Chapter 588: Qiao Lian (8)
When Song Cheng saw the people before him, he frowned, puzzled.
A sense of foreboding grew within him.
He gulped as he glanced at the two police officers standing behind Shen Liangchuan. Without a word, Shen Liangchuan took the marriage certificate from him and walked towards the villa with the police officers.
Shen Liangchuan hit the doorbell.
Very quickly, one of the housekeepers came, opened the door and ushered Shen Liangchuan and the police officers into the house.
Upon entering the living room, he saw Qiao Lian sitting on the sofa, still in her costume from the set. He was relieved to see her, but frowned deeply nevertheless.
Lu Nanze, too, was sitting on the sofa; he had a leg crossed over the other. He looked at them with a calm and unruffled expression.
That smile—both evil and charming at once—hung on his face effortlessly. “To what do I owe the honor of your visit, Mr. Shen? How may I help you?”
His eyes shifted to rest on the two police officers.
The two police officers immediately laughed and said, “How are you, Mr. Lu?”
Lu Nanze nodded at them before turning to Shen Liangchuan rather abruptly.
His stare was openly unwelcoming, but he didn’t give an order to kick him out. At the same time, however, Shen Liangchuan was not looking at him and instead had his attention focused on the woman next to him.
He didn’t have to look to know that Qiao Lian was also looking back at Shen Liangchuan.
Lu Nanze suddenly felt an extreme urge. He extended his arm in a quick motion, in an attempt to draw Qiao Lian into his embrace.
But, of course, they were no longer in the confined space of a car.
The moment he extended his arm, Qiao Lian jumped up at once.
At the same time, Shen Liangchuan reached out with his hand, grabbed Qiao Lian’s arm and pulled her into his embrace.
Only now when in contact Shen Liangchuan realized that, although Qiao Lian looked calm on the surface, her body was actually trembling. It told him how frightened she was!
Instantly, he glared sharply at Lu Nanze as he held Qiao Lian against himself.
As Lu Nanze looked at them, his devilishly charming eyes flashed dangerously, as though he had a bloodthirsty intent to kill. The smile spread wider across his face.
Shen Liangchuan finally said, “I’m here for my woman.”
Lu Nanze chortled at his words and sneered, “Your woman, you said? That’s interesting. In all of Jiangnan, who doesn’t know that she, Qiao Lian, was mine the minute she entered this world?!”
Shen Liangchuan’s pupils shrank.
Lu Nanze continued, “So is there anything else I can help you with? If not, take your hand off my woman and leave my property!”
His tone was exceedingly aggressive as he specifically emphasized on the words “my woman”.
The police officers both took a step forward at this point and looked at Shen Liangchuan, saying, “Best Actor Shen, why not—”
Shen Liangchuan did not wait for them to finish. “Since this is the case, I’ll take my leave.”
After these words, he turned around with his hand wrapped around Qiao Lian and started to walk towards the door.
Lu Nanze got up from his seat immediately. “Stop right there!”
Although Shen Liangchuan simply ignored this order, both police officers, fiercely glared at by Lu Nanze, hurried over to the door to stop the couple. “Best Actor Shen—”
Shen Liangchuan halted and said, “What other pieces of wisdom do you wish to share with us, Mr. Lu?”
Lu Nanze stared at him for a moment before he suddenly laughed. “Mr. Shen here claims that Qiao Lian is his woman, yet I insist that she’s mine. Why don’t we ask her whose woman she is?”
As these words were spoken, every pair of eyes simultaneously fell on Qiao Lian.
Feeling everyone’s gaze burning on her now, she was able to gather her courage and lift her head slowly.
