When Xia Yehua heard these words, she looked at the photo frame in Qiao Lian’s hands. She could not resist but to arch her eyebrows and say, “You’ve finally recognized him!”
Qiao Lian nodded her head and said, “These must have been taken the year he debuted in the entertainment industry, right?”
“Yes, it was then! Woah, I can’t believe that you, Xiao Qiao, are so knowledgeable about him.”
Qiao Lian answered, “He wore this sweater before during that year.”
“Hahaha! Looks like you are indeed a loyal fan of Shen Liangchuan.” Xia Yehua walked over and sat down, pulling Qiao Lian down with her. She then took the photograph and a sly expression flashed across her glance.
If she invited Xiao Qiao to her house someday, Xiao Qiao would be absolutely flabbergasted once she saw Shen Liangchuan in person!
As she thought about Xiao Qiao’s expression, she immediately smiled and said, “I am also a loyal fan of his. I saw him grow up.”
As she finished speaking, she placed the photo of him to the side. She then picked up her laptop computer and said, “Hurry up, Xiao Qiao, come and look at this for me. How do I clear this stage?”
Due to her insistence in changing the topic, Shen Liangchuan was never a topic of conversation after that.
When it was time to eat, Xia Yehua placed the food, which had already gone cold, into the microwave to heat it up. Unable to resist, she said angrily, “I’ve already told you about how someone forgets their own mother after they are married! You don’t know this yet, but the servants in my house were sent to the other house because there was a lack of servants. This must be a demonstration of power by my daughter-in-law, meant to make me understand her status in my son’s heart.”
Qiao Lian furiously said, “How could this happen? I’ve seen many mothers-in-law nitpick over their daughters-in-law, but I’ve never seen a daughter-in-law nitpick over their mother-in-law before!”
Xia Yehua immediately grabbed Qiao Lian’s hand and said, “You’re right! If only my daughter-in-law was even half as sensible as you.”
Qiao Lian also exclaimed, unable to resist, “If only my mother-in-law was half as good as you, then that’d be great!”
Xia Yehua jumped in shock and said, “You have a mother-in-law?”
Qiao Lian nodded and said, “My mother-in-law doesn’t like me. If she visits our house, I must wait outside for her to leave before I can re-enter the house.”
Xia Yehua suddenly realized something and said, “Ah, when you were outside hiding from the rain last time, that was because you were avoiding her?”
Qiao Lian nodded.
Xia Yehua angrily said, “That’s absolutely outrageous! I’ve never seen such a mother-in-law in all my life!”
Qiao Lian nodded savagely and indicated her approval, saying, “If she wasn’t my senior, I would have-”
“You would have what?”
After thinking for a while, Qiao Lian hatefully said, “Drawn a circle and cursed her!”
“Xiao Qiao, if only we were in-laws. There would be nary a conflict between us!”
The entire night’s conversation revolved around the topic of in-laws. Both the host and the guest thoroughly enjoyed themselves.

When Qiao Lian returned home, it was already 10pm at night.
Everything in the mansion had been tidily arranged, but ultimately, the male owner of the house was not here. Thus, the empty house felt lifeless.
Caretaker Li walked out and said, “Madam, it’s good that you’re home. I will take my leave and head over to sleep with your mother-in-law as she is currently alone. Is it fine if I leave only two servants with you?”
Her attitude was devoted and respectful.
Qiao Lian nodded.
After Caretaker Li left, she headed upstairs to the master bedroom. After she finished washing up, she laid on the bed, checking her cell phone from time to time.
Shen Liangchuan’s flight was at 10pm. This meant that it would be midnight before he reached Beijing and it would take at least another hour before he would return home from the airport.
Since that day, they had not met each other again. When he returned home later, how would she face him?
As she worried, her eyelids slowly closed.
At one in the morning, a black sedan drove towards the outside of the villa.
The car’s windows rolled down and Shen Liangchuan gazed at the second floor of the villa.
