Chapter 800: He Followed Closely Like a Shadow (24)
After Qiao Lian said this, there was a pause before Shen Liangchuan sighed. Another pause. He said, “Okay.”
Qiao Lian followed with a sigh as well.
Letting go of this opportunity to get back at Shen Xiu, it would be hard to find another chance.
But actually…
Although Shen Liangchuan seemed cold and emotionless outwardly, he did have a deep bond with Shen Xiu.
Otherwise, he wouldn’t have let it go so easily.
She sighed again at this thought.
Then before she could speak another word, she heard his shallow and light breathing.
He had fallen asleep.
Her hand relaxed a little.
She continued with a light massage for another five minutes. She was about to stop, when the image of him lying down on the bed in the office this afternoon came to her mind suddenly.
Her gaze fell on his tightly creased forehead.
He needed a good rest.
–
Shen Zihao was quiet as he drove away from the Shen villa with Xia Nuannuan.
Xia Nuannuan, who was in the front passenger seat, turned to look at him. After thinking for a moment, she felt compelled to speak up and said, “Actually, Dad has been a little unreasonable on this matter.”
Xia Nuannuan had started addressing Shen Xiu as Dad since the New Year.
Shen Zihao felt even more bothered upon hearing this. He nodded and acknowledged, “Uh huh.”
She threw a sidelong glance at him and looked away as she said, “Given that Aunty Mei is such a meticulous person, she didn’t handle today’s matter well at all.”
Impatiently, Shen Zihao asked, “Why?”
Xia Nuannuan sighed and gave her view, “On one end it’s Dad, and one the other end it’s Mom. You are caught in a difficult position. Since you’re handling this matter… Mom would feel terrible if they agreed to drop charges. But if they did not agree to drop the charges, then the relationship between you and Mom would be strained.”
Shen Zihao paused after hearing her take on the situation.
Xia Nuannuan sneaked a glance at his expression, then cleared her throat before she continued, “Besides… since Dad knows that he’s in the wrong, then he should come and apologize. If Mom agrees to drop the charges, what would they do if he harasses them again?”
Shen Zihao’s expression darkened, but he chided her, “Stop speaking nonsense.”
Immediately, Xia Nuannuan fell silent.
After taking Xia Nuannuan back to the hotel, Shen Zihao drove back to the Shen family home.
As he walked towards the front door, he passed by the exquisite flower bed in the garden. They had pasted festive decorations all over the place, especially papers with the word “good fortune” written on them. Suddenly, the smashed-up living room with all its broken content came to her mind. His expression darkened.
When he stepped into the house, he saw that both Shen Xiu and Mei Feng were home.
They were sitting on the sofa in the living room.
When Mei Feng saw him, she immediately got up from her seat and said, “Zihao, you’re back? Your mother… has she agreed to drop the charges?”
Shen Zihao pursed his lips when her heard this.
Shen Xiu snorted and said, “One look and I can tell that she did not agree to it. The tr*mp, she won’t rest until she finds trouble with us! Doesn’t she know that Zihao is getting married soon? She wants to find trouble at such a critical time. I just knew it, nothing good comes out of them!”
For some reason, he recalled what Xia Nuannuan had just said in the car.
Dad was in the wrong,
But now, the old man wouldn’t even entertain the thought of making an apology.
And the things he said…
Shen Zihao frowned as he listened to his father go on and on. Then he finally couldn’t hold himself back anymore and said, “Dad, seriously. Why couldn’t you have waited for a while more? Why did you have to pick the New Year to destroy their home? And after doing all of this, you wish for them to drop the charges?”
