Chapter 195  : How Embarrassing! I Want Qiao Lian to Interview Me! (5)

Dejected, Qiao Lian was walking alone along the streets.

She did not know where to go, so she found a random garden and sat on a long bench.

She did not seem to fit in with the hustle and bustle of her surroundings.

The garden was very lively and crowded with people.

Everyone had different expressions on their faces. Someone, whose life seemed to have not gone as planned, walked past her while sobbing.

Qiao Lian wanted to cry too.

However, since eight years ago, she had already understood that crying was useless.

She felt extremely suffocated, as though her heart was stuffed with cotton to the brim.

The mistake at work was clearly not her fault. She could have even given evidence for it. Why did she have to bear the consequences?

The more she thought about it, the more wronged she felt. She could not suppress that sense of defeat, even after taking in a deep breath.

She had just taken her first step after struggling for eight painstaking years. Why must it be so hard on her?

While she was lost in her thoughts, her cell phone in her bag rang.

She ignored it willfully, as she was in a bad mood.

The phone finally stopped ringing after a long time.

There she was, sitting on a long bench with a blank expression on her face, just like a child that had been abandoned by the entire world.

Biting her lower lips, she lowered her head.

She had been born with a silver spoon in her mouth. For more than 10 years, she had lived in luxury. However, eight years ago, her family had gone bankrupt. Her parents had died in a massive fire and her younger brother had gone astray. It was only then that she gained first-hand knowledge of the good and evil of humanity.

At first, she had had to slog everywhere to make a living.

Later on, she had had to continue struggling to get an education.

She had gone from being one of the upper class to a nobody who could get bullied by anyone.

Life was already tough enough. Why was it that so many people still disliked her?

Suddenly, she stretched out her hands to cover her face.

There were no tears. She was just feeling a little worn out.

She didn’t know how much time passed before the light in front of her suddenly dimmed.

Slightly taken aback, she dropped her hands. What entered her vision first were a pair of black leather shoes and perfectly ironed trousers.

As her eyes slowly traced up the pair of long legs, they were met with Shen Liangchuan’s usual nonchalant and expressionless eyes.

He did not have his sunglasses on. He was only wearing a mask, a baseball cap and a sweater. Both his hands were in his pockets casually.

One could feel the special aura that this man was giving out, even without seeing his face.

Initially, she had thought that she must have seen wrongly, so she rubbed her eyes. However, after confirming that the person before her eyes was really Shen Liangchuan, she stood up immediately and looked at him in terror. “Why are you here?”

She scanned her surroundings vigilantly in an instance.

There were actually numerous news agency around where she worked. Shen Liangchuan’s presence there was no different from a sheep walking into a tiger’s den!

Shen Liangchuan turned around and walked back to where he came from. He only said two words with his deep voice, “Come here.”

Her mind had already blanked out, so she subconsciously followed him. They quickly walked forward to a road beside the garden, and then got on the nanny van in no time.

She could finally heave a sigh of relief. Seeing that he was taking off his mask, she immediately started nagging incessantly, “How can you appear here? You are taking too big of a risk! If someone took a photo, we would be doomed!”

After conveniently throwing away the one-time mask into the dustbin beside, Shen Liangchuan looked at her and said, “Come with me somewhere.”

To where?

Qiao Lian stared at him wide-eyed, but Shen Liangchuan simply leaned back on the seat and rested his eyes.

Qiao Lian could only shut her mouth.

She turned her head to look out of the car, only to discover that the car was on the expressway leaving Beijing. She wanted to ask where exactly they were headed to. However, after turning around and looking at Shen Liangchuan, she swallowed her words.

In no time, they had already arrived at the destination.
