Chapter 1506: Chapter 1277: I Hate Her (2)

Shi Yuanbo pursed his lips. Despite being angry, he knew he had to endure it at such times.

Moreover, Tian Chao had grown up by his side, and he had some responsibility for not educating him well.

He said, "Yansheng, Nuannuan, quickly come inside. I’ll scold this naughty boy properly later!"

Shi Tianchao hurriedly hid behind Li Guirong upon hearing this. Li Guirong, feeling awkward, tried to smooth things over, "Alright, today Nuannuan and Yansheng are back, and Jiaojiao will bring Shuyan later. On such a good day, let’s not say anything to scare the kids. Let’s go inside first!"

Shi Nuan frowned upon hearing this and asked, "Is Yao Shuyan also coming?"

Shi Yuanbo was startled, then he smiled and said, "...Yes, I thought we could have a family reunion dinner together. Your sister... and Shuyan are planning to get engaged before the new year!"

Shi Nuan said nothing, but she knew this meal wouldn’t be enjoyable.

Originally, she thought her father called her back when Shi Jiaojiao wasn’t around.

But unexpectedly, not only was Shi Jiaojiao here, but she was also bringing Yao Shuyan.

Although she didn’t consider Yao Shuyan a friend, the thought of him being with Shi Jiaojiao made her uncomfortable.

The group returned to the living room, and as soon as they sat down, the Longjing tea Li Guirong mentioned arrived.

Since learning Song Yansheng had married Shi Nuan, Li Guirong had become much more enthusiastic towards Shi Nuan.

She smiled as she handed the Longjing tea to the couple, saying, "Quickly try this; I specially had friends buy this authentic West Lake Longjing Tea for us!"

Shi Nuan did not respond but said, "Dad, I haven’t been back for a long time. I want to go upstairs to look at my room and take some things when I leave!"

Li Guirong felt awkward and glanced at Shi Yuanbo.

Shi Yuanbo coughed lightly and said, "Okay... you can, but since your aunt specially prepared the tea, have a cup before going upstairs!"

Shi Nuan hesitated, picked up the teacup, and drank most of it in one gulp.

One more sip, and the cup was empty.

She placed the teacup on the table and asked Shi Yuanbo, "Dad, can I go upstairs now?"

At this point, Shi Yuanbo couldn’t say anything else; he nodded, "Go ahead, call someone if you need anything!"

Shi Nuan acknowledged and got up.

As Shi Nuan went upstairs, Shi Yuanbo and Li Guirong continued accompanying Song Yansheng downstairs.

Song Yansheng’s expression remained indifferent throughout, and his attitude toward Shi Yuanbo and his wife was quite cold, leaving them unsure of what to say.

After Shi Nuan’s figure disappeared, Song Yansheng’s gaze returned to look at the couple across from him.

They immediately sat up straight, looking at Song Yansheng.

Song Yansheng smiled faintly and said, "Father-in-law, Ms. Li, Nuannuan is naturally like that, please don’t take it to heart!"

Shi Yuanbo hurriedly waved, "Yansheng, don’t say that, it would make me feel ashamed!"

Li Guirong also tried to join in the conversation, "Yes, Nuannuan being like that has a lot to do with me. I... I’ve made too many mistakes in the past!"

Song Yansheng smirked as if he didn’t mind, and said lightly, "Let’s not talk about that now, since I’m here today, I have some questions to ask you both, about Nuannuan..., well, more specifically, about Nuannuan and my deceased mother-in-law..."

Both were surprised, especially Li Guirong.

Song Yansheng called the deceased Li Hua his mother-in-law but referred to her as Ms. Li.

She was Shi Yuanbo’s wife and Shi Nuan’s stepmother, yet Song Yansheng didn’t acknowledge her at all.

It’s such an awkward situation for her.

But she couldn’t say anything, having difficulty finding the right words.

Talking about the deceased ex-wife made Shi Yuanbo uncomfortable, but since the matter involved his daughter Shi Nuan, and Song Yansheng wanted to ask, it must mean something was going on with his daughter recently.

He took a deep breath and said, "Go ahead and ask!"

Song Yansheng looked into Shi Yuanbo’s eyes and asked, "I want to know, under what circumstances would Nuannuan want to visit my mother-in-law’s grave?"

Shi Yuanbo was momentarily stunned, "Yansheng, I don’t really understand what you mean by that?"

"I mean, in the past, under what circumstances would Nuannuan want to visit my mother-in-law’s grave? When she’s sad? When she has something on her mind? Or when she encounters a difficult problem?"

Shi Yuanbo frowned and said, "Has Nuannuan recently gone to her mother’s grave? When was this?"

Song Yansheng said, "We can discuss those questions later, for now, I hope Father-in-law can answer mine!"

Shi Yuanbo pursed his lips, his face not looking very good, he said, "When Nuannuan was little, that is... just after I remarried, her personality was quite stubborn, and when certain things happened, like arguing with Jiaojiao, she would have the family driver take her to her mother’s gravesite.
