Chapter 267

Shu Xia doesn't even dare to answer his calls now, and she lets the gigolo she keeps answer the phone?

It's just that, listening over the phone, the gigolo's voice doesn't sound much like a gigolo.

Judging by the voice, it's quite intimidating; the moment he heard the interrogation, his own heart trembled along with it.

"Speak, how do you intend to make a move against Shu Xia?" The coldness in Qiao Muting's tone deepened by a few degrees.

Lin Xu frowned; the gigolo was quite good at bluffing and had some skills in pleasing women. He said arrogantly, "I have a hundred ways to make her end up kneeling and begging us. I advise you to leave her quickly. When she has no money to support you—you people in that line of work are just after money, aren't you? Get lost quickly, give the phone to her, and let her talk to me."

These gigolos who rely on women for a living these days certainly have a lot of nerve.

"Which brother of hers are you?" Qiao Muting asked.

"I am her third brother! In the family, she fears me the most and must listen to me the most. Let me tell you, when she was at home, she would do this and that to please me, but no matter what she did, I found her eyesore!" Lin Xu took the opportunity to vent his emotions.

Their family is a complete mess right now; why is it that Shu Xia is not only keeping a gigolo but also living so comfortably?

Shu Xia doesn't have that right!

Before, Shu Xia used to revolve around their family, but now that the family is in trouble, she has instead hidden far away.

He had originally thought the phone would be handed to Shu Xia by the gigolo, but he didn't expect the gigolo to hang up the phone directly.

When he called back, it was unreachable.

At the entrance of the hospital room, Qiao Muting called Zhang Tezhu, "Find out who Shu Xia's third brother in the Lin Family is."

Not a few minutes later, Zhang Tezhu called back.

"I've found out clearly. Miss Shu's third brother is Lin Xu. He is a celebrity and doing quite well in the entertainment industry, but his acting skills are average, nowhere near Shu Chen of the Shu Family." Zhang Tezhu had investigated the information thoroughly.

Qiao Muting just wanted to pull out a cigarette, but suddenly remembered this was a hospital and dismissed the idea.

He said in a cold, deep tone, "Make it so he can no longer survive in the entertainment industry."

"Understood, I will go arrange it now!" Zhang Tezhu's spirits lifted. Had this Lin Xu done something to make the boss angry?

Otherwise, the boss wouldn't have given such an order.

He really is courting death!

"Also, check what has happened to the Lin Family recently."

"Yes!"

A few minutes later, Zhang Tezhu found out, "Qiao, it is Lin Guanda's wife who got into a car accident, and the accident resulted in the amputation of both her legs."

The Lin Family's company is not far from bankruptcy, and now this has happened. If they find out Miss Shu married his boss, who knows what kind of trouble they might stir up in the future.

However...

Other families might be afraid, but his boss certainly isn't.

It is the Lin Family members who have something wrong with their eyes.

Qiao Muting raised an eyebrow and leaned against the door, looking toward Shu Xia inside the hospital room.

She must know about this, yet she hadn't revealed a single word to him, and she almost never spoke of how the Lin Family treated her. If it weren't for that phone call just now giving him a deeper understanding, he feared he would never have imagined her experiences in the Lin Family.
