Shen Liangchuan was agile, however, and took another step backwards. Extending his leg, he aimed a kick at the other man’s stomach.
It was a merciless kick.
How much he wished for Shen Zihao to wake up with that one hard kick!
At this point, a shout suddenly came from the entrance, “Stop!”
Shen Liangchuan froze at the sound of this voice.
However, Shen Zihao took the opportunity of his hesitation and with a quick and furious extension of his arm, landed a square blow on his brother’s eye.
Shen Liangchuan’s eye was immediately bruised.
“Shen Zihao!”
It was sharp and commanding tone. And at once, Xia Yehua appeared. In her high heels, she quickly walked to them.
She had found out about the business function through a good friend who had called her to inform her.
Out of kindness, her friend had told her, “I read in the news that your son needs some investment funds. Why don’t you go to this business function to try your luck? Some of these old friends won’t let you go unaided, I’m sure.”
Xia Yehua had rarely kept in touch with this particular friend since she had left the Shen family.
Yet now, she had called and said such a thing out of the blue.
It had left Xia Yehua quite puzzled.
She then sent a good friend to ask around and found out that, indeed, there was an evening function. Hence, she had prepared her evening dress and decided to attend the event to try her luck.
It had actually been to see if she would get lucky.
After all, by the time she left the Shen Family, she had seen enough of what the human heart was made of.
But how was it that the moment she entered the venue, the sight that greeted her was a fighting between her sons?
At the very least, Shen Liangchuan had been obedient and had stopped the moment she gave that order.
Shen Zihao, on the other hand, had continued with that last punch, which made her boil with anger.
She marched up and shoved Shen Zihao aside, saying, “Stop it right now!”
Turning to Shen Liangchuan, she asked, “Are you okay?”
Initially, Shen Zihao had kept silent.
However, Mei Feng suddenly came up to them and positioned herself in front of the young man, saying, “Why do you take Shen Liangchuan’s side when they both got into a fight? Isn’t our Zihao your son too?”
These words stung Shen Zihao.
It made him realize that, indeed, the moment Xia Yehua had come in, she had tried to stop him.
And this thought now provoked his anger.
Suddenly, he turned cold.
Xia Yehua was stunned by Mei Feng’s words.
As she entered, she had witnessed Shen Zihao getting ready to hit Shen Liangchuan, whose back was to her. And the next moment, the punch had landed on her elder son.
With her own eyes, she had seen Shen Zihao hitting Shen Liangchuan.
Hence, in her anxiousness she had dashed over to check on Shen Liangchuan.
But now, after what Mei Feng had said, she realized that the corner of Shen Zihao’s mouth was injured too.
Her pupils shrank immediately as she took a step towards her other son. “Zihao, are you okay?”
Her concern was, however, spurned by Shen Zihao, “Stay away from me! I have nothing to do with you!”
His words were like a sharp blade that sliced right through her.
She felt as though someone had gorged out a piece of her heart.
She clutched her chest with her hand.
On the other hand, Mei Feng started speaking, “Zihao, how can you talk to your mother like this?”
“Mother?” In his anger and pain, he lashed out, “I don’t have such a mother!”
As these words came out, Xia Yehua’s expression immediately turned pale.
She staggered backwards.
Qiao Lian was alarmed by her reaction.
Immediately, she moved forward to support Xia Yehua.
