Chapter 1246: Mei Feng’s Ending (11)
As it were, Mei Feng only felt regretful. What had come over her at the time? To actually have fallen for such a man? Furthermore, to think that she had sacrificed so much of her lifetime for him.
–
In a part of the Shen villa, in the meantime.
Qiao Lian was almost three months pregnant. The people got together, chattering and giggling as they discussed Xia Yehua and Li Mao’s wedding.
Qiao Lian and Xia Nuannuan were looking at wedding dresses and gowns, when they saw Shen Liangchuan suddenly pick up his cell phone and glance at it. He walked off to the side to pick up the call.
She suddenly recalled Ms. Wang, so she stood up and walked over. As she approached Shen Liangchuan, she heard him say, “Keep yourself hidden and don’t come back to Beijing in the near future. Uh huh. Thanks for your help.”
After he had hung up, Qiao Lian walked up to him and asked, “What’s the matter?”
He turned to look at her and smiled immediately. “Sister Wang has settled the matter.”
Qiao Lian widened her eyes and asked, “Really? And now what’s happening between Shen Xiu and Mei Feng?”
“My guess is that they’re in a big fight. Today Shen Xiu called for the police to arrest Mei Feng. But there was no proof and they couldn’t take her away.”
“Hahaha, wouldn’t that just infuriate Mei Feng!”
He nodded and said, “Yes, probably.”
“And after that, what’s going to happen?”
He laughed and replied, “After that, nothing.”
Qiao Lian was puzzled.
He explained, “We have done what we needed to, which is to get them at odds with each other. Those two… one is too smart and the other too stupid. It’s just a matter of time until they part ways. Then we would have achieved our goal, no?”
Qiao Lian nodded.
As it were, all they wanted was to put them in bad terms with each other and let them fight amongst themselves.
But neither of them thought that the consequences would be so bitter.
After their chat, they turned around. They had intended to return to the living room and continue the discussion about the wedding. But unexpectedly, upon turning around, they realized that Shen Zihao was standing there right behind them. They had no idea how long he had been standing there.
He was staring at them, frowning tightly.
Qiao Lian glanced at Shen Liangchuan. Worried that Shen Zihao would misunderstand, she said immediately, “We did plan it so that Shen Xiu and Mei Feng would fight. But if Shen Xiu had just exercised some self-control, he wouldn’t have been seduced.”
Shen Zihao cast his gaze down and took a deep breath. He nodded after a moment and said, “Yes, I know.”
Then he turned and walked away.
Qiao Lian looked at his figure and then threw another glance at Shen Liangchuan.
The man explained with little expression on his face, “Shen Xiu always treated him well, because in his eyes, he had only one son. This son is his only successor.”
Hence, Shen Xiu had fulfilled his duty as a father to Shen Zihao.
Otherwise, Shen Zihao wouldn’t have thought the world of his father in the past and misunderstood Xia Yehua for so many years.
Evil people were capable of forming genuine relationships too.
Quietly, Shen Zihao walked out of the living room. He wandered into the garden at the back of the villa and strolled around on his own.
Although there were street lamps around, it was still quite dim.
As he strolled, he suddenly heard a gentle voice coming from behind him, “What’s the matter?”
He turned around and saw Xia Nuannuan.
Flashing a smile at her, he asked, “Why did you come out here?”
