316. Chapter 316: Not Looking Anymore, Sun Shuisheng's First Love Returns

Qiao Sheng, I'm not planning to look for him anymore.

Cheng Xianglan lifted her gaze and said to Qiao Sheng.

Her age isn't really great, yet her heart is already in decline.

Qiao Sheng spoke: "If you don't intend to look, then don't. A man isn't indispensable; you have money and a son, which compared to many people is already quite good."

"Right, I think so too."

Cheng Xianglan gave a faint smile and said.

As more and more people arrived.

Before long, several tables were completely filled.

During the meal.

Yun Tian began offering toast from the main hall; after toasting those inside, he came out to toast Qiao Sheng and the others sitting outside.

When he reached their table.

Cheng Xianglan was the first to reach for the wine, took it and drank it down without comment, then said, "Congratulations to you and your wife for a hundred years of harmony, may you soon bear a noble child."

Even though the two of them had already moved on.

Yun Tian heard her say that and still found the words a bit harsh.

They originally had two children, but none were born; had they been born, the older one would probably have run away by now.

Yun Tian's hand subconsciously tightened.

Qiao Sheng observed Yun Tian's reaction, lifted a cup of wine, and in a moderate tone congratulated him: "Yun Tian, I also congratulate you and your wife on a hundred years of harmony, may you soon bear a noble child!"

"Thank you both."

Yun Tian thanked with an expressionless face.

After he left.

Qiao Sheng sat down and served dishes to Cheng Xianglan.

After the meal.

Both of them ate little, and after the meal they left.

Yun Tian's mother, Shi Shi, had originally intended to come over and make a few snide remarks to Qiao Sheng, but since they left so quickly she couldn't get the words out, which inevitably made her feel uneasy.

She came before Yun Tian and said, "Second son, you now realize that what I, your mother, said was correct, right? They are simply not suitable for you, they…"

"Are you done speaking? If you're finished, go eat your meal!"

Yun Tian didn't want to talk with her any further.

Now, aside from giving her some money each month, he rarely pays her any attention at other times.

Shi Yun was so furious that he could do nothing to him.

One afternoon a few days later.

Qiao Sheng was just about to go to her usual resting room when a junior servant from the building ran to tell her that Zhang Qiao had arrived and was waiting for her in the outer lobby.

Qiao Sheng stepped out.

Zhang Qiao was sitting at a table by the window.

When Qiao Sheng approached, she lowered her head.

"Qiao Er."

"Lianhua."

Zhang Qiao lifted her gaze, her eyes reddened.

Qiao Sheng furrowed her brows: "What's wrong with you?"

Zhang Qiao didn't hide anything from Qiao Sheng; she recounted what had happened this morning: "The woman Sun Shuisheng liked before didn't die; she's back."

"And then?"

Qiao Sheng thought to herself, could Sun Shuisheng be planning to marry that woman home?

Zhang Qiao pressed her lips together and began to tell.

Yangmei was sent to our shop by someone; she had been riding an ox-drawn cart, and midway the ox went mad. She, like the others, fell off a cliff, but she didn't die and was rescued…

She was unconscious for several days, only waking up and recalling what had happened before.

Her family didn't want to take care of her, so they sent her to us.

Qiao Sheng fixed her gaze on Zhang Qiao and asked, "How did Sun Shuisheng react?"

She listened.

Zhang Qiao showed an ugly smile and said, "What other reaction could he have? Of course he felt pity; without even asking me a single question, he hired a doctor for her and arranged for her to be taken home for care."

"Divorce, then!"

Qiao Sheng had wanted to advise her before, but upon thinking she didn't say it; now that Sun Shuisheng is becoming more and more overbearing, how could she still endure it?
