Best Actor Shen’s servant… committed theft?

Qiao Lian was kind of shocked. “Really?”

“Hah, of course it’s real! I have been following this piece of news. I’ve heard that the Shen Family wasn’t willing to let the matter rest and insisted on getting her jailed. The court will decide her sentence in a few days.”

Qiao Lian’s heart suddenly jumped and an unknown nervousness rose in her. “What’s the servant’s name?”

“She’s named Zhang Hong, but when I went to interview her, this Zhang Hong claimed that Best Actor Shen had kicked her. Tsk, why would Best Actor Shen hit her? No one will believe her words!”

Qiao Lian believed her!

Qiao Lian had been lying on her bed while talking to Xiao Ye on the phone. However, after hearing her words, she suddenly sat up straight and accidentally pulled her wound, causing pain on herself.

She used one hand to press on her wound as her eyes widened.

The feeling of loss she had had in the past few days suddenly vanished into thin air.

He had punished Zhang Hong!

Was it because of her?

He had not only kicked Zhang Hong, but even sent her to court.

Qiao Lian felt that her dying heart had signs of revival.

She hurriedly suppressed the restlessness in her heart. She couldn’t help but take a deep breath and asked Xiao Ye, “Do you have news of Best Actor Shen?”

“Yes, Best Actor Shen has been in Shanghai recently. He will be taking the ten o’clock flight back to Beijing tonight.”

Tonight?

Today was coincidentally the day she was getting discharged.

She had originally been filled with boredom, but at this instance, she was looking forward to returning home.

At twelve noon, Song Cheng came to fetch Qiao Lian and take her home after she completed her discharge procedures.

When she was back at the villa, she realized that Zhang Hong and the few other servants were indeed gone.

Caretaker Li walked out with a larger smile on her face. “Madam, you’re home.”

Madam?

Qiao Lian widened her big black eyes and when she was about to correct her, Caretaker Li spoke and apologized to her, “… I didn’t expect Zhang Hong to be such an awful person. Madam, you must have gone through a lot grievance.”

Qiao Lian waved her hand with nonchalance. “I’m fine, don’t worry.”

If she hadn’t been so sick and had been able to stand up by herself, why would she have been so terribly bullied by Zhang Hong?

When she was healthy and conscious, she definitely had the upper hand.

Even if Shen Liangchuan hadn’t dealt with Zhang Hong, after she were to be discharged, she would have also wanted to deal with her.

After she spoke to Caretaker Li, she made her way upstairs to rest.

However, the moment she laid down, her phone rang.

When she picked up, Xia Yehua’s voice came from the other side, “Xiao Qiao!”

Qiao Lian was confused, “Aunt Xia?”

“Yes, it’s me! Why did you disappear for the past few days? I’ve been waiting for you in the park daily and it’s already been a week. I thought you had moved, so I called you. Did I disturb you?”

Qiao Lian hurriedly replied, “No, Aunt Xia, where are you? Did anything happen?”

“No, everything is fine, I just miss you! I’m home now. When are you free? Come over and visit me.”

Qiao Lian looked at the time and replied, “I’m free now.”

All she had done in the hospital for the past few days was eat, sleep and repeat. She felt as if she was going to rot. Anyway, she only had to report to work the next day, she still could relax that afternoon.

“Really? Come to my house then, I’m in villa 18.”

“Ok.”

The neighbourhood was really huge. Thus, villa 8 was quite a distance away from villa 18.

She only reached villa 18 after walking for more than 20 minutes.

She pressed the doorbell and Xia Yehua came to open the door for her personally.

She then followed Xia Yehua into the villa. Qiao Lian was stunned when she saw the arrangements on the coffee table. It was actually…

“Auntie, why does your room have pictures of Shen Liangchuan?!”
