Chapter 522  : The Grand Final (2)

Qiao Lian felt after hanging up the phone, that Sun Linan’s excitement was a little odd.

It was a gut feeling, she couldn’t really put a finger on it.

She and Sun Tzi had used to hang out together before she got hooked on gaming. When that happened, Sun Tzi would go on endlessly about gaming not being a productive activity. And now he was showing interest?

Qiao Lian shook her head and pushed Sun Linan to the back of her mind.

Soon, they arrived at the rehab home.

As she got out of the cab, Qiao Lian surveyed the lavish buildings and generous surroundings. Obviously, it was a private rehab home, since only the wealthy could afford the fees that such a facility would charge.

She walked up to the entrance and at this point, the guard stopped her.

Qiao Lian said to him, “I’m here to visit my sister-in-law. Please, could you help me sign in?”

The guard executed his duty strictly. “No, I can’t. We only allow visitors on Tuesdays and Fridays. The rest of the time the rehab home does not allow visitors.”

Qiao Lian was unconvinced. “But I really do have serious matters at hand and I have to see the patient. Can you not make an exception?”

The guard shook his head and apologized, “Sorry, Miss, these are our regulations. Because the patients here are special, if we let strangers in on a normal day, it may cause panic. I hope you understand. After all, you have a relative in here, I’m sure you’d like your own family member to receive the best treatment, wouldn’t you?

Qiao Lian nodded in agreement.

The reasoning was acceptable, and the rehab home was strict in implementing its regulations. It looked like the rehab home had been dutiful when it came to ensuring their safety. There was no fear of the patients escaping.

But if she was unable to gain entry, then how would she be able to see Song Yuanxi and find out the truth behind this supposed “first love”?

As she was contemplating her dilemma, she saw a young lady walking out of the rehab home.

She looked very pretty and very delicate, her expression was kind and gentle. The saying “tender and soft as silk” would exactly describe her. She wore a smile on her face and anyone who saw her would be inclined to think that she was a good-natured girl.

But why did she look so familiar?

As Qiao Lian tried to jog her own memory, the girl looked as though she had seen a stranger and cast Qiao Lian a glance.

Immediately, her eyes lit up and she came running up to Qiao Lian. “It’s you! Why are you here?”

Qiao Lian froze.

This girl knew her?

Perhaps she saw Qiao Lian’s puzzled expression, so the girl quickly said, “At Glitter Club… Have you forgotten?”

Glitter Club.

Suddenly, it came back to Qiao Lian. Wasn’t this girl the one who had been beaten and then rescued by Shen Zihao?

Clearly, this female worker was feeling very grateful to her. She shook Qiao Lian’s hand and introduced herself, “My name’s Xia Nuannuan. About the other day… I really have to thank you guys. If it weren’t for you…”

Her eyes turned red and misty at this point.

Qiao Lian was immediately sympathetic and comforted her, “It’s okay, it was nothing, don’t think too much of it.”

Although Xia Nuannuan looked delicate, she had great inner strength. While she was being beaten the other day, she did not say one word. It told Qiao Lian a lot about her character.

Hence, Qiao Lian quite liked her.

Besides, seeing her again now, Qiao Lian felt a sense of familiarity.

Xia Nuannuan asked, “Erm… May I know… who was the gentleman who saved me the other day?”

At this point, she started to blush deeply.

Qiao Lian was puzzled. “You don’t know him? Didn’t he carry you away from that place?”

Xia Nuannuan bit her lip and hung her head. “I was scared to death at that time. He sent me to the hospital and left after they treated my injuries. His shirt is still with me. I was wondering if could have the chance to return it to him and thank him personally.”
