Song Yuanxi lowered her head, as though she was a child who had done something wrong.
After a while, it was Xia Yehua who broke the awkward silence, “Nothing’s wrong. Why are you back home so early today?”
Shen Liangchuan studied their faces and replied, “Erm. Because you are not well.”
Xia Yehua smiled immediately. “It seems like I should fall sick occasionally so that all of you will be around me. It would be good if I could have my children and grandchildren surrounding me!”
When she finished speaking, Shen Liangchuan’s gaze drifted to Qiao Lian.
Xia Yehua had changed the subject, so she turned to look at Qiao Lian. “Xiao Qiao, you don’t have to worry about other issues right now. The most important thing for you to do now is to give me a grandchild as soon as possible.”
Qiao Lian pursed her lips. Although she felt slightly bitter, she still nodded her head obediently when she thought of Xia Yehua’s condition.
Then, they had dinner together with Xia Yehua.
Song Yuanxi behaved the same way as usual. She was as silent as the grave.
After they had their dinner, Qiao Lian and Shen Liangchuan went home together.
Enroute, Shen Liangchuan enquired, “What happened today?”
What had happened?
Qiao Lian looked at him.
She really had the urge to complain about it.
However, if she told him that Song Yuanxi was suspicious of her and had said those words, which side would he take?
As she recalled Xia Yehua’s attitude to her, Qiao Lian lowered her gaze.
He would probably react the same way as Xia Yehua. Although he would know that Song Yuanxi was in the wrong, he would probably just give her a warning, as she was part of his family.
Qiao Lian took a deep breath and shook her head. “Not much. Oh yes, by the way, what have you found out today?”
Shen Liangchuan pursed his lips tightly when he saw that she was changing the subject. He then said, “At the moment, nothing.”
Qiao Lian nodded.
The two of them both had plenty on their minds. When they reached the villa, Qiao Lian entered the master bedroom.
She hadn’t had much contact with Song Yuanxi, so obviously she couldn’t expect her to believe her.
But it still affected her.
Shen Liangchuan saw that she was staring at her cell phone in a daze. He could tell that something was bothering her.
As he recalled what had happened earlier on, he narrowed his eyes, turned around and picked up his phone. Then he walked out of the room and entered the study next to it.
It was warm in the study.
The study was a quiet room. He walked over to the balcony and dialed a number on his cellphone. “Auntie Li, what happened to my wife over there today?”
Auntie Li, on the other end of the line, was slightly stunned. She had no option but relate the incident honestly.
When it came to work, Auntie Li was usually impartial. Even if it meant telling an incident, she would not take sides.
Shen Liangchuan’s facial expression remained calm. His dark eyes narrowed slightly when he heard that Song Yuanxi had been suspicious of Qiao Lian.
At the end, Auntie Li said slowly, “Sir, Ms. Song acted that way out of a good heart. I saw that her crying anxiously today. Even after both of you left, she cried once again in front of your mother, saying that she knew she had done wrong.”
Even though she might have realized her mistake, she shouldn’t have said those words and hurt others.
Shen Liangchuan slightly raised the corners of his lips. He then replied, “Ok, I know now.”
After hanging up, he sat by his desk and his gaze landed on his cell phone.
His fingers were laying on the armrest and he was randomly tapping them.
After a while, he picked up his cell phone and gave a call to Song Cheng. “Song Yuanxi’s filming crew will be starting to film very soon?”
Song Cheng replied, “Yes, they should be entering the film set in the next two days.”
