Rebirth of a Fashionista: This Life Is Soo Last Season

Chapter 175 - Settling Accounts

"You're back just in time for dinner. Come and eat!" Old Madam Sheng smiled and waved as she saw Sheng Xun and the others enter the house.

"Yes, Mother," Liang Xiaohui smiled as she replied.

"Grandfather, Grandmother, you guys sit down first. I'll go wash my hands and be back soon," Sheng Shiyun said as she headed towards the kitchen.

Sheng Xun stood in the living room, his tone calm as he said, "Now that everyone's here, let's talk things through."

Sheng Shiyun paused, suddenly feeling nervous.

Not only was Liang Xiaohui nervous, but she was also shocked. Straightening her back, she put on a calm facade so that she wouldn't reveal her nervousness.

"What's wrong, son?" Old Madam Sheng, who sensed that something was off, looked at him curiously.

"If you have anything to say, leave it for after dinner." Old Master Sheng was about to walk towards the dining room.

Sheng Xun didn't move. He simply looked at Old Madam Sheng as he asked, "Mum, the bracelet on Liang Xiaohui's hand, was it given by you?"

"Yes," Old Madam Sheng nodded as she confirmed, glancing at Liang Xiaohui.

"So, the head ornament on Sheng Shiyun was also gifted by you?" Sheng Xun continued.

Old Master Sheng stopped, his eyebrows raised as he looked towards him. "Sheng Xun, why do you ask these things without rhyme or reason?"

Sheng Xun didn't answer his father's question, he only looked at Old Madam Sheng. "Did you take these ornaments from Jiaoyang's room?"

"I-I..." Old Madam Sheng looked at Liang Xiaohui, but the latter wasn't even looking at her. "I took it. Jiaoyang was already dead, and since she couldn't use it, leaving it there was a waste. I'm her grandmother, yet I can't take her things?"

"Okay, okay." Sheng Xun slowly nodded, his expression was so calm that it was frightening.

Old Madam Sheng let out a breath. Just when she was about to call him to eat, she saw him look towards Liang Xiaohui to say words that shocked her heart.

"Put Jiaoyang's things back in their original positions. If there's even one thing missing or broken, you can scram."

Liang Xiaohui's legs weakened and she collapsed to the floor, paralysed.

"Sheng Xun!" Old Master Sheng supported his wife, his voice stern as he roared.

Sheng Xun didn't answer, and without consulting anyone, he went upstairs.

Sheng Shiyun helped Liang Xiaohui up, saying hatefully, "Xu Jiaojiao must've said something to father."

"How did she recognise our ornaments?"

"Mother, have you forgotten? The bride from today is the adopted daughter of Sheng Jiaoyang's grandfather. Xu Jiaojiao is the bride's daughter."

"What are both of you talking about? Why does it always go back to Sheng Jiaoyang's grandfather?" Old Master Sheng stared at them.

"It's nothing, Father, Mother. I don't feel well today, so I won't accompany you to eat." Liang Xiaohui glanced at Sheng Shiyun before walking upstairs.

Sheng Shiyun also hurriedly told the two elders that she didn't have any appetite as she followed her mother upstairs.

The two elders sat at the table, looking at the spread of scrumptious dishes. However, they couldn't swallow anything. All these years, their son had never cared about household affairs. Now that he was paying attention to Jiaoyang's ornament, it was very unusual.
