Xia Nuannuan did not attempt to answer his question.
She did not understand this family, nor did she have an understanding of Mei Feng.
There was only so much she could do for Shen Zihao.
–
After Shen Zihao took Xia Nuannuan back to the hotel, he drove home alone.
Upon entering the house, he saw Mei Feng in the living room, probably waiting for him.
He walked into the house.
The woman stood up immediately, her face radiantly happy when she saw him. “Zihao, you’re home!”
This was a familiar scene that once upon a time had brought Shen Zihao much warmth.
Now, however, his expression was rather subdued.
He merely nodded.
Mei Feng attended to him and prepared lunch for him.
Seeing Mei Feng working around, he couldn’t help but ask, “Aunty Mei, how are your legs?”
She smiled immediately and said, “They’re okay.”
When she said this, the housekeeper next to her interrupted, “How could you be okay? Madam, your knees have got huge bruises on them and you nearly couldn’t walk! If it hadn’t been for Xiao Hong massaging your legs for a long time, you probably wouldn’t have been able to get out of bed yet.”
Mei Feng waited for her to finish before telling her, “Hush now!”
She looked at Shen Zihao and assured him, “Zihao, I’m okay. Hurry up and eat, don’t starve yourself.”
Everything was centred around him.
This was the Mei Feng that he had known eight years ago.
Initially, he had had his suspicions about her motives.
But he believed that the woman couldn’t have been acting for the last eight years.
His expression softened as he looked at Mei Feng. “Aunty Mei, you need to go to the hospital to have your legs treated without delay.”
She smiled and said, “Don’t worry, hurry up and eat.”
Noticing that he was distracted as he ate, she sighed and continued, “Zihao, although your mother abandoned you at that time, she must have had her own difficulties. Look at what happened today. She relented for your sake.”
Shen Xiu, who was just walking down from the second floor, gave an icy snort when he heard these words. “What do you mean for his sake? The way I see it, it was because you knelt at her doorstep.”
Mei Feng glared at him and retorted, “Don’t speak nonsense.”
Then she turned back to Shen Zihao and said, “Zihao, don’t listen to your dad’s nonsense. Of course your mother loves you very much.”
In the past, Shen Zihao would have jumped at this point in the conversation.
Because if there was one thing that he never liked to hear, it would be “your mother loves you very much.”
Mei Feng had sacrificed herself, and even suffered such long hardships, so that Shen Zihao and Xia Yehua would be estranged from each other.
So this episode, after all, should be considered a success, right?
But unexpectedly, when Shen Zihao heard these words, he merely lifted his head. He stared at her intently for a brief moment before he nodded and said, “I think you’re right, Aunty Mei. No matter what, she has relented, so I shouldn’t hate her too much.”
Mei Feng was flabbergasted.
She looked at him with widened eyes, as though he was a complete stranger.
Following this, she heard Shen Zihao say, “In the past, you used to tell me that there was never a single bad mother in the world. I didn’t use to believe that, but Nuannuan has told me the same thing… Now I do feel that my mother cares for me.”
Xia Nuannuan… Xia Nuannuan again!
Mei Feng clenched her fists immediately.
She must not continue to sit back and do nothing about it.

Back at the Shen villa.
After Shen Zihao and the group left, Shen Liangchuan took the express delivery package and headed upstairs. He walked into the study and opened the package.
This time, it was another card.
The words on the card had finally changed: [Chuan Zi, have you forgotten my anger?]
