Qiao Lian felt indignant for Xia Yehua, but the woman held her wrist.

Xia Yehua sighed, “Forget it, as parents, don’t we all want the best for our children? I’m just lonely and I will be fine if someone can spend time talking to me. Young lady, if you don’t mind, can we build a friendship that crosses generations?”

Qiao Lian immediately agreed, “Of course I don’t mind! I’m really happy to have met you, Aunt Xia!”

Xia Yehua smiled. “Every morning and evening, I will be here. If you are free, you can come and play some games with me. It’s alright if you’re busy too, I won’t burden you!”

Qiao Lian smiled and played another round with Xia Yehua.

When two women started playing, it became kind of crazy. They only parted unwillingly at 9pm.

When Xia Yehua returned to the villa, Caretaker Li came up to her and asked, “Where did you go?”

Caretaker Li smiled. “I just called to check on villa 8, both Mister and Madam ain’t home. You sure you don’t want to return to take a look?”

Xia Yehua coldly remarked, “No, I won’t go! Give Shen Liangchuan a call and ask him to come over to accompany me for dinner, so he doesn’t forget me after getting a wife. If he has no conscience, my young friend will go after him, hmpf!”

——

When Qiao Lian returned home, she realized Shen Liangchuan wasn’t back yet. The house felt as if it had lesser people, the gigantic villa felt very empty.

She looked around with uncertainty and heard voices from the kitchen.

She took two steps forward and stood at the entrance of the kitchen. She was then met with the sight of four servants gathered and having dinner.

“Eat quickly, she’ll be back soon!” one of the servants spoke.

“Sister Zhang, is this… not right? After all, Ms. Qiao is Mr. Shen’s wife, we-”

Qiao Lian then realized that the small group servants was talking about her. She turned around and intended to go upstairs, as it would be really awkward if they saw her.

But the moment she turned around, she heard one of voices behind her.

“Boo!” The servant named Zhang Hong gave a cold laugh. “Have you seen such a madam before? Mr. Shen left on their wedding night and both of them do not get along well. For a period of time previously, didn’t she leave? From what I see, it must have been Mr. Shen who shooed her out. After such a long time, she then slipped back shamelessly, neglecting Mr. Shen. Didn’t you realize that although Old Madam is back, she was so angry that she refused to return to the villa due to her dislike for Madam?”

Old Madam? Refuse to return to the villa?

“Yes, Caretaker Li and a few others have gone over to take care of Old Madam. They have only left us to clean such a big house. But Sister Zhang, although Mr. Shen isn’t returning home for dinner, is it fine for us to not leave anything for her?”

“What’s wrong? Eat!”

Qiao Lian clenched her fist.

She had always been the kind of person that was open to persuasion, but not to coercion. She originally had decided to go upstairs, but after hearing these words, she was so angry she laughed. This was servants bullying their boss, right?

She stood there and laughed. Then, she suddenly spoke, “All of you seem to be enjoying your meal!”

With simply one sentence, all four of the people in the room were greatly shocked. One by one, they stood up and stared at her with disbelief.

Qiao Lian continued laughing. “It’s alright, continue eating, don’t bother about me.”

As her voice settled, the sound of a car could be heard from the outside of the door and in no time, Shen Liangchuan strode in.
