Chapter 184

The four of them were driven out of the Gu Corporation Building.

The head of security even viciously threatened them, telling them not to come again.

If they were found in front of the building, he would call the police.

If a scandal broke out then, their Lin Family would completely lose face in Jing City.

The four of them returned to the car, looking dejected.

Lin Bin, who was sitting in the driver's seat, slammed the steering wheel twice.

After being proud for so many years, they had lost more and more face during this period; today, even a head of security could point at his nose and threaten him!

"Are those people blind? I've already made it very clear, yet they are still protecting Shu Xia; Shu Xia must have spent a lot of time currying favor with them," Lin Miao said, her face full of anger and resentment.

Because she was too resentful, she momentarily forgot to hide her thoughts.

Lin Xu was stunned when he saw the shocking hatred in Lin Miao's eyes.

Miaomiao had always been kind and timid.

But the current Miaomiao looked as if she wanted to kill Shu Xia; her whole demeanor was ferocious.

"It's not working with Shu Xia, let's keep looking for people to investigate," Lin Qi sighed helplessly, glancing at the time, "I have to go to work now, I'll go talk to Shu Xuan again to see if he knows anything."

"I know someone who might know something, I'll go find her," Lin Miao suddenly thought of Shen Anran.

The last time they met, Shen Anran asked her all sorts of questions, all about Shu Xia; she hadn't thought much of it at the time, but thinking about it now, Shen Anran must know who the person keeping Shu Xia is.

Otherwise, why would she waste time with her?

She hadn't thought that much before, but now she realized she might have been used.

She was not willing to be used.

After Gu Cheng was discharged from the hospital and returned home, he had been lying on the bed, feeling very bored, watching TV or playing on his phone, or otherwise, the old man would throw thick books at him.

Occasionally, teachers would also come over to give him lessons.

It was too boring.

He wanted to see Shu Xia, but he couldn't let Shu Xia come to his house; Shu Xia still didn't know that he was the old man's grandson.

He had never missed or liked a girl as much as he did now.

Bored, he called the old man.

"Grandpa, what is Shu Xia busy with? What kind of work did you arrange for her? Why is she too busy to reply to my WeChat?"

Gu Lao frowned: "You aren't good enough for Shu Xia, put away thoughts you shouldn't have, don't go looking for her randomly; look at you, bored and chatting on WeChat, Shu Xia doesn't even have time to look at her phone while at work, you two are not people from the same world, don't try to get together."

"Are you my real grandpa?! Have you been possessed? Didn't you want Shu Xia to be your granddaughter-in-law? What, I just had surgery, I'm not paralyzed, is it worth it for you to attack me like this?" Gu Cheng was so angry he wanted to jump off the bed.

He wanted to head straight to his grandfather's presence.

To properly ask the old man if he had taken the wrong medicine these past two days.

Otherwise, why attack him?

"It has nothing to do with whether I am your grandfather; you should dispel these inappropriate thoughts as soon as possible, you and Shu Xia are impossible," Gu Lao said in a heartless tone and hung up the phone directly.

Gu Cheng gritted his teeth in anger; why did it feel like the old man disliked him even more than before?

He glanced at the book placed to the side, gritted his teeth, and couldn't help but open it.

He would be good enough for Shu Xia!

After work, Shu Xia went to Laozhai first.

After having dinner with Qiao Nainai, she returned to Xinghai Villa.

Upon arriving at Xinghai Villa, she received a WeChat message from Qiao Muting.

He was going on a business trip for two days.

Thinking of the awkwardness this morning, Shu Xia immediately relaxed; it was good that she didn't have to face him today.

【Okay, don't worry about Grandma, I will go see Grandma these two days.】

【Mm, don't drink alcohol with anyone these two days.】

Looking at the words "drink alcohol," Shu Xia's entire face began to burn red.

Too embarrassing!

Ahhhhh!

She suddenly felt as if some handle on her had been seized by Qiao Muting.
