Xia Nuannuan said in a low voice, “Aunt Xia has a weak heart. We haven’t made a thorough investigation on this matter, Zihao, don’t upset Aunt Xia.”

Shen Zihao gave an icy humph and said, “Haven’t made a thorough investigation? Isn’t it clear enough? What is there to investigate?”

He had said these words as a conclusion, but he ultimately did not lose his temper at Xia Yehua. Instead, he turned to Dad Xia and Mom Xia and said, “Dad, Mom, let me take you back.”

Since this situation had happened, no one was in the mood to eat.

Dad Xia and Mom Xia knew neither Mei Feng nor Xia Yehua well. Hence, even though they liked Xia Yehua more, they couldn’t say much.

Dad Xia could only look at Xia Yehua and say, “Well, in that case we’ll come and see you another day.”

Xia Yehua nodded.

Shen Zihao led the group of people out.

Before leaving, Xia Nuannuan turned around and glanced at Qiao Lian.

Qiao Lian nodded and gestured to her not to worry.

After the people had left, there was only Qiao Lian and Xia Yehua in hte private room.

Qiao Lian approached Xia Yehua to support her and found that her body was slightly trembling.

Seeing her mother-in-law in this state made her so furious she wished she could claw Mei Feng’s face.

Obviously, she knew that Mom had a weak heart, but she would provoke her over and over again.

And Shen Zihao, that fool!

It was such a simple situation and he wasn’t discerning the truth.

As she was cursing Shen Zihao in her mind, Xia Yehua spoke up, “I don’t blame him. I can only blame myself for being so naive to think that leaving him with the Shen family was the better thing to do for him.”

At these words, her eyes reddened and she gave a bitter smile.

Worried that Xia Yehua was feeling ill, Qiao Lian quickly took out her rescue pills from her handbag and gave one to her. They sat in the private room for a little while until the woman felt better.

When Qiao Lian and Xia Yehua got back to the villa, Shen Liangchuan was not home yet.

It was the New Year festive season, so most of the housekeepers had gone back to their own homes. Only Auntie Li remained in the villa.

When she saw them both, she immediately came up to them, looking very worried. “Senior Madam, why do you look so pale? What happened?”

Qiao Lian shook her head at the housekeeper, letting her know that they didn’t want to talk about it.

Then she helped Xia Yehua into the bedroom.

After the woman had fallen asleep and her condition seemed stabilized, Qiao Lian heaved a sigh of relief.

She did not return to her own room, but sat on the sofa in Xia Yehua’s bedroom. She was in a bit of a daze.

A lot of things had happened over dinner.

It made her confused.

She was furious at how Mei Feng had turned the tables on them. But right now the room was quiet and still apart, apart from the light breathing of the sleeping woman. All the thoughts resulting from the earlier episode came flooding into her mind.

What happened eight years ago was like an obsession.

The more Shen Liangchuan tried to hide it, the more she wanted to know the truth.

Up till now, only three people really knew what had happened.

Shen Liangchuan, Song Yuanxi and another one… was Mei Feng.

As she thought about all of this, she heard the sound of car engine coming from outside.

Immediately, she stood up and quietly left the room. She saw Shen Liangchuan enter the house, bringing with him a cold gust from the icy air outside.

Qiao Lian looked at his figure and asked, “Where’s Song Yuanxi?”

He cast his gaze down an said quietly, “She’s run away, I couldn’t find her.”
