At the dinner table, she wanted to bring up the old topic again, but her father rejected her with a single sentence. He frowned and said, "Let's eat. Don't keep bringing up these unimportant things at the dinner table."
Shen's father was the center of power in the family. Once he spoke, Shen's mother naturally wouldn't refute him, and even if she had a lot of anger, she would obediently swallow it back.
He shut up, looking annoyed.
As Shen Fenghua watched all this, her heart felt like it was stuffed with cotton, making her feel suffocated.
