Lin Bin and Lin Xu looked at Lin Qi at the same time.

"Brother, Shu Xia isn't that important to us, and whether she is my sister or not doesn't matter either. It's her own bad luck that she was swapped at birth. It has nothing to do with us. But now, if she really is colluding with outsiders to strike at our family company, then she is ungrateful. After all, she lived quite well during the time she was in the Lin Family," Lin Bin said in an icy tone.

Lin Xu said, "I've said it before, I only have one sister, and that sister is Miaomiao. I don't care how she views us! If it weren't for the fact that we can't kill people, I would want to strangle her right now."

Seeing their attitudes, Lin Qi thought back to the attitudes of his parents and Lin Miao when he left home just now.

Even now, the whole family believed it was Shu Xia's fault.

They all believed that Shu Xia should listen to them and be controlled by them in every way.

Lin Qi tightened his lips and asked in a deep voice, "If you can think this way, then Shu Xia has the same thoughts. She used to treat us like family, but now she treats us like enemies. You go and order her to do things—do you think she will listen?"

Lin Xu and Lin Bin were both stunned.

However, their expressions shifted quickly.

"It doesn't matter how she views us; the blood flowing in her bones is that of the Lin Family," Lin Bin said coldly.

Lin Xu snorted, "She is living very comfortably now. Look at where she is working? That is Gu Lao's team. Even if our family exhausted everything we have, we might not be able to get her in."

Knowing that further talk was useless, Lin Qi said no more.

He only hoped that things were not as he thought.

He hoped that Shu Xia still cared about her brothers.

The Lin Family.

Chen Xiuyue was feeling restless.

She sat in the living room, fiddling with her phone to check the time.

"At this hour, your brothers should have arrived already. I wonder how their talk with Shu Xia went? How did Shu Xia become like this? If she really did find people to target our family company, then she is truly being outrageous."

Lin Miao could not settle her mind either; she had not been feeling well these past two days, so she could only stay at home.

She actually wanted to follow them; she wanted to know who Shu Xia's benefactor was.

"Mom, is our family company really facing such big trouble?" Lin Miao asked.

Chen Xiuyue sighed, "Your father said the company is facing the risk of bankruptcy, and he had people look into the person behind Shu Xia, but they couldn't find anything. This situation might have something to do with Jiang Tu and his group."

"Jiang Tu?" Lin Miao's eyes lit up.

She knew Jiang Tu. Jiang Tu, Qiao Muting, and Gu Jianzhang were all good friends; that was a social circle in Jing City that many people wanted to break into.

It was not something their Lin Family could compare to.

"Yes, but it probably isn't Jiang Tu. Any woman around Jiang Tu can be captured by news media, and Gu Jianzhang also has a fiancée. It will only be easier to resolve this matter once your brothers confirm who it is. Our family company cannot fall! That is your father's hard work of many years," Chen Xiuyue said, her brow furrowed with worry.

Thinking about how Shu Xia wouldn't answer her calls now and was so cold toward her, she felt uncomfortable inside.

Lin Miao rolled her eyes, "Mom, I should go take a look. I just feel like my brothers won't be able to handle this. My sister and I have some misunderstandings that we can resolve face-to-face; maybe I can ask it out of her."

"That's fine, you go."

——

After Shu Xia clocked in, she was informed that Gu Lao wanted to see her.

When she entered Gu Lao's office, Gu Lao was on the phone.

"I am old now. To be honest, I don't think I can handle this kind of extremely complex and precise restoration anymore, but there is a young person on my team who might be able to."
