Chapter 745
Chapter 745: Xiao Qiao, We Will Be Fine (4)
Ran away?
Coldn’t find her?
Qiao Lian widened her eyes.
Honestly speaking, at this moment, she didn’t hate the girl anymore.
At the bottom of all these things, there must have been some sort of misunderstanding.
She had sincerely been hoping that Shen Liangchuan would be able to find Song Yuanxi and bring her back.
But now…
Looking worried, he said with a frown, “It’s New Year’s Eve tonight and she’s a girl running around alone. It’s chaotic out there…”
At this point, he paused briefly and hung his head, “But she’s not a young girl anymore. She’s grown up.”
Song Yuanxi must have felt that she no longer wanted to come back home, to have made the decision to run away.
She could no longer face Shen Liangchuan and, even more so, Qiao Lian.
Actually, running away was some sort of solution to the situation.
Perhaps there was an opportunity to start anew?
Thinking of this, Shen Liangchuan felt slightly better. He picked up his cell phone and called Song Cheng. “Get a few people to continue the search. If you find her, don’t alert her. As long as she gets her life on track, our people can let her be.”
Song Cheng reply came through the line, “Yes.”
After hanging up, Shen Liangchuan put aside his worries and looked at Qiao Lian. “You’re back early?”
Qiao Lian told him what happened in the private room after he left.
She was all worked up again. “I overheard them because I was on the air conditioner compressor. I didn’t record the conversation. Who would have thought she’d come up with such a sneaky excuse?!”
Shen Liangchuan frowned and said, “The way Mei Feng works is quite watertight. Otherwise, how do you think she could have kept Zihao twirled around her little finger for so many years? She must have been prepared to answer all sorts of questions around her visit to the rehab home, she would never leave a weak spot around that can be used against her.”
He narrowed his eyes and continued, “Furthermore, she would never have trusted Yuanxi.”
That’s right, because she was aware that Song Yuanxi had been brought up by Xia Yehua and was close to them.
Hence, even if Mei Feng had used Song Yuanxi for her means, would she have left any proof around that could damage her?
Without proof, Mei Feng could pass anything off as the truth.
Qiao Lian frowned and said, “Is Mei Feng really that clever?”
As she said this, loud and sharp crackling sounds came from outside.
Fire crackers weren’t permitted anywhere within the Fifth Ring Road in Beijing normally.
But every year, this was the only time that it was allowed.
Her words were interrupted and they walked over to the balcony.
Outside, fireworks and firecrackers sounded everywhere.
It was colorful and vibrant.
The skies were lit with exploding colored lights that expanded into all shapes and sizes. It was beautiful.
Then, they heard the clock in the house chime. Dong! Dong!
It chimed twelve times.
At the same time, the sound of crackers intensified outside.
It was as though by appointment, the whole of Beijing blossomed all at once.
Standing on the balcony, looking at the city, it was a magnificent scene.
Qiao Lian craned her neck to watch and, as she did so, she felt Shen Liangchuan embrace her.
At once, his scent filled her nostrils.
He held her from behind, resting his chin on her shoulder. When he spoke, his warm breath tickled her ears.
He said, “Xiao Qiao, this is our first time beginning a new year together.”
For some reason, when she heard this, she felt a little emotional.
She nodded.
But it was because of some sort of misunderstanding that she did not understand, even now, that this moment had been delayed for eight long years.
As these thoughts came to her mind, she heard him whisper in her ear:
“Xiao Qiao, we will be fine.”
