Chapter 164 - 164 165 Quarrel (8)_1
?Chapter 164: Chapter 165 Quarrel (8)_1 Chapter 164: Chapter 165 Quarrel (8)_1 Jing Haohao heard the door chime, and it took her a few moments to respond. She slowly extended her hand, pulling up the quilt to cover herself. She closed her eyes and the images that filled her mind were of the times on the bustling streets when she and Shen Liangnian had looked at each other. She could vividly see the expression in Shen Liangnian’s eyes.
Shen Liangnian’s eyes had looked at her angrily, lovingly, bewitchingly, and anxiously… But Shen Liangnian had never looked at her with shocked, incredulous and surprised eyes.
He must have been shocked. The woman he had loved for so many years was sitting in another man’s car in the middle of the night.
As these thoughts filled her mind, Jing Haohao could not help but pull the quilt over her head.
Then, tears began to fall, one by one.
…
Liang Chen walked to his car, only to find that he had forgotten his phone. So, he turned around to fetch it.
He opened his bedroom door and went straight to the bathroom, pulling his phone out of the pocket of the clothes in the laundry basket. On his way out, he took a quick glance at Jing Haohao on his bed.
She was under the blanket, had wrapped herself tightly and was curled into a small ball, shaking uncontrollably. Occasionally, small sobbing sounds could be heard.
Liang Chen gripped his phone tightly and grunted through his nostrils. Without another word, he turned and left the room.
Who was the one that first laid eyes on her and thought that she was soft and delicate and vulnerable like a flower? Well, they couldn’t have been more wrong. She’s stubborn as a bull!
As Liang Chen descended the stairs and left the house, he paused, turned his head, and told Nanny Lin, “Go upstairs and check on her!”
Then he opened the door, got in his car, stomped on the gas, and disappeared from the villa.
…
As Nanny Lin heard Liang Chen’s instructions, she hurried upstairs and, upon entering the room, noticed the floor covered in shards of glass.
Looking at Jing Haohao, curled up under the quilt, shaking and sobbing, she wondered what had happened.
Nanny Lin let out a sigh, walked to the edge of the bed and gently shook the quilt, “Miss Jing?”
Jing Haohao did not respond to Nanny Lin, but remained underneath the quilt.
Nanny Lin pulled back the quilt forcefully, revealing Jing Haohao’s body, covered in bruises; the sight took her breath away.
How much strength had Mr. Chen used to cause such horrendous injuries on this delicate young woman?
Nanny Lin quickly fetched some ointment. As she was applying it onto Jing Haohao, she took a glance at her tear-streaked face and sighed sympathetically, “Miss Jing, Mr. Chen has a bad temper. Why don’t you just appease him instead of suffering like this?”
Jing Haohao pursed her lips and did not speak a word.
Just as Nanny Lin was about to continue to persuade Jing Haohao, the landline in the bedroom rang.
Nanny Lin stood up and picked up the call, “Hello, this is Liang Family’s residence.”
After a pause, Nanny Lin passed the phone to Jing Haohao. Jing Haohao took a puzzled look at Nanny Lin; she was living in Liang Chen’s villa which was a secret, who was it that knew to call her here?
Jing Haohao accepted the phone and said softly, “Hello”. The familiar voice of Shen Liangnian came through, “Haohao?”
