Chapter 1201 - Goodbye, Second Brother (21) (1/2)

Very quickly, the line was connected and Qiao Yi’s voice answered, “Sis, what’s up?”

She suddenly started to cry again at the sound of his familiar voice.

She could not figure out this tangle of emotions herself, but the moment she opened her mouth to speak, she sobbed, “Xiao Yi.”

The voice on the other end of the line sounded immediately anxious and asked, “Sis, what’s the matter? Did someone give you a hard time? Or have you run out of pocket money? Calm down and tell me. I have money and I can wire funds to you—”

Before he could finish what he was saying, Qiao Lian interrupted.

She quickly said, “No, it’s not that. Qiao Yi, Dad and Mom, their names have been cleared.”

The line was silent for a moment after she said this. The next moment, Qiao Yi’s excited voice said, “Sis, is that true?”

“It’s true.”

“Sis.”

“Yes?”

“Just cry and let it out. I’m here, I hear you.”

Upon hearing his words, Qiao Lian started crying again.

That’s right, let it out.

She had had a hard time for eight years and had worked hard for eight years so that this moment could happen.

When Dad Lu died, she had thought that she could leave it all behind, but it was only when this moment came that she realized that she hadn’t, and couldn’t.

She wasn’t as magnanimous as she thought she could be. She hadn’t been able to stop brooding about it.

Outside the door, Shen Liangchuan was just about to knock when he heard Qiao Lian’s emotional exchange.

He halted and suddenly felt that the moment really belonged to the two siblings. They should have the space to relish the joy of the moment and he shouldn’t interrupt.

Hence, he stood there outside the door and leaned against the wall.

Suddenly, his own cell phone vibrated.

He furrowed his brow and lowered his head to look at the screen. There was a text message from a non-registered number.
