Chapter 370 - She Is My Wife! (10)
Grabbing the opportunity, Song Yuanxi quickly reached into her pocket. After a quick search she exclaimed, “I don’t have my cell phone with me.”
Qiao Lian immediately said, “Here, I’ll use mine.”
Then she took out her cell phone and snapped a picture of the three of them.
In the picture, the two dashing-looking men stood next to their mother.
Shen Zihao’s face displayed a reluctant expression, while Shen Liangchuan was expressionless. Only Xia Yehua smiled so happily that her eyes could barely be seen in the photo.
Shen Liangchuan only let Shen Zihao go after the picture was taken.
Before Shen Zihao got into the car and drove away, however, he shot Shen Liangchuan a hostile glare.
Xia Yehua shook her head and smiled as she watched him leave. Then she turned to Qiao Lian asking anxiously, “Where’s the picture?”
Qiao Lian selected the picture and displayed it on the screen for Xia Yehua. As Xia Yehua reached out for the cell phone with a trembling hand, her eyes turned teary with emotions. She stared at the image for a long time and sighed, “It’s been eight years. I haven’t taken a picture with him for eight years.”
The way she said it was heart-wrenching.
Song Yuanxi quickly came forward to comfort her. “There’s still plenty of time! Since Mr Shen has visited you, it shows he’s no longer angry. So you don’t have to worry anymore!”
Xia Yehua smiled and looked at Qiao Lian again. “Xiao Qiao, send me the picture as soon as possible.”
Qiao Lian assured Xia Yehua that she would do so.
She and Shen Liangchuan then got into their car and drove away from the villa.
Sitting in the passenger seat, Qiao Lian remarked, “I completely didn’t know what to do before Yuanxi suggested taking a picture. But Mom was really happy.”
Shen Liangchuan nodded. “Yuanxi knows Mom the best.”
Qiao Lian nodded in agreement. “That’s right. As the old saying goes, daughters are the closest to a mother’s heart. And you, the son, had to be reminded by Yuanxi.”
Shen Liangchuan pursed his lips tight and didn’t say another word.
Qiao Lian could tell that he was a little unhappy.
She contemplated it for a moment and reached out for his hand. “There’s nothing that cannot be resolved between a mother and a son. Zihao may have some grudges against you and your mom, but that will go away with time.”
Shen Liangchuan let out a deep breath and he said with pessimism, “Let’s hope so.”

The work day had been long and uninteresting.
The news agency had been quiet since Su Meimei had left.
It actually took a while for Qiao Lian to get used to not having that woman making snide remarks for her to hear all day long.
And because the matter concerning Fan Lu had been well-managed, she was no longer putting the news agency in a difficult position. She didn’t even bother with the proposed article that the news agency offered to help clear her name. Liu Zhixing therefore had been especially polite and nice to Qiao Lian.
Except that just as the work day ended, there was a breaking piece of big news.
“Hurry up! Check Weibo!”
“Oh my god! This is the most sensational news I’ve heard this year.”
“It reached the trending topics list after only having been published for five minutes.”
The members of Team One discussed this with great excitement, so it didn’t take long for Qiao Lian and Shi Nianyao of Team Two to realize it.
Qiao Lian quickly took out her cell phone. Her pupils shrank immediately when she read the news.
The headline read:
[Best Actor Shen’s Background Exposed!]
Qiao Lian clicked Weibo with trembling hands.
The first thing she saw was that photograph.
That picture of Shen Liangchuan, Shen Zihao and Xia Yehua.
The content of the article thoroughly exposed the identities of the three people in the picture. Shen Liangchuan was no ordinary celebrity, but the son of the Shen family.
Qiao Lian’s fingers froze as she read this and she dropped her cell phone on the ground, in shock.
