It had been eight years.
Her life had been hard and she had acted cautiously with every step that she had taken.
Taking Qiao Yi along with her, she had single-handedly and tirelessly worked with determination. She even had the intention to clear her parents’ names.
However, never before had someone told her this.
Willing to shoulder these burdens with her.
It was as though at this moment, Shen Liangchuan was giving her a sense of comfort and warmth after having walked alone by herself in the darkness for the longest time.
Qiao Lian looked at that Shen Liangchuan.
Then she hurriedly nodded her head.
When they both finally calmed down, Song Cheng, who had been as quiet as air, finally spoke, “You both, after that tender and affectionate moment, I was going to start crying. Brother Shen, you have offended the investor. How are you going to continue filming this movie?”
In this day and age, the investor called the shots and had the absolute right to speak up.
Shen Liangchuan’s current identity was just that of a famous actor. How would he be able to compete with him?
One short sentence and suddenly the entire atmosphere in the car turned heavy with gloom.
After a brief pause, Shen Liangchuan finally spoke, “Different situations call for different actions. Things that haven’t happened yet, we won’t worry about for now.”
His gaze was firm and determined, which brought along with him a sense of confidence that the average person usually would not have.
Lu Nanze was one of the top tyrants in Jiangnan?
He smiled and figured that no one had ever told Qiao Lian that, once upon a time, he himself had also been one of the top tyrants in Beijing.
Even though he had nothing now, he was never afraid.
The three of them returned to join the filming crew.
First, Shen Liangchuan took Qiao Lian to the hotel where he was staying.
After Song Cheng left, Shen Liangchuan then proceeded to embrace her waist.
He was able to tell that ever since his woman had seen Lu Nanze, she had been unable to ease her worries and had been perpetually frowning.
Shen Liangchuan sighed. He could only gently and bit by bit kiss her face, in an attempt to help her relax.
The estrangement between the two of them seemed to have disappeared in an instant.
It seemed that Qiao Lian had become afraid. When he was kissing her, she suddenly lifted her foot a little, to respond to him…
Passion gradually ignited amidst the gentle flame.
After venting out her worries without restrains, Qiao Lian lay in bed, weak and powerless.
Shen Liangchuan was propping up his head using his hand. His other hand was gently caressing her back.
He was very patient and did not enquire, neither did he force her to explain.
However, Qiao Lian gradually opened up. “When I was a child, the Qiao family was also very influential in Jiangnan. I, Qiao Yiyi, Sun Linan, Lu Nanze and some other prominent children used to play together often. As we were all about the same age, in school we, as tyrants, called the shots. Lu Nanze was the most overbearing one and was known to be the leader among us.”
“Lu Nanze has always been vicious to others. However with our small group, there was always some form of leniency towards us. But then… our Qiao family’s property collapsed in the end. I overheard my dad and mom’s conversation one night before school, as I had seen that the light in my dad’s study was still turned on. I stepped closer and found out that they suspected that it had been the Lu family who had been behind the matter. But they did not have any evidence. The next day, when I came back home after school, our whole house had been engulfed in flames. Dad and mom perished in the fire. Qiao Yi broke his leg while attempting to save them.”
When she finished speaking, Qiao Lian’s eyes were already filled with tears. “I suspect that it was the Lu family who was behind this.”
When Shen Liangchuan heard this, he stretched out his hand to touch her head. With a determined gaze, he said, “We will go look for evidence if there isn’t any.”
Qiao Lian nodded.
At this moment, Shen Liangchuan’s cell phone rang. It was Song Cheng on the other end of the line. “Brother Shen, this is bad!! The investor is saying that he wants a replacement for the male lead, as you left without any reason in the middle of filming!”
