He would rather bear the burden alone than let her know the truth.
–
Qiao Lian had no idea when she fell asleep. When she awoke, the skies were lit by the morning sun.
She looked at the time. 7 a.m.
By the time she got out of bed, washed up and got everything ready, Xia Yehua was already in the dining room having breakfast.
Qiao Lian walked over to her. Xia Yehua reached for her hand. “You guys must have been awfully busy, I haven’t seen neither of you all day.”
Smiling reassuringly, Qiao Lian said, “I have nothing planned for today, I’ll keep you company.”
Xia Yehua nodded.
Qiao Lian thought for a bit and finally decided to ask, “Mom, are you visiting Yuanxi again today?”
The mention of Song Yuanxi caused Xia Yehua to feel a complex mix of emotions.
She had watched the girl grow up and treated the girl like her own daughter.
On the one hand, she had done a great deal of damage and harm to the family. On the other hand, she had now lost her sanity...
Xia Yehua both resented and missed the girl.
She was quiet for a moment before answering Qiao Lian’s question. “No, I won’t go today. The rehab home allows two visits a week and they are strict about it. I’ll just go once a week and that will be good enough.”
Once a week.
Before this, when Song Yuanxi was hospitalized, Xia Yehua had visited her every day.
It looked like Xia Yehua was ultimately upset and angry at the girl.
But who could blame her for feeling that way? In the end, Song Yuanxi had used her car to return to the villa, and had even injured Shen Liangchuan. It must have made her heart ache.
It wasn’t hard to understand Xia Yehua’s position.
Qiao Lian had leisure time that morning after breakfast.
Seeing that both Xia Yehua and Auntie Li were busy gardening, she sneaked out.
She hailed a cab and asked to be taken to the rehab home.
Now, after discovering that Zi Chuan was Liangchuan and that the room on the third floor had nothing to do with this supposed “first love sister” mentioned by Song Yuanxi, the mystery deepened as to why Song Yuanxi hated her so much.
Qiao Lian felt that there must be a reason why Song Yuanxi had such deep hatred towards her.
And the reason, she was sure, had something to do with Shen Liangchuan.
She took a deep breath. This matter was endless and complex.
As she was struggling with her thoughts, the cell phone rang.
She looked down at the screen. It was Sun Linan.
She picked up the line. Sun Linan’s voice came through from the other end, “Qiao Lian, are you free in two weeks?”
Qiao Lian frowned. “What’s up?”
“Erm... Did you know that Lot is hosting a competition in Beijing? Let’s go watch the competition! I have tickets!”
Qiao Lian rolled her eyes.
Would she need to watch the competition?
She was one of the competitors!
Qiao Lian grimaced and said, “No, it’s okay.”
Sun Linan was surprised. “Didn’t you use to like eSports? Why don’t you want to go?”
Qiao Lian tried to put an end to the conversation and said, “Eh... I have tickets.”
“Oh, you frightened me. I thought you were no longer interested in it!” Sun Linan seemed to be getting more excited as he spoke.
He could finally unveil the big surprise he had been planning for so long for Qiao Lian.
When Qiao Lian finally found out that the champion team, King Team, was his team, she would change her perspective of him completely.
And he would gift the team to her right there and then, as his surprise present for her.
Qiao Lian had always wanted to establish a team and now, he was making her dreams come true.
Thinking of this made Sun Linan all the more excited. “Erm... In a week... you have to be there!”
Qiao Lian answered, “For sure, I’ll be there.”
