Chapter 691: Discussing the Marriage (8)

Shen Zihao was stunned and rendered speechless.

His expression turned gloomy at once.

He cleared his throat and said, “My father doesn’t seem to understand what’s important and what’s not. Aunty Mei doesn’t even say anything about this, so why does he interfere? It’s not an issue, you can address her as Aunty Mei. Aunty Mei is young, it’s not right to call her Mom anyway.”

Dad Xia looked at him and said with a half-smile, “Aunty Mei was there when your father said this. She did appear as though she wishes you’d call her Mom. Zihao, you should go home and sort things out.”

Shen Zihao was silent for a moment and then nodded.

As Xia Nuannuan was about to get into the car after Dad Xia and Mom Xia, Shen Zihao suddenly said, “Nuannuan, why don’t you stay? We’re married and can live together.”

At this suggestion, Dad Xia’s head popped out of the window from inside the car. “Zihao, you’d better not. Your father already thinks that the both of you are immature. In our Chinese tradition, you can only live together after the wedding ceremony. I wouldn’t want your father thinking that Nuannuan doesn’t know her customs.”

Shen Zihao was not clueless. He realized from his words that his father had probably berated her. At once, his expression darkened.

After the Xia family left, Shen Zihao marched into the house in a huff.

He glared at Shen Xiu furiously. “Dad, this is too much! How could you do this?! This is your first meeting with them, you’re being so embarrassing!”

Shen Xiu snorted icily. “A family that could raise that vixen can’t be a very decent family. I’ve done a background check. This Xia Nuannuan was once a waitress at Glitter. How decent can she be? Once the child is born, I will have a DNA test done. I’m not going to bring up someone else’s child.”

Shen Zihao was stunned, speechless.

For the first time, he was seeing this acrimonious side of his father.

Shen Xiu had not been like this in the past.

This was also the first time he considered the possibility that, years ago when his mother left the Shen family home without a cent in her pocket and in such a hurry, she might have had her reasons.

For a moment, he looked distracted and lost in his thoughts.
