Chapter 796 - He Followed Closely Like a Shadow (20) (1/2)

Xia Yehua was wearing a two-piece set of silk pajamas.

In that instant, her top was only slightly lifted to expose her lower back.

She had fair skin and, even though she was elderly now and her skin had lost its firmness, one could still tell that she had been exquisite in her youth.

And now, on that fair skin, there was a huge bruise.

Shen Liangchuan gave Shen Zihao a mocking look and said, “He only told you that he injured his back. Did he tell you that it was because he hit Mom that I shoved him?”

“Have you seen the injury on his back? Is it as bad as Mom’s?”

“He berates me for being disobedient. Does he mean I should watch him hit Mom and not do anything?”

Shen Zihao could only hang his head, as Shen Liangchuan fired away these questions.

Although he hated Xia Yehua for abandoning him, he had been keeping an eye on how she and Shen Liangchuan had been doing all these years.

He knew that it had been a long and hard journey for them to get where they were today.

Even though they were now living in villa and had three or four housekeepers, compared to what the Shen family had, this villa was the equivalent of a tiny corner.

Hence from his perspective, Mom and Shen Liangchuan were almost living in poverty, but this was the price they had to pay for abandoning him.

And because of this, he also felt that it had been awfully wrong of Shen Xiu to bring a bunch of men to harass them.

Besides, Xia Yehua’s back…

Shen Zihao did not speak another word, but took Xia Nuannuan’s hand, saying, “I understand. We’ll go home now then.”

He did not bring up another unreasonable request.

He could not say more, because he found himself not being able to face Xia Yehua.

“Zihao, why don’t you have dinner before you leave?”

Xia Yehua took two steps towards them, hoping to keep them for a little longer.

Shen Zihao halted, yet he said, “There’s no need for that.”

He led Xia Nuannuan out of the door, into the car, and then drove away from the villa.
