Chapter 820: The Wedding (2)

The fact was that Xia Yehua had left him with a lot more than just unpleasant memories

At some point in his life, his mother had been his pride.

And even now, many women of his mother’s age did not look half as good as his mother when dressed up.

These thoughts about his mother softened his heart.

Observing his expression, Xia Nuannuan said, “I wonder if your mom will come.”

If she would?

How could she possibly not?

Shen Zihao paused again at this thought.

He wondered if Mom was angry after he had gone to her house a few days ago to create a scene.

As though she knew what he was thinking, Xia Nuannuan said out of the blue, “There’s no anger between mother and son that will last longer than a day.”

Upon saying this, she winked and added, “I wonder if she got the invitation. If not, we can bring it to her ourselves tonight.”

Shen Zihao looked at Mei Feng and said with disappointment, “The invitation should have been sent a few days ago.”

By now Mei Feng was gritting her teeth with hatred.

As the stepmother organizing this wedding, it was an important occasion for her to gather attention. But if Xia Yehua were to turn up, she would have no position in the family.

Her status at the wedding would be rather awkward and embarrassing.

Hence, she had purposefully left that side of the Shen family out. She had thought that if she didn’t mention it, no one would notice.

And if Xia Yehua didn’t turn up, Shen Zihao’s pride would also stop him from asking about it.

It would have been beneath Xia Yehua’s dignity as well to ask why she hadn’t received an invitation.

With both sides keeping silent about it, the tension between the mother and son pair would worsen and become irreparable.

But now…

She turned and glared at Xia Nuannuan.

Xia Nuannuan again!

Since they had spoken about the matter, there were no longer any excuses for her not to send an invitation.

Mei Feng was livid but had to say through gritted teeth, “Oh, look at me! I almost forgot! I had planned for you to take the invitation card to your mom, but I was so busy that it slipped my mind.”

Immediately, Xia Nuannuan said happily, “That’s great then, I’ll go with Zihao this evening to deliver it.”

Shen Zihao cleared his throat. While he obviously wanted to go, he feigned reluctance and said, “Well, if you insist, let’s go then.”

Xia Nuannuan couldn’t help but lower her head to hide her laughter when she saw his awkwardness.

Mr. Shen was actually quite adorable.

After she selected her look for the big day, Xia Nuannuan changed out of her wedding dress. They took Mom Xia back to the hotel and then headed for the Shen villa to deliver the wedding invitation.

Mei Feng stood in the hotel lobby looking at Xia Nuannuan’s figure. She turned suddenly to look at Mom Xia and walked towards her, smiling. With a sigh, she reached for Mom Xia’s hand and, with the other hand, reached into her pocket and took out a check. “Nuannuan’s mother, this is our family’s monetary gift, 8.88 million.”

Stunned, Mom Xia stared at the cheque.

8.88 million was not much for the Shen Family.

But giving this with check… Did it mean that the dowry tomorrow should be given in a check too?

Mom Xia nodded and then parted ways with Mei Feng. After this, she went upstairs to look for Dad Xia.

After Dad Xia saw the check, he frowned. He said after a short pause, “Perhaps, these are the ways of the wealthy. If they are giving us a check today, then it means that the dowry should be given in a check too. Since that’s the case, let’s use a cheque then.”

Mom Xia sighed and said, “I just feel that using a check for these things doesn’t seem right.”

These people had no idea that this was Mei Fung’s dirty scheme to trap Xia Nuannuan.
