Chapter 707 - Do You Hate Me This Much? (7) (1/2)

It was true.

That huge fire eight years ago had razed everything to the ground, everything in the house and the garden.

Even that flower pot had been charred—obviously useless.

But if that was the case, was the scene before her just her imagination?

She turned and saw that Shen Liangchuan too had an extremely troubled expression.

She took a step back in fright and grabbed Shen Liangchuan’s hand at once. The door flew open before she could open her mouth to speak.

An elderly woman walked out. With a hoarse voice, she called out, “Who’s that?”

Then she saw the two people in front of her. Her gaze finally fell on Qiao Lian. After a moment of silence, her eyes lit up suddenly as she exclaimed with a voice choked with emotions, “Little Miss? Little Miss, you’re back!”

Qiao Lian immediately walked forward and took the old woman’s hand.

Stunned, she cried out, “Senior Auntie Zhang?!”

This had been their family caretaker, who had been with them from the time they were born.

At that time, after her parents perished in the fire, they had to dispatch the housekeepers.

There was much crying when Old Auntie Zhang left. She had even kept her years of savings aside, with the intention of helping them through the tough period.

At that time, Qiao Lian’s parents had been worried. Having taken that money from her, what would she do in times of urgent need?

But now…

Who could tell her what was going on here?

Had she… time traveled?

That couldn’t be right. Because Old Auntie Zhang looked really old and different from what she had eight years ago.
