Chapter 684: 684
Qiao Lian couldn’t help but shake her head and laugh .
Shen Zihao dashed out of the house and drove away in a hurry .
–
Xia Nuannuan, together with her dad and mom, was window shopping around Beijing when her cell phone rang . She glanced at the screen and saw it was an unfamiliar number .
Xia Nuannuan paused . Puzzled, she picked up the call and realized afterwards that it was Shen Zihao’s stepmother, Mei Feng .
For unknown reasons, she suddenly got nervous and said immediately, “Aunty Mei, how can I help you?”
There was a short pause and then the woman laughed . She went on to say, “It’s like this . Zihao’s father knows that the in-laws are in Beijing and has specially asked me to call you and arrange dinner together . Do you have time tonight?”
Shen Zihao’s father…
Xia Nuannuan looked at her parents immediately .
Dad Xia could hear the conversation on the phone, so he hurriedly nodded .
Xia Nuannuan bit her lip and hesitated . “But—”
Dad Xia took over the phone in a flash and said, “Sure, In-law, we’ll see you tonight!”
Nodding and smiling, Mei Feng replied, “Sure, come to our place for a visit . ”
After hanging up, Dad Xia advised his daughter, “One look at Shen Zihao and you can see has a good background . Such a decent family… We ought to visit them . I’d like to meet his father too . ”
It was too late for Xia Nuannuan to say anything .
Her father had agreed, so she couldn’t possibly back out now .
Hence, they hailed a cab and headed for the Shen family home .
On the way, Xia Nuannuan was going to call Shen Zihao to inform him but she received his call at that moment . She updated him of the situation .
She wasn’t quite sure if it was because Shen Zihao had immediately offered to come over, or if there were other reasons, but she felt a little unsettled, as though something bad was going to happen .
Taking in a deep breath, she tried to suppress the discomfort she was feeling .
Because Shen Liangchuan had not wanted to have anything more to do with the Shen family, after they left, he had bought a villa that was a great distance away .
Hence, because Xia Nuannuan had been at the city, she was very much closer to the Shen family home than Shen Zihao .
By the time the cab arrived at the Shen family home, Shen Zihao was only then leaving and the drive would take an hour .
Standing at the main entrance, Xia Nuannuan looked at the metal gate, which was like the doorway to the palatial villa, and felt lost .
The last time she had come with Shen Zihao, he had been driving and the gate had opened automatically when it recognized his car .
However, this time…
Dad Xia and Mom Xia stared at the grand entrance, now feeling an immeasurable pressure on themselves .
Mom Xia even stammered, “Nuannuan, Zihao- Zihao lives in this place? How many people live here?”
All they could see was the outer courtyard, and it was like a park .
Mom Xia even thought that this was a whole villa neighbourhood, in a similar style to Shen Liangchuan’s home .
Xia Nuannuan glanced at her mother and hung her head . She said softly, “This is his home,”
Dad Xia was stumped .
As was Mom Xia . She ventured, “This- this is a tad big, isn’t it?! Zihao’s family is this wealthy?”
Xia Nuannuan nodded .
Dad Xia glanced at her and cleared his throat . Then he said, “Okay, let’s not fuss over this . Otherwise, we’ll embarrass our daughter . ”
Mom Xia immediately nodded and agreed, “Yes, yes . ”
Dad Xia then looked at Xia Nuannuan and told her, “Go knock on the door then . ”
She stepped forward and knocked on the door .
After a while, they finally heard an impatient voice coming from within, “Who’s that?”
