Qiao Lian remembered that, prior to establishing the eSports club, he had been a wealthy young master—as evident in their idle chats.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

However, after the eSports club had been established, all of a sudden he seemed to have become as poor as a pauper.

At the time the club was established, she could sense that he was short of money. Hence, she had even sent him 100,000 at one point.

She guessed that, by that time, he had left the Shen Family home.

Shen Liangchuan continued, “I told my family that I wanted to establish an eSports club, so he finally found an excuse. He claimed that I lacked education and skills and gave me a good beating. Mom could not tolerate it and in the end took me with her, seeking a divorce. He was furious and told her that if that was what she wanted, then there was only one way: leave the Shen family home, taking nothing with her.”

“At that time, Mom hesitated. But when I told her I’d look after her, she went ahead with the decision.”

Shen Liangchuan’s tone was calm.

It was so calm that no one would have guessed how painful it was.

But still, Qiao Lian held his hand tightly.

Mom could not tolerate it... She could imagine how bad the beating must have been.

She was reminded of the way Shen Xiu glared at Shen Liangchuan all the time, as if he couldn’t wait to kill the man. Qiao Lian frowned and said angrily, “This man is simply too much!”

Shen Liangchuan cast his gaze down in silence.

“Ever since he was born, Zihao was cherished and pampered. He didn’t treat me that well. When we left the Shen family home, we were really penniless. I had to borrow money from friends to settle Mom and I really didn’t have the energy to care about Zihao. Besides, he was studying overseas and I couldn’t even afford a year of his tuition fees. So I selfishly thought, ‘let him finish his studies and when he’s back, I’ll tell him the truth.’ But I never expected that Mei Feng and Shen Xiu would intercept and mislead him.”

“At that time, his affair with Mei Feng had been too secretive. Apart from Mom and I, no one knew. From Zihao’s perspective, she wasn’t a third party. He had always thought that after he was abandoned by Mom, Mei Feng looked after him, so their relationship deepened. And Mei Feng has always held an important place in his heart.”

After he said all of this, Shen Liangchuan looked at Qiao Lian and said, “You’ve seen how she operates. She doesn’t show her hand or leave a trail.”

She had ensured she had legitimate reasons for visiting the rehab home.

This person was frightening.

Qiao Lian frowned and sighed deeply, saying, “I think Nuannnuan is in for a hard time.”

Shen Liangchuan did not comment any further.

Snuggled together, the two of them chatted and as they did so, they soon realized that sleep had escaped them.

It was way past midnight when their stomachs started rumbling.

Shen Liangchuan stood up and said, “I’m going to cook two bowls of noodles.”

Qiao Lian nodded.

As Shen Liangchuan worked in the kitchen, Qiao Lian watched him from outside.

After a while, feeling bored, she picked up her cell phone and logged into the mobile version of Lot.

She logged in with her Xiao Qiao ID.

The moment she signed in, she saw there was a message from the competitive team.

She opened the message, which was from the team captain. The content informed that the team gathering was on the second day of the new year, in Beijing. It also mentioned that after the meal, they would all go and pay respects to Zi Chuan. Those who wished to participate were to reply to the message.

Qiao Lian’s pupils shrank when she read this.

She jumped up from her seat.

Lifting her head suddenly, she looked at Shen Liangchuan in the kitchen.

Zi Chuan was obviously not dead. So who was the person on the tombstone? Why did the people on the team claim that he was Zi Chuan?

These questions came to her all at once. She curled her fingers into a fist and replied to the message, saying:

[Count me in.]
