Shen Liangchuan froze at Shen Zihao’s words.

The latter stood there, staring at him stubbornly.

The two brothers were not too far apart in age.

Shen Liangchuan was about three years older than Shen Zihao.

And standing next to each other, they were about the same height.

Shen Liangchuan, however, had a certain composure that his brother lacked.

Next to him, Shen Zihao was like a child that had never quite grown up.

They stood facing each other, in a confrontational stance. An uncomfortable moment.

As though the situation wasn’t enough of a mess, Shen Xiu stood there pointing at Shen Liangchuan and telling Shen Zihao, “Zihao, you teach him a lesson! His manners have gone to the dogs. How dare he use physical force on me?”

Shen Zihao frowned upon hearing this.

Mei Feng immediately stood up, putting her hand on her own waist. “Honey, don’t be like this. They are still young and ignorant... Why put yourself on the same level?”

This was simply implying that Shen Liangchuan was ignorant.

Watching this scene, Qiao Lian felt uncomfortable for Shen Liangchuan.

Freaking hell... Shen Zihao was so muddle-headed.

It would have been beneath Shen Liangchuan’s dignity to pick a fight with a woman, however, she was not willing to let Shen Liangchuan be at a disadvantage. Stepping forward, Qiao Lian said, “Old lady, it’s true we are young and driven, unlike you, who fell on the ground at the slightest touch, like a delicate willow swaying in the wind.”

Mei Feng turned bright red. “You—”

Qiao Lian looked away. Turning to Shen Zihao, she said, “And you, do you even know what happened? Don’t you know your brother well enough? If it weren’t for someone pushing his boundaries, do you think he’d get this angry?”

Shen Zihao immediately turned to look at Shen Xiu.

The man frowned and sneered coldly, “What happened, actually? The things I said... were any of them untrue?”

Qiao Lian went quickly to the point so that she wouldn’t give Shen Zihao the wrong impression that she was sitting on the fence. “Mr. Shen, as an elder there’s nothing terribly wrong about berating Shen Liangchuan, but you really shouldn’t have dragged Mom’s name through the mud!”

Looking at Shen Zihao, she continued, “No matter what, she gave birth to you and fed you. Even if you’ve had some disagreements between you, how can it be right to say such negative things about her in public?”

Immediately, Shen Zihao looked confused and undecided. He even turned to Shen Xiu and asked, “What’s the matter?”

Seeming a little evasive now, Shen Xiu cleared his throat and said, “What could be the matter? Don’t you listen to her nonsense!”

Qiao Lian spoke again, “Li Chenyu had lent us a helping hand, but he said—”

“Enough!” Shen Xiu hollered angrily, looking ashamed at the same time. Turning to Shen Zihao, he said, “I made a remark about your mother and Li Chenyu’s father having something going between them. Do you believe me now? They helped without any benefits, so if it isn’t because of that sort of secret relation, what else could it be?”

Shen Zihao’s expression immediately darkened at these words.

At the time, his parents had suddenly divorced.

When he returned from abroad, his father had told him that his mother no longer wanted him. He had said she had taken his brother with her to seek some other man.

And on top of this, because his mother had had an affair, she had had to leave the family and take nothing with her.

In his mind, his mother had betrayed the family.

Hence now, these words triggered something that had laid buried deep in his heart.

Turning around and staring at Shen Liangchuan angrily, he said, “Isn’t dad right? Now I want you to apologize to Dad and Aunty Mei!”
