She Becomes Glamorous After The Engagement Annulment Ⅱ - Chapter 866
Chapter 866: The Truth about Eight Years Ago (14)
This time, the duel between Mei Feng and Xia Nuannuan ended in a draw.
After dinner, Xia Nuannuan and Shen Zihao went upstairs.
He looked at Xia Nuannuan and said, “It hasn’t been easy for Aunty Mei the last eight years, so try and be respectful towards her in the future.”
Xia Nuannuan nodded immediately.
Seeing how agreeable she was, he added, “But if she insists on having you perform demanding chores, you can refuse. Your health is a top priority.”
Her eyes lit up and she nodded immediately.
Then she got him his pajamas. After he changed into them, they got into bed.
Even though they had gotten married, they hadn’t been intimate yet.
After all, Xia Nuannuan was pregnant and needed to take extra care in her first trimester.
She had been busy all afternoon, but she was finally back in her bedroom.
It was only then that she noticed she had a missed call on her cell phone.
It was from Qiao Lian.
She quickly called back.
Almost immediately, Qiao Lian picked up the call.
By now, Qiao Lian was back at the Shen villa.
Seeing that the call was from Xia Nuannuan, she moved to the balcony.
Xia Nuannuan said, “Lian Lian, what’s up?”
With a frown, Qiao Lian started, “Nuannuan, I was wondering if you’d help me.”
“What is it?”
“Could you try to get Mei Feng to talk? See if you’re able to find out what happened eight years ago, when Shen Liangchuan started up the gaming team.”
Without hesitation, Xia Nuannuan replied, “Ok. But she’s a tight-lipped person and it may not be easy.”
“Ok. Sorry to trouble you.”
After hanging up, Qiao Lian turned towards the empty bedroom.
Shen Liangchuan wasn’t home.
After a company meeting, he was going to have dinner with his colleagues.
Her expression turned gloomy at this thought and she headed downstairs.
Xia Yehua was mumbling, “Would some alcohol help Shen Liangchuan with his insomnia?”
If sleeping pills were not working, how much more effective could alcohol be?
Besides, it wasn’t as if being drunk was good for his health.
The two women chatted for a while before Qiao Lian retreated to the bedroom.
Lying on the bed, she got fidgety and decided that she could no longer wait.
She had to do something about it.
She took a deep breath, picked up her cell phone and looked up Song Yuanxi’s old phone number. She hesitated for a moment and dialed.
The phone rang for a long time, but no one answered.
But at least the call had gotten through.
Qiao Lian knitted her brow and dialed again.
This time, the line was disconnected before anyone even picked it up.
Unwilling to give up, she dialed again.
Finally, someone answered.
Song Yuanxi sounded breathless as she spoke, “Hi, who is it?”
Qiao Lian was slightly taken aback. Her voice…
She frowned and said, “Song Yuanxi, this is Qiao Lian.”
The voice on the other end paused.
Knowing that Song Yuanxi wasn’t fond of her, she was prepared for the line to be disconnected again.
But unexpectedly, the next thing she heard was a muffled moan.
And then some very suggestive noises.
Even though Song Yuanxi had gritted her teeth in an attempt to suppress any sounds, the rustling of sheets in the background was unmistakable.
Qiao Lian froze.
She was completely stunned.
Then she quickly said loudly into the phone, “Song Yuanxi, I’ve got some questions regarding Shen Liangchuan to ask you. Please return my call when you’re available, ok?”
