Chapter 672  : Public Display of Love: Forget Chuan is Mrs. Shen (17)

The moment she picked up, he went off in an angry tone, “All these troublemakers! Since when has he a friend in the police station? How did things turn out like this?!”

Mei Feng was quiet for a moment and then she spoke, “I recall that Li Chenyu works at the police station?”

The moment she said that, Shen Xiu’s blood boiled. “Him again! That dishonorable son Shen Liangchuan!”

This time he said nothing about Xia Yehua. After all, she had almost died from his last provocation and he still felt guilty about it.

Mei Feng sighed and tried to comfort him, “Don’t get too worked up. The children are grown up, so it’s the time that they do things like that. Since they’ve registered their marriage and her parents are here, we should host them. Otherwise, it would look bad if it gets out.”

Shen Xiu snorted and spat. “I’m not going! I’m not going to give them any face! I tell you what. If Zihao comes looking for you later, arrange a meal at a good restaurant with the girl’s parents. Let’s embarrass them and let them realize how stupid is they could even consider marrying their daughter to our Zihao.”

Mei Feng nodded. “Since they are married, let’s not make things difficult. I’ll make reservations at a hotel restaurant and we’ll host them tonight.”

Infuriated, Shen Xiu raised his voice again, “You can go by yourself! I said I’m not going!”

After saying those words, he hung up the phone.

Mei Feng furrowed her brow and contemplated it for a moment. And then she sniggered to herself.

In fact, she had no objections to the children’s marriage. On the contrary, she welcomed it with open arms.

Why so?

Because she had never had any children of her own after she married Shen Xiu.

Given that Shen Xiu was well over ten years older than her, if he died before her, she would only have Shen Zihao to depend on.

For all these years, she had doted on the boy because she knew she had to bank on him to provide when she got old.

If Shen Zihao married a girl from a wealthy family, however, in comparison to her, she may not be able to secure such a good standing and her authority in the Shen Family would be weakened for sure.

Having Zihao marry Xia Nuannuan was different.

Xia Nuannuan…

She lowered her gaze as she thought of how weak this girl was. She would be an easy person to control!

At this thought, she quickly picked up the phone to make reservations at a classy restaurant.

Following this, she waited for Shen Zihao’s call, which unexpectedly never came.

Puzzled, Mei Feng raised an eyebrow.

She waited and another two hours passed. It was already past three in the afternoon. Would they still be in time if he didn’t call soon?

Hurriedly, she picked up her cell phone and dialed Shen Zihao’s number.

The line was connected and she heard his voice, “Aunty Mei, what’s up?”

A little surprised, Mei Feng paused before saying, “I heard that Nuannuan’s parents are in town. Shall we have dinner tonight?”

There was a brief silence before Shen Zihao replied, “Aunty Mei, since you hadn’t made any preparations, we’re having dinner at my mom’s. They have already prepared dinner.”

Mei Feng was completely unprepared for such a turn of events.

She clenched her fist, taking no notice of her long fingernails that were digging into the flesh of her palm.

My mom.

Since when had Shen Zihao started calling that woman “mom”?

She gritted her teeth but tried to sound as gentle as possible, “Since that’s the case, alright then. We’ll host the in-laws tomorrow instead.”

“It’s okay, Aunty Mei, there’s no need for that.”

Stunned, Mei Feng heard Shen Zihao continue, “It’s meaningless if you came without Dad, Xia Nuannuan’s parents would suspect something’s wrong. Our two families will come together when my Dad finally comes around. In any case, Dad Xia and Mom Xia will be in Beijing for a while. And also, Aunty Mei, please help me prepare for my wedding. We want to have the ceremony before Nuannuan’s three months pregnant, otherwise, it will become obvious.”
