Shen Liangchuan froze upon hearing what the security officer said.
Without another word, he stepped on the accelerator and sped towards the villa!
–
After Shen Liangchuan had left, Qiao Lian had been unable to fall asleep.
Clutching to her blanket, she tossed and turned in bed.
All this because of a first love. Song Yuanxi had been boldly creating so much havoc.
For the same reason now, Shen Liangchuan was not able to completely ignore Song Yuanxi, and had had to be interrupted a second time on the same night.
To say the least, it was annoying.
She tossed yet again and was about to try sleeping face down, when suddenly the sound of a car engine approaching the house.
Qiao Lian was surprised.
Had Shen Liangchuan returned so soon after leaving?
Since she was awake, she got up, put on an overcoat and went downstairs.
Then, she saw the front door swing open.
She asked as she stepped closer to have a look, “Have you found Song Yuanxi—”
Before she could finish her sentence, her pupils immediately shrank as she saw the person who had appeared before her.
“Song Yuanxi?!”
Qiao Lian was completely taken by surprise.
Correct, the person standing at the door was not Shen Liangchuan, but Song Yuanxi, still in her hospital gown.
Blood was trickling down her leg as she stood there, trying to steady herself.
She wasn’t wearing a jacket and was shivering from the cold.
Her face was pale and she looked sick, but her eyes had a frightening and dangerous glint to them.
Qiao Lian frowned. “Why are you here? Don’t you know that Shen Liangchuan and the rest of them are desperately looking for you?!”
She hurriedly turned around and picked up the telephone to dial Shen Liangchuan’s number, to inform him.
However, the moment she did this, an icy hand reached out to disconnect the line.
She looked up sharply and saw Song Yuanxi standing in front of her.
Qiao Lian frowned with surprise. “What are you doing?”
Song Yuanxi laughed and said, “What am I doing? What am I not doing… I’m the loser. Of course, I’m here to plead with you!”
Qiao Lian looked displeased. “I don’t think we have much to talk about. Please get out!”
Song Yuanxi reached out to grab Qiao Lian’s arm. “Qiao Lian, you’re the only person left who can talk to Brother Liangchuan on my behalf, so that he won’t send me away!”
Qiao Lian found this request a joke. “Why would I help you plead”?
Song Yuanxi narrowed her eyes and said, “If you help me stay, I can cast aside all my prejudices against you.”
Then, she suddenly pursed her lips. “I don’t want to leave. I don’t want to go abroad. Qiao Lian, please, I beg of you.”
Qiao Lian took a step backward to free herself from Song Yuanxi’s grip.
Biting her lip, she glared at Song Yuanxi and added, “Song Yuanxi, don’t you feel this is really funny? If I help you stay, you’ll put aside your bias… I’ve said this before. The person who owes your sister is Shen Liangchuan. I don’t owe her anything! Their past has got nothing to do with me!”
Looking agitated, Song Yuanxi retorted, “Who says it has nothing to do with you? If it weren’t for you—”
Before she could continue, the front door was flung open!
Shen Liangchuan immediately strode in, bringing the chill of the night air into the room.
When he saw the two of them, he froze and said, “Xiao Qiao, be careful!”
Song Yuanxi turned to look at Shen Liangchuan, her eyes glazed as she revealed the fruit knife she was carrying in her hand, hidden in the sleeves of the hospital gown. In a flash, she raised the shiny blade and struck in Qiao Lian’s direction.
Upon hearing Shen Liangchuan’s warning, Qiao Lian tried to dodge it, but as Song Yuanxi’s attack came quickly and unexpectedly, it was too late to move away.
