Her pupils shrank at once and she tried stay calm.

Then she clenched her fists tightly.

Before she could speak, however, the man exclaimed, “Ms. Qiao, it’s been a long time!”

The moment he said this, the expressions of everyone present changed.

Qiao Lian bit her lip and clenched her fists tightly.

Shen Xiu said with a cold laugh, “This is a reporter from Daily Entertainment news agency, and also the person who bought the information from Qiao Lian.”

He waved his hand and threw something on the coffee table. “This is the invoice from Qiao Lian. And in the last couple of days, a sum of two hundred thousand dollars had been deposited into her bank account. Together with the text message on her cell phone, don’t we already have enough proof of what she has done? What else do you want to say to that?

Xia Yehua raised an eyebrow.

Song Yuanxi glared at Qiao Lian angrily, as though she was going to charge at Qiao Lian and start a fight at any time.

Qiao Lian, on the other hand, did not pay attention to anyone else in the room. Her whole attention was focused on this man wearing a baseball cap.

The look in her eyes was dark and complex.

With an icy chortle, Shen Xiu spoke, “You went public with this to pressure our family, and then you will say you are part of the Shen Family. Xia Yehua, how scheming can you be? What a waste though, you’ve made a mistake where I’m concerned. Did you think that I would take you back into the Shen Family for the sake of looking good? Keep dreaming! Let me tell you this, there’s no way I’ll ever let you step back into the Shen Family.”

After he said this, Shen Zihao’s pupils shrank as he looked at Shen Xiu, seemingly about to speak, but eventually he kept silent.

Shen Liangchuan stood up at once. “You’re exaggerating.”

Shen Xiu pointed at him angrily. “Dishonorable son! Shut up! If it weren’t for you, your mother and I wouldn’t have divorced!”

Shen Liangchuan’s pupils shrank again when he heard this.

Xia Yehua stood up immediately. “Shen Xiu, that’s enough. Don’t assume I won’t tell the truth in front of our children just because I’ve been giving you face up until now!”

Panic flashed across Shen Xiu’s face as he quickly glanced at Shen Zihao. Seeing that Shen Zihao had not paid close attention to Xia Yehua’s words, he looked relieved and quickly changed the topic. Looking at Qiao Lian, he continued, “Qiao Lian, are you still not going to own up to this matter?”

Feeling that she was once again the focus of and attack, she opened her mouth to speak. However, Shen Liangchuan interrupted her, “So what do you want exactly?”

Qiao Lian was stunned as she did not expect that Shen Liangchuan would still protect her, even at this moment.

Shen Liangchuan looked at Shen Xiu coldly. “You turn up here repeatedly to create trouble. What is it that you want?”

At this point Shen Xiu choked on his words, unable to answer that question.

That’s right, why was he there to create trouble?

The article was out and even if they managed to uncover the real culprit, so what?

Even if Shen Liangchuan were to upload a post on Weibo to deny the news report, the Shen Family blood still flowed in his veins. Could that reality be changed?

No, it couldn’t.

The truth was that he could not bear Xia Yehua’s disdain towards him. And that was why he wanted to find proof that Xia Yehua was regretful and wanted to come back to the Shen Family. He wanted to find evidence of what he hoped was true.

But what then? Even if he could find such evidence, there was really no benefit in it for him.

Because right up to this moment, neither Xia Yehua nor Shen Liangchuan had expressed the tiniest bit of desire to return to the Shen Family.

Shen Xiu, who had been cornered by Shen Liangchuan’s question, glanced at Shen Zihao with an embarrassed expression. He then pointed at Shen Liangchuan and his mother. “You see this? This is awful behaviour. Stay away from them in future! Let’s go right now.”

Having said this, he turned around immediately to head out. However at this point, Qiao Lian suddenly called out, “Wait a minute!”
