Chapter 739  : That Matter Eight Years Ago (8)

Everyone in the room turned silent instantaneously when they saw Song Yuanxi.

Xia Yehua was the first to stand up. “Yuanxi, why did you come here?”

When Song Yuanxi heard these words, her gaze fell on the dinner table. After a moment, she then replied, “Why can’t I be here?”

Dad Xia and Mom Xia both stared at her, puzzled.

Shen Liangchuan spoke, “I will get someone to take you back.”

Song Yuanxi lowered her head.

She did not look good.

Xia Yehua was afraid that, since Song Yuanxi was present, she would speak of things that were not appropriate for the occasion. Hence, she hurriedly apologized to Dad Xia and Mom Xia. “She is now at the rehab home because she has some mental problems. I shall now find someone to take her back.”

At the opposite side of the table, Mei Feng stood up suddenly. “This is… Ms. Song? The child that you adopted eight years ago? This child looks like she is perfectly normal and it’s going to be the new year soon. Why let a child be outside alone? Since she is here and since everyone here is family, it’s not embarrassing to have her here. Hurry up, bring another chair here for Ms. Song!”

The waiter hurriedly brought over a chair to place it beside Mei Feng.

Song Yuanxi did not wait for anyone to invite her to sit on the chair, she just walked to the chair straight away and took a seat. She then raised her head and looked at the people in front of her.

She stared at everyone, making the mood rather nerve-racking.

Qiao Lian was especially flustered. She stared at Song Yuanxi wondering what her motive was to come here suddenly.

What else could she do besides creating more trouble for Shen Liangchuan and her?

As she was pondering about it, she heard Mei Feng enquire, “This child, Yuanxi, looks very obedient. What made you all adopt her at the time?”

As she said these words, Mei Feng gaze was fixated on Qiao Lian and Shen Liangchuan. The gaze was ill-intended.

Shen Liangchuan’s pupils shrank.

Qiao Lian, on the other hand, narrowed her eyes.

She clenched her fists tightly.

Perhaps today Song Yuanxi would obediently follow Mei Feng’s wishes to create a scene here. But, at the same time, she would also be able to find out what had exactly happened eight years ago.

As she was pondering about this, her eyes stared straight at Song Yuanxi, hoping that she could unravel the truth right from Song Yuanxi.

Song Yuanxi’s gaze was, however, fixated on the dish in front of her. She did not have any intentions to speak.

Xia Yehua, conversely, frowned deeply. “These are our own personal affairs. It is none of your business.”

Mei Feng smiled. “I’m not saying anything bad, but… years ago, when you both left the Shen Family, you were very poor and couldn’t even afford to take Zihao with you. So why did you adopt a girl suddenly? I hope it is not because this girl has a special identity.”

Shen Zihao’s pupils shrank upon hearing this.

His cruel gaze fell upon Xia Yehua.

He suddenly smiled and asked, “Speaking of it, I’ve always known that Ms. Song is your adopted daughter, but who is she exactly? Where is she from? I am now curious to know.”

His words caused Xia Yehua to panic. “Zihao, I—”

Before she could finish speaking, all of a sudden, Shen Liangchuan slammed the wine glass in his hand onto the table.

With his strong aura and that reaction, th entire private room fell silent instantaneously.

Soon after, he looked up and gave a deadpan look at the rest of the people in the room. “Aren’t we supposed to discuss Zihao’s wedding tonight?

On this note, the whole room became quiet.

However, Song Yuanxi stood up suddenly. “I have something to say before you all discuss about the wedding.”
