Chapter 882: It Wasn’t Her (1)

Qiao Lian clutched the blanket tightly and buried her head in it.

After she calmed down, she took a deep breath.

Then, as though remembering something, she suddenly sat up and looked at the time. It was only 7 p.m.

She picked up her cell phone and dialed Xia Nuannuan’s number.

The call was picked up almost at once.

Xia Nuannuan said, “Hello? Lian Lian, what’s up?”

Qiao Lian said, “Nothing important. Do you have time?”

“Of course!” Xia Nuannuan put the book in her hand aside and gently rubbed her tired eyes. After Shen Zihao had spoken about it, Mei Feng had not dared to ask her to do the laundry anymore.

But obviously the woman had spread the word and the housekeepers no longer chatted with her. Even when she wanted to play on the computer, Mei Feng would forbid it, using radiation as an excuse.

Hence, she could only hang out in the study. She had picked a romance web-novel called “Because of Love.” The web-novel was humorous and a tear-jerker at the same time. She got hooked and hadn’t realized that so many hours had passed as she read.

She looked out the window and asked, “What’s up?”

“Nothing, actually. I just wanted to tell you that Mom misses Shen Zihao. If you can, try to get him to come over more often and visit Mom and Shen Liangchuan.”

“Ok.” Being an exceptionally sensitive and perceptive girl, Xia Nuannuan asked, “Did something happen?”

“Nah… The issue has been resolved. Oh, and you don’t have to try asking Mei Feng anymore.”

“Ok.” Xia Nuannuan looked at her cell phone and ventured to ask, “Lian Lian, you don’t seem to be in the right frame of mind. What’s wrong?”

“Nothing. It must be the cold I caught a few days ago. It’s nothing. I won’t get in the way of you two lovebirds. I’m hanging up!”

Before Xia Nuannuan could say another word, Qiao Lian had hung up.

Xia Nuannuan stared at the phone in a slight daze.

Could it be that something had happened to Shen Liangchuan?

At this thought, she quickly picked up her cell phone again, intending to dial.

However, before she could even do that, she heard the sound of a car pulling up on the driveway.

Shen Zihao and Shen Xiu were home.

She quickly stood up. Just as she was making her way downstairs, Shen Zihao and Shen Xiu entered the house.

Mei Feng approached Shen Xiu, helped him with his briefcase and then looked at Shen Zihao. “How has work been since you’ve started?”

Shen Zihao twitched his lips and said, “Not much about it. Everything is too easy. How could I possibly not do it well?”

He walked towards Xia Nuannuan.

Xia Nuannuan said to him at once, “I’m not sure if something has happened to Big Brother or Mom. Qiao Lian just called and she didn’t sound quite right.”

Shen Zihao paused.

She continued, “Why don’t you go over and have a look?”

At these words, Shen Xiu said icily, “What’s there to see? That dishonorable son Shen Liangchuan broke his leg in an accident! What’s the big deal?”

Both Xia Nuannuan and Shen Zihao were stunned to hear this.

Broke his leg in an accident and it was no big deal?

Shen Zihao immediately put on the jacket that he had just taken off and said, “I’ll go take a look.”

Shen Xiu said, “I’ve already said there is no need to go.”

Shen Zihao hesitated for a moment.

Mei Feng added, “It’s late and they must be resting. You’ve been working all day, Zihao. You must be tired too.”

Shen Zihao took off his jacket again.

Seeing that the two had talked Shen Zihao out of it, Xia Nuannuan started to get anxious, but she knew she could not make a big deal out of it. She said, “Big Brother should be alright. It is just that I wonder if Mom’s heart can take it.”

The moment she said that, Shen Zihao froze. Ignoring Mei Feng and Shen Xiu’s advice, he put his jacket on again and left the house in a hurry.
