Madam?
Xia Yehua was slightly taken aback as she lay on the bed. Then she smiled and said, "Old Li, I'm already Madam, why are you still calling me Madam — Ah!"
She gasped and her gaze fell on Qiao Lian.
Madam.
Her pupils shrank back and she sat up straight. Looking at Qiao Lian in disbelief, she stammered, "Xiao Qiao, you- you —"
Caretaker Li had no idea what was going on. She walked up with the food in her hands and said, "Madam, are you here with Sir to visit Madam? I bought a lot of groceries today. I'll cook for you this afternoon. Stay for lunch! "
After she said this, she realized that the atmosphere in the room was not quite right. She looked at Qiao Lian, then at Xia Yehua, and then at Shen Liangchuan. She kept quiet and hid in the kitchen. 13579246810
Qiao Lian froze on the spot, not daring to move an inch.
Behind her, Xia Yehua and Shen Liangchuan's gazes, one hot and one cold, fell on her back. It made her feel like she was in a world of ice and fire.
Was Aunt Xia angry?
Aunt Xia hated her daughter-in-law. So surely Aunt Xia didn't like her anymore?
After spending so much time together, Qiao Lian felt that Aunt Xia was like her mother. But now …
She slowly turned around and lowered her head, not daring to look at Aunt Xia's expression. She mumbled apologetically, "A- Aunt Xia, I- I didn't know you were … I- I'm sorry."
She bowed deeply and turned around again. Just as she was about to leave, she suddenly heard Xia Yehua's stern voice, "Xiao Qiao, come back here!"
Qiao Lian halted in her tracks.
Tears welled up in her eyes.
She had never been afraid of anyone making things difficult for her. But she had never expected to hear those harsh words coming from Aunt Xia.
She bit her lip and then heard Xia Yehua's voice, "You're my daughter-in-law?"
Qiao Lian nodded.
Xia Yehua wanted to say something more, but Shen Liangchuan suddenly took a step forward and said, "Mom, if you're not feeling unwell, we'll take our leave now."
As he said this, he grabbed Qiao Lian's arm and led her towards the door.
Qiao Lian looked at Shen Liangchuan in astonishment.
This man … had been suspicious of her, but now he was taking her away so quickly. Was it because he didn't want her to be put in a spot by Aunt Xia?
The rims of her eyes blurred.
Qiao Lian suddenly halted and reached out to hold his hand. "Wait a minute."
Her palm was warm and soft. Shen Liangchuan shuddered and unconsciously lowered his head to look at their interlocked hands.
Qiao Lian turned around and walked up to Xia Yehua. She looked up at her and said, "Auntie Xia, can I still call you Auntie? Can I still play games with you in the park? "
She didn't want to lose this kinship, so she mustered up the courage to turn around and ask.
Then, as she waited anxiously, she heard Xia Yehua's cold reply, "No."
Qiao Lian's heart shrank again.
She bit her lip and said dejectedly, "I know."
She turned around and was about to leave when she heard Xia Yehua's stern voice behind her. "I'm your mother-in-law. Why are you calling me auntie instead of mom?"
Qiao Lian froze and turned around in disbelief. Xia Yehua continued fiercely, "And no more games in the park! Don't you know it's getting cold? If you want to play, come home and play! "
