Chapter 793 - He Followed Closely Like a Shadow (17) (1/2)
The moment he said this, Xia Yehua’s eyes lit up and she said, “Go ahead, tell me how I can help. It’s no trouble at all. Is it your wedding you need help with? It’s not a problem! We can help with anything!”
Shen Zihao’s face tensed up at these words. He cleared his throat and said, “It’s nothing about the wedding, Aunty Mei made the preparations. But…”
He hesitated for a bit as he gave Xia Yehua a glance.
Qiao Lian was immediately cautious when she saw his expression. Anything that would cause Shen Zihao to hesitate like this could not be a good thing.
Indeed, the next moment, he said, “Can you drop the charges against Dad? Dad was… too angry, he didn’t do it on purpose.”
The request startled Xia Yehua and she widened her eyes.
Qiao Lian frowned tightly.
Shen Zihao was going to say something else when Xia Nuannuan stood up suddenly and interrupted, “Zihao…”
Shen Zihao paused and turned to look at her.
Xia Nuannuan smiled and continued, “There are more than ten days left until our wedding.”
In other words, even if the court gave a verdict, it wouldn’t interfere with their wedding.
Shen Zihao frowned and said, “But no matter what, it wouldn’t be auspicious. If we went to court and all the other families know about it, it would embarrass Dad.”
His father’s unhappy expression at breakfast this morning came to mind.
It had caused Aunty Mei to sigh continuously too. It was the New Year season, but the atmosphere was unhappy.
Aunty Mei had told him that his father would be embarrassed at the wedding, hence, he didn’t want to be present at the event.
But how could that be possible?
It would be difficult to explain to Xia Nuannuan’s parents if the father-in-law didn’t show up at the wedding.
Hence, he thought of asking Xia Yehua’s help, even though he knew that his request might be a little much.
But Aunty Mei was right about one thing.
On one end, it was his mother; on the other end, it was his father. He had been placed in a difficult position.
