Chapter 1189
Chapter 1189: Goodbye, Second Brother (9)
Qiao Yiyi had now rubbed her the wrong way.
Like an enraged bull, or a lion in the wrong mood.
Qiao Lian’s vicious expression frightened Qiao Yiyi so much that the latter quickly retreated a step, not daring to pursue the topic. She looked at Qiao Lian in a daze and muttered, “What- what do you want? Are- are you afraid that I will tell everyone about your parents?
Qiao Lian narrowed her eyes at Qiao Yiyi’s reaction and replied with determination, “Qiao Yiyi, let me tell you one thing, the innocent will always be innocent! Even if I have no way to prove it to the world, I’ve never been afraid to tell others who my parents were. I am proud of them. Don’t impose your own filthy perspectives on others! You can abandon your own father for the sake of luxury and money, but I would never have done that.”
Qiao Yiyi was infuriated and retorted, “Qiao Lian, don’t try to use your sharp tongue here. Even if you’re not afraid, haven’t you spared a thought for Shen Liangchuan? He’s in an awkward position, he’s a Best Actor and gets a lot of attention. If people keep saying that his wife is the daughter of scammers, what do you think he’ll do?”
What would he do?
Qiao Lian turned around and looked at Shen Liangchuan.
But he had already started saying, “Don’t worry too much about what goes on between my wife and me. We are husband and wife, we are one.”
After speaking, he reached out and put his arm around Qiao Lian, saying, “Don’t lower yourself to her level and join the dogfight. Do you bite a dog back just because it has bitten you? Let’s go.”
Qiao Lian then realized that Qiao Yiyi had angered her.
At that moment, the worst thing she could do to her own health was to get too emotional.
She had to calm herself down as soon as possible.
Hence, she gave Qiao Yiyi an icy look, turned around and left with Shen Liangchuan.
Qiao Yiyi stood on the spot and looked at the two departing figures.
Her gaze fell on Shen Liangchuan’s arm.
One of his arms was supporting Qiao Lian and the other was lightly wrapped around her waist from the back, protecting her in his embrace.
It was as though he was caring for some rare treasure. It was a small gesture that showed much affection and love.
Qiao Yiyi bit her lip.
Suddenly, she felt a hatred that came from envy and jealousy.
In the past, she had been quite sure that, between them, Qiao Lian was the one who had pestered him endlessly, but now it looked like… Shen Liangchuan was truly good to her.
And compared to her, they were worlds apart.
Biting her lip still, she suddenly placed her palm on her cheek and walked into Lu Nanze’s ward.
The classy VIP room was indeed well sound-proofed. Lu Nanze had not heard the exchange that had just gone on.
He was now sitting on his bed, staring blankly into the distance.
He looked at the blue skies outside the window as though trying to see past the thick layer of clouds.
He did not react when Qiao Yiyi came into the room, but continued staring with a distant look in his eyes.
There was a sense of emptiness in him, of deep dejection.
Qiao Yiyi cleared her throat once. He did not react still.
She walked purposefully to the window and stood in front of him, calling him, “Second Brother.”
Deliberately, she showed him her profile.
His gaze finally fell on her and saw the distinct red mark of a slap. He paused and asked, “She slapped you?”
