Chapter 912: Mei Feng’s True Colors (1)
Mei Feng stood there, teary-eyed.
Her gaze fell on Xia Nuannuan, who was looking radiant and at peace.
She glanced first at Xia Nuannuan and then shifted her gaze to Shen Zihao.
She saw that he was carrying a bag of vegetables, obviously bought by his wife.
Mei Feng’s pupils shrank back at once, as a feeling of jealousy came over her.
From a young age, she had always been the one accommodating to him and pampering him. When they went out, she had never made him carry anything for her.
So why should she suffer alone at home while Xia Nuannuan had Shen Zihao tightly wound around her little fingers enjoying life?
She bit her lip as this thought came to her mind.
All along, she had been betting on Xia Nuannuan not forgiving Shen Zihao and that sooner or later he would come home obediently.
But now they were living on their own and enjoying their married life.
How could she let that happen?
She must get Shen Zihao to come home.
Her determination grew stronger than ever.
With tears pouring down her face continuously, she looked at the two of them and said, “Nuannuan, I was wrong.”
Clutching her teary eyes, she continued, “Nuannuan, I really realized my mistake. Won’t you forgive Aunty Mei once?”
She knew that it would be useless to ask Shen Zihao to come home alone.
She had to convince Xia Nuannuan and have them both return together.
She reached out to grab Xia Nuannuan’s hand. Lowering her head, she said, “Your Aunty Mei was blind to have such thoughts. I now know I was in the wrong. Please come home with Zihao. Your Dad and I miss you both. It’s quiet and lonely in the house.”
Then she looked at Shen Zihao and said, “Zihao, your Dad is worried about you. He’s been coughing at night, losing sleep and he even told me he wondered how you are. And he’s even more worried about your child… Nuannuan is pregnant and it’s not easy to live away from home. Come home with me and I’ll make sure I look after her, wouldn’t that be good?”
It was a beautifully crafted speech without flaws, but Shen Zihao seemed to be wavering.
Noticing his expression, Xia Nuannuan immediately cast her gaze down. Then, just as she thought that he would trust Mei Feng, soften his heart and go home with her, she heard him say instead, “Aunty Mei, how can we go home?”
Mei Feng was taken aback slightly.
He continued, “After we go back, the housekeepers will say that Nuannuan is a thief! So how can we possibly go back? How do you suppose Nuannuan is going to live under the same roof as that bunch of people?”
Mei Feng immediately said, “Then let’s tell them that I gave her that money!”
The moment she said that, Xia Nuannuan sighed.
When Shen Zihao heard her sigh, he thought about it and at once understood. He replied to Mei Feng, “No one’s going to believe it. They will only think that you’ve created this as an out for Nuannuan, so that she can come home. So even if they look like they believe it, in their hearts they won’t.”
Seeing that Shen Zihao was not so easily convinced, Mei Feng bit her lip.
Lowering her head, she said after a moment, “Then tell them that it was I who framed Nuannuan, ok? I’ll admit what I’ve done. Come home with Nuannuan.”
Shen Zihao furrowed his brow and looked slightly convinced. He glanced at Xia Nuannuan.
In all honesty…
He had grown used to living in a large house.
Although the little rental apartment was cosy, it was too tiny to Shen Zihao.
Whenever he stood up, he felt like his head was going to hit the ceiling.
