Chapter 804 - He Followed Closely Like a Shadow (28) (1/2)

This move on Mei Feng’s part was too sudden, so Xia Yehua was certainly not prepared and rather shocked.

However, no one stepped forward to help her up, even after they got over the initial surprise.

She had broken up Xia Yehua’s family and caused Xia Yehua and her son to leave the Shen family without a cent in their pockets. Hence, no one felt that the kneeling was uncalled for.

Xia Yehua certainly had earned the right to deserve it.

She laughed icily and asked, “What do you think you’re doing?”

Qiao Lian played along with much sarcasm and said, “Mom, I do remember learning somewhere that in the old days, concubines marrying into a family would have to bow down to the lawful wife and head of the household. I wonder if Madam Mei here is asking you to acknowledge her place in the family?”

The atmosphere of the solemnly silent room at once became relaxed with Qiao Lian’s evil sense of humor.

Mocked, Mei Feng’s expression visibly darkened.

Feigning ignorance, Qiao Lian continued, “Oh, but we’re in modern times now and there really aren’t so many formalities. Madam Mei, I think you’d better get up.”

Mei Feng gritted her teeth in anger at Qiao Lian’s words.

Her chest was heaving.

But given that she was the one who had climbed to where she was through silent endurance, she managed to curb her emotions very quickly. She hung her head to hide the hatred in her eyes and said, “Sister Xia, Zihao’s Mom… I beg of you to drop the charges, please. Zihao’s wedding is coming. It’s unlucky to have to deal with such things when we’re preparing for a wedding! For Zihao’s sake, I beg of you.”

Her words exasperated Xia Yehua.

For the sake of Zihao…

In the first place, she had already decided to drop the charges. But now, wouldn’t it look like she was dropping the charges because Mei Fung had come to kneel before her and beg her?

Xia Yehua was infuriated and frowned. Her fists were tightly clenched.

Still kneeling before her, Mei Feng continued, “I know you dislike me and you’ve held a grudge for all these years. But I’m kneeling before you now to appease you. Please don’t make it difficult for Zihao. In his heart, he does think of you as his mother!”

Xia Yehua was speechless.

Since when had she ever made things difficult for Shen Zihao?
