Chapter 26: Thrilling

Shen Manru frowned imperceptibly. What was going on tonight? Xiao Yu had come home and greeted her, only to rush off to the Bai family again.

Her son hadn't come back with Qiaoqiao—what exactly had happened?

Gu Qiaoqiao obviously had no intention to spare a thought for Shen Manru's feelings. She nodded to Chu Chengfeng and then retreated to her room.

The night had been chilling and harrowing.
