Song Yuanxi’s face turned beet red and she grabbed Xia Yehua’s arm, saying anxiously, “Auntie, did we not agree not to talk about this matter with others? Why are you talking about it now!”

Xia Yehua poked Yuanxi’s nose and said, “If I hadn’t seen the foolish expression you had on your face when you were chatting on your phone, I would not have even known that you were in love. Do you really see me as your stepmother? If so, why wouldn’t you tell me about such a huge thing. I’m telling you, online romance is completely unreliable!”

Song Yuanxi wanted to say something, but she did not dare to say it out loud. Instead, she said softly, “Auntie, this is something that us teenagers do quite often, so you-”

“Teenagers… Well, how about you ask your sister-in-law whether true love can be found over the Internet?”

As she finished speaking, both of them stared at Qiao Lian simultaneously.

Qiao Lian froze; her entire body was stunned.

Could true love really be found on the Internet?

She once thought that the answer was ‘Yes’.

She had even argued with her mom over this issue; she had stood her ground then. She had even travelled a great distance to Beijing to find him.

But ultimately…

Qiao Lian lowered her head and said softly, “Everything you find on the Internet is simulated and you shouldn’t take them seriously.”

As she finished speaking, the atmosphere in the room suddenly shifted.

A cold breeze was blowing directly at her, causing everybody present to subconsciously close their mouths. They had seen Shen Liangchuan walking from the balcony, and his entire body was completely frigid.

He was still holding a cell phone in his hands. Clearly, he had just finished answering a call.

However, his gaze was coldly directed at Qiao Lian’s body.

She had just said that… everything on the Internet was simulated and couldn’t be taken seriously.

Heh.

Why was this sentence so ironic?

That’s because not only had he treated an online relationship seriously, but he had also never forgotten it for eight long years.

Eight years…

How many eight-year groups could a person live through in his entire lifetime?

He swiftly clenched his fists tightly. He found everything he was currently seeing intensely ironic, like the world was mocking him for imagining that his romantic feelings would be reciprocated.

All these months, her kind actions towards him had made his heart gradually soften and almost forget the events from the past.

Eight years ago, she had brought him so much despair!

Yes!

Eight years ago, she had teased him and mocked him… but even now?

Shen Liangchuan’s rage could not be dampened as he slowly walked into the living room, one step at a time.

His fierce gaze caused the three women currently in the room to jump in fright.

Song Yuanxi trembled uncontrollably and she mumbled, “Brother Liangchuan?”

Qiao Lian widened her eyes and could not understand what was happening.

She wanted to stand up, but his gaze petrified her so much that she did not dare to open her mouth and speak, let alone move from her current spot.

The eerie silence and the frigid atmosphere in the room was finally broken by Xia Yehua, who frowned and said, “Shen Liangchuan, what happened? Did another huge scandal break out? Why is your expression so stern?”

Her words seemed to pull him back to reality.

He frowned and laughed coldly. He suddenly turned around, picked up his coat and strode outside!

After a while, everyone in the room heard the sound of the car’s ignition. He had already left.

All three women in the living room were positively terrified. They looked at each other and did not understand what had just happened.

Qiao Lian suddenly thought of something and hurriedly picked up her cell phone. She opened Weibo and discovered that G8ssip Magazine had published an article that had caused the hashtag #ShenLiangchuanTakesDrugs to trend online.

“A reporter from our news agency, surnamed Qiao, has confirmed that Best Actor Shen was present at Hua Mao Hotel yesterday!”

Did Shen Liangchuan think that this piece of news had been published by her?
