Song Yuanxi reached out for the tissue before her and dried her eyes with it.
But when she realized who had given her the tissue, she suddenly jumped nervously.
She turned to look at the young man and quickly said, “I—”
“You what? My darling girlfriend? Or should I say the bed mate I picked up from the streets?”
The young man’s playful voice was mellow and rich, like a C major note played on a cello. It carried the sort of charm that could stir a girl’s heart.
Song Yuanxi immediately turned scarlet. She clenched her fists tightly and an expression of shame crossed her face.

Shen Liangchuan stood outside the cafe, looking through the gla.s.s facade. He observed the interaction between Song Yuanxi and this man.
He could tell their relations.h.i.+p was not a normal one.
If Song Yuanxi had been staying with this man for these days, then the express delivery mail that he had been receiving and the person who had delivered the Chameleon Plant couldn’t have been because of her.
He knew Song Yuanxi well.
He could tell from the conversation he had had with her that she had truly left those ill feelings behind her.
She had started a new life for herself.
This was all good.
Shen Liangchuan turned and got into the car.
He drove aimlessly around the streets of Beijing city, thinking about who it could be, who could know so much about him and Soul Fighter, but at the same time remind him constantly to take revenge.
It wasn’t Song Yuanxi, but there was the naggy feeling that the person was very familiar with his relations.h.i.+p with Soul Fighter.
As he thought about this, his expression suddenly darkened.
He recalled the silhouette of the courier who had delivered his takeaway order. At the time, he had been wearing a baseball cap and his head was lowered, covering his face. But now that he thought about it, his figure… bore a resemblance to Soul Fighter’s!
Could it be…
At this thought, he quickly picked up his cell phone and dialed Song Cheng’s number. “I need your help to find Zhou Song’s death record. I want the details. Every single detail.”
“Soul Fighter” was Zhou Song’s online nickname.
He was also Song Yuanxi’s elder brother.
One of them had taken their mother’s surname; the other, their father’s.
Hence at that time, when Qiao Lian saw the tombstone, she had not made the connection between Zhou Song and Song Yuanxi.
If Zhou Song hadn’t died… then would everything be a lot less complicated?
And the burden he had been carrying in his heart wouldn’t be as heavy.
At this thought, Shen Liangchuan took a deep breath.
He hoped so. He hoped that things would turn out to be what he thought.
Song Cheng said respectfully, “Sure, Mr. Shen, but Zhou Song died eight years ago and it will not be easy to get that information. I will need some time.”
“Uh huh.”

Time flew.
In the blink of an eye, two weeks of the first lunar month pa.s.sed. The next day, it was going to be Xia Nuannuan and Shen Zihao’s wedding, but recently Qiao Lian could clearly see that Xia Yehua was distracted.
During the meals, she ate little and would find excuses to go back into her room after taking a bite or two.
Qiao Lian was puzzled and, looking at Shen Liangchuan, said, “Zihao will be getting married soon. Why does Mom look so melancholic?”
Shen Liangchuan frowned. He too, had no idea.
At this point, Aunty Li walked out of the kitchen and said with a deep sigh, “Tomorrow is Young Master Zihao’s wedding but up till now, no one in the Shen family has sent an invitation to Senior Madam.”
At once, a great realization came upon Qiao Lian.
Xia Yehua and Shen Liangchuan had cut off all ties with the Shen Family when they left years ago.
Without an invitation, there was no way they could get into the event hall.
Could it be that Xia Yehua wouldn’t be able to attend Shen Zihao’s wedding at all?
