When Shen Zihao picked them up nearby the airport, he had checked Qiao Lian up with a big grin on his face and said, “Woah, Sister-in-law, it’s only been a few months since I last saw you, and you’ve put on weight!”
Qiao Lian: …
Ignoring the fact that commenting about a woman putting on weight was very annoying, he walked ahead excitedly and drove them home.
On the way, Qiao Lian asked, “How is Nuannuan now?”
Shen Zihao answered happily, “She’s alright now. She was discharged from the hospital yesterday and she’s at home now! She said she had to come home to be with Mom on her birthday.”
It was obvious from what he was saying that the couple had gotten back together.
Thinking that from now on there would be someone to control a runaway horse like Shen Zihao, Qiao Lian couldn’t help but laugh.
All was good as long as Xia Nuannuan was well!
The car sped along the way home.
Shen Liangchuan glanced at Qiao Lian and worried that she might feel unwell. He cleared his throat and reminded Shen Zihao, “Slow down with the driving.”
Shen Zihao replied, “… I can’t. Before I came here, Nuannuan said that she was boiling soup for me and the timing would only be just right if we got back now!”
Qiao Lian: …
Shen Liangchuan: …
What was with this overdose of love?
But in hindsight, it was understandable. After going through a life-and-death episode, it really wasn’t so strange that the two were now completely inseparable.
Qiao Lian smiled as she shook her head.
Very soon, they arrived at the Shen family villa, which was also Shen Liangchuan’s home.
However, as the car was entering the compound, they noticed a black Bentley sedan in the courtyard.
Upon seeing the car license plate number, the three of them furrowed their brows at once.
What was Shen Xiu doing here?
They quickly got out of the car and dashed into the house.
At first, they thought there was going to be another big fight, but unexpectedly, the atmosphere in the living room was extremely odd.
Shen Xiu was sitting alone awkwardly on the sofa.
On the other end of the sofa, Xia Yehua and Xia Nuannuan were talking to themselves, completely ignoring Shen Xiu.
He spoke aloud, “What do you think of what I just said?”
Xia Yehua glared at him and then spoke, “If you have finished what you have to say, then you may leave.”
Shen Xiu protested, “I think there’s a logic to what I’m saying, why are you being so unreasonable?!”
Xia Yehua raised an eyebrow and said, “You can even say something like asking Liangchuan to divorce Xiao Qiao? Let me tell you, you can stop dreaming, they will never get a divorce.”
Shen Xiu laughed icily and continued, “Qiao Lian’s parents were scammers, the word has gone around!! I’m telling you that this is not my personal opinion, it’s the board’s opinion. If Shen Liangchuan wishes to continue working in the family business, then he’ll have to get a divorce. The Shen family enterprise will not accept a woman with a bad record to be the CEO’s wife!”
Xia Yehua smirked and said, “I think that’s not the board’s opinion, it’s your own opinion. Shen Xiu, just because you yourself divorced once, you can’t stand seeing other couples being happy? I’m telling you now, I am not agreeing with you on this.”
“You disagree? You have to agree even if you disagree! Let me ask you, how long has that Qiao Lian been married to Shen Liangchuan? Many months I suppose! Look at how skinny she is, I’m sure there’s something wrong with her health. Otherwise how come she’s still not pregnant? If she doesn’t give Shen Liangchuan a child or two, then what is she good for?”
