Xia Yehua made fun of her, saying, âLook at your beautiful legs . You should wear tight pants, they would look good . Come, let me have a look at your closet . âAs she said this, she turned around to open the closet door .
While she looked through Qiao Lianâs casual clothes, she shook her head and said, âA girl should have pretty dresses . Weâll go shopping one of these days, Iâll buy you some!â
Then, she glanced at Qiao Lianâs bag and continued, âThis bag⌠Weâll get Liangchuan to buy you a bag . He has money . Not too long ago, Yuanxi and I bought two bags worth 200 000 each and we charged it to his card . He didnât even say anything . Youâre his wife and you need to learn how to spend his money boldly!â
Qiao Lian felt a little embarrassed by Xia Yehuaâs comments .
Was that her mother-in-law speaking?
Would a mother do this to her own son?Not only had she and Song Yuanxi spent his money, now she was encouraging Qiao Lian to spend his money .
As she had these thoughts, Qiao Lian suddenly froze and looked up . âMom, you said⌠Yuanxiâs 200 000 bag was paid for by Shen Liangchuan?â
Surprised by the question, Xia Yehua replied, âThatâs right . â
Qiao Lian looked at her with an expression of disbelief . âSo did Shen Liangchuan know about it?â
Xia Yehua laughed . âOf course he did . I even called him as we were making the purchase!â
Seeing that Qiao Lian looked rather out-of-sorts, she anxiously explained, âYuanxi has just graduated and is about to step into the entertainment industry . You know how things are in that world⌠people notice the bags you carry . Normally she isnât that extravagantâŚâ
Qiao Lian did not hear a word of Xia Yehuaâs explanation . She was trying to recall something when Shen Liangchuanâs words flashed through her mindâŚ
âShe bought a bag recently that cost her 200 000 . â
She had spent 200 000, but the money was his .
So why had he said this in a way that misled her and let Song Yuanxi off the hook?
Then she realized⌠in the beginning, he had appeared quite honest, saying that before he had given her the birth control drug, he had had it checked by a specialist . However, later he had sang a different tune, saying that there was something wrong with the drug formula .
These episodes came to her one by one, now causing a freezing chill to run down her spine .
She took deep breaths as she widened her eyes in horror . She had thought she knew him, but now he suddenly felt distant .
This was like a replay of what had happened eight years agoâŚ
When her parents had perished in the fire, Xiao Yiâs leg got injured and he needed an operation . The so-called relatives smiled with sympathy, but behind her back, they were scheming⌠and she felt the same way now .
She couldnât help but tremble .
Terror, betrayal, anger and sorrow came to her all at once . She no longer knew where she stood in this world .
âXiao Qiao⌠Xiao Qiao? Whatâs wrong?â Xia Yehuaâs voice gradually pulled her back from the shadows of the past .
She snapped back to the present . Xia Yehua was gripping her hand and looking at her anxiously .
Qiao Lianâs mind was a complete blank, but she managed to squeeze a weak smile . She replied, âMom, Iâm fine . â
Xia Yehua frowned deeply . âAre you really ok?â
Then she knitted her brows as though suddenly remembering something . She put on her trousers and headed to the door . âMom, Iâm going out for a short while . â
She had few doubts about where Shen Liangchuan had just gone to .
She was quite sure he had gone to look for Song Yuanxi!
