Chapter 371  : Do You Believe In Me? (1)

Qiao Lian widened her eyes and looked at the picture in stunned disbelief.

No matter how much she stared at the picture, it resembled the one in her cell phone.

She clenched her fists tightly.

Actually, the news report wasn’t that bad. It only revealed Shen Liangchuan’s identity and background.

However…

Because Shen Liangchuan had always hated the paparazzi, he had protected Xia Yehua and kept her shielded all these years. No one had known of her existence, and even his own identity had been a mystery.

Ever since she had gotten to know about Shen Zihao, Qiao Lian had come to understand why Shen Liangchuan hated the paparazzi so much and why he kept such a low profile. It was all to keep his identity under cover.

But now, the news report had exposed it all.

Furthermore, that picture accompanying the report had been taken with her very own cell phone.

She bit her lip, suddenly realizing that she may have neglected something.

Then she hit the side of her head, suddenly recalling the first day of her marriage to Shen Liangchuan. At the time Shen Liangchuan had said that he didn’t want the media to know about their relationship, however, the following day the news was all over the Internet.

She had tried to convince Shen Liangchuan of her innocence but in the end, both she and Shen Liangchuan did not manage to find out who leaked the news.

And now… would she be one of the main suspects for Shen Liangchuan?

Clenching her fists, she hesitated as she considered giving Shen Liangchuan a call.

Their relationship now was quite different from when they had been newly married.

If she was still Shen Liangchuan’s main suspect when things went wrong, it would just show that he didn’t trust her a bit.

Thinking of this somewhat calmed her down.

Team One had already been talking about it for a while.

“My god! The Shen family! Beijing’s Shen family. Even if they aren’t the nation’s wealthiest, they are close!”

“Ahhhh, from the start I could already feel that among all the actors in the country, no one had the same air of elegance and sophistication that Best Actor Shen has. And no wonder, he’s from one of the great families.”

“According to the article, Best Actor Shen is the eldest son of the Shen family. Wouldn’t that make him heir to the family’s estate?”

Every statement made Qiao Lian more nervous.

If the picture had been released to the media, wouldn’t the Shen family members’ contact information get released too?

She roughly bit her lip. Eventually, she could no longer endure it. She picked up her cell phone and dialled Shen Liangchuan’s number.

However, she wasn’t able to get through. It seemed like Shen Liangchuan had turned off his cell phone.

Her heart sank. Unable to remain seated, she stood up at once and called Shi Nianyao to inform her that she was leaving. Then, she went downstairs to hail a cab and headed home.

Indeed, throngs of reporters were milling around the villa’s neighbourhood. Yet the District Affairs Management was responsible and there was tight security, so none of them had been able to get into the district.

Qiao Lian’s cab drove straight into the villa district and, as she got off the cab at Xia Yehua’s apartment, she heard there was a heated argument inside.

The cab had dropped her at a short distance from the villa. Quickening her steps, she approached the villa and entered the villa grounds.

As she entered, she noticed a few limited edition luxury cars parked in the courtyard.

If it weren’t for the fact that Shen Liangchuan had bought a big villa, the area wouldn’t have been able to accommodate all these cars.

There were many cars so how many people were in the house exactly?

She pushed open the door and stepped into the house. The living room that normally felt spacious now seemed a little tight.

More than ten bodyguards in black stood by the side, making the people in the house feel rather coerced.
