The mont he said this, Xia Yehua’s eyes lit up and she said, “Go ahead, tell how I can help. It’s no trouble at all. Is it your wedding you need help with? It’s not a problem! We can help with anything!”
Shen Zihao’s face tensed up at these words. He cleared his throat and said, “It’s nothing about the wedding, Aunty i made the preparations. But...”
He hesitated for a bit as he gave Xia Yehua a glance.
Qiao Lian was imdiately cautious when she saw his expression. Anything that would cause Shen Zihao to hesitate like this could not be a good thing.
Indeed, the next mont, he said, “Can you drop the charges against Dad? Dad was... too angry, he didn’t do it on purpose.”
The request startled Xia Yehua and she widened her eyes.
Qiao Lian frowned tightly.
Shen Zihao was going to say sothing else when Xia Nuannuan stood up suddenly and interrupted, “Zihao...”
Shen Zihao paused and turned to look at her.
Xia Nuannuan smiled and continued, “There are more than ten days left until our wedding.”
In other words, even if the court gave a verdict, it wouldn’t interfere with their wedding.
Shen Zihao frowned and said, “But no matter what, it wouldn’t be auspicious. If we went to court and all the other families know about it, it would embarrass Dad.”
His father’s unhappy expression at breakfast this morning ca to mind.
It had caused Aunty i to sigh continuously too. It was the New Year season, but the atmosphere was unhappy.
Aunty i had told him that his father would be embarrassed at the wedding, hence, he didn’t want to be present at the event.
But how could that be possible?
It would be difficult to explain to Xia Nuannuan’s parents if the father-in-law didn’t show up at the wedding.
Hence, he thought of asking Xia Yehua’s help, even though he knew that his request might be a little much.
But Aunty i was right about one thing.
On one end, it was his mother; on the other end, it was his father. He had been placed in a difficult position.
But if Xia Yehua had his interest at heart, she would understand his difficulties.
At this thought, Shen Zihao looked up again and said, “After all, it’s really not a big deal. Whatever he broke, I can pay for it, what do you think?”
These words imdiately made Xia Yehua’s blood boil.
He would pay for whatever was broken.
Were they lacking anything in this Shen family?
Were they suing Shen Xiu just because of the things he had smashed?
This ti they finally had sothing solid against him, so they wanted to give him a lesson. However, it was also true that she had neglected the fact that there was Shen Zihao.
Xia Yehua frowned.
Standing by the side, Auntie Li had already picked up the phone to call Shen Liangchuan.
Qiao Lian looked at Shen Zihao and lowered her gaze.
The sad fact was that Shen Zihao had been brought up by Shen Xiu and i Feng, so his values and perspectives on life and the world were thwarted.
But if they were to try and tell him that he was being too naive, would he feel like they ant to create trouble?
Besides, things had ended unhappily at the New Year’s Eve family dinner. Right up until now, it seed like Shen Zihao was still oblivious to i Feng’s true colors and was suspicious of Xia Yehua.
If they were to turn him down outrightly, it would only serve to hurt their relationship with Shen Zihao.
But if they were to agree, it would boost Shen Xiu’s ego and his behavior could worsen in the future.
Asking Shen Zihao to co to them and ask this favor was simply a very clever move on i Feng’s part. Either way, they would gain sothing.
Qiao Lian cald herself down before she spoke again, “Let’s not talk about this. It’s a rare chance to have the both of you here to make a New Year visit. Why don’t you just stay for dinner?”
Imdiately, Xia Nuannuan agreed, “Sure.”
Where this matter was concerned, they would have to wait for Shen Liangchuan to co ho for a decision.
