Chapter 1226: Xia Yehua’s Marriage (21)
It was obvious that Li Mao had heard the news and thus hurried over.
But sadly, he was still late.
When he walked into the living room and heard them interrogating Xia Yehua, he instantly panicked. The panicking man had abruptly made a really dumb remark.
Directly protecting Xia Yehua in front of his original wife’s family was definitely the greatest trigger for the Zhang family.
Zhang Yuan’s brother immediately became furious. He took a step forward and grabbed Li Mao. He shouted angrily with reddened eyes, “Li Mao, how dare you say such a thing?! Did you forget what I told you when I handed Yuanyuan to you then?! For this woman, do you now intend to break up with the Zhang family?!”
Back then, Li Mao and Zhang Yuan’s marriage had been arranged by the two families.
If the Li family and the Zhang family broke up now, there would definitely be a huge negative impact on both families.
Li Mao panicked and said, “Brother, hear me out! Yuanyuan indeed pa.s.sed away due to an illness. I can swear to G.o.d that I’m speaking the truth! Yuanyuan’s death has nothing to do with Xia Yehua at all. Xia Yehua hadn’t even divorced Shen Xiu when Yuanyuan got sick.”
“So what if they hadn’t divorced?! Both of you were having an affair, so when Shen Xiu found out, Xia Yehua divorced him without taking anything. It must be that! Why would Xia Yehua divorce him without asking for anything? So this is the reason. You two are really shameless, a pair of despicable cheaters!” Zhang Yuan’s sister-in-law had just totally completely made up the story with her a.s.sumptions.
Furthermore, after putting everything together, it seemed like what she had come out with made sense.
After all, no one would believe that as a father, Shen Xiu would want to kill his son with his own hands.
Even if they told them the truth, these people wouldn’t believe them.
But Shen Zihao was immediately triggered. He took a step forward and shouted, “Who are you calling despicable cheaters? You’d better believe that if you say it again, I will tell my people to come and hit you.”
The furious Shen Zihao immediately pulled up his sleeves and said, “If you have anything to say, you can say it, but don’t yell at people without a reason. Where is your etiquette?!”
Zhang Yuan’s nephew, who was about the same age as Shen Zihao, immediately stood up and said, “Shen Zihao, talking is cheap. Don’t speak as if you can understand what we are going through. The one that died isn’t your aunt, you can obviously keep your cool! My grandma had to bid my aunt farewell as her mother. Do you know that she almost left along with my aunt then?!”
Shen Zihao sneered and said, “I don’t care. As long as anyone dares to scold my mom again, I will not forgive you. My fist doesn’t have eyes!”
After he said so, he even waved his fist at Zhang Yuan’s sister-in-law. She immediately frowned, but it was obvious that Shen Zihao’s threat had worked, as the words they spoke after were no longer that malicious.
Zhang Yuan’s brother did not bother with his threat. He only stared at Li Mao and said, “Hmph, you’re speaking nonsense again for the sake of getting her off the blame. You really made a lot of effort! Yuanyuan was sick? How would we not know? Don’t come here and make up stories.”
Li Mao panicked and reb.u.t.ted, “Brother, everything I said was real. Yuanyuan was indeed sick, she had already known that she was dying since the start. It’s just that she didn’t want all of you to worry and did not let you know.”
After saying so, Li Mao looked at Xia Yehua once again and said, “The reason why I had dared to help you openly was because she suggested it. She was the one who asked me to lend you a hand.”
His words stunned everyone in the room.
