Chapter 151

Her face turned deathly pale with anger, "You all just wait!"

She stomped away in her high heels, fuming.

After walking a distance away, she picked up her phone and called Jiang Ye.

"Auntie Jiang, I just ran into Shu Xia and Shu Hong. Without a word, they teamed up to scold and hit me. The clothes I was wearing were kicked until they were dirty, and even my phone screen was shattered. The places where I was hit still hurt a lot. They are just too much."

"Why did they hit you?" Jiang Ye's voice came through the phone, sounding very cold.

Lin Miao was stunned, "I'm not sure either. Maybe Shu Xia and Shu Hong were bad-mouthing me, and then Shu Hong hit me."

"They wouldn't hit people for no reason. It must be that you went too far. Don't call me again so casually," Jiang Ye said indifferently.

Lin Miao was surprised, "You are my biological mother, why won't you defend me?"

"You don't even call me 'Mom'. Even if I gave birth to you, there is no reason for me to unconditionally defend you. First of all, you have never truly faced your real background," Jiang Ye ruthlessly exposed Lin Miao's hypocrisy.

"I..."

The call was disconnected.

Lin Miao was so angry she wanted to throw her phone away, "You are just a village woman, what right do you have to be my mother? If you had properly curried favor with me, I might have been willing to call you 'Auntie'!"

She was so unlucky today!

"Is it Miss Lin? Do you have time to sit down and chat?"

Shen Anran called out to Lin Miao, who was busy complaining.

Lin Miao turned around stiffly, looking at Shen Anran in astonishment, "Is Miss Shen calling me?"

Shen Anran smiled elegantly, masking the contempt in her eyes, "Yes, it's Miss Lin."

"Okay!" Lin Miao was simply overjoyed.

If she told her friends that she knew Shen Anran, they would definitely be very surprised and envious.

If she could get Shen Anran to use her connections to help the Lin Family get through their current difficulties, that would be even better.

Shu Xia took Shu Hong to the supermarket on the basement level again to buy some things he liked to eat.

When it was almost time for work, she called a car for Shu Hong.

The sister and brother parted reluctantly.

Just as she was about to enter the building, Gu Cheng called her.

"You haven't come to see me for two days."

Shu Xia expressed a little apology, "I've been too busy these past two days. I'll come to see you after work today. Is there anything you want to eat? I'll buy it on my way."

"My uncle bought me a pile of things; I'm not lacking anything. You just need to come yourself," Gu Cheng projected the vibe of a pitiful little child whom no one cared about.

Shu Xia chuckled, "Alright, I'll come over after work."

It seemed that while Gu Cheng had been hospitalized these days, no one had visited him; it was all caregivers looking after him.

Must say, he really was a pitiful little child.

Qiao Group.

Conference room.

After both sides signed the contract, Gu Jianzhang and Qiao Muting went to the CEO's office.

"I didn't go to Jiang Tu's birthday party that day. I heard him say you brought a girl named Shu Xia along? Why didn't I see her today?" Gu Jianzhang asked directly after sitting down.

Qiao Muting took a sip of coffee, "Do you like gossip too?"

Gu Jianzhang also picked up his coffee, "It's not that I'm gossiping, but there is a particularly coincidental matter. You know Gu Cheng, right? My nephew. He's recently taken a liking to a girl. That girl used her own ability to get into my father's team. My father has set his heart on that girl as his granddaughter-in-law, and she has the same name as the girl you brought that day—also called Shu Xia."
