him, “Zihao.”
Shen Zihao halted.
Not knowing how to face Xia Yehua, he did not turn around.
If she was going to say anything negative about Mei Feng, should he retaliate or listen?
As this thought ran through his mind, Xia Yehua said, “We already requested to drop the charges.”
He froze at those words.
He turned around. There was an expression of disbelief on his face as he looked at Xia Yehua. She held his gaze steadily and said, “We dropped the charges early this morning.”
What she did not say was that they had already dropped the charges before Mei Feng turned up.
Hence, she never even had bad intentions with Mei Feng.
Shen Zihao narrowed his eyes at once and turned to look at the woman already sitting in the car.
She was pale and shivering from the cold, looking extremely pitiful.
Shen Zihao’s expression darkened and he pursed his lips.
He didn’t know what to say, except, “Thank you, Mom.”
Xia Yehua shook her head slowly and paused before she said, “I only hope that you will become an upright, discerning and responsible man.”
After these words, she turned around, unable to hide the disappointment on her face. She walked back into the house slowly, with Qiao Lian accompanying her.
Shen Zihao stood there watching his mother’s desolate and pitiful figure. He choked.
As he clenched his fists tightly, he felt as though his heart was being squeezed by an invisible hand. The pain was almost unbearable.
He took a deep breath before he turned and walked back to the car.
On the way home, Shen Xiu ranted non-stop.
“That tr*mp, it’s unbelievable!”
“She’s becoming more and more scheming! She is capable of doing such unscrupulous things. How is your Aunty Mei going to face people in the future?”
“…”
The endless background nagging irritated Shen Zihao, so he raised his voice and said, “Dad, I think that’s enough.”
This caused Shen Xiu to suddenly choke. After a short pause, he spoke again, “Why? I haven’t finished. If she dares to do these things, then she shouldn’t be afraid of being talked about like this. I want you to stay away from them in the future, you are not to visit their house again! They are not to come to the wedding and neither will you send them an invitation. I do not welcome anyone from that family! They don’t even care about your wedding, creating so much trouble on the eve of the occasion.”
From the rear view mirror, Shen Zihao could see that his father’s face and neck had turned red with exasperation.
In the past, he had always felt that his father was a dignified man and scary when he was angered. But right now, he only felt that Shen Xiu was an irresponsible.
He suddenly spoke, “Dad, if you hadn’t gone to their villa and wrecked their house, I don’t think they’d have pressed charges against you.”
His remark rendered Shen Xiu speechless.
Infuriated, he was about to continue when Mei Feng intervened, “Zihao, your dad has a bad temper and he might have been in the wrong this time. Sigh… but your Dad and I only have one son, of course we hope that your wedding event will be a perfect. You don’t have to worry about that, we will give you the best of everything…”
