This move on Mei Feng’s part was too sudden, so Xia Yehua was certainly not prepared and rather shocked.
However, no one stepped forward to help her up, even after they got over the initial surprise.
She had broken up Xia Yehua’s family and caused Xia Yehua and her son to leave the Shen family without a cent in their pockets. Hence, no one felt that the kneeling was uncalled for.
Xia Yehua certainly had earned the right to deserve it.
She laughed icily and asked, “What do you think you’re doing?”
Qiao Lian played along with much sarcasm and said, “Mom, I do remember learning somewhere that in the old days, concubines marrying into a family would have to bow down to the lawful wife and head of the household. I wonder if Madam Mei here is asking you to acknowledge her place in the family?”
The atmosphere of the solemnly silent room at once became relaxed with Qiao Lian’s evil sense of humor.
Mocked, Mei Feng’s expression visibly darkened.
Feigning ignorance, Qiao Lian continued, “Oh, but we’re in modern times now and there really aren’t so many formalities. Madam Mei, I think you’d better get up.”
Mei Feng gritted her teeth in anger at Qiao Lian’s words.
Her chest was heaving.
But given that she was the one who had climbed to where she was through silent endurance, she managed to curb her emotions very quickly. She hung her head to hide the hatred in her eyes and said, “Sister Xia, Zihao’s Mom... I beg of you to drop the charges, please. Zihao’s wedding is coming. It’s unlucky to have to deal with such things when we’re preparing for a wedding! For Zihao’s sake, I beg of you.”
Her words exasperated Xia Yehua.
For the sake of Zihao...
In the first place, she had already decided to drop the charges. But now, wouldn’t it look like she was dropping the charges because Mei Fung had come to kneel before her and beg her?
Xia Yehua was infuriated and frowned. Her fists were tightly clenched.
Still kneeling before her, Mei Feng continued, “I know you dislike me and you’ve held a grudge for all these years. But I’m kneeling before you now to appease you. Please don’t make it difficult for Zihao. In his heart, he does think of you as his mother!”
Xia Yehua was speechless.
Since when had she ever made things difficult for Shen Zihao?
All she wanted was for Shen Xiu to stop creating trouble for them.
She frowned as she took a step backward.
Qiao Lian stepped up. Looking straight at Mei Feng, she said, “Madam Mei, please leave.”
Mei Feng shook her head stubbornly and said, “I’m going to keep kneeling here if you won’t forgive Zihao.”
This low-down move!
Qiao Lian exchanged a look with Shen Liangchuan and smiled icily at the woman. “Continue to kneel then, but please do this outside and not in our house. Otherwise, we will call the police!”
Mei Feng was stunned for a moment. However, she saw that Qiao Lian had taken a step towards her and was about to make some sort of a move, so she quickly stood up and retreated.
At once, the front door was slammed shut.
Mei Feng narrowed her eyes and, after a moment, nodded at one of the bodyguards.
The man took out his cell phone and showed Mei Feng the scene he had just recorded.
Mei Feng had a look at the footage and laughed icily after that. Then she released it on the internet.
Matters like this would thoroughly embarrass the Shen family if they went public.
She was just an insignificant woman, so she was not afraid of being ashamed.
What she was more worried about was Shen Zihao being bought off by Xia Yehua
Ever since Xia Nuannuan and Shen Zihao had registered their marriage, she had been feeling as though the boy was no longer under her control.
She would show Shen Zihao how unrelenting his mother was—while on the other hand, she would show how she would subject herself to such poor treatment for his sake.
At this thought, her expression turned determined. She took one step backward and knelt down again.
At the same time, on the Internet, a video was beginning to go viral. It was a video of a woman kneeling before the front door of a villa, an exceptionally bleak scene in the midst of the festive season’s celebrations.
