Chapter 796: He Followed Closely Like a Shadow (20)

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

Xia Yehua was wearing a two-piece set of silk pajamas.

In that instant, her top was only slightly lifted to expose her lower back.

She had fair skin and, even though she was elderly now and her skin had lost its firmness, one could still tell that she had been exquisite in her youth.

And now, on that fair skin, there was a huge bruise.

Shen Liangchuan gave Shen Zihao a mocking look and said, “He only told you that he injured his back. Did he tell you that it was because he hit Mom that I shoved him?”

“Have you seen the injury on his back? Is it as bad as Mom’s?”

“He berates me for being disobedient. Does he mean I should watch him hit Mom and not do anything?”

Shen Zihao could only hang his head, as Shen Liangchuan fired away these questions.

Although he hated Xia Yehua for abandoning him, he had been keeping an eye on how she and Shen Liangchuan had been doing all these years.

He knew that it had been a long and hard journey for them to get where they were today.

Even though they were now living in villa and had three or four housekeepers, compared to what the Shen family had, this villa was the equivalent of a tiny corner.

Hence from his perspective, Mom and Shen Liangchuan were almost living in poverty, but this was the price they had to pay for abandoning him.

And because of this, he also felt that it had been awfully wrong of Shen Xiu to bring a bunch of men to harass them.

Besides, Xia Yehua’s back...

Shen Zihao did not speak another word, but took Xia Nuannuan’s hand, saying, “I understand. We’ll go home now then.”

He did not bring up another unreasonable request.

He could not say more, because he found himself not being able to face Xia Yehua.

“Zihao, why don’t you have dinner before you leave?”

Xia Yehua took two steps towards them, hoping to keep them for a little longer.

Shen Zihao halted, yet he said, “There’s no need for that.”

He led Xia Nuannuan out of the door, into the car, and then drove away from the villa.

Xia Yehua sighed when she heard the car starting up.

She turned and looked at Shen Liangchuan. After a moment of hesitation, she suggested, “Shen Liangchuan, why not—”

“No way.” Shen Liangchuan was adamant. “If we give in this time, there will be a next time.”

Xia Yehua choked, unable to speak.

Seeing this, Qiao Lian quickly said, “Mom, Shen Liangchuan, let’s talk after we’ve eaten.”

Xia Yehua looked like she was going to say something, but eventually kept quiet.

The three of them sat at the dining table and ate in silence.

Shen Liangchuan had not slept much for the past three days, he was exhausted. He had kept going only through his strong will.

Because he hadn’t had enough rest, he had poor appetite and could not eat more after taking two bites.

When Xia Yehua realized this, she immediately asked, “What’s wrong? You’ve been too busy and you’re feeling unwell?”

He lifted his head and said indifferently, “It’s nothing.”

Qiao Lian gave him a worried look upon hearing this.

But she said nothing, lowered her head and continued eating.

If he had no wish to talk about it, then let it be.

She already knew who the man in the picture on the tombstone was, so it was only a matter of time until the whole truth was out.

As she was thinking this, someone rang the doorbell.

Auntie Li walked over to open the door. Shortly, she returned and said, “It’s an express delivery for us, Senior Madam. Did you buy something on the internet?”

Xia Yehua was surprised and replied, “No. Was it Xiao Qiao?”

Qiao Lian was surprised too and answered, “No.”

Following this, all three of them looked at Shen Liangchuan simultaneously.

Qiao Lian noticed that Shen Liangchuan was initially surprised and almost reflexively answered, “I didn’t...”
