Chapter 1231: Xia Yehua’s Marriage (26)
The Zhang family members had charged into the Shen villa, brandis.h.i.+ng their swords, and left with their tails between their legs.
Li Mao and Li Tianyu both accompanied the Zhang family members as they left the Shen villa.
Senior Madam Zhang was teary-eyed as she stood at the doorway saying, “Good daughter, I have wrongfully accused you. I was in the wrong, good daughter, please don’t take it to heart.”
At this point, she broke down in tears and continued, “That disappointing daughter of mine actually fooled around and caught such a disease. Sob, sob, sob, my poor daughter, why was she so silly?!”
The old lady was devastated and Xia Yehua couldn’t help but sigh. She said, “Aunt Zhang, don’t cry anymore. Don’t worry, I won’t take it to heart.”
Senior Madam nodded.
On the side, Zhang Yuan’s elder brother and Li Mao were whispering to each other.
Elder Brother Zhang said, “This matter has gone viral on the internet. I fear there’s someone behind it, using the situation and the Zhang family to do something nasty. I won’t let this matter rest just like that, I will find out who the perpetrator is!”
If it hadn’t been for the person who had spread the rumors, the reason for his sister’s death would have never been known and the Zhang family would not have been this embarra.s.sed.
If news of a woman fooling around and then catching some nasty disease got out, her reputation would be done for.
Elder Brother Zhang felt really bad and said, “Li Mao, I’ve wrongfully accused you, it’s my fault.”
Li Mao sighed and gave the other man a few pats on his shoulder. “Don’t be so rash in the future. They’ll take advantage of you easily.”
Zhang Yuan’s elder brother sighed and nodded.
After the Zhangs left, peace and quiet was finally restored in the Shen villa.
Everyone sat around on the sofa and looked at Xia Yehua.
She had a calm expression on her face and she sat there quietly.
Qiao Lian glanced at her and walked towards her. “Mom—”
Xia Yehua interrupted, “You don’t have to say anything. I just want to be alone and have some quiet now.”
The fact was that the truth behind Zhang Yuan’s death had not only shocked the Zhang family, even Xia Yehua was shaken.
Li Mao and Zhang Yuan had been divorced for so many years, yet they had never announced it.
She didn’t know what to think of it, except that her own feelings were mixed and complex.
She sighed and said, “Actually, there’s no need to lose heart over this matter. That would be falling right into Mei Feng’s trap! But I really cannot understand why that woman keeps targeting me. She doesn’t lose anything if I’m together with Li Mao.”
Qiao Lian replied immediately, “I think it’s hatred, rooted in her envy and jealousy. Look at how well Uncle Li Mao treats you, but I think Mr. Shen doesn’t treat her very well.”
Shen Xiu was the father of Shen Liangchuan and Shen Zihao after all. Hence, Qiao Lian didn’t dare address him by his name.
Xia Yehua was speechless. “Just because of this?”
Frowning, Qiao Lian said, “I really can’t say for sure, but right now, Mom, hurry up and come help us decide. What sort of the wedding would you like?!”
Then she held out the designs to show Xia Yehua.
“Mom, what do you think of this dress? It has a train, so the skirt will add length to your profile. And this one would make you look exceptionally shapely.”

As the women spoke, on the other side of the room, Shen Zihao frowned and approached Shen Liangchuan.
