She Becomes Glamorous After The Engagement Annulment Ⅱ - Chapter 736

Chapter 736: That Matter Eight Years Ago (5)

The next day, when Qiao Lian woke up, Shen Liangchuan was already downstairs working out.

After she finished washing up, she headed downstairs, where she found Xia Yehua frowning while sitting on the sofa and speaking to Auntie Li, “I’m sure he did it on purpose! He already knew that I invited the in-laws for dinner tonight, but he still intentionally made an appointment with them.”

“This old fool, Shen Xiu, is really the death of me! He always has to oppose me in order to feel good about himself.”

“We bought lots of vegetables yesterday.”

As Xia Yehua was saying this, her eyes turned red with indignation.

When Qiao Lian saw this, she was stunned and immediately rushed down the stairs. “Mom, what happened?”

Auntie Li was also livid. “Madam already invited the in-laws to come over to our house for dinner tonight, and everyone had agreed to it. However, Shen Xiu just rang Madam up suddenly to tell her that he has invited the in-laws to have dinner tonight at Together Restaurant, to discuss the wedding.”

Since this meeting was about discussing the wedding, even if Dad Xia wanted to go to their house for dinner, it would not be possible.

After all, as tradition stated, marrying into a family meant that the wife had to follow her husband. Xia Nuannuan was going to marry Shen Zihao and Shen Zihao was from the Shen family, indeed.

Dad Xia probably also would not dare to offend Shen Xiu, because Xia Yehua, as his daughter, was marrying into the Shen Family soon.

Actually, yesterday, Xia Yehua had been the whole day busy with preparations to welcome the in-laws. There was no way Xia Yehua would not be disappointed at the news.

Qiao Lian frowned.

As she was pondering about it, the house phone started to ring.

She walked towards it, answered the call and heard Xia Nuannuan’s voice on the other end of the line. “Hello?”

“It’s me, Nuannuan. What’s up?” Qiao Lian spoke immediately.

Xia Nuannuan’s gentle voice, even over the telephone, could make one feel as if one was bathing in the spring breeze. “So, Zihao’s dad just called to inform us that he has already made a reservation for a private room at Together Restaurant, and he’s inviting us for dinner tonight. However, my dad and Auntie already arranged to meet tonight for dinner. I’ve just discussed with Zihao this issue, so I would like to check with Auntie if she would be fine if all of us had dinner together.”

It was obvious as to what she was trying to convey.

Shen Xiu had already made a reservation with the restaurant before informing Dad Xia about it.

This had caught the Xia family off guard.

Actually, with Shen Xiu’s temper, who knew? It could have sounded more like an order than a notification.

Xia Nuannuan was afraid that Xia Yehua would be unhappy and that was why she had come up with this solution.

Qiao Lian then related Xia Nuannuan’s intentions to Xia Yehua. Xia Yehua smiled coldly and replied, “I’ll go, why shouldn’t I go? I have never once done anything wrong to him, why should I be afraid to see him?!”

When she finished speaking, Auntie Li couldn’t help but to nudge her a little. “Evidently, you are worried that they will make things difficult for Nuannuan without your presence and so, that’s why you have decided to go. There is no reason to speak as if you are going there to ruin the whole meeting.”

The other time, when Dad Xia and Mom Xia went over to the Shen family, they left without even having dinner.

Needless to say, something unhappy must have happened.

And so, Xia Yehua had been eager to invite them over for dinner, in view of reconciliation.

This time she definitely had to turn up, and she would also bring along Qiao Lian and Shen Liangchuan to help back Xia Nuannuan up.

As she thought of this, Xia Yehua stood up. At the same time Shen Liangchuan, who was done with his work-out, stepped into the house. When Xia Yehua saw him she immediately told him, “Please arrange for a car to pick Dad Xia and Mom Xia tonight.”

Shen Liangchuan nodded.

Time flew and soon it was the evening. The three members of the Shen family headed towards the hotel, feeling energized and gallant.

When they arrived at the hotel, they saw that Mei Feng was already seated in the private room. When they saw one another, they narrowed their eyes and smiled.
