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!”
