But as she walked to the side, a large hand reached out and took her cell phone away.
She was taken aback. Turning around, she saw Shen Liangchuan standing behind her. He said, “Are you unhappy about his marriage?”
Unhappy?
Then she realized that a certain man was jealous.
She looked at Shen Liangchuan, completely bemused by his reaction. Then she shook her head and said, “What are you thinking? Second Brother and I are like siblings. We grew up together. Actually, although he looks evil and has a cruel streak, he tends to cover up for people’s shortcomings. If you really think about it, he’s a really alright person.”
“Oh and?”
“And…” Qiao Lian shrugged and cleared her throat before she said, “That’s all, there’s no and.”
At this point, she retreated a step.
A jealous man is a scary man.
But before she could take another step, she was held back by her shoulders.
She turned around and found herself looking at Shen Liangchuan, who was staring at her. He asked, “There is no and? Really?”
“Truly!”
Qiao Lian said as though she was swearing upon her own life.
Shen Liangchuan nodded.
Her gaze then fell on her cell phone as she said, “So can I have my cell phone back now?”
“So that you can call him and ask him not to get married?”
Qiao Lian nodded.
Shen Liangchuan, however, said very seriously, “Qiao Lian.”
Qiao Lian paused.
Shen Liangchuan cast his gaze down and said, “There are many Qiao Yiyi’s in Suzhou, so you really don’t have to worry.”
She was stunned by his remark and demanded, “What do you mean?”
Shen Liangchuan kept silent.
Suddenly, Qiao Lian was struck by a realization. “So is he going to just marry any other girl by the name of Qiao Yiyi?! How can he be so casual about it?! Getting married is not a small matter!”
On this note, she snatched the cell phone out of Shen Liangchuan’s hand anxiously.
However the next moment, she paused.
Indeed.
Getting married was not a small matter.
But perhaps, it was the only way to calm the storm that the Lu family was facing?
This indeed was a clever idea.
Once news of the wedding went out, it would at least suppress the negative gossip.
Besides, Lu Nanze was already close to thirty yet still a bachelor. This could easily upset the investors. Getting married would be equivalent to settling down.
That would help him project a more trustworthy image.
All of these were Lu Nanze’s own decisions.
She, Qiao Lian, indeed had no right to interfere, nor was she in a position to.
As she thought about this, she put away her cell phone again and turned around.
She was about to say something when there was a knock on the door.
Shen Liangchuan walked over and opened the door. An excited Shen Zihao charged in.
“Guess who’s here?”
Shen Liangchuan frowned and asked, “Who?”
“Why don’t you come down quickly and see for yourselves?!”
Qiao Lian and Shen Liangchuan exchanged a look. They walked to the stair landing, where if they looked down, they could see the living room. Xia Yehua was sitting on the sofa and in front of her, there was a handsome man in his 50s. He stood there grinning and looking at her.
Pausing for a moment, Qiao Lian heard Shen Liangchuan explain, “That’s Tianyu’s father.”
She understood in a flash.
So this was Tianyu’s father, the one who was rumored to have been involved with Xia Yehua and misunderstood by Shen Xiu.
The man was in a suit and leather shoes. He looked mature and composed. Just one look and it was clear he was a reliable man.
Besides, compared with Shen Xiu, this man looked a lot more honest.
