    Feeling terribly nervous suddenly, Xia Nuannuan squeaked, “It’s me.”


    Immediately, the side gate next to the huge metal gate swung open. Behind it stood a security officer who, when he saw Xia Nuannuan, frowned and asked, “Who are you?”


    Surprised by the question, she hung her head for a moment and began, “I—”


    Dad Xia stepped forward and said, “We are Shen Zihao’s—”


    Before he could finish, the security officer frowned again and asked, “Do you have an appointment?”


    Dad Xia paused at this question. “What?”


    The security officer waved his hand impatiently. “Go away! How could I let you in without an appointment? Do you think this is a tourist attraction? Our Sir and Madam are extremely busy people and have no time to see shabby people like you.”


    Dad Xia was immediately belligerent to hear the word “shabby” being used on them.


    Xia Nuannuan too, looked up in horror.


    Thest time she had visited, besides being awed by the luxury of the Shen family home, she had left with the impression that the employees of the household were all very well-mannered.


    But this person...


    She bit her lip.


    The emotions she was experiencing were a little hard to take and it made her feel quite sick.


    Xia Nuannuan was outwardly gentle, but she was a tough person inside. She might have probably not have said a word if she had been the one who got insulted, but this person had insulted her parents as well.


    Feeling a little angry now, she grabbed her father’s hand and looked at the security officer, saying, “Did Aunty Mei not tell you that I’ming here today?”


    The security officer fell silent for a moment and then asked, “Who are you? Even the servants in the Shen household are more decently dressed than you. Would the Shens have such poor rtives?”


    Even the servants were more decently dressed.


    This, Xia Nuannuan did not doubt.


    Because thest time she hade, she had seen that the servants were all wearing customized uniforms of an international brand.


    All the staff in the vi were strictly supervised.


    Xia Nuannuan had never minded being poor, and she had never envied people who were wealthy.


    But still...


    Being told off this way right in her face...


    Dad Xia didn’t look pleased at all. “What did you just say?”


    Mom Xia frowned too and red at the man, her chest heaving with anger.


    Looking straight at the security officer, Xia Nuannuan bit her lip and said after a pause, “I’m Shen Zihao’s wife.”


    As soon as she said this, the security officer immediately realized, “Ah, it’s you!!”


    “Madam, I’m so sorry! I didn’t recognize you... after all...”


    He rudely gave Xia Nuannuan a look and startedughing as he took a step backward. He said, “Well then, please wait here, I’ll go and inform the people in the house.”


    Following this, he shut the metal side gate and disappeared.


    Xia Nuannuan was stunned.


    Her eyes reddened at once, as she had never been this insulted and shamed before.


    She turned towards her father, who waspelled to ask her, “Is everyone in his family so pompous?”


    Standing on the side, Mom Xia said, “Okay, enough, stop being so unforgiving. Looking at how polite Zihao is, I’m sure his family brought him up well. This security officer... Let’s forget about him. Maybe they have troublemakers turning up all the time and he thinks we’re...”


    She found herself unable to continue.


    Although the Xia Family came from a small vige, they were considered a well-off family.


    Furthermore, Dad Xia was a teacher and was well-respected.


    He had never been subject to such treatment.


    On top of that...


    Since their identities were now known, why were they being kept outside a shut gate?


    The three of them choked with anger.
