Chapter 673 - Public Display of Love: Forget Chuan is Mrs. Shen (18)

Mei Feng gritted her teeth with fury.

This Shen Zihao… who did he think he was?

He didn’t want to have dinner with her, but instead he asked her to help him with the chores.

But it was not as though she could say anything!

Eventually, she could only say, “Since you’ve registered your marriage, then bring Nuannuan home with you tonight. We will prepare the room for you.”

“Well… Dad doesn’t like Nuannuan, I don’t wish to stir any trouble. Mom has just said that there’s room in the Shen family villa. Nuannuan will stay here for now.”

Stumped, Mei Feng didn’t know what else she could say.

If the daughter-in-law was staying at Xia Yehua’s home, how would Shen Zihao want to come back home and stay there?!

This Xia Yehua, she had planned her moves!

She had snared Shen Zihao for herself through the daughter-in-law.

Her eyes flashed.

Indeed, Shen Zihao did not return home that night.

The next morning, he called to say that he had had too much to drink with his father-in-law and ended up staying the night.

Livid, Mei Feng thought of ways and means to get Shen Zihao to come home, but Shen Xiu wouldn’t budge an inch. She panicked.

–

No one was happier than Xia Yehua, of course, with the fact that Shen Zihao had stayed over at the Shen Villa.

She grinned from ear to ear all day long and did not stop smiling for a moment.

But because she had not fully recovered, she sent Auntie Li along with Xia Nuannuan to accompany her parents sightseeing around Beijing.

When she woke up in the morning, Qiao Lian remembered that this was the day that Song Cheng had called for the press conference.

Shen Liangchuan had left early in the morning to attend a meeting. They had arranged to meet directly at the press conference venue instead.

She got out of bed, washed up and put on her makeup. Just as she was leaving, she heard Shen Zihao making a call to Mei Feng. He was on the balcony with his back facing the room.

He sounded like he was a spoilt child throwing a tantrum, “I know, I know. Don’t worry, Aunty Mei, you’re too naggy. I’ll go home for sure tonight…”

At first, Qiao Lian did not take that to heart, however when she turned around, she saw Xia Yehua standing close by. She had to have heard Shen Zihao’s conversation too. Looking very disappointed, she turned to walk away, leaning her weight on the walking aid. She made her way up the stairs with much effort and returned to her bedroom.

Qiao Lian felt her own heart shrivel in pain at once.

She frowned. Just at this point, she saw that Shen Zihao had hung up and was walking in from the balcony. He had had too much to drink the night before and he was frowning, in pain.

There was a bowl of soup on the coffee table for dissipating the effects of the alcohol. Xia Yehua had left it there for Shen Zihao.

Pointing at the bowl, Qiao Lian was compelled to inform the man, “Mom made this for you early in the morning. Drink it up quickly.”

Shen Zihao paused.

Qiao Lian continued, “Some people show their concern through actions. others do it through words. Shen Zihao, you’re an adult, you should know well enough as to who is good and otherwise. Why do you think Nuannuan was reluctant to let you go back to the Shen family home?”

Shen Zihao paused and his expression immediately turned cold. “What do you mean?”

Qiao Lian laughed icily. “Exactly what I said. Nuannuan had never been to your house before this. But after she did so, do you know how she’d been feeling? I saw how worried and nervous she was. What was in your house that made her so afraid?”

Shen Zihao snorted coldly and said, “Don’t try to sow seeds of discord! Besides, let me tell you, since you have time to be minding my business, why don’t you worry about yourself too?”

Puzzled at his remark, she shot back, “What about me?”

“What about you? The news that Forget Chuan is my brother’s mistress is a trending topic on Weibo now! Don’t tell me you know nothing about it.”
