Qiao Lian immediately checked whether the conversation that had just happened had been recorded completely, without missing a single word. Only confirming it did she throw her phone into her bag. She then rummaged through it and took out a mirror.

She tilted her head and saw that the imprint of the slap was still visible on her cheek. As she examined her cheek, it started to swell. She reached out her hand to touch it, and she could not help but wince in pain.

How painful.

Qiao Lian's gaze suddenly became dark and gloomy.

Since young, Qiao Lian could stomach anything except injustice.

When Shen Liangchuan bullied her, she could do nothing but bear with it.

However, Yang Lingsi was a different matter altogether!

A gentleman can wait over ten years to exact his revenge. However, she was no gentleman. As such, her revenge had to be exacted tomorrow.

Just you wait and see, Yang Lingsi!

Given that her face was hurting, Qiao Lian did not go to the news agency. Instead, she took a cab back to the Shen family's mansion.

She lowered her head and used her hand to cover her face. She then casually greeted the mansion's caretaker and went upstairs to the master bedroom.

She wrapped some ice cubes in a towel and placed the towel on her own face, after which she tiredly laid down on the sofa.

As she looked at the unfamiliar ceiling, the words that the manager had told her flashed across her mind, ”… Initially, when Mr. Shen suddenly ordered me to prepare the agreement and find you, I thought that you knew each other!”

She racked her brain desperately, trying to find some memory that would confirm or disprove that she had seen him before.

He clearly already disliked her immensely the first time they met. But then, why had he chosen her to bear his child?

Surely… It couldn't be because of her flawless beauty and exceptional genes, right?

Qiao Lian entertained herself in this fashion. If the minds of giants can't be fathomed, then she might as well not think anymore.

Anyway, once she gave birth, she would divorce Shen Liangchuan. At that point, she would be free of all ties and attachments and her life would become better.

”Knock knock!” the sound of someone knocking on her door sounded.

Qiao Lian jumped up in shock as she hurriedly sat up and asked, ”Who is it?”
