Chapter 525: The Grand Finals! (5)

Qiao Lian’s pupils shrank immediately when she heard this.

Something had gone wrong at the villa again?

She looked at Xia Nuannuan anxiously and said, “Eh… We have to talk another day. Something urgent has come up and I have to leave now.”

Xia Nuannuan nodded and drew out a piece of memo paper. She wrote her contact number on it and gave it to Qiao Lian. “I’m working here now, I’m no longer at the nightclub. Feel free to call me any time.”

However, she did not ask for Qiao Lian’s number.

Those who could afford to come to this rehab home weren’t just rich, they were rich and respectable people.

She only wanted an opportunity to return the favor. There was nothing she wanted from Qiao Lian and would never dream of troubling her.

Her thoughtfulness made Qiao Lian like her all the more.

She was neither servile nor overbearing, her manners were extremely charming.

Qiao Lian reached for the memo and immediately picked up her cell phone to save Xia Nuannuan’s number. Then, she dialed it.

Xia Nuannuan jumped when her cell phone rang.

Qiao Lian explained, “My name’s Qiao Lian. Feel free to call me too if you need anything. After all, we’re friends now!”

Xia Nuannuan broke into a warm and cheerful smile, tender and soft as silk.

Qiao Lian waved goodbye as she left the rehab home. Then she, hailed a cab to head over to the villa.

Along the way, all she could think of were Song Yuanxi’s words.

She had caused the death of… who exactly?

Qiao Lian’s heart slowly sank.

If she had really caused the death of Song Yuanxi’s family member, then it was understandable how Song Yuanxi had treated her. No wonder that after Shen Liangchuan had found out the truth, he had covered up for her and had even told her, “If you want revenge, take it out on me.”

At that time, she had thought that it had nothing to do with her. Of course she had to take it out on Shen Liangchuan.

She was innocent.

But now…

Suddenly, she felt a stinging pain in her heart.

She was beginning to see that all this time, Shen Liangchuan might actually have been carrying a burden on her behalf.

And as for being the cause of someone’s death…

She bit her lip and hung her head.

The only time in her life she had been anywhere close to being involved in anyone’s death was that incident, when her parents’ building had collapsed and 17 workers had died.

Those 17 workers… Her parents had visited each and every one of their families. She didn’t recall Song Yuanxi being related to any of those families.

Now that Song Yuanxi had lost her sanity, there was no way she could find out the truth.

It looked like she could only ask Shen Liangchuan now.

She would wait then. She didn’t believe that he wouldn’t come home!

For the moment, Qiao Lian stowed this whole matter away at the back of her mind.

The cab neared the villa and, before it had even arrived, she could hear a commotion in the background.

Qiao Lian paused for a moment. As she neared the crowd, she saw that a car had pulled up and stopped at the entrance of the clubhouse.

The commotion was coming from inside the villa.

She quickened her footsteps and hurried over. There she saw a middle-aged woman. The woman was twisting Ancestor White Bones’ ear and dragging her out of the villa!

“You little tramp! The Ling Family has taken care of you for so long, and you run away without a word. You think we can’t track you down? Come home with us right now!”

Ancestor White Bones’ expression was stern and serious, but her scrawny body could not withstand the woman’s rough tugging and pushing.

The Godfather, The Deputy Godfather, Lonely Peerless and Su Penghao all wanted to help her, but the moment they went anywhere near her, the middle-aged woman would shout wildly, “What are you doing? You’re harassing me! How can you men be hitting a woman?”

Then, grabbing Ancestor White Bones’ hair, she yanked and dragged her to the car.

Qiao Lian’s expression darkened as she watched this scene unfold.

Without a word, she stepped forward. She grabbed the middle-aged woman and yelled, “Let her go!”
