Chapter 1197: Goodbye, Second Brother (17)
Things in Suzhou ca to the end of a chapter for now.
When the doctor finally announced that Qiao Lian was well enough to fly, Shen Liangchuan imdiately booked the flight tickets to return to Beijing.
Qiao Lian did not see Lu Nanze after the funeral.
But Shen Liangchuan knew that she was following the news on him.
For example, there were so problems within the Lu Family Corporation. Dad Lu’s death had ultimately impacted the board of directors and the company shares had fallen by a significant 20 percent.
After this, so other troubles surfaced.
For example, Dad Lu had announced the marriage of Lu Nanze and Qiao Yiyi before he died.
However, Qiao Yiyi had been taken away by the police and imdiately sentenced to death.
But because she was pregnant, they had to delay execution until after she had delivered the baby. However according to the Chinese law, if she showed good behavior during this ti, then her death sentence could be deferred indefinitely. Still, she would spend the best years of her life in jail.
In this case, Lu Nanze was facing the threat of calling off the marriage. If the chairman remained a bachelor, people would inevitably start wondering if he had trouble conceiving or if there was sothing unusual about his sexual orientation.
All sorts of talks abound.
If Lu Nanze couldn’t give the public a proper explanation for his marriage with Qiao Yiyi, then the Lu family’s company shares would be affected.
Hence, Shen Liangchuan kept hearing Qiao Lian incessantly talk about it, “I wonder if Lu Nanze is going to get past this easily. Shen Liangchuan, what do you say he should do?”
Shen Liangchuan airily made so sarcastic remarks, “Of course he should marry Qiao Yiyi and take the pressure off the company.”
Qiao Lian retorted, “You’re talking nonsense again. Qiao Yiyi is in jail. How is he going to marry her?”
Shen Liangchuan replied, “He could still do it. And once he marries her, he’ll no longer have to worry about her all the ti.”
On top of that, his wife wouldn’t have to worry about him every day!
Qiao Lian opened her mouth to say sothing but before she could speak another word, Shen Liangchuan quickly interrupted, “It’s Mom’s birthday tomorrow. Let’s go ho and celebrate her birthday with her.”
Xia Yehua had left Suzhou two days ago.
Upon hearing this, Qiao Lian was distracted at once and said, “What are we going to get Mom as a birthday present? Why didn’t you remind earlier? I could have been better prepared! What am I going to do now! Ahhhh! It’s too cliche to give jewellery. What will we give her? Giving presents is a big headache for .”
When Shen Liangchuan heard this, he imdiately looked at Qiao Lian’s stomach and said, “Actually, we’ve already prepared our present.”
Qiao Lian looked down in surprise.
Shen Liangchuan said, “Now that the pregnancy is stable, I suppose we can tell Mom.”
A look of realization flashed across Qiao Lian’s face and she exclaid, “So that was why before this you didn’t want to tell Mom I was pregnant?”
Shen Liangchuan nodded.
Qiao Lian broke out into a broad smile.
They imdiately started packing and soon afterwards left the Qiao family villa.
Before leaving, Senior Auntie Zhang took their hands reluctantly and said, “My girl, you have to co back to see whenever you have ti.”
Qiao Lian nodded ruefully.
After they got off the flight, the first thing Qiao Lian noticed was the dryness and smog of Beijing. They got into Shen Zihao’s car and headed ho. But upon arriving in the house, they realized... Shen Xiu was there as well.
