Chapter 696  : The Scammers’ Daughter! (5)

[After all, the money they used to enjoy life was someone else’s hard-earned life savings. A couple like this… To think that not long ago they were displaying their mutual affections in public and announcing their relationship. I feel disgusted!]

As soon as the article was published, it immediately made the rounds, spreading like a wildfire.

The couple was berated by a huge group of netizens, who commented that they were truly the shameless descendants of unethical businessmen and scammers.

Qiao Lian’s chest heaved with anger when she read these comments.

She bit her lip and clenched her fists.

She would have accepted it if it had just been her getting the criticism, but what right did they have to say these things about Shen Liangchuan?

What wrong had Shen Liangchuan committed?

She bit her lip harshly. She had not expected things to end up in such a situation.

She looked at Shen Liangchuan again. He was still lying in bed.

When he saw the brick hurtling towards her, he had taken the hit for her without a second thought.

And after being hit, he had only said one thing—that he was there for her and things would be ok.

He had given her all the protection he could, but what about her?

The replacement of the lead actor for Ambition…

How busy he had been these days, to the point that she hardly saw him…

And even today, being verbally abused by the public because of her…

The only thing that she had brought him was negativity.

For the first time, she felt completely useless, like a piece of trash.

Biting her lip, she stared at the man lying on the bed.

After a moment, she suddenly stood up and walked out of the room.

When Shen Zihao saw her getting up and the determined expression on her face, he was stunned for a moment. He quickly got up and followed her, as he asked, “What are you doing?”

She cast her gaze downwards and answered, “Just doing what I need to do.”

He frowned, “What is it that you need to do? Don’t you know that it’s crawling with reporters outside the hospital building? Besides, those people demanding for compensation have surrounded and blocked up this place. If you go out just like this, you’ll be walking right into the tiger’s lair!”

Qiao Lian immediately spun around and looked at Shen Zihao. “And then what? Do I just keep avoiding this matter?”

Shen Zihao almost choked.

Ignoring him, she strode towards the entrance of the building.

Panicking, Shen Zihao cried, “My god!”

He hurried back into the VIP ward. “Shen Liangchuan, you have to wake up, quick! Your wife has gone nuts!”

–

Qiao Lian stood at the entrance of the hospital.

The reporters and the group of people seeking compensation had already spotted her.

They turned towards her simultaneously. They looked as though they would surround her the minute she stepped out of the hospital.

Qiao Lian took a deep breath.

At this point, her cell phone rang.

Lowering her gaze, her eyes narrowed at once when she saw the number.

After a short pause, she picked up the call.

From the other end, Lu Nanze’s voice came through, “Divorce him and come back to me. I will resolve all these matters for you.”

That remark sounded like the greatest joke in the world to her right now. “Lu Nanze, is this all your doing?”

He did not reply.

Staring straight ahead, she said, “So you think that without you, I have no way of resolving this matter?”

Lu Nanze suddenly panicked. “What are you thinking of doing?”

“You’ll find out soon.”

Without another word, she hung up the phone and, without hesitating, walked out of the hospital.

In that instance, the crowd swarmed around her.

“Mrs. Shen, are you coming out here to give us an explanation?”

“Ms. Qiao, are you here to compensate us?”

“Give me back my son!”

Standing there, as she took all the verbal abuse and questioning, Qiao Lian suddenly laughed aloud.
