Chapter 742  : Xiao Qiao, We Will Be Fine (1)

In that moment, everyone in the room turned to stare at Mei Feng.

Shen Zihao stared at her with a look of disbelief, his startled eyes widened as if he didn’t know the woman before him.

Mei Feng turned as pale as a sheet.

She looked shocked, as though she could not believe what was happening.

After a moment, she snapped out of her dazed state and suddenly jumped up from her seat, exclaiming, “She was speaking nonsense! I don’t even know that girl!”

She looked at Shen Zihao and said, “Zihao, believe me! In the last six months, how has Aunty Mei treated you? You know it in your own heart.”

As she spoke, her eyes turned red.

She couldn’t help turning to look at Xia Yehua and, biting her lip, she added, “Today was the day that both our families were to come together to discuss the wedding. Sister Xia, why have you chosen this very day to make things difficult for me?

Those words made it seem as if Xia Yehua was behind all of this.

Upon hearing this, Shen Zihao looked at Xia Yehua again.

In that moment, he could no longer tell what was real and what was not.

Xia Yehua looked at Shen Zihao. Her heart ached when she saw his expression of doubt and uncertainty.

Clenching her fists, she said, “I like Nuannuan so much, why would I stir trouble today?”

Mei Feng hung her head and said, “That’s right. I want to know too. This is Zihao’s once-in-a-lifetime event, why did you have to pick today?”

Seeing that Mei Feng was trying to shift the blame even at this point, she raised her arm in anger and pointed at her. “You—”

Witnessing how things were developing, Qiao Lian stood up unexpectedly. She fixed her eyes steadily on Mei Feng and said, “Did you just say you don’t know Song Yuanxi?”

Mei Feng frowned and replied, “I’ve heard of her, but I’ve never really met her.”

Qiao Lian smiled icily and continued, “So for what reason did you go to the rehab home to visit her?”

Mei Feng’s pupils shrank at once as she immediately denied it, “What are you talking about? I don’t understand.”

Qiao Lian started, “Yesterday, you were at the rehab home to see Song Yuanxi and went to her room to have a chat with her. I wasn’t the only witness, Nuannuan saw you too.”

At this point, Xia Nuannuan stood up and nodded in agreement, “That’s right, Lian Lian and I both saw it.”

Perhaps Shen Zihao would doubt anyone else’s words, but now even Xia Nuannuan was speaking up, he immediately looked at Mei Feng with suspicion.

Furrowing his brow, he said, “Aunty Mei, why were you at the rehab home to see Song Yuanxi?”

If there wasn’t a collusion to begin with, how could she know that Song Yuanxi was in the rehab home?

Now all eyes were on Mei Feng.

The woman looked at Shen Zihao and her eyes suddenly reddened. “Zihao, you’re suspecting me? You don’t trust me!”

Shen Zihao frowned and said, “Aunty Mei, you—”

Mei Feng suddenly raised her arms and covered her own eyes, but the tears continued flowing. “Zihao, Aunty Mei has never done anything against my own conscience. How I’ve treated you all these years, I believe you know it in your own heart. Why would I do that? What would I have gained for myself?!”

As she said this, she couldn’t contain her tears and started crying. “I’ve been with your father for so many years, and I don’t have a child of my own. I treat you like my own son! How could you suspect me?”

Her crying sounded pitiful, making Shen Zihao frown deeply.

Qiao Lian, on the other hand, lost her patience. This woman was simply too pretentious.

Even at this point she wouldn’t admit it.

Speaking up finally, she said, “Madam Mei Feng, crying won’t solve the problem. If you can’t give a reasonable explanation, you won’t be forgiven.”
