Qiao Lian obviously could not see Best Actor Shen’s reaction at that moment in time.

After she had scolded him, she became cowardly again. She did not dare to go home because she was afraid that he would seek revenge on her. Thus, she slunk back to the small house that she had rented and stayed in before.

As for the news agency, she pretended that she was off uncovering some scoop and thus was not able to show up for work.

After staying in her small house for two days, her cell phone suddenly rang.

She answered the call and Xia Yehua’s voice emanated from the phone, saying, “Xiao Qiao, Auntie has done you wrong!”

A stunned Qiao Lian said, “Auntie, what happened?”

“I was waiting outside Shen Liangchuan’s mansion for two whole nights, but I did not see Mrs. Shen at all. Boo hoo hoo...”

Qiao Lian immediately explained, “Auntie, it’s probably because nobody is at home. Don’t cry.”

“Achoo!” Xia Yehua sneezed and said, “Xiao Qiao, I have a cold. I’m alone in the house and extremely bored, so come and find me, please.”

Qiao Lian snappily replied, “Sure.”

One hour later...

Qiao Lian was standing in Xia Yehua’s bedroom.

Xia Yehua laid on the bed. Her nose was red and she had a cooling strip pasted on her forehead. She looked extremely weak.

Qiao Lian noticed that the mansion was empty and asked inquiringly, “Where are the servants in your home?”

“They went to buy vegetables! I had them cook up a storm to welcome you.” After she finished speaking, Xia Yehua sobbed for a while and said, “Boo hoo hoo... Xiao Qiao, you must take care of me! You don’t know how unfilial my son is. I’m so sick and yet he forbids his wife from coming to see me! Is he scared that I’m going to chew her up?”

The truth of the matter was that she wanted to know who Mrs. Shen was, but nobody at home would tell her. Hence, she had no other idea but to pull this scheme.

Qiao Lian reached out and touched her head. “Auntie, your forehead is not hot at all!”

Xia Yehua immediately said, “I just took my medicine, which is why my fever subsided temporarily. It’ll return after a while.”

Qiao Lian said, “Then we should go to the hospital.”

“I’m not going! I’m going to wait for my unfilial son to bring his wife to see me.”

As she looked at the state Xia Yehua was in, a warm feeling spread across Qiao Lian’s heart.

She furrowed her brow and said, “Auntie, your son is too unfilial! How about I go and talk to your son on your behalf?”

“Boo hoo hoo... Xiao Qiao, I should have known that in this entire world, only you would treat me the best. Go and talk to him for me!” Xia Yehua quickly jumped off the bed, reached out her hand and grabbed a feather duster. She gave it to her and then weakly climbed up the bed and continued lying on it. “Help me teach him a lesson. Once he comes, beat him with this!”

Qiao Lian: ...

Auntie Xia had probably accumulated a lot of anger inside of her for quite some time now.

As such, Qiao Lian should symbolically hit her son a few times later so that Auntie Xia would feel sorry for him and quickly forgive him.

After settling on this course of action, Qiao Lian heard the sound of a car driving. It came from outside the villa.

“He’s here! Hide behind the door and whack him once he enters,” Xia Yehua excitedly said, sounding like she was there just to watch the unfolding drama.

Once Xiao Qiao realizes that the person she was hitting was actually her idol, the look that she would give... this was definitely going to be fun!

Qiao Lian followed her orders and stood behind the door.

The door of the room was pushed open and a lanky figure walked inside.

“Hit him!”

Xia Yehua yelled commandingly and Qiao Lian picked up the feather duster and started hitting!

However, before she could hit anybody, her wrists were wrenched behind her. Before she could see who it is, someone had pressed her hands behind her back.

Qiao Lian loudly shouted, “Hands off me! Do you know who I am? I am a reporter! You unfilial son, you’d better be careful! Once I write an article about this, your life will be over! Apologize to Auntie Xia right now...”

Before she could finish speaking, she heard a familiar cold voice say, “What are you doing here?”
