Qiao Lian was so fully focused on what the loud shirt guy was saying that she did not notice what he had done.
“Brother” yet again.
But this time it wasn’t “Brother Shen”, it was just simply “Brother.” So this man was…
Shen Liangchuan’s expression darkened and he frowned slightly. Before he could speak, Lu Ming excitedly called out behind them, “Hey, Zihao, what a coincidence! What are you doing here?”
As he said this, he casually removed the loud shirt guy’s hand from Qiao Lian’s arm.
As soon as the guy heard Lu Ming’s words, he raised an eyebrow and said unceremoniously, “Why? Now that he’s a small celebrity, you’re sucking up to him? What do you get out of it? Good-for-nothing!”
Lu Ming turned to glance at Shen Liangchuan and saw that, apart from moving Qiao Lian away so that now he was standing in front of her protectively, there was no trace of anger in his expression. Lu Ming then laughed and said, “Zihao, come with me. I have something interesting to show you.”
The loud shirt guy raised an eyebrow and said instead, “Lu Ming, you used to by my brother’s lackey back then and I see that hasn’t changed. What would you have that’s so interesting? But on the other hand, I haven’t seen my brother in what? Three or four years? Ha…”
As he said this, he took a step forward as though he was extremely fond of his brother. However, Qiao Lian could sense a vicious undercurrent in his expression. “Brother, how’s our mother?”
Our mother.
Bingo!
The man standing before them was indeed Shen Liangchuan’s brother!
On hearing this, Shen Liangchuan replied deliberately and slowly, “She’s well.”
“Well?” Shen Zihao rubbed his chin for a moment. “That’s good then, I’ll visit her some day.”
After he had said this, his gaze shifted back to Qiao Lian again. “Hey, let’s talk about other things. Why, Brother, are you interested in this girl too? She’s quite a stunner.”
Then he raised his hand with the intention of touching Qiao Lian’s face.
However, Shen Liangchuan reached out to grip his hand before he could do that.
Shen Zihao raised his eyebrow. “Why? It’s only a girl. You’re not letting me have her?”
Shen Liangchuan lowered his gaze and said with a hint of tolerance, “Stop fooling around.”
“Fooling around? Why is liking a girl considered fooling around? Only you can like her and I cannot? What sort of logic is that?”
Shen Zihao chortled coldly and demanded, “Brother, this woman, are you letting me have her?”
Shen Liangchuan scowled and replied, “Shen. Zi. Hao!”
The warning in his tone was clear.
Shen Zihao’s eyes flashed and he stubbornly stuck out his chin. “What? Eight years ago you took mother away from me. And now I’m asking for a girl, that’s a fair compensation.”
As he said these words, he ignored all reasoning and reached out once more to touch Qiao Lian.
Qiao Lian was already behind Shen Liangchuan, but seeing Shen Zihao’s behaviour, she recoiled and took a step back.
Before Shen Zihao’s hand could make contact with Qiao Lian, Shen Liangchuan had grabbed him by his shirt collar.
He gave Shen Zjhao a forceful push that sent the man stumbling a few steps back before he could steady himself again.
Shen Liangchuan sneered, “It was you who didn’t want to go with mother eight years ago. Why do you even bring it up now?”
Shen Zihao mockingly laughed and ignored Shen Liangchuan. He looked straight at Qiao Lian. “Hey, beautiful, do you know who I am?”
Without waiting for Qiao Lian to speak, he continued, “This man you’re with is the big shame of the Shen family. He’s worth nothing, just an actor. But I, I am the true heir of the Shen family!”
