She Becomes Glamorous After The Engagement Annulment Ⅱ - Chapter 376

Chapter 376: Do You Believe In Me? (6)

She bit her lip and tried to explain, “I don’t know what happened. I—”

Before she could finish her sentence, Shen Liang Chuan suddenly turned to look at Shen Xiu, narrowing his eyes. Holding up the phone, he said steadily, “There’s something fishy going on.”

Qiao Lian’s heart once more filled with warmth.

In all honesty, having the text message in her cell phone was probably good enough evidence to make her the prime suspect for most people, except those closest to her.

And now, Shen Liangchuan was firmly and undoubtedly standing by her.

Shen Xiu gave a sarcastic laugh. “I wanted to preserve the last bit of dignity for you and your mother and not let things to get too ugly. But I didn’t expect that even at this point you would refuse to admit it. Well then, just you wait, I’ll prove it to you!”

He gave Xia Yehua a glare. Then turned around in a huff and walked out.

He slammed the door shut behind him as he left the room.

Xia Yehua lay on the bed with her eyes shut. Her breathing was laboured as she tried to suppress her own anger.

Her blood pressure shot up and the doctor had to be called in. After putting her up on a drip, her condition normalized gradually.

Qiao Lian waited until after Xia Yehua had fallen asleep before she finally spoke to Shen Liangchuan. “About the news report and the text message, I will investigate and find an explanation for you.”

Someone had made use of her to harm Shen Liangchuan and this was too much.

She was determined to get to the bottom of this. At the very least, she had to prove her own innocence.

Seeing that she was resolute, Shen Liangchuan lowered his gaze and said, “Okay. I will be looking into this matter too.”

–

The person who had written the article was a well-known reporter in the industry and also Daily Entertainment news agency’s gold-star entertainment reporter. This reporter had been consistently producing a few huge sensational entertainment news stories every year.

Hence, it was easy to pin him down.

Qiao Lian decided that he was a good starting point for her investigation.

Shen Xiu had claimed that this reporter had specifically referred to her as the person who had sold him the picture and the insider’s information. What reason did he have to set her up?

Although it may be quite useless to look for him, Qiao Lian felt compelled to try anyway.

However when she arrived at his news agency, she was informed by the receptionist that he had taken leave. Qiao Lian hadn’t expected this.

But this only made her even more certain that someone was deliberately creating trouble.

Qiao Lian wondered if the person behind this was purely targeting her, or if he/she was just out to destroy the relationship between Shen Liangchuan and Shen Xiu?

The matter was becoming more puzzling.

Qiao Lian hung her head in despair as she returned to the villa. Since she had not gone to work and was home early, she decided to visit Xia Yehua at her apartment.

Just as she opened the door and stepped into the apartment, she heard the housekeepers in a discussion.

“Did Madam really expose Sir’s identity?”

“Madam is a reporter, it’s really hard to say!”

“But why would Madam want to sell the information?”

“Don’t be stupid! If it Mr. Shen’s Father hadn’t said so, how would you have known that Madam was the one who had leaked the information? But it’s surprising. Madam looks like such a good person on the surface. Who’d have imagined she could be so scheming?! You certainly can’t judge a book by its cover.”

“That’s right. Sir has been so good to Madam, what more does she want? How could she even do something like that!”

“Sir will be so sad! This is too much!”

Qiao Lian frowned as she listened to the conversation. When she was about to retreat, she suddenly heard Song Yuanxi’s voice, “What are all of you doing?”

One of the housekeepers answered, “Miss Song, do you think Madam was the one who leaked the information?”
