After a pause, Qiao Lian said, “Please tell me.”
The captain looked troubled for a moment and then finally said, “Did you know that Soul Fighter liked you?”
Qiao Lian was stunned and said with a shocked expression, “What?”
Soul Fighter liked her?
Surely, the captain was joking.
But… he looked serious. And Soul Fighter was dead. The captain wouldn’t make a joke about a dead person surely. She stared at him, stupefied.
Soul Fighter liked her?
That guy who had loved to berate her and oppose her, even when later on she got better than him at gaming… that same guy liked her?
The captain scratched his head and continued, “Actually, at that time, many guys in the team liked you.”
She was good at gaming and, even though they had never seen her picture, from her voice they could tell she was a lively and adorable girl.
She had the willfulness and arrogance of a young girl, but she had never known that, at that time, she had been so well-liked in the team.
Most of the guys in the competitive team had liked her.
And right from the start, they liked to have her tag along them in the games.
But this girl was too good and quickly learnt all the techniques. It was as though she was made for gaming and slowly, she overtook all of them. Eventually, the only person left who could be on par with Zi Chuan was her.
Even Soul Fighter had been left behind.
A person like this was a natural attention grabber, she had a gift from the heavens and the envy of everyone.
What the captain had not said was that he also had once liked her, that she had once been his dream girl.
But there was no need to mention these things now.
–
As she left the cemetery, Qiao Lian was in a state of confusion.
Soul Fighter had liked her. Could this have been the cause of all the misunderstandings that started years ago?
She hung her head as this thought came to her mind. Then she bit her lip.
The matter seemed to have just gotten more convoluted.
Qiao Lian felt a splitting headache coming up and she sighed. Why was it so difficult to uncover the truth about eight years ago?
Could it be that Song Yuanxi was the only other person besides Shen Liangchuan who knew what happened back then?
But ever since the girl had left the Shen family villa, she had been out of contact.
She seemed to have evaporated and was never seen again.
Qiao Lian hung her head at this point. What else could she do? Who else could help her understand the situation?
Then she suddenly thought of something.
Once, when they were having dinner with Xia Nuannuan’s parents, it seemed like Mei Feng and Song Yuanxi had something going on between them.
Mei Feng!
Mei Feng knew what had happened eight years ago.
Her eyes lit up at this thought and she picked up her cell phone at once. She dialed Xia Nuannuan’s number.
However, the phone rang for a long time and no one picked up.
Qiao Lian paused for a moment and tried dialing once more.
–
The cell phone lying on the red bed sheet was vibrating, but there was no one in the brightly lit room.
Xia Nuannuan was in the living room, doing household chores under the direction of Mei Feng.
Shen Zihao had gone to the office today, to officially familiarize himself with the Shen Family Corporation.
The only masters at home now were Mei Feng and Xia Nuannuan.
Pointing at the unwashed clothes in the laundry basket, Mei Feng said to Xia Nuannuan, “Nuannuan, these are all Zihao’s clothes and they can’t be machine-washed. In the past, before he married you, I washed them. Now this should be your job.”
Handwash?
Shen Zihao liked cleanliness and basically used two sets of clothes a day. Besides, it was now winter.
Apart from the woolen clothing, there were seven coats. How long was it going to take to handwash these?
