Chapter 690: 690
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Xia Nuannuan had a fright when she heard what her father said . “Dad, our family doesn’t have that kind of money . ”
She knew very well how much money the family had .
They had spent most of their savings when her father had fallen ill the year before .
That was why she had desperately worked to make money and had ended up working in Glitter as a waitress .
Even if they sold their family home, they would not be able to gather 1 . 11 million .
She didn’t want her parents to lead a poverty-stricken life just so that she didn’t look bad . If that were the case, then what was the use of having a daughter?
But the moment she said that, Dad Xia frowned and said, “Why are you interrupting when we adults are talking? Your Mom and I know how to deal with our family’s money! Although we’re poor, we have our pride . Let me tell you, you won’t stop working after you get married . Our daughter is not the sort of wife who only knows how to stay at home and be a parasite! You’re to work and have your own income . Do you hear that?”
This was really meant for Shen Xiu to hear .
Dad Xia felt that if his daughter were to stay home, she would not be able to secure her own standing .
A woman would only be mentally independent if she could be financially independent .
Shen Xiu’s expression turned gloomy . “This—”
Dad Xia looked at Shen Xiu and continued, “I know, marrying into your family, she doesn’t have to work to put food on the table . But a person’s got to have ambition and ideals, don’t you think so?”
Shen Xiu: …
Dad Xia stood up and said, “It’s dark and we shouldn’t keep you up too long . When there’s a chance, come over to our place . We’ll host a dinner for you . ”
Then he turned to Mom Xia and said, “Let’s go . ”
Following this, he led Mom Xia and Xia Nuannuan towards the door .
Shen Xiu did not try to make them stay either .
However, it was Mei Feng who came running out of the kitchen when she noticed they were leaving . “What’s the matter? The food is almost ready . Aren’t you staying for dinner? Zihao just called and said he’s almost here . ”
Dad Xia looked at her and said, “No, we won’t stay . ”
The three of them continued walking towards the door .
Just when they got to the doorway, they heard the sound of a car outside .
Almost at once, Shen Zihao came flying in like a madman .
Seeing the look on their faces, he paused for a moment and asked, “What’s the matter?”
Dad Xia had a bone-chilling smile on his face as he said, “No big deal, we are just tired from walking around all day . We won’t eat . We’ll go back and rest . ”
Shen Zihao had no idea what had had happened, but he looked at Shen Xiu and Mei Feng for a moment . Then he turned around immediately and said, “Sure, let me take you back then . ”
Upon hearing this, Shen Xiu frowned and said, “You’re out and about all day without doing any serious work . And you didn’t even come home last night! This is ridiculous! Driving the in-laws home is a job that our family chauffeur can handle . ”
He then turned to the butler and instructed, “Go get someone to take our in-laws home in our family Bentley nanny van . ”
The butler immediately nodded and said, “Yes, Sir . ”
Shen Zihao was reprimanded for seemingly no reason, but he persisted, “I’ll accompany them out then . ”
He followed Dad Xia and Mom Xia as they walked out of the house .
Once outside, Shen Zihao apologized, “Dad, Mom, my father can be merciless with his words, please don’t take it to heart . It’s Nuannuan’s and my future, it has nothing to do with him! It must have been tough on all of you today?”
Xia Nuannuan bit her lip when she heard this .
Dad Xia, however, shot him a glance . Pretending to look puzzled, he asked after a pause, “Zihao, I do have a question that I wish to clarify . ”
“Please ask . ”
“At home, how do you address your stepmother? Is it Mom, or Aunty Mei? Your father insisted earlier that Nuannuan should address her as Mom . This needs to be made clear . ”
