Mei Feng was smiling broadly when she saw Shen Zihao, but the moment she noticed the people behind him, especially when she saw Xia Yehua, she froze.
Frowning, she wondered why Xia Yehua was there.
On a closer look… it appeared like Xia Yehua had gone to Hainan with Shen Zihao?
Following this, she saw Xia Yehua talking to Shen Zihao and the way he turned to look at her. Mei Feng suddenly panicked.
Was Xia Yehua going to take Shen Zihao away from her!?
She clenched her fists tightly at the thought of this.
Then, she saw Shen Zihao striding up to her.
Qiao Lian followed Shen Liangchuan and walked to them as well. They heard Mei Feng asking Shen Zihao, “How was Hainan? You’re so tanned and you’ve lost weight too… Were you not used to the food there? Let’s go home quickly, your Dad’s home waiting for us! We’ve prepared lots of delicious food for you.”
Shen Zihao nodded.
As Mei Feng turned around ready to leave with Shen Zihao, he suddenly asked her, “Oh, Aunty Mei, how many cars came with you?”
Smiling, Mei Feng replied, “One, of course.”
Shen Zihao nodded and said, “Well then let’s take a detour and drop my mom and the rest home first.”
My mom… the rest…
He had addressed them affectionately without any sense of distance between them.
Mei Feng clenched her fists and looked in Xia Yehua’s direction. She looked like she was about to speak, when she caught Shen Zihao eyes. She quickly smiled and said, “Why, of course!”
With a wave of her hand, Xia Yehua meant to decline and said, “I won’t trouble you, please go ahead without us—”
Before she could finish, Xia Nuannuan interrupted, “Mom, we’re family, there’s no trouble. Because of Big Brother’s identity, he’ll be recognized quickly if he stays here. There’ll be another commotion. You’d better leave with us.”
We’re family… Big Brother…
Xia Yehua smiled and said, “Ok then, I won’t refuse then!”
Hearing that exchange made Mei Feng’s blood boil.
The car that had come to pick Shen Zihao up was a large commercial seven-seater. Hence, the five of them together with Mei Feng and the driver fitted nicely into it.
After getting into the car, Mei Feng turned around in the front seat next to the driver to chat with Shen Zihao.
However, he and Xia Nuannuan were instead engrossed in a conversation with Xia Yehua.
And she found herself hardly able to contribute to the content of their conversation.
All along the way, Mei Feng only felt one thing…
That all of them were a family and she was the outsider!
How could this have happened?
If Shen Zihao and Xia Yehua made up, then wouldn’t all her efforts in the past eight years had been in vain?
At this thought, a vicious glint flashed in her eyes.
When was it that all of this had started to go wrong?
Her gaze turned to the rear view mirror and fell on Xia Nuannuan.
It had all started when this girl came into the picture.
Xia Nuannuan.
The car arrived at the Shen family villa.
As she got out of the car, Xia Yehua told Shen Zihao, “Zihao, didn’t you say that you like Auntie Li’s Braised Pork? Come over when you’re free, I’ll get her to prepare that for you.”
When Auntie Li, who had come out to receive the family, heard this, she immediately said, “Aiyo, what a coincidence! There’s braised pork cooking in the pot now. Probably because it somehow knew that Young Master Zihao would be dropping by!”
Shen Zihao’s eyes shone with delight. “Then let’s have lunch before going home!”
Xia Nuannuan nodded and said, “I stayed here for a month and the food I missed most was braised pork!”
When Mei Feng heard this, she quickly said, “Zihao, your Dad is waiting to eat with you at home.”
