Shen Zihao was now having lunch at the hotel with Xia Nuannuan and her parents.

They were scheduled to go into the shop and try on wedding dresses after lunch.

The short time they had meant that it was too late to get a custom-tailored wedding dress. Hence, they had to select one off-the-rack to be modified.

Fortunately, Xia Nuannuan was not fussy about this. Besides, she was pretty and not particular about clothes.

As they were eating, Shen Zihao received a phone call from Shen Xiu.

The moment he picked up, he heard Shen Xiu’s voice exclaiming, “Hurry up and look at the Internet! Your mother went really too far this time. How could she shame Mei Feng like this? She’s your stepmother no matter what! If she has an issue, then she should take it out on me. What does she get out of embarra.s.sing people like that? I only broke a few things around the house, what’s the big deal? Does she need to go to this extreme?”

Shen Zihao had a splitting headache from listening to all of these things going on at home.

He frowned and asked, “What’s the matter now?”

“Go have a look at the video and you’ll see. Does she think that by putting up a video like that on the Internet, it would show the world that I, Shen Xiu, have been defeated? This is too much!”

After this tirade, Shen Xiu hang up.

Shen Zihao had no idea what was going on and picked up his mobile phone to log into Weibo. Then, he saw the video.

In the video, there was a woman kneeling down and, even though only her side profile could be seen, it was obvious that it was Mei Feng.

Shen Zihao’s pupils shrank at once. Then he heard Mei Feng speaking in the video, “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!”

Shen Zihao sprang up from his seat at once and his eyes reddened.

It was too much that Mei Feng had been embarra.s.sed like this.

He was heaving in anger now and his expression darkened. He nodded at Dad Xia and Mom Xia, saying, “Something came up at home and I need to go back at once.”

He stood up and walked away.

Xia Nuannuan hurriedly followed him and asked, “What’s the matter?”

Shen Zihao’s eyes were red as he said, “On the one hand, there is my real mother, and the other is my stepmother. Why are they so different from each other? If it weren’t for the age gap, even I would have suspected that Mei Feng was my real mother instead.”

Xia Nuannuan kept silent when she heard this and did not say another word.

However, she was starting to get worried.

Still keeping silent, she looked at Zihao open the driver seat door.

Shen Zihao gave her a glance.

She said, “I’m here with you.”

I’m here with you.

Those words warmed his heart.

This was the charm of Xia Nuannuan, she was like rain that moistened everything around silently. Her words were always measured and never offensive.

To the extent that he felt that no matter what happened, she would be with him and behind him.

She looked weak, but she had great wisdom and the things that she said were always logical.

Unconsciously, his heart quietened.

Xia Nuannuan said, “What was Aunty Mei doing at the Shen family villa?”

Shen Zihao sighed and said, “She went there because of that situation with Dad.”

Her eyes flashed as she said, “Oh.” Then, she sighed again and continued, “Did Mom leave the Shen family because Dad and Aunty Mei were tangled up in a suspicious relations.h.i.+p?

Shen Zihao humphed icily at once and said, “That was just an excuse!”

Xia Nuannuan was stumped for a moment before she said, “But didn’t Aunty Mei end up with Dad?”
