Song Qinian is now half a celebrity in the entertainment industry. Her own comic has become popular and adapted into a film currently in production.
She also participated in a show about mother-in-law relationships with Gu Zhiyan. Following the broadcast of "Spicy Mother-in-Law," her popularity and buzz have been very high.
Moreover, she is Shen Chiyan's wife.
Many netizens dug up that Lin Qiutong and Shen Chiyan used the reason of being childhood sweethearts when they were trending on hot searches, and at that time, Shen Chiyan and Song Qinian were already married.
For a time, in addition to various gossip about relationships, many people imagined a series of conspiracies and schemes involving Lin Qiutong and Song Guanliang.
When Song Qinian was escorted into the courthouse by Shen Chiyan, she happened to run into Shen Qiwen, who was talking with Lin Qiutong's lawyer.
Upon seeing Shen Chiyan, the lawyer subconsciously flinched. Shen Chiyan had already made it known that the entire legal profession dared not take Lin Qiutong's case. The only reasons he accepted this hot potato were firstly, the Lin family offered him a lot of money, and secondly, if he could become famous with this case, his reputation in the legal world would soar, and his future would be limitless.
As the saying goes, wealth is sought in danger. Instead of living a mediocre life, it's better to go all out.
Although he thought this way, he was still a little scared when he saw Shen Chiyan, because Shen Chiyan's aura was too powerful, especially when those dark eyes swept over, making people break out in a cold sweat.
After guiltily nodding at Shen Chiyan, the lawyer quickly left.
Seeing the two, a flash of coldness crossed Shen Qiwen's eyes. Just then, Liu Xiaohan arrived. While Song Qinian was talking to Liu Xiaohan, Shen Qiwen approached Shen Chiyan.
"Brother, do you really want to drive Tongtong to a dead end?"
Shen Qiwen was so worried about Lin Qiutong's affairs that he lost a lot of weight in just a few days, completely losing his usual vibrant appearance.
Shen Chiyan said expressionlessly, "It's not that I want to drive her to a dead end, but she has done many unforgivable things and should pay the price for them."
Shen Chiyan said angrily, "She just likes you, what's her mistake?"
"Likes me?"
Shen Chiyan sneered, "Does liking me give her the right to harm others? She framed Song Guanliang, making him spend three years in prison for nothing, causing me to misunderstand Qiqi for three years, and then she showed no remorse, harmed Qiqi, and plotted against me! Shen Qiwen, do you dare to say that you have nothing to do with Lin Qiutong becoming this way?"
Shen Qiwen's face turned extremely ugly. He clenched his fists, his eyes bloodshot with intense hatred, "What if it were Song Qinian? If Song Qinian made a mistake, would you call the police and arrest her? Would you send her to prison?"
Shen Chiyan glanced at Song Qinian not far away. It was probably time for the hearing, and she appeared unusually nervous. She was currently video calling with Song Jiashu.
"Don't worry, we've gathered most of the evidence. Father will definitely be cleared of his charges this time."
"Yes, Sis, you've worked hard. I'll be back during the summer vacation."
"Okay, I'll wait for you at home with Mom and Dad."
Shen Chiyan kept staring at Song Qinian, then suddenly let out a laugh, "Qiqi is not a perfect person, of course she makes mistakes, but she would never do anything that harms others and benefits herself. She would never harm others for her own gain. So, your question is fundamentally flawed."
Shen Qiwen sneered, "Is that so? Or are you simply afraid to answer?"
Shen Chiyan cast a cold glance at Shen Qiwen.
Shen Qiwen shrugged, "You have people you protect, and I have people I want to protect. Brother, I won't lose."
After Shen Qiwen finished speaking, he left. Shen Chiyan watched his retreating figure, his brows furrowed slightly.
When the hearing began, the Lin family couple did not show up, but Lin Qiutong's agent and Lin Lanxing did.
Lin Lanxing was dressed in black and wore a large sun hat and sunglasses that covered half of her face.
Liu Xiaohan appeared very nervous, holding Song Qinian's hand and murmuring in her ear.
"Niannian, is everything really okay? What if they pull some more tricks? I can't lose your father again."
Song Qinian looked back at Liu Xiaohan and noticed that she had changed.
Five years ago, when Song Guanliang was framed and imprisoned, although Liu Xiaohan was very nervous and scared in the gallery, her fear was not because she had lost her husband, but rather what would happen to her in the future if Song Guanliang went to prison.
Although Song Guanliang's salary was not high, he was truly good to Liu Xiaohan.
In their over twenty years of marriage, Song Guanliang had never let Liu Xiaohan cook. Whatever Liu Xiaohan wanted, no matter how expensive, Song Guanliang would work extra jobs to buy it for her.
Life as a wealthy socialite, though affluent, still involved worries about whether the husband had other women, or if illegitimate children would suddenly appear to compete for family inheritance with their own children.
Liu Xiaohan had none of these worries; she only needed to be beautiful.
With Song Guanliang imprisoned under such circumstances, how could Liu Xiaohan not be afraid?
But now it was different. Her worry and fear were no longer about losing her good life, but a pure concern for Song Guanliang himself.
Song Qinian felt a little relieved and smiled reassuringly at her, "Don't worry, everything will be alright this time."
Song Qinian's comfort had a slight effect, and Liu Xiaohan was no longer as nervous as before. Suddenly, she realized a gaze was fixed on her. She instinctively looked and saw Shen Chiyan constantly looking at her, and then at her hand holding Song Qinian's.
Liu Xiaohan instantly understood something and immediately let go of Song Qinian.
Then she saw Shen Chiyan hold Song Qinian's hands, gently pull her closer into his embrace, and whisper, "I'm here, don't be afraid."
Liu Xiaohan: "..."
No wonder he was staring at her with a resentful gaze just now, he wanted to hold Niannian's hand.
Liu Xiaohan was still confused about Shen Chiyan and Song Qinian's relationship.
Every time she thought they were finished, they would get back together.
Every time she breathed a sigh of relief, thinking her daughter's position in the Shen family was secure, they would break up again.
Before, Song Qinian had even brought Li Junshen home, and they had a child. After they went on a trip, Niannian told them that Zaan was Shen Chiyan's son, and that she was now back with Shen Chiyan, and nothing had happened between her and Li Junshen.
Liu Xiaohan didn't know what had happened in between, but for her, her daughter's happiness was enough.
She had made so many mistakes before. Now, seeing her husband return safely and her daughter and son healthy and happy, she was already content.
Lin Lanxing, who was not far away, glanced at Shen Chiyan and Song Qinian. Seeing Shen Chiyan clinging to Song Qinian, she curled her lips and let out a soft哼.
She wondered if Lin Qiutong would be so angered that she would die even before the trial, upon seeing this scene later.
