Chapter 1199: Goodbye, Second Brother (19)
They heard Shen Xiu’s big talk as they were coming in through the door.
Qiao Lian laughed icily and Shen Liangchuan’s expression darkened. He immediately stepped forward and said slowly, “And what was the use of you marrying Mei Feng then?”
Meaning that Mei Feng could not bear children either.
Shen Xiu almost choked. He paused before saying with exasperation, “I already have you and your brother! So why does it matter that your Auntie Mei Feng has no children?”
Shen Liangchuan raised an eyebrow and said, “And what makes you think I don’t have a child?”
Shen Xiu was stumped by these words and, for a moment, did not realize what they actually meant.
But Xia Yehua very quickly and sensitively caught it, and she immediately looked at Qiao Lian’s stomach.
She took a step forward excitedly and shoved Shen Xiu aside, while grabbing Qiao Lian’s hand and saying, “Xiao Qiao, Xiao Qiao, so you’re our family’s big achiever! Hurry, hurry and get out of the way! Xiao Qiao, come, come sit next to me. Are you tired after the flight and the drive? Does your back hurt?”
Qiao Lian wasn’t quite sure what to make out of Xia Yehua’s reaction.
She looked at her and said helplessly after a moment, “Mom, I’m fine.”
She nudged the woman and looked simultaneously in Xia Nuannuan’s direction.
Xia Nuannuan had gotten paler during this period, probably because she had lost a lot of blood and had not yet recovered. It may take some time.
Observing that Qiao Lian was looking in behind her, in Xia Nuannuan’s direction, she immediately understood.
Nuannuan had just lost her baby and was grieving over it. Xia Yehua, on the other hand, had been so excited that she had outrightly expressed her happiness.
As Xia Yehua realized this, Xia Nuannuan said, “Lian Lian, congratulations.”
Qiao Lian smiled at her and acknowledged this saying, “Uh huh.”
It was a harmonious time for the family.
And the atmosphere in the house was joyous.
Seeing this, Shen Xiu narrowed his eyes and suddenly thought of a time when he was together with Xia Yehua.
She had always been a carefree, casual and loud person.
Hence when they were together, the home was always buzzing and noisy.
He used to get a headache from it but after they divorced, he had suddenly felt that the home was oddly missing something.
Now being in this atmosphere, Shen Xiu winced and actually felt like it was something he had cherished.
But how could he cherish it?
At this thought, Shen Xiu snorted and said, “Even if she’s pregnant, the child carries the blood of the scammers! How are we going to manage the public opinion?”
He looked straight at Shen Liangchuan and continued, “In the past, you were a Best Actor and I couldn’t interfere. But now you’re working for the family business, so you have to set a good example in these things!”
“The two of you have to get a divorce! The Shen Family doesn’t want a girl from such a family.”
Shen Liangchuan laughed icily and said, “I’m afraid this is not up to you. Besides, whose idea is this?”
Shen Xiu immediately sneered, “Whose idea do you think it is? If it weren’t for your grandfather’s tacit approval, do you think I’d come all the way here to mind other people’s business?!”
Shen Liangchuan narrowed his eyes at once.
At this point, Qiao Lian’s cell phone suddenly rang.
Puzzled, she picked up the phone and took the call. It was Shi Nianyao, who said at once, “Qiao Lian, hurry, hurry up and check out the link I sent you, big news!”
Qiao Lian pressed on the link, wondering what this was about. The startling headline caught her eyes:
