“Oh, and do you know the Shen family? Everyone in Beijing knows us. When you speak of the Shen family, everyone will think of us. So who will be more beneficial to you, surely it’s obvious? Come on, make a choice, is it going to be me or him?”

Shen Liangchuan’s expression was dark and brooding now, like an impending storm.

Qiao Lian noticed this and reached out her hand to tug at his sleeve. Then she looked at Shen Zihao as though suddenly realizing something. “Oh, it’s Young Master Shen!”

Immediately, Shen Zihao looked pompous. “Well, it looks like you know our family. If that’s the case, you should have no concerns, right?”

Then he stretched his hand out to Qiao Lian. “Come with me.”

Qiao Lian blinked and then nodded, stretching her hand as well.

Shen Zihao stuck his chin out haughtily. But as he thought he had succeeded, the hand that was supposed to grab his suddenly tightly gripped his arm.

The next moment, the room spun in the blink of an eye. The next thing he knew, he had been thrown on the ground mercilessly.

Qiao Lian’s skillful shoulder technique left everyone gaping with surprise.

Following this, she dusted off her hands and looked down at the shocked Shen Zihao, saying, “I had to teach you a lesson. You need to be more respectful towards your big brother’s wife!”

After these words, she changed her tone completely and immediately, like a needy little bird, she leaned against Shen Liangchuan and chirped, “Let’s go, honey.”

This dramatic scene stunned everyone into a stupor.

As Shen Liangchuan’s and Qiao Lian’s silhouettes disappeared into the far end of the corridor, Lu Ming turned to look at Shen Zihao, who had managed to sit up on the floor. Obviously, it had been a hard throw.

He suddenly shuddered as he realized that Shen Liangchuan’s wife had probably let him off easily earlier on.

–

Since they left Glitter, Shen Liangchuan had had a gloomy expression on his face.

Although most of the time he had been expressionless, but right now Qiao Lian knew he was in a truly bad mood.

Was it because of that Shen Zihao?

Qiao Lian opened her mouth to ask, but then eventually decided not to.

She realized that she barely knew anything about Shen Liangchuan’s life even though she had been married to him for some time.

From the start, she had known that he didn’t have an ordinary background, but she could never have imagined that he was from THE Shen family.

The Qiao family had also owned a renowned family estate in Suzhou at the time, that was why she was familiar with all the great families and enterprises throughout the country. Among the countless corporations, the Shen family was one of the forerunners.

The Shen family business was involved in many industries, including hotels, transportation, multimedia, entertainment etc. One could say they were the leaders in the business world and anyone in the community would know them.

She had had no idea that he had such a prominent background.

She was still in a daze when she suddenly heard Shen Liangchuan say, “When we get home, don’t tell Mom we ran into Zihao.”

Qiao Lian paused and immediately nodded. “Okay.”

From the confrontation between Shen Zihao and Shen Liangchuan, she could tell that Shen Zihao was not on good terms with Shen Liangchuan and his mother.

Shen Liangchuan was already unhappy, there was no point in upsetting Xia Yehua as well.

And now, since Shen Liangchuan wasn’t going to keep explaining, she decided not to probe.

Just like how he had never probed into her own past.

The two were silent all the way home. The minute they reached the house and got out of the car, they heard voices coming from the living room. Obviously, Xia Yehua was visiting again.
