Three days later.
Xia Nuannuan was discharged from the hospital.
On the day she was discharged, a crowd of reporters was waiting outside the hospital for a long time.
They struggled with the reporters for a long time and Xia Yehua even had to find them additional help, before they could successfully leave the hospital.
After they arrived at the little rental apartment, Xia Yehua looked at Xia Nuannuan and asked her, “Nuannuan, do you really wish to give up on the Shen family?”
Xia Yehua thought highly of Xia Nuannuan and wanted to fight for her.
Xia Nuannuan lowered her gaze at her question.
After a pause, she looked out of the window blankly. She said, “Mom—actually, I should be addressing you as Aunt Xia now—do you think it’s still possible for us to be together?”
Was it possible?
Mei Feng was right about one thing she had said during her last visit to the hospital.
No matter what, now that the situation had turned so bad, there was no possibility for her and Shen Zihao to stay together.
The Shen family could not and would not lose this man.
And she, Xia Nuannuan, did not wish to live the rest of her life carrying this reputation.
She wanted to leave this place and start life afresh again elsewhere.
She had lost all hope in life, all she felt was a deep despair.
Xia Yehua knew that trying to talk her around would be a futile effort, so she had no option but to leave.
However, right after Xia Yehua had left, Mei Feng charged into the apartment with a few people.
She looked at the Xia Nuannuan, who was still terribly pale and weak. Then she smirked icily and said, “Xia Nuannuan, you’ve still lost to me! If you had obediently left the Shen family right from the start, things wouldn’t have come to this.”
Xia Nuannuan listened to this with clenched fists.
She lifted her chin and looked at Mei Feng asking, “You must have been the one who released the news to these reporters.”
Mei Feng smiled but said nothing.
Xia Nuannuan continued, “So now has it all come to an end?”
Had it come to an end?
Not even close!
Mei Feng narrowed her eyes viciously as she thought of Shen Zihao, who was at home and depressed as though he was gravely ill.
Thinking about the close bond they shared only made her increasingly angry.
Her lips curled upwards.
At this point, Mom Xia walked into the apartment, looking in panic. “What’s happening? There are many reporters gathered outside. They’re blocking the entrance! Who gave them our address?!”
At these words, Xia Nuannuan’s pupils shrank and she looked at Mei Feng. “It was you?”
Smiling coldly, the woman replied, “That’s right, it was me.”
“Xia Nuannuan, No matter where you go, I will find you. And I will make sure that you and your family are treated like rats on the streets, despised and hated by everyone!”
She glared at Xia Nuannuan and continued, “Only then will I be appeased.”
Xia Nuannuan froze when she heard this, immediately thinking of how her parents would have to live a life like criminals, never able to see daylight again.
“What do I have to do so that you leave us alone?”
Xia Nuannuan hated this woman.
But what could she do?
She was a nobody with no power or money, there was nothing she could do.
And then there were her parents.
For the sake of her parents, she couldn’t get into a conflict.
Her parents had brought her up, but she had never had the chance to repay them before they had had to sell their home to afford her dowry. Yet now, they couldn’t even live with their heads held high.
She had to admit defeat.
Mei Feng laughed icily when she heard the question and replied, “Marry Liu Haiyang!”
She wanted Xia Nuannuan to marry the man she hated, so that the girl would be tormented for the rest of her life.
She continued, “After all, you had something with him and got pregnant with his child. And now that child is gone. Marrying him is your best option, isn’t it?”
