âShen Liangchuan has confirmed that the one who leaked the information was our housekeeper Wang Lan . I set the picture that you sent me as my screensaver . She secretly took a picture of the screensaver and shared it . âQiao Lian widened her eyes in disbelief . âWang Lan? Are you sure? She looks so honestâŠâ
âYou can never tell . I didnât think itâd be her either . â Xia Yehua said as she sighed, âWang Lan has been with our household for five to six years . â
Qiao Lian quickly comforted Xia Yehua, âNo matter what, the truth is out . â
Xia Yehua shook her head . âWeâve found who leaked the picture but, since Shen Xiu accused you, we are unable to find solid evidence . The person behind all this may not be so simple⊠that Mei FengâŠâ
Her eyes shone sharply as she said, âIndeed, sheâs not simple . â
Qiao Lian cast her gaze downward and kept her silence .
How could she be a simple woman?She had manipulated Shen Zihao to the point that he wouldnât even acknowledge his own mother now .
Except the other matter that Xia Yehua had mentioned .
Qiao Lian laughed bitterly . Would even a big fight resolve the differences between Shen Liangchuan and her?
The next day was the weekend and Qiao Lian did not have to work .
At around ten in the morning, she received a call from Shi Nianyao . âIâve done some research . It is a big coincidence that Li Rui is in Beijing right now . Iâll send you his address in a moment . â
It wasnât really a difficult task to get hold of a famous personâs address . Shi Nianyao had only had to ask Mo Xicheng in order to get the information . Qiao Lian nodded and said, âGood job, thanks . â
The address came in through WeChat the moment she hung up .
Immediately, Qiao Lian got out of bed and washed up . Then she left the house and headed off to look for Li Rui .
She wasnât seeking forgiveness from Li Rui, or even Shen Liangchuan . All she wanted was simply to give a sincere apology for her misdeed in the past .
However, she could not have known that someone had gotten ahead of her .
In the elegant environment of a small villa . The middle-aged Li Rui had not lost any of the good looks from his youth . He looked at Shen Liangchuan and, smiling quite refinedly, he poured the young man a cup of tea . âThe great Best Actor . What brings you here today?â
Shen Liangchuan glanced at him with pursed lips and cast his gaze downward . âTeacher Li, Iâm here today to tell you something . â
In the entertainment industry, most people of a certain seniority would be addressed as âTeacher . â
But it was only Li Rui who Shen Liangchuan would sincerely and whole-heartedly address as âTeacher . â
Li Rui laughed . âLook at that deep resentment in your eyes . What is it thatâs causing you so much grief?â
Shen Liangchuan looked up slowly . âAfter all these years, Iâve found the informant who reported your affair . â
Li Rui paused for a moment .
Shen Liangchuan took a deep breath and stood up . He made a deep bow before Li Rui . âTeacher Li, Iâm very sorry . The informant⊠is my wife . â
Li Rui was stunned . âSuch a coincidence?â
Shen Liangchuan nodded with a determined his expression . âI once made a vow to search for this paparazzi and ensure that he or she would have no future in the industry . But nowâŠâ
At this point, his expression clouded over with exasperation and he had a look of resignation . âI fear that I can no longer keep to my word . â
âTeacher Li, if you are still grieving, please direct your anger at me . I stand in her place to take the blame and I will take responsibility for the outcome . â
His words were firm and unwavering in his determination to protect her; but they also carried the shame and guilt he felt towards the matter .
He looked down at the ground . Between Li Rui and Qiao Lian, he had ultimately chosen her .
