Chapter 720: Chapter 719: Tragic Scene _1 Chapter 720: Chapter 719: Tragic Scene _1 Empty cans and instant noodle boxes were scattered about, and noodles were strewn all over the floor.

In Shen Sichen’s hand was a fresh newspaper, and with a pen, he was circling through different sections in search of a job.

As he glanced over the other newspapers on the ground, a face on one of them stopped him in his tracks.

Despite not having seen her for more than a year, he instantly recognized her. It was Qiao Xiaren.

She had become even more beautiful, radiant and elegant. Everyone compared to Qiao Xiaren seemed like night and day.

The same people who had left Shanshui Town together, now seem so different.

There was a lot of news about Qiao Xiaren this year; it was impossible not to know.

When her dating news broke out, he didn’t believe it initially, but now he had no choice. It turned out, she truthfully was dating Si Limo.

Shen Sichen found it unbelievable – the woman was cold-hearted, ruthless, and poisonous, how could Si Limo like such a woman? Or did they just want a change of taste?

In the end, all men like womanly women like Qiao Chu with her tender and gentle temperament.

Qiao Xiaren’s character is too harsh, not appeasing. He still prefers girls like Qiao Anchu, kind-hearted, stubborn, persistent, and somewhat innocent.

But thinking about his circumstances right now, all Shen Sichen could do is painfully smile.

Comparing people’s destiny, they are truly worlds apart.

“Senior Brother!” A flustered Ye Mohan rushed in from outside, seeing Shen Sichen hurriedly hiding the newspaper, he couldn’t help but frown, “What are you hiding, why are you so panicked?”

“Nothing, just some entertainment news,” replied Shen Sichen in a calm tone, his feelings a tangled mess. Seeing Ye Mohan returning alone, he casually asked, “Where’s Anchu, why isn’t she with you?”

Shen Sichen still found it awkward to call her by the new name Liu Ou.

“I haven’t seen her in several days. I have no idea what Anchu is up to, we hardly see her anymore.”

Ye Mohan frowned, his words tinged with bitterness.

Shen Sichen looked puzzled, “Mo Han, don’t you think Anchu is acting secretive since she returned from H Country? She’s even distancing herself from us, like she’s communicating with someone.”

Ye Mohan, of course, felt the same, but he never directly asked her.

In the midst of their conversation, sudden heavy banging at the door caused Ye Mohan to jump, but Shen Sichen only glanced at him quietly and got up to check.

The door was weak, it didn’t take much to break it down, and then a sizeable group of people rushed in.

Looking at the door lying on the ground, a vein visibly threatening to pop on Shen Sichen’s forehead, “Who are you guys?”

The leader was a thug, oozing an unpleasant vibe. He had brought a whole group and was brandishing a weapon.

“Is this Ye Mohan’s place?”

Ye Mohan tensed up as his name was spoken, and looking up, he recognized the familiar faces.

“What do you want with Ye Mohan?” Shen Sichen maintained his composure, asking them directly.

“What do we want? We’re here for money,” the leader sneered, waving his weapon, “Listen, if the money he owes us from a few days ago isn’t paid back today, we’re taking his legs.”

Usurious loan, Ye Mohan borrowed a usurious loan? Shen Sichen turned to look at him instinctively, feeling a shock to his core: “Mo Han, you…”
