Chapter 14

“It seems that we came at the wrong time today. Old Song, didn’t you say that you have an important meeting later? Let’s go back first and visit another day.” Madam Song looked at her husband.

“I almost forgot if you didn’t tell me. Shiming, we’ll go back first.” Mr. Song got up and walked towards the door.

“Okay, okay. I’ll pay you a personal visit in a few days,” Lin replied awkwardly.

Madam Son released her hand and pulled her son.

“Song Yan, we’re leaving.”

Song Yan suddenly shook off Madam Song’s hand and held Shi Qian’s shoulder.

Seeing the handprint on her face, his eyes filled with heartache.

“What’s going on, Qian Qian? Are you in some kind of trouble? Tell me and I’ll protect you, okay?”

The words of concern were stuck in Shi Qian’s throat.

As a child, Song Yan had often told her the same thing.

She relied on her brother next door more than her father.

Shi Qian pushed Song Yan’s hand away and turned to Lin Shiming.

“I’m just here to ask if Su Youwei will give me the money or not.”

Su Youwei suddenly pounced on Lin Shiming and sobbed in his arms.

It was as if she had suffered a great grievance.

Without a word, she waited for Lin Shiming to back her up.

“Shi Qian, are you trying to extort me? Who gave you the guts to strut around in the Lin family!” Lin Shiming shouted angrily.

“Okay, you’re not giving it to me, are you?” Shi Qian smiled and nodded. She didn’t want to waste any more time. “Then we’ll see!”

With that, Shi Qian left quickly.

“Qian Qian!” Song Yan immediately chased after her.

Hearing the call behind her, Shi Qian quickened her pace.

As soon as she ran out of the Lin family’s door, Song Yan grabbed her.

“Qian Qian, don’t go!” Song Yan lost control and pulled her into his arms.

“Don’t leave me again, okay? I lost track of you not long after I left the country. Do you know how much I’ve missed you all these years?”

“Qian Qian, I’ve looked for you a few times when I returned to the country, but I couldn’t find any news of you! Where exactly have you been?”

Shi Qian did not know why she had met Song Yan under such circumstances.

This young man who had warmed her entire childhood was her best fantasy.

She had actually met him again under such unbearable circumstances.

All she wanted to do was escape.

The farther the better!

She struggled, but Song Yan tightened his grip.

As if she was some cherished treasure.

If he let go, she would disappear.

Her heart clenched, and then a strong pain swept through her.

The pain almost choked her!

“Why didn’t you come back earlier? Why didn’t you show up in front of me yesterday, even if it was a little earlier?” Shi Qian said and swallowed hard.

Song Yan didn’t understand what was going on.

“I’ve been entrusting Aunt Su to look for you.”

Shi Qian immediately understood.

How could Su Youwei let Song Yan find her!

She looked at the car parked at the side. Jiang Feng looked in their direction in surprise.

He used all his strength to push Song Yan away.

“Brother Yan! She’s already married!” Lin Qinghe caught up and pulled Song Yan’s arm. “She married a vegetable for money!”

Song Yan’s eyes were filled with shock and heartache.

“Qian Qian, is what she said true?” Song Yanchao asked.

“Yes.” Shi Qian nodded, but tears fell uncontrollably.

She turned stubbornly. “I have things to do. I have to go.”

As soon as she got into the car, she said to Jiang Feng, “Drive.”

Without another word, Jiang Feng started the car and disappeared around the corner.

Shi Qian clasped his hands tightly. She could not even look in the rearview mirror.

She was afraid of seeing Song Yan.

Everything was a foregone conclusion.
