Chapter 1148 - He Actually Likes Her This Much... (4) (1/2)

Qiao Lian stared blankly ahead.

A wave of fear and trepidation washed over her, as a chilling thought flashed through her mind.

But the next moment, she started to feel that maybe it was just a wild guess.

When the Qiao family business collapsed, the Qiao family as a whole was impacted. Only her uncle’s family seemed untouched.

But then again, she had always been the one who understood Lu Nanze more than anyone else. He would never be this tolerant towards someone he didn’t like.
