They had started with talking about his dad being in the wrong this time and, suddenly, the conversation took a turn to focus on what they were doing for his wedding.
Shen Zihao quickly stopped paying attention.
But in the car, there was another pair of eyes, looking at him with confidence.
Shen Zihao paused and turned to glance at Xia Nuannuan, who gave him a look of encouragement. At once, he felt as though standing up to Shen Xiu just then had been absolutely worth it.
He now unconsciously sat taller, like he had found his own spine. Interrupting Mei Feng, he said, “Aunty Mei, Dad, where this matter is concerned, the fault lies with us. I suggest that the both of you do not go to my mother’s house in the future.”
His words were firm and there was a certain authority in them.
Mei Feng was stunned and looked at Shen Zihao in disbelief.
What happened today had fallen completely outside her expectations, and the outcomes too had not been what she anticipated.
Under normal circumstances, her act of kneeling outside the Shen villa would have caused Shen Zichuan to react explosively. His temper would have gotten the better of him and it would have ended with Xia Yehua being provoked to the point of fainting.
But today, he had remained unusually cool and calm.
So much so that in her surprise, she had almost given herself away.
Fortunately, the bodyguard was intelligent and had come up with the possibility of the surveillance camera being the source of the video.
Otherwise, the whole plan would have ended in disaster.
But in the car, the few times that she had tried to move him with her words, he had cut her off.
Mei Feng frowned, her gaze now falling on Xia Nuannuan.
A moment ago she had clearly seen the girl giving Shen Zihao a look, as if encouraging him to say those unpleasant words.
All this time, she had thought that Xia Nuannuan was just an ordinary girl. But she hadn’t expected that she would have such a great influence on Shen Zihao.
She narrowed her eyes.
Soon, they arrived at the villa.
Mei Feng got off the car and was about to speak when Shen Zihao got into the car again. He told them, “Dad, Aunty Mei, I’m taking Nuannuan back.”
Mei Feng was stumped.
In the past, whenever she was injured, he would make it his priority to look after her and ensure her wellbeing without fail.
But now, he was going to take Xia Nuannuan back first.
This realization made her exceptionally uncomfortable, but she could only nod.
The young couple drove away in the car.
Along the way, Xia Nuannuan stole a glance at him and said, “All mothers in the world spare a thought for their children. After what you said to Mom today, she still made peace. Actually, in this whole matter, the person who has suffered the most is Mom.”
Shen Zihao frowned.
Indeed, who else could have suffered more?
Her house had been wrecked by Shen Xiu.
And today’s episode…
He suddenly turned, looked at Xia Nuannuan and asked, “Who do you think uploaded that video on the Internet?”
Looking straight into his eyes, Xia Nuannuan replied, “Actually, no matter who uploaded it, it’s not important.”
Shen Zihao paused and then asked, “So what is important?”
“What’s important is that Mom was greatly saddened.”
Shen Zihao was stunned.
Xia Nuannuan sighed and continued, “I’ll still say the same. I believe that there’s nothing going on between Mom and Tianyu’s father.”
Shen Zihao kept silent.
After a while, Xia Nuannuan sighed softly again and added, “Actually, from her everyday behavior at home, it’s easy to tell what sort of a person Mom is. You grew up around her. Do you not understand what kind of person she is at all?”
At this remark, Shen Zihao looked up.
Xia Nuannuan spoke again, “You have the answer in your heart, haven’t you?”
Shen Zihao clenched his fist and said, “But I don’t understand why she’d do this.”
