"Your Auntie Li hasn't enjoyed much in her life with me, but she's suffered a lot. 13579246810 I still remember eight years ago when we were chased out penniless. The three of us only had 30 dollars a day to live on. We couldn't even afford meat. "
Auntie Li and Xia Yehua began to reminisce about their past.
As they spoke, the topic shifted to Song Yuanxi.
"… That child was so pitiful at the time, but she's so obedient and sensible. After so many years, her temperament hasn't changed one bit. Everyone in the family knows that when you're in trouble, look to Yuanxi! Miss Yuanxi always says that she's been through a lot, and now that she's rich, she'll help as many people as she can. "
Auntie Li sighed and concluded, "Miss Yuanxi is really kind."
Xia Yehua nodded and looked at Qiao Lian. "Xiao Qiao, it was her fault for suspecting you. But Mom hopes you won't hold a grudge against her. She's an orphan, and we're her only family in this world. "
Qiao Lian's expression froze when she heard this, but she nodded in agreement.
If Song Yuanxi hadn't been the culprit, Xia Yehua wouldn't have held a grudge against her.
At half past ten, Xia Yehua went to bed because she was exhausted.
Qiao Lian waited for Shen Liangchuan to return.
Shen Liangchuan didn't come home until 11: 00 pm, and his cell phone was switched off.
Qiao Lian lay on the bed in the bedroom, waiting anxiously.
Finally, in the wee hours of the morning, she saw the silhouette of him entering the house.
She could feel the coldness of his aura.
Qiao Lian couldn't help but ask, "Why are you home so late? Have you investigated the matter? "
It was still dark, so there were no lights in the room, only the headlamp.
The faint yellow light spilled into the room and shone on Shen Liangchuan's cold body.
He was like a traveler walking alone in the dark, lonely and sad. It was as though there were heavy shackles weighing down on his shoulders.
Qiao Lian didn't know why, but she felt that he was gloomy at the moment.
His cold gaze made her shiver, as though she was in an icehouse.
She widened her eyes and called out cautiously, "Shen Liangchuan?"
Only then did he come back to his senses. As if he had just seen clearly that the person in front of him was her, his cold gaze finally focused on her.
Qiao Lian still wanted to say something, but he suddenly took a step forward and hugged her.
The coldness of his shirt seeped through her pajamas, causing her to shiver. But she could sense his loneliness at this moment. Hence, she did not speak. Instead, she reached out and wrapped her arms around his waist, trying to warm him up.
Then she heard Shen Liangchuan say, "Xiao Qiao, thank goodness you're alright."
Little Qiao …
Shen Liangchuan rarely addressed her in this manner, but at that moment, she found it strangely familiar.
While she was in a daze, she felt him slowly increase the strength of his embrace, as if he was afraid that she would leave.
She had never seen him like this before.
She could only hug him like this.
After an unknown period of time, his body gradually became warm again.
Only then did Shen Liangchuan let go of her. He removed his jacket and placed it on the sofa. With his back facing her, he said, "I looked for Yuanxi tonight."
Qiao Lian immediately perked up.
That's right, if he found out that Yuanxi had 200,000 dollars, he would definitely question her on her behalf.
But was it really Song Yuanxi?
