Chapter 86 - Leave This to Me! (2/2)

Qiao Lian sat on the bed for a while and calmed herself down. Her cell phone rang again.

When she picked the call up, she heard Xiao Ye's intentionally soft voice saying, ”Sister Qiao, I just saw Best Actor Shen angrily leave. The only person who could make him flare up like that is definitely Mrs. Shen.”

Only then did Qiao Lian remember that Xiao Ye was still waiting for her downstairs. She immediately said, ”I will go and find you now.”

She hung up the phone and changed her clothes.

From the back door, she walked outside and then quietly snuck to the front door. After meeting up with Xiao Ye, the both of them stayed awake the entire night, hiding behind a nearby rock.

Xiao Ye excitedly said, ”Mrs. Shen is definitely inside. We are definitely going to uncover a huge scoop!”

As she finished speaking, her mouth twitched. ”But we have it tough as reporters. Look at people like Mrs. Shen, who can sleep on their comfortable beds. However, we are toughing it out by hiding outside!” She sighed.

Qiao Lian thought, ”I also want to hide inside and sleep. If I had known this would happen, I would have carried both my bed and my blanket downstairs.”

The both of them slowly endured the entire night by talking with each other.

The next day, even at eight in the morning, only two servants left the mansion to buy vegetables. They did not see anybody even remotely resembling Mrs. Shen.

Xiao Ye hung her head, looking like a shrivelled tomato. She followed Qiao Lian outside.

Qiao Lian yawned as she walked. She slapped Xiao Ye's shoulders encouragingly and said, ”When there's a will, there's a way. Don't look so down.”

Xiao Ye nodded.

The both of them walked out of the mansion's neighborhood and entered the garden. Just when they were intending to continue walking, they suddenly heard Xia Yehua's voice. ”Xiao Qiao!”

She walked over and looked at Qiao Lian, saying, ”Look at you! Why do you look like you haven't slept for an entire night?”

Xiao Ye blurted out, ”Of course we didn't sleep. As reporters, it's normal for us to stay awake for the whole night. The only unfortunate thing is that even after staying awake for an entire night, we still did not uncover any of Best Actor Shen's scandals!”

”Best Actor Shen?” Xia Yehua arched her eyebrows and instantly laughed. ”You are trying to uncover Shen Liangchuan's scandals?”

As she looked at Qiao Lian's fatigued expression, Xia Yehua only felt conflicted between Xiao Qiao and her son for a fraction of a second. Her heart aching, she immediately said, ”Leave this to me!”
