Qiao Lian stared at her anxiously.

At this very moment, her mind was in a mess.

She had overheard every word of the conversation between Shen Liangchuan and Song Yuanxi.

Shen Liangchuan had known all along that Song Yuanxi had framed her and had been sowing seeds of discord between the married couple. Yet, he had accommodated himself to Song Yuanxi and tried to hide the truth from his own wife.

Although, because of having overheard the conversation, it seemed that he was still very protective of her.

Qiao Lian believed too that her husband did love her.

After all they had been through together, this was one thing she was sure of.

It was evident in how he had sent Song Yuanxi away to stay with the filming crew when she had upset Qiao Lian by suspecting her.

But why was Song Yuanxi going all out to harm them?

Who exactly was she?

And what sort of predicament was Shen Liangchuan in to be obliged to accommodate himself to her behaviour?

Why had he never told her about this? Why was it that every time she asked about Song Yuanxi, he would be so evasive?

Qiao Lian wanted answers to all these questions and she wanted them badly.

Hence, she stared intently at Song Yuanxi.

Song Yuanxi frowned. Her usual gentle and timid demeanor had now given way to reveal an underlying ruthlessness. She held Qiao Lian’s stare steadily for a while and suddenly began to smile.

It was a weird and menacing smile. Then she spoke.

“You must know already that Brother Liangchuan had a first love?”

Qiao Lian narrowed her eyes as she heard this.

Not only did she know that Shen Liangchuan had had a first love, she also knew that he had never forgotten her and she was always in his heart and mind.

That was why when they first began their sham marriage, he had made her take the birth control drug. He hadn’t wanted to have a child with her…

But right now, Song Yuanxi’s words…

Did she mean that… it had something to do with his first love? Were they related in any way?

Qiao Lian widened her eyes at the thought of this.

Without speaking, she waited for Song Yuanxi to continue.

Indeed, her next sentence confirmed it. “She was my sister.”

Her sister?

The answer was too unexpected and outrageous for Qiao Lian. She widened her eyes in astonishment.

Giving Song Yuanxi a look of complete disbelief, she asked, “What did you say?”

“I said… Brother Liangchuan’s first love was my sister.” Song Yuanxi took a step towards Qiao Lian, like a demon rising from hell. The person standing before Qiao Lian now was a far cry from the normally weak and gentle creature that Song Yuanxi was. And every word she spoke now was like fire and brimstone from the deep abyss.

“You do not deserve Brother Liangchuan! He belongs to my sister!”

“In his heart, he has only one true love and that is my sister!”

“Do you want to know where your birth control drug came from? Me! Do you want to know who leaked the photograph? It was me too! Brother Liangchuan knew the truth and still he protected me, he even covered my tracks for me. And do you know why? Because… I’m my sister’s only family!!”

One step at a time, she walked towards Qiao Lian as she said these things, forcing Qiao Lian to take in these ugly and cutting words.

“Brother Liangchuan’s heart has only room for my sister!”

“My sister and Brother Liangchuan are the perfect match for each other. But you, what are you compared to my sister?”

“You don’t deserve to be in the team, because only my sister is good enough to work shoulder to shoulder with Brother Liangchuan!”

“My sister is willing to die for Brother Liangchuan!”

“You? You’re not good enough to even lift his shoes!”

These words were like daggers piercing her heart over and over again.

However suddenly, she realized that Shen Liangchuan had never told anyone about his first love… even Xia Yehua didn’t know. No one knew where she was.

And Shen Liangchuan, on the other hand, had been exceptionally understanding with Song Yuanxi.

So as it turns out… as it turns out…!!
