Chapter 240

She absolutely must not let Dad and the others notice anything unusual.

"Yes, I want to talk to you. Shall we go over there to talk?" Lin Miao kept her attitude very humble.

Shu Xia raised an eyebrow, "Fine."

The two of them walked a little further away.

Seeing the two of them, Lin Guanda and the others were all a bit curious; what could the two of them possibly be talking about?

"Is Miaomiao wronging herself to beg Shu Xia to stop making a scene?" Lin Xu guessed with a frown.

Lin Qi was a bit worried about Lin Miao; Miaomiao was usually very understanding and had a soft, delicate personality, so compared to the tough Shu Xia, Miaomiao was indeed easily bullied, which was why he kept his eyes on them—if Shu Xia dared to hurt Miaomiao, he would definitely be the first to step in and stop her.

Lin Bin, meanwhile, came to Lin Guanda's side, his face full of worry, "Dad, we need to be mentally prepared. Mom's condition probably isn't very good; it looks like both her legs are broken."

Lin Guanda's expression changed abruptly, "Trust the doctors. They will reattach the broken legs. Your mom will be fine. Our family cannot have anything else go wrong right now."

"Mm, I hope so." Although Lin Bin said this, a sense of foreboding welled up in his heart.

He just felt that his mother's situation would not be that optimistic.

And their family's situation would likely only get worse and worse.

Looking at Shu Xia, who appeared relaxed and showed not the slightest bit of panic or worry, an incredible thought surfaced in his mind: if their Lin Family wanted to break out of this deadlock, perhaps...

Perhaps they had to go through Shu Xia to achieve their goal.

He inexplicably had this feeling.

Over here, Lin Miao put forward her request, "How exactly did you get the video in your hands? I hope you can delete the video, and I can agree to one condition of yours."

"How I got it doesn't matter; what matters is your condition for me to delete the video." Shu Xia suddenly wanted to play a game of cat and mouse with Lin Miao.

Lin Miao frowned tightly, "What do you want? Is it that sports car of mine? That was a birthday gift from Dad. If you like it, I'll give it to you. But you must delete the video completely; you cannot let the video fall into anyone else's hands."

"I don't have an eye for that sports car of yours." Shu Xia said with some disdain.

A second-hand car that had been driven by Lin Miao—she didn't think much of it.

Faced with all those limited-edition cars of Qiao Muting's, she remained unmoved.

To her, a car was just a means of transportation; as long as it could get on the road, that was fine.

"Then what do you want? Shu Xia, keeping my video won't do anything other than make the family hate me." Lin Miao was anxious beyond measure.

Why was Shu Xia so impervious to reason?

"What I want is very simple: go die." Shu Xia emphasized the word "die."

Before she was reborn, she had been tortured until life was worse than death, and when she finally died a miserable death, she had thought that whether it was Lin Miao or Fu Chenyan, they must definitely die a horrible death.

Lin Miao's expression changed, "Don't go too far!"

Shu Xia chuckled, "Forgot how you used to bully me?"

"The past is the past, and now is now. If you return to the Lin Family, my room can be given to you, and I won't smear your name in front of Mom and Dad. This is already the biggest concession I can make," Lin Miao said in a low voice.

This was simply too much!

Sooner or later, she would make Shu Xia taste this feeling of being on pins and needles too.

"No." Shu Xia refused coldly.

"Shu Xia!" Lin Miao couldn't help but raise her voice.

Why hadn't she realized before that Shu Xia was so difficult to get along with?

Lin Qi immediately strode over, stood by Lin Miao's side, and pointed at Shu Xia while looking down at her, "Did you bully Miaomiao again?"

Shu Xia looked at Lin Qi with a half-smile, "I accidentally obtained a video. The content of the video is very interesting, but Lin Miao wants me to delete it. I don't agree, so she got angry from embarrassment and yelled at me. Why don't you come and see if this video should be deleted?"
