”Auntie Li has served me all her life. She's not been fortunate enough to enjoy a good life and, on the contrary, has suffered along with me. When we left the Shen Family home eight years ago without much money in our pocket, the three of us lived with 30 dollars a day. We couldn't even afford meat. ”

Auntie Li and Xia Yehua started to reminisce about that time in their lives.

As they chatted, the topic came back to Song Yuanxi.

”… That child was painful to watch, so obedient and mature for her age. And she's still the same after all these years. Everyone in the family knows—when there's trouble, Yuanxi will help! Ms. Yuanxi said that she came from a difficult environment and now that she is well off, she'll help others as much as possible.”

After reflecting on the past, Auntie Li concluded, ”Ms. Yuanxi is really kind-hearted.”

Xia Yehua nodded and remarked, ”Xiao Qiao, it was wrong of her to suspect you that time. But I hope you don't hold a grudge against her. She's an orphan and we are her only family.”

Qiao Lian's expression froze on hearing this. However, she nodded in agreement.

Indeed, she would hold no grudge against Song Yuanxi, if Song Yuanxi had not been the perpetrator.

At about half past ten, Xia Yehua got tired and went to bed.

Qiao Lian waited up for Shen Liangchuan to return.

At eleven, there was still no sign of Shen Liangchuan and his cell phone had been turned off.

Qiao Lian anxiously waited as she lay on the bed.

Finally, he came in through the bedroom door late at night.

The coldness in his body language was unmistakable.

Qiao Lian immediately asked, ”Why are you home so late? Have you found out anything?”

The skies were still dark, so she turned on the bedside lamp.

The diffused yellow light filled the room and fell on Shen Liangchuan.
