nAs she finished speaking, Qiao Lian looked at her, astonished.

nShe watched Xia Yehua say delightedly, “I know a lot about him!”

nAn unconvinced Xiao Ye asked, “Why?”

nXia Yehua blinked and said, “Because… I’m close friends with his mother!”

nAunt Xia was close friends with her mother-in-law? Since they all lived in the same neighborhood… this was definitely possible.

nQiao Lian momentarily cupped a hand over her mouth.

nOh. dear, if Aunt Xia told Shen Liangchuan’s mother about the insults she had thrown at her, wouldn’t she be in big trouble?

nAs she was speculating wildly, Xiao Ye was already excitedly grabbing her arm and saying, “Auntie, you must save our Ms. Qiao!”

nA shocked Xia Yehua immediately asked, “What happened to Xiao Qiao?”

nA crying Xiao Ye said affectionately, with snot and tears running down her face, “You probably don’t know this, but ever since she joined our news agency, our Ms. Qiao had conscientiously tried to uncover scoops with all of her ability. She’s doing a great job-”

nThe edges of Qiao Lian’s mouth twitched. She grabbed Xiao Ye and said, “Enough, speak properly!”

nXiao Ye immediately regained her composure and said, “I’m just telling Aunt Xia about the immense difficulty you’re currently facing, to prevent her from giving us too little information.”

nQiao Lian: …

nXia Yehua had already anxiously grabbed Xiao Ye and said, “And then what?”

n“Actually, our chief editor has a niece called Su Meimei. She plans to compete with Ms. Qiao for the annual Best Employee award, so she has been pressuring our Ms. Qiao, saying that if she can’t discover Best Actor Shen’s scandals, she will be fired from the agency!”

nXia Yehua immediately got angry and said, “What kind of person is this? Who doesn’t know that Shen Liangchuan’s surroundings are tightly guarded, so much so that even a fly can’t fly inside? If he didn’t want me to know something, I could never hope to figure it out, let alone the both of you. She’s purposely making things difficult for you! My dear Xiao Qiao, why are you so pitiful? Don’t worry, I will definitely give you a huge scoop.”

nXiao Ye immediately got excited, and then heard Xia Yehua say, “What type of scoop would be considered a huge one?”

nXiao Ye: …

n“When he was young, because he was so beautiful, I- I mean, his mother asked him to wear a beautiful dress. Does this count?”

nQiao Lian: …!

nShe thought about a young Best Actor Shen wearing a dress, a cold expression on his face.

n“Pfff!”, Qiao Lian and Xiao Ye laughed irresistibly.

nHowever, they could not possibly write such a scoop as it would ruin his reputation too much.

nQiao Lian hurriedly shook her head and said, “That doesn’t count.”

n“Then… When he went to school, his parents used to get called to the school every day. Does this count?”

nA surprised Xiao Ye asked, “Isn’t Best Actor Shen quite proficient at studying? Someone uncovered his report card before.”

nXia Yehua immediately waved her hand and said, “None of you know this, but even though he was good at studying, he played truant almost every day.”

n“Where did he go?”

nXia Yehua immediately laughed loudly, saying, “To play!”

nQiao Lian also got curious and asked, “Then how did he still have the best scores in the exams?”

nXia Yehua proudly said, “Because he was smart!”

nQiao Lian said, “Auntie, why do you have an expression of pride on your face?”

nXiao Ye stood to the side, shaking her head and said, “This one doesn’t count, because such a small scoop would only improve the brilliant image of Prince Charming. We need a huge scoop, such as… Mrs. Shen’s identity!”

nXia Yehua immediately hesitated. A conflicted Xia Yehua said, “Mrs. Shen… I- I am also not sure as to who she actually is.”

nOf course she didn’t know who she was, she had never met her!

nXiao Ye’s expression turned awkward. Xia Yehua looked at Qiao Lian and thought about how Xiao Qiao was being bullied by the chief editor at her news agency. She suddenly said without hesitation, “Don’t worry, I will tell you who Mrs. Shen is by the end of tomorrow!”
