Chapter 806 - He Followed Closely Like a Shadow (29) (1/2)

Shen Zihao paused.

He floored the brake and pulled the car to a stop. Turning to Xia Nuannuan, he asked, “What do you mean by that?”

She hung her head and replied softly, “I- I’m just saying. After all, I’m not sure about what happened with your family.”

She looked so timid that Shen Zihao found himself unable to get angry at her.

Besides, she had said “your family?”

His eyes flashed. He cleared his throat and looked straight ahead saying, “Actually, at the time, when Mom and Dad got divorced all of a sudden, Mom took Shen Liangchuan and left the Shen family, I did suspect it.”

Xia Nuannuan lifted her gaze and turned to him, listening to his account of the past.

He continued, “At the time, I came home from overseas. Dad said Mom and Tianyu’s father had had an affair, and that’s why she had left the Shen Family. On top of that, she left the family without a cent in her pocket.”

“Later on, I went to look for Mom. However, Mom said she had left because she had caught Dad and Aunty Mei having an affair.”

Both sides had their own story.

Still looking at Shen Zihao, Xia Nuannuan asked him, “So what was it that made you believe Dad’s story rather than Mom’s?

Shen Zihao took in a deep breath and replied, “It was Mom’s evasiveness when I spoke with her. Besides, if you suspect your husband to be having an affair, why would you leave without taking anything with you? Even if it were a divorce, you could go through the normal process. She made such a clean cut that it was obvious she was leaving the Shen family for good. Besides, I asked many people and investigated deeply. Dad and Aunty Mei really had nothing between them. Their relationship was purely supervisor and subordinate. But Mom and Tianyu’s father… they had indeed met in secret frequently.”

Met in secret frequently—he placed emphasis on those words.

He pursed his lips tightly and said, “Tianyu’s father liked my Mom when he was young and everyone knew that. They were childhood sweethearts, but Mom married Dad later. Dad often told me when I was little that he was afraid that Mom would abandon us.”

He paused for a while and then continued, “Tianyu’s mother died not long after giving birth to him. And it was all because she felt depressed about what was happening between Tianyu’s father and Mom.”
