She paused for a moment and then said, “Goodbye, Mr . Shen . ”
Hanging up, her expression was calm once again .
It seemed that they had never been meant to be .
Although she was poor, her love did not carry a price tag .
What she wanted was a mutually respectful relationship, not be looked down on .
Four days later, Xia Yehua had recovered enough to be discharged and return home, where she would continue with her treatment .

Qiao Lian prepared a guest room for Xia Nuannuan and left the girl to rest alone before she went to check on Xia Yehua’s condition .
Her condition had improved over the last four days, and she had regained sensation on the right side of her body . Even when she spoke, her words were clear . Overall, it was a great improvement .
After seeing Xia Yehua, she went to the study to look for Shen Liangchuan . As she pushed the door to the study, she saw that he was on a video conference with his back to her .
Song Cheng was on the screen reporting the latest developments, “… for Ambition’ s production, Lu Nanze has withdrawn his capital . But the production isn’t suffering any losses . The leading actress has been replaced by Best Actress Tang Ying . Apart from that, the other investments that you mentioned… Brother Shen, are we really moving in the direction of property investments? After all, it’s hard to predict market forces . What if we suffer a loss—”
Shen Liangchuan replied unhurriedly, “We’re investing for sure . ”
Song Cheng felt at a loss . “Brother Shen, I recall that when I suggested other types of investments years ago, you said you were happy just by having enough to spend . But what are you doing now? Trying to make a quick buck?!”
Shen Liangchuan cast his gaze down and kept silent .
But he thought to himself that it had indeed been the case… before he met Lu Nanze .

He was happy with having just enough to spend .
But now, if he didn’t grow stronger, how was he going to protect her?
This time he had been able to depend on his childhood friends for help .
But favours had to be returned .
And what could he really give in return?
His buddies believed in him . He attracted capital, they invested .
Even if there were no kickbacks, or even if they lost that money, it was nothing to them .
But he could not use their money without a clear conscience .

He had to use this money to make more money, so that there was at some value in their investment . At least, it had to be a real investment .
It was also so that the people who laughed at them would now shut their mouths .
Without explaining all of this, he simply told Song Cheng, “You may go now . ”
Without another word, the latter obediently exited the video conference .
Qiao Lian stood outside the door, biting her lip as she heard the exchange between the two men .
She understood everything that he had not said, everything that was between the lines .
He was willing to make changes for her .
Hence, she had to work hard too .
Silently, Qiao Lian retreated . She did not enter the study, but went back to the master bedroom .
Only when she was back in the master bedroom did she take out her cell phone .
It had been almost half a month since she had resigned from her job . During this time, too much had happened at home, to the point that she had failed to think about her own future .
But now…
It was time for her to think about what she could do .
She didn’t want to be a person who had to depend on Shen Liangchuan, like a parasite . She had to grow stronger too .
The team’s training was being well taken care of by the team leader now . As for her, she had to start looking for a job .
