Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Qiao Lian’s posture tensed up as she looked at Shen Xiu in disbelief.
Ever since the photograph had been published in the article, she had had a bad feeling about it.
It was the sa sort of instinct that animals had when sensing danger.
The suspense she had felt all this ti finally culminated in this kind of situation.
The worst had happened.
And she had ultimately beco the scapegoat.
At least now she didn’t have to deal with that dreaded feeling of suspense anymore.
She then turned to look at Xia Yehua lying on the hospital bed.
Frowning, Xia Yehua glanced at Qiao Lian briefly and then her expression turned to anger as she shifted her glance to Shen Xiu.
She did not look as though she believed Shen Xiu’s accusations.
Qiao Lian heaved a sigh of relief and glanced at Shen Liangchuan again.
His reaction was direct and straight-to-the-point. Looking up, he said imdiately, “It’s not possible!”
Shen Xiu laughed derisively. “So far you’re still in denial? This is a joke! Did you think that if you revealed publicly your identity as a mber of the Shen family, you’d be accepted back in the family and inherit part of the Shen family’s assets? Keep dreaming! The both of you will not inherit a single cent of the family’s wealth!”
His vicious words fell harshly.
Even Qiao Lian was angered by these callous remarks, not to ntion Shen Liangchuan.
Her own father had never directed a harsh remark at her in all her life. She did not understand how a father could ever say such things to his own child.
She could only marvel at this man!
Clenching her fists with anger, she was about to speak but Shen Liangchuan beat her to it, “Mr. Shen, if you continue creating trouble here, I’ll have to call the police!”
Shen Xiu frowned on hearing this. “Xia Yehua, both you and Shen Liangchuan are just as bad. Even now, you’re not going to admit it?”
“We’ve done nothing wrong, what is there to admit?” Xia Yehua continued, “Shen Xiu, you have to be responsible for your own words. You’ve accused Qiao Lian for selling information. Where’s your proof?”
Shen Xiu lifted his hand and shook his finger at Xia Yehua. “Fine, fine, you just won’t believe it until you see concrete evidence! The reporter who wrote the article confessed that soone with the surna Qiao sold them the photo. The reporter even sent a text ssage to this person!”
Qiao Lian was quick to clarify, “This is not possible!”
She took her cell phone out of her pocket. “Since yesterday I haven’t received any-”
Before she could finish her sentence, her pupils suddenly shrank.
She saw an unread ssage on her cell phone. It was obvious that the ssage had co in the night before.
Only at this point did she suddenly realize that since the incident had happened she had been anxious and stressed, and hadn’t looked at her cell phone.
So this ssage was...
She clicked on the ssage and saw that it had co from an unknown number:
[Ms. Qiao, I received the docunts. I’ve transferred the money.
Qiao Lian was speechless as she stared at her cell phone screen.
She only felt cold shivers down her spine!
She was certain, as she knew that she was not the one who had leaked the picture. But who could be trying to fra her by sending her that ssage?
As she thought this, her cell phone was suddenly snatched away from her.
She looked up and saw that Shen Liangchuan was now holding the cell phone in his hand, reading the mysterious ssage on the screen.
As he read the ssage, a look of doubt flashed across his face. Then he looked up at her with an expression that was both complex and unfathomable.
She clenched her fists tightly and laughed bitterly inside. This ti, was Shen Liangchuan going to believe that she was innocent?
