Chapter 1148: He Actually Likes Her This Much... (4)
Qiao Lian stared blankly ahead.
A wave of fear and trepidation washed over her, as a chilling thought flashed through her mind.
But the next mont, she started to feel that maybe it was just a wild guess.
When the Qiao family business collapsed, the Qiao family as a whole was impacted. Only her uncle’s family seed untouched.
But then again, she had always been the one who understood Lu Nanze more than anyone else. He would never be this tolerant towards soone he didn’t like.
Qiao Yiyi was a dull person to say the least. That Lu Nanze would put up with her for eight years was a miracle.
Initially, she had thought that Lu Nanze really liked Qiao Yiyi, but now it looked like...
Qiao Lian knitted her brow imdiately. If Qiao Zhigang did indeed have a hand in this matter, then she was not going to let him off.
She sighed deeply at these thoughts. “What do we do now? Ask for the accounts book from Qiao Yiyi?”
The problem was that surely, she wouldn’t hand it over.
Shen Liangchuan continued driving and looking ahead. He said after another pause, “Don’t make any rash moves, in case it alerts anyone. We need to do so detailed planning in this matter.”
He turned to glance at Qiao Lian and then looked straight ahead again. “Don’t panic. Nothing is too difficult. There will be a way.”
Qiao Lian nodded.
Shen Liangchuan’s steady voice reassured her that she wasn’t fighting alone. It gave her a security that she had never known before.
After they returned ho, they pored over the details of what they had to do next.
Four hours later, there was a knock on their front door.
The next second, Xia Yehua burst into the house.
The mont she entered, she ran towards Qiao Lian with her arms up and said like a spoiled child, “Xiao Qiao, I’m overjoyed! Co and let give you a hug!”
Qiao Lian laughed helplessly when she saw Xia Yehua’s reaction. She extended her arms and was about to give Xia Yehua a hug, when suddenly she felt a firm grip on her shoulder. At once, Shen Liangchuan stepped forward and stood himself between the two won. “Mom.”
Xia Yehua waved him off, saying, “Hey, go away. My little Qiao Qiao, I haven’t seen her for the longest ti, hurry up and co over here. Let see if you’ve lost weight?”
Then she turned around and grabbed Qiao Lian. After taking a good look at her, she exclaid in surprise, “Xiao Qiao, shouldn’t you have gotten thinner after leaving us? Why have you put on weight instead?”
Qiao Lian: ...!
Put on weight?
Had she really put on weight?
Distracted at once, Qiao Lian lowered her head and looked at her body. Then she pinched her face a couple of tis and looked at Shen Liangchuan curiously, asking, “Have I put on weight?”
He coughed once and replied, “Not that bad.”
Not that bad.
That ant she really had put on weight.
Sob, sob, sob.
Just as she was sobbing secretly in her heart, Xia Yehua said, “Now you look about right. You were too skinny before. You will need our help with getting so vitamins. Alright, where are we exactly? Was this your ho? Xiao Qiao, aren’t you going to show around and tell where I’ll be sleeping?”
Hearing this, Qiao Lian snapped from her daze. She showed Xia Yehua upstairs and took her to the guest room.
That night, as Qiao Lian and Shen Liangchuan were lying in bed discussing how they should deal with Qiao Yiyi, he suddenly turned towards her and gestured to her to keep silent.
The mont she halted and fell silent, the two of them head light moving feet in the hallway.
Qiao Lian was stunned at once
Could it be that Lu Nanze had planted a spy in the household so as to keep an eye on them?
