Xia Yehua widened her eyes and focused her gaze ahead, beyond the main door. Following Shen Zihao’s departure, her hands fell to the sides, limp. She had dropped on the floor and passed out.
After the commotion, Xia Yehua was now lying on a hospital bed in the VIP ward.
The doctor addressed the family members, “The patient fainted because she was too agitated, it’s nothing serious. However we did find her blood pressure a little high. For someone with this condition, it’s best to keep her emotions in check, otherwise it could put her at risk.”
Shen Liangchuan and Qiao Lian both nodded to show they understood.
After seeing the doctor out, they turned to look at Xia Yehua who was lying on the hospital bed. Shen Liangchuan lowered his gaze.
Song Yuanxi was by the bedside tending to her. Shen Liangchuan walked out of the ward and Qiao Lian followed him.
She watched as he walked to the balcony nearby and took out his cell phone. He turned it on.
At this point she realized that since the incident had happened, his private cell phone line must have been flooded with calls. That was probably why he had turned it off.
After he turned on his cell phone, he made a call to Song Cheng and instructed him to make the announcement. Then he continued, “This leak has to have come from someone in the household. Reporters couldn’t have been able to get hold of the picture. Run a check on the housekeepers.”
Qiao Lian was standing nearby and was touched when she overheard his words.
He did not suspect her to be the cause of this mess.
Nothing could make her happier.
She lowered her gaze. Initially she had wanted to say something but now, she quietly retreated and went back to the ward.
It was only the following day that Xia Yehua regained consciousness. When she came to, she sighed, “Old age is catching up. My health is getting worse.”
Qiao Lian teased her in an attempt to humour her, “What are you saying, Mom? When you’re next to me, people think we’re sisters!”
Xia Yehua laughed. “You silly child!”
Although her mood had lightened up, she had a poor appetite.
Qiao Lian and Shen Liangchuan had taken leave from work to be at the hospital to accompany her for the day.
As Qiao Lian was concentrated in finding a way to get Xia Yehua to eat something, the ward door was suddenly flung open very impolitely.
Qiao Lian and Shen Liangchuan turned to look and saw Shen Xiu, standing at the doorway looking very angry.
He marched up and with a derisive sneer said, “Xia Yehua, after so many years, you still won’t give up!”
Xia Yehua was stunned at this sudden outburst. “What are you talking about?”
“What am I talking about?” Shen Xiu repeated, and then he turned around and delivered a hard slap.
The slap landed with a loud crack on Shen Liangchuan’s face.
As it had all happened in a flash, nobody could expect this at all.
When Qiao Lian saw the scarlet mark left by Shen Xiu’s hand, the fury inside her exploded.
Xia Yehua was equally furious. “Shen Xiu, are you mad!?”
Shen Xiu laughed and asked, “I’m mad?”
He raised his hand again. “Today I will beat him to death. This dishonourable son who only covets after the Shen family’s assets!”
This time, Shen Liangchuan was prepared and took a step back to dodge the second slap. He said icily, “I have no interest in your family’s wealth.”
“No interest? Then why did your wife sell the information to the reporter!?” Shen Xiu raised his finger to point at Qiao Lian. “I made someone investigate! The person who posted the report said it was Qiao Lian who sold them the information!!”
When he said this, all eyes in the room simultaneously focused on Qiao Lian.
