Chapter 1147 - He Actually Likes Her This Much... (3) (1/2)

The car slowly drove away from the neighborhood. Shen Liangchuan’s finally spoke, “Don’t be scared.”

Qiao Lian’s head spun around. It was only then she realized that her fear was so apparent.

She sighed in relief again and then looked around in the car. “Mom is here?”

“No.”

“So you—”

“I saw that you had entered the Lu family villa with trepidation and I was worried that you’d let the cat out of the bag. It’s just an excuse to get you out of there.”

She continued to heave sighs of relief.

After this, he continued, “But I did just book Mom a ticket and she’ll fly in about an hour. She should get here in about four to five hours.”

“So,” Qiao Lian thought, “they were going all out for pretending?”

Indeed.

Otherwise, what if Lu Nanze got suspicious?

After all, it would be easy to find out if Shen Liangchuan’s mother had never been to Suzhou.

Qiao Lian once again sighed in relief silently, thankful that Shen Liangchuan was such a meticulous person.

At this point, Shen Liangchuan asked, “Did you get your hands on it?”

An odd expression immediately crossed Qiao Lian’s face.

She had picked up that box, initially thinking that the account book was in it, but unexpectedly, when she opened it, she found…

She frowned and stopped short at this thought.
