Following Xia Yehua’s question, Qiao Lian threw a glance at Shen Liangchuan.
He pursed his lips, apparently not wishing to lie but also not knowing how to put the truth across. Qiao Lian blinked and looked at Xia Yehua. Then she spoke, “Mom, Yuanxi was just fooling around with us, none of us expected it to blow up. She’s fine now, really.”
Xia Yehua narrowed her eyes when she heard this. “Xiao Qiao, you’re telling the truth?”
Qiao Lian was about to say something to gloss over the matter when Xia Yehua continued, unconvinced, “I may be getting old and muddled, but my heart is not muddled!”
She turned to Shen Liangchuan instead. “How much longer are you intending to keep me in the dark?”
Qiao Lian made a motion to speak again, but this time Shen Liangchuan interrupted her. “Mom, there are a few things that we ought to let you know now.”
Xia Yehua paused and gave attention as she noted Shen Liangchuan’s serious expression.
With a few broad and vague sentences, he told her about what Song Yuanxi had done.
Although he had tried to paint a relatively casual storyline, Xia Yehua was, after all, someone who had been through too much in life. So hearing about the suicide attempt and the incident with the birth control drug was enough to frighten her.
After hearing the whole story, she placed her hand on her chest and frowning deeply, said, “Why is Yuanxi targeting Xiao Qiao? Liangchuan, I’ve never questioned you or your decisions too much. But even now, won’t you tell me who exactly Song Yuanxi is?”
On this note, Qiao Lian looked straight at Shen Liangchuan.
Although she now knew who Song Yuanxi was, this information had never come from Shen Liangchuan himself.
And now, was Shen Liangchuan going to tell his mother about his first love?
She continued to fix her gaze on Shen Liangchuan, hoping to find out why or how she had died because of him.
Shen Liangchuan frowned at Xia Yehua’s question.
His gaze, however, fell on Qiao Lian. It was complex and undecipherable.
It was hard to interpret that look, or what the man was thinking.
After a brief pause, Shen Liangchuan finally spoke, “She’s the sister of an old friend.”
Puzzled, Xia Yehua probed further, “What sort of old friend?”
Shen Liangchuan pursed his lips tightly. It was evident that he wasn’t going to reveal more.
Xia Yehua sighed, “These things that Yuanxi has done… Are you really going to send her away?”
Shen Liangchuan nodded in affirmation. “It’s the only way we can keep peace in the household.”
Xia Yehua threw a glance at Qiao Lian.
She looked at the couple before her intently, and spoke after a long pause. “This child Yuanxi… Actually, she has always liked you as more than brother.”
Obviously, Shen Liangchuan was not expecting to hear this sort of news and frowned at his mother. He quickly said, “Mom, you’re speaking nonsense. I—”
“I am not speaking nonsense. How could I not know what a girl thinks, even if you don’t? She spent years furthering her studies overseas, only because she hoped that when she returned, she’d be a good match for you.”
Clearly, Xia Yehua had gone way off-track. “I wonder if she’s harbouring ill feelings and targeting Qiao Lian because of this?”
Feeling quite sure that she had nailed it, Xia Yehua sighed deeply. She turned to Shen Liangchuan and reprimanded him, “People always say that women jinx things, but for our Xiao Qiao, you are the jinx! Look at how you’ve made your innocent wife suffer?”
Shen Liangchuan was speechless.
Xia Yehua reached out for Xiao Qiao’s hands once again. “Xiao Qiao, in the next few months you have to rest and recover well. Don’t worry about having children for now. You can do that after you recover.”
Qiao Lian refrained from replying.
After saying this to the couple, Xia Yehua stood up, trying to look relaxed. She smiled as she said, “That’s enough for tonight. Rest well, both of you. I’m going back to bed.”
