As she finished speaking, Qiao Lian looked at her, astonished.
She watched Xia Yehua say delightedly, “I know a lot about him!”
An unconvinced Xiao Ye asked, “Why?”
Xia Yehua blinked and said, “Because… I’m close friends with his mother!”
Aunt Xia was close friends with her mother-in-law? Since they all lived in the same neighborhood… this was definitely possible.
Qiao Lian momentarily cupped a hand over her mouth.
Oh. dear, if Aunt Xia told Shen Liangchuan’s mother about the insults she had thrown at her, wouldn’t she be in big trouble?
As she was speculating wildly, Xiao Ye was already excitedly grabbing her arm and saying, “Auntie, you must save our Ms. Qiao!”
A shocked Xia Yehua immediately asked, “What happened to Xiao Qiao?”
A crying Xiao Ye said affectionately, with snot and tears running down her face, “You probably don’t know this, but ever since she joined our news agency, our Ms. Qiao had conscientiously tried to uncover scoops with all of her ability. She’s doing a great job-”
The edges of Qiao Lian’s mouth twitched. She grabbed Xiao Ye and said, “Enough, speak properly!”
Xiao Ye immediately regained her composure and said, “I’m just telling Aunt Xia about the immense difficulty you’re currently facing, to prevent her from giving us too little information.”
Qiao Lian: …
Xia Yehua had already anxiously grabbed Xiao Ye and said, “And then what?”
“Actually, our chief editor has a niece called Su Meimei. She plans to compete with Ms. Qiao for the annual Best Employee award, so she has been pressuring our Ms. Qiao, saying that if she can’t discover Best Actor Shen’s scandals, she will be fired from the agency!”
Xia Yehua immediately got angry and said, “What kind of person is this? Who doesn’t know that Shen Liangchuan’s surroundings are tightly guarded, so much so that even a fly can’t fly inside? If he didn’t want me to know something, I could never hope to figure it out, let alone the both of you. She’s purposely making things difficult for you! My dear Xiao Qiao, why are you so pitiful? Don’t worry, I will definitely give you a huge scoop.”
Xiao Ye immediately got excited, and then heard Xia Yehua say, “What type of scoop would be considered a huge one?”
Xiao Ye: …
“When he was young, because he was so beautiful, I- I mean, his mother asked him to wear a beautiful dress. Does this count?”
Qiao Lian: …!
She thought about a young Best Actor Shen wearing a dress, a cold expression on his face.
“Pfff!”, Qiao Lian and Xiao Ye laughed irresistibly.
However, they could not possibly write such a scoop as it would ruin his reputation too much.
Qiao Lian hurriedly shook her head and said, “That doesn’t count.”
“Then… When he went to school, his parents used to get called to the school every day. Does this count?”
A surprised Xiao Ye asked, “Isn’t Best Actor Shen quite proficient at studying? Someone uncovered his report card before.”
Xia Yehua immediately waved her hand and said, “None of you know this, but even though he was good at studying, he played truant almost every day.”
“Where did he go?”
Xia Yehua immediately laughed loudly, saying, “To play!”
Qiao Lian also got curious and asked, “Then how did he still have the best scores in the exams?”
Xia Yehua proudly said, “Because he was smart!”
Qiao Lian said, “Auntie, why do you have an expression of pride on your face?”
Xiao Ye stood to the side, shaking her head and said, “This one doesn’t count, because such a small scoop would only improve the brilliant image of Prince Charming. We need a huge scoop, such as… Mrs. Shen’s identity!”
Xia Yehua immediately hesitated. A conflicted Xia Yehua said, “Mrs. Shen… I- I am also not sure as to who she actually is.”
Of course she didn’t know who she was, she had never met her!
Xiao Ye’s expression turned awkward. Xia Yehua looked at Qiao Lian and thought about how Xiao Qiao was being bullied by the chief editor at her news agency. She suddenly said without hesitation, “Don’t worry, I will tell you who Mrs. Shen is by the end of tomorrow!”
