“Such a temperamental man.” Gao Lihua mumbled after Qiao Yu left, shutting the door after him. Still, she didn’t dare to say it out aloud. She then threw a dirty look at Shen Donglai on the bed and smirked. “Where was all the attitude you had been giving me when you talked to Qiao Yu?”
Shen Donglai looked at Gao Lihua coldly. “Shut up!” He didn’t look affected by Qiao Yu’s humiliation earlier, but in fact, he was seething with anger.
“Did you just tell me to shut up? I won’t!” Gao Lihua was utterly frustrated herself and Shen Donglai had just turned into her newest target. “You worthless piece of sh*t! All you ever do is sleep around with women and yell at your wife! How could I be so blind? Why did I marry you…”
“Gao Lihua, that’s enough!” Shen Donglai bellowed.
Hearing that, Gao Lihua grabbed the first thing she could find and threw it at her husband.
Outside, Shen Tianlang sighed in resignation when he heard the shouting in the ward. He turned to Qiao Yu with a wry smile. “I’m sorry you have to hear all that.”
Qiao Yu only frowned but didn’t comment.
Seeing his reaction, Shen Tianlang realized that his cousin had nothing good to say about Shen Donglai. He couldn’t help but heave a sigh. “I see that we’re going to be driven apart, Cousin.”
Qiao Yu looked at him and said quietly, “They won’t affect us.”
“Glad to hear that!” Shen Tianlang grinned. “I went to Shengshi to talk to you the other day, but you didn’t see me. Were you with Ke?”
Darting a glance at Shen Tianlang, Qiao Yu frowned. “What are you getting at? If you think that she has put me up for this and stopped me from helping you, then you’re mistaken. There’s no need for her to do that.”
He hadn’t refused to help the Shen family because of something she said and he wouldn’t necessarily be upset if she nagged at him about it. He might be able to get closer to her if she needed something from him.
Shen Tianlang shook his head and before he knew it, he was smiling. He then said to Qiao Yu in a cheerful voice. “I might have my doubts before, but now, I’m convinced that you love her a lot because you trust her.” A businessman’s instinct was to suspect everything. However, Qiao Yu didn’t even blink when Shen Tianlang tried to raise his suspicion. If that wasn’t love, what was?
Qiao Yu glanced at Shen Tianlang, unperturbed. Of course, he trusted her. She was the woman he loved.
“My company needs me. I’m off,” Qiao Yu turned to leave.
“Yu, are you sure you’re going to get married?” Shen Tianlang called after him. He had told Gao Lihua and Shen Donglai that those two were getting married because he tried to stop his parents from bullying Ke for Qiao Yu’s sake. However, it was down to the two of them to make the actual decision.
Qiao Yu paused. Getting married? He shifted his gaze and kept his silence for a moment before giving the answer. “Yes.” He walked away after that.
Watching Qiao Yu from behind, Shen Tianlang smiled. He could never imagine his cousin actually in love with someone, but love struck when one least expected. The guy had fallen for a girl.
However, was Ke really the Ke he had known? The Shen family had been in such a chaotic state that Shen Tianlang was almost sure that Ke was behind it.
What did she want? Had she really fallen out with the Shen family?
Shen Tianlang frowned and looked worried.
Back in the Qiao family house, Xia Ning was reading a script when her phone rang. The look on her face changed when she saw the number on the screen and she picked it up right away. “Wen Yue, where are you?”
