Chapter 429: Was It Her?! (9)
At this point, Shen Liangchuan stood up. The look in his eyes was deep and unfathomable. “She bought a bag recently that cost her 200 000.”
Qiao Lian was stunned for a moment and then heaved a sigh of relief.
She couldn’t imagine what would have happened if Song Yuanxi had turned out to be the one who had switched her birth control drug. Both Xia Yehua and Shen Liangchuan were both so fond of her, if the perpetrator had been her, the implications would have been too terrifying.
On hindsight, Song Yuanxi’s reaction after Shen Liangchuan had visited her made sense now.
Her show of defiance had been because she had felt terribly wronged.
Looking back at her own reaction when Song Yuanxi had suspected her, she had had similar emotions.
Now…
Qiao Lian sighed and said, “Why don’t you ask her to come home? We’ve been unfair to her by suspecting her.”
Shen Liangchuan was quiet for a moment before he said, “She’s chosen to stay at the filming set. She said she wanted to pick up more acting techniques from her seniors.”
For a moment, Qiao Lian was surprised. Then she said “ok.”
The fact that the perpetrator wasn’t Song Yuanxi was the best outcome.
However, Qiao Lian didn’t notice an expression flashing across his face as he spoke.
She spoke again, “The birth control drug…”
Shen Liangchuan lowered his gaze. After a brief pause, he slowly said, “I took the drug to a specialist to be analyzed. There was something wrong with the formula.”
Qiao Lian exclaimed, “Many of these folk remedies that are around may actually be harmful! You should not put trust in them in the future.”
Shen Liangchuan nodded.
Qiao Lian kept asking, “And Wang Lan…”
He cast his gaze downward. “I did get someone to investigate. She has met with Mei Feng.”
It suddenly dawned on Qiao Lian.
So the reason for Shen Liangchuan’s anger a moment ago was probably the certainty of Mei Feng’s involvement in the matter.
However, because there was no solid proof, there was no way to convince Shen Zihao and Shen Zihao would probably keep misunderstanding them.
Qiao Lian took a step towards him and patted his shoulder lightly. “Blood is thicker than water. I believe that time will tell. Shen Zihao will understand Mom’s heart one day.”
These words suddenly reminded Qiao Lian of her own plight.
Was blood really thicker than water?
The fact was that at times your family can let you down and break your heart.
Lost in her own thoughts, she did not notice Shen Liangchuan looking at her steadily.
His expression was complex.
Seeing that she had stopped talking about the matter, he secretly heaved a sigh of relief.
–
After washing up, the two of them got into bed.
Qiao Lian was suddenly woken up in the middle of the night.
She sat up in a daze and with her eyes half-closed, she went to the bathroom and climbed back into bed.
She was about to fall back asleep when something struck her semi-conscious mind.
She suddenly paused and reached out, groping in the dark.
Forcing herself to open her sleepy eyes, she realized that Shen Liangchuan was not in bed.
She was stunned for a moment and thought that it was already morning. She reached for the bedside table and felt around it. When she found her cell phone, she took a look at the screen.
It was only three in the morning.
Where had Shen Liangchuan gone at this time of the night?
She sat up and shook her head, forcing herself to wake up.
She had just gone to the washroom and Shen Liangchuan was not there for sure. So had he… gone to the kitchen for water?
But even if he had gone for some water, in the time that she had used the washroom, he would have been back by now.
