C40 Misunderstanding

She was a little worried and hesitated for a moment before calling Sheng Liang: "Where are you, I want to ask you, why is Qiao Nan's phone unanswered?"

Because he was nervous, Qiao Xuan's tone was not very good, and carried some interrogation.

She didn't check if her family was really safe and on both occasions, it was Qiao Nan who called her, but who could guarantee that it wasn't Qiao Nan who only pretended to be fine when she was threatened?

Sheng Liang remained silent for a while before replying, "They are very safe."

With just these few words, and without even a single explanation, Qiao Xuan coldly laughed and said: "On what basis should I believe you? I must see them now, if not, I will stop my cooperation with you!"

After a long while, Sheng Liang finally said calmly, "Qiao Xuan, if I really want to do something, do you think you can stop me?"

Qiao Xuan's heart sank, as she suddenly realized something. She thought that compared to her parents' safety, the so-called weakness of Sheng Liang, was not even worth mentioning. In truth, from beginning to end, Sheng Liang was the only one who could control her.

Her palms continuously tightened, and her nails almost dug into her flesh. Her lips trembled twice, and she said with a trembling voice, "I only want them to be safe, Sheng Liang, I can listen to anything you say …"

When Sheng Liang heard her teary voice, he did not give her a reply, and directly hung up.

Luo Jie turned his head in the front and looked at Sheng Liang, then carefully said: "Young Master Liang, in fact, you can tell Miss Qiao that we are rushing to the new meeting city, and will see her family soon, so she does not need to be so worried. Also, we are protecting her family's safety, not threatening her, she cannot misunderstand you."

"You talk too much." Sheng Liang's body shrunk back into the carriage and he closed his eyes.

Luo Jie curled his lips helplessly, looking at the sky outside, the sky was about to turn dark.

The New Meet City and Sang City were neighbors, and was a city famous for its farming. From the moment they entered the city, they could see all sorts of vegetation, and flowers of all colors bloomed on both sides of the road.

Back then, they had chosen this place because Sheng Hua was allergic to pollen. As long as he didn't come personally, they would have a way to take care of everyone else.

The car stopped in front of a house, and the driver waited outside. Luo Jie followed Sheng Liang inside.

A warm light shone through the window, illuminating the courtyard like a soft moonlight.

Sheng Liang walked to the door and smelled the fragrance of food inside. He could also hear Qiao Nan's laughter, which was making fun of the Qiao family's parents.

Luo Jie lightly knocked on the door. It was Qiao Xuan's mother who opened the door, and when she saw Sheng Liang, she was a little surprised: "You've returned, then where's Little Jun, is she alright?"

Sheng Liang shook his head: "Let's go in first."

Sheng Liang's expression and words made the Qiao family's mother unconsciously tensed up. She placed one hand on her chest, and stiffly moved her body a little distance away.

Seeing her expression, Luo Jie couldn't help but laugh: "Miss Qiao is fine. We just returned home, and she's resting at home. She said that it will be Qiao Nan's birthday in two days, so we Young Master Liang came over to make the arrangements in advance."

When the Qiao’s mother heard Luo Jie, he calmed down and smiled as he welcomed them inside. He even shouted out towards the inside, "Old man, Xiao Nan, quickly look who's here!"

They were eating, and when they saw Sheng Liang, they immediately stood up, especially Qiao Nan, who came over and pulled his arm and said: "Brother-in-law, you still haven't eaten, quickly sit down, it's normal at home, don't look down on me."
