Song Cheng drove up and pulled the car to a stop next to the Song Yuanxi and Shen Linagchuan.
He opened up the back door and pushed the wheelchair, with Song Yuanxi in it, into the nanny van.
As they made their way back to the hospital, she looked dispirited and lost, as though all energy had been drained away from her.
When they arrived at the hospital and as Song Cheng was about to push the wheelchair out of the vehicle, she looked up at Shen Liangchuan. “Brother Liangchuan, when are you sending me away?”
Before Shen Liangchuan could speak, she interrupted him by grabbing his sleeve and pleading to him. “Brother Liangchuan, we are still in the middle of filming. Besides, I want to give Auntie a proper goodbye. Can we wait until I’ve done all of this before you send me away?”
Shen Liangchuan cast his gaze down and looked at her. After a brief pause, he said, “I’ll talk to the filming crew to remove you from the cast. As for Mom, I’ll say goodbye on your behalf.”
On hearing his decision, her pupils shrank.
She harshly bit her lip as he continued, “I’ll arrange for someone to come for you tomorrow.”
After saying these words, he turned and strode away.
Song Yuanxi was left there in her wheelchair, her body tensed with fury.
She looked at Shen Liangchuan’s disappearing figure and clenched her fists so tightly they hurt.
Ever since Brother Liangchuan had taken her into the Shen Family eight years ago, he had cared for her in every way, giving her a more than comfortable life.
But now, all because of that woman, he had become so cruel and heartless towards her.
In anger, she pounded the wheelchair with her fist.
Qiao Lian, I won’t let you off easily!
–
“Achoo!”
Qiao Lian sneezed in the quietness of the cemetery.
She gave her nose a gentle ma.s.sage and looked up at Zi Chuan’s tombstone.
There was a wreath already placed before it, indicating that someone had probably come to offer prayers not too long ago.
Like it was the most natural thing in the world, she bent over and sat next to the tombstone.
“Zi Chuan, I didn’t think that you’d have any friends, given your poisonous tongue.”
She paused and suddenly looked distracted. “But that would be right too… You were cold on the outside but warm on the inside, and you were a chivalrous person. That was why so many people liked you.”
Her gaze was fixed on the empty s.p.a.ce ahead.
Scenes of those years, when she had been a gamer, flashed in her mind as though they had a life of their own. They replayed before her.
Now she realized that all these memories, which she thought she had left behind, were clear as day, down to every little detail.
She laughed bitterly and hung her head.
That relations.h.i.+p eight years ago… the betrayal… she remembered every detail. What else could one except of Shen Liangchuan and his first love?
Hence, who was she to even think that she could replace the first love Shen Liangchuan would never be able to forget?
Qiao Lian took a deep and painful breath.
Then she stood up.
Looking straight at the tombstone, she paused and pursed her lips before saying her goodbye. “Zi Chuan, I’ll come look for you again another day.”
She placed the bouquet she had brought before him.
Then, she turned and walked towards the entrance of the cemetery, where the cab was waiting.
It was ten p.m. by the time she got back to the villa.
Pus.h.i.+ng the front door open, she heard the voices of Xia Yehua and Shen Liangchuan in an argument.
Xia Yehua sounded angry. “Yuanxi is afraid of being alone. What’s wrong with going to the hospital to accompany her?”
Shen Liangchuan was adamant. “The caretakers there will keep her company. You stay at home to rest tonight.”
“It’s my body and I can handle it. You know that Yuanxi has been timid from a young age, and now she’s alone in the hospital…”
“Mom, this is what Yuanxi wants.”
Xia Yehua immediately fell silent and gave a sigh. “Yuanxi is a good child!
