Chapter 424: Was It Her?! (4)
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Xia Yehua thought that if Qiao Lian was willing to give Song Yuanxi a little leeway so that they could all resolve the awkward situation, it would probably bring harmony back to the household.
Qiao Lian smiled as she took over the lunchbox from Auntie Li, and then went on her way.
She was not completely sure of what she hoped to achieve with this, but she knew that she wanted to see Song Yuanxi.
She wanted to ask Song Yuanxi directly about her involvement in the matter.
Qiao Lian had always had a straightforward character and hated underhanded means.
There was nothing like being upfront and direct.
Xia Yehua had her own personal chauffeur, who was now given the task of sending Qiao Lian to her destination.
It was six in the evening and the skies were darkening.
The icy wind was whistling as the car drove along, but its interior was cozy with the heating on.
Qiao Lian turned to look at the night view of Beijing.
After a while, she picked up her cell phone and called Shen Liangchuan again.
He picked up after a number of rings. It sounded like he was driving.
Qiao Lian asked, “Did you manage to track down the bank transactions?”
After a pause, Shen Liangchuan calmly said, “Yes.”
Immediately, Qiao Lian probed further, “Was there a recent transaction of 200 000?”
“Yes.”
Shen Liangchuan answered again briefly.
His voice sounded gloomy, he seemed unhappy.
Qiao Lian’s heart sank.
So there was indeed.
It seemed like she hadn’t seen wrong that night. Song Yuanxi had given Wang Lan 200 000 indeed.
She was silent for a while before Shen Liangchuan spoke, “I will have this matter carefully investigated.”
Qiao Lian replied with a simple “ok.”
Just as she was about to keep speaking, Shen Liangchuan interrupted her and said, “I’m hanging up.”
Since he was driving, Qiao Lian swallowed her words and nodded. “Ok.”
She frowned after hanging up.
Song Yuanxi was generally known to be a kind person, so if she had really done it, it would make her an extremely shrewd and manipulative person.
However, if she had such deep motivations, why had she been so careless as to make such a glaring transaction?
So was this really just a coincidence?
Qiao Lian tried to suppress her own suspicions and doubts. Very soon, they arrived at the filming crew’s location.
External vehicles were not allowed into the filming crew’s location.
Auntie Li had called Song Yuanxi earlier to inform her of the visit. Now waiting at the entrance of the location was Song Yuanxi’s junior assistant.
When the junior assistant saw Qiao Lian, she was stunned for a moment. She was probably expecting to see Auntie Li and was surprised by the sudden change.
Obviously the junior assistant did not know Qiao Lian, so she asked, “You are...?”
As Qiao Lian did not wish to provide long explanations, she simply said, “Auntie Li had something to attend to at the last minute, so I’m here to deliver the food.”
The junior assistant nodded and led Qiao Lian through the set.
The filming location was huge and there were filming studios scattered around the area.
After the junior assistant led her in, she received a call and immediately said, “Ok, I’ll go over right now.”
Following this, she turned to Qiao Lian and pointed at a resting room not too far away. “Ms. Song has to film tonight, so she’s in the resting room over there. I have to leave now to attend to something.”
Qiao Lian was aware that filming crew staff were usually very busy, hence she nodded. “Thank you.”
She continued to walk towards the resting room after the assistant left.
At this point, she suddenly heard a car engine.
She turned around and saw a nondescript luxury car coming from the main road.
That was... Shen Liangchuan’s car!
Qiao Lian’s pupils shrank immediately. Was Shen Liangchuan here to look for Song Yuanxi?
She quickened her steps at once, approaching them to hear what they had to say.
