Chapter 31

At the same time, they both looked away.

Qiao Muting looked toward Assistant Chen.

"You handle it."

After saying this, he strode away from the office door.

It was as if he were merely passing by.

Zhang Tezhu knew the true relationship between his boss and Shu Xia, and that their secret marriage could not be made known, so he did not greet Shu Xia at this moment.

But still.

Since the boss told him to handle it, it meant he did not want Shu Xia to be bullied.

Although Shu Xia not only hadn't been bullied but had also heroically struck someone, still...

The fault lay with Lin Guanda's wife for being unkind to her own biological daughter, and then having the bad luck to run into the boss today.

"Pull the surveillance footage and see if they falsely accused the hotel staff; if they did, call the police immediately."

As soon as these words were spoken, the manager was shocked.

Chen Xiuyue's expression changed, "What?"

Lin Miao was also greatly alarmed, "Qiao told you to handle it, is this how you handle things?"

Shu Xia nodded imperceptibly toward Zhang Tezhu to show her gratitude.

"Thank you for believing in me," Jiang Ye immediately said to Zhang Tezhu.

"As for you, today's incident is enough to show that you are not professional enough, nor are you calm and objective; go to the Finance Department to collect an extra month's salary and resign on your own," Zhang Tezhu shifted his tone and addressed the manager.

The manager had just sent instructions in the work group for the surveillance room to check the elevator footage, never expecting that he would be fired.

This was the best job he had found in years!

The monthly salary was high, and the working environment was good.

Just because he was single-mindedly protecting a customer, he was fired?

Chen Xiuyue and Lin Miao panicked.

Chen Xiuyue glared at Shu Xia and Jiang Ye in anger, thinking to herself that she had wasted the last half-year being good to Shu Xia for nothing! Now she was helping Jiang Ye target her.

It infuriated her!

But the matter absolutely could not be taken to the police, as the surveillance had recorded everything clearly.

Her eyes darted around, and at the same time, she let out an "Oh my," "How did the ring get here?"

"It was my misunderstanding; the ring wasn't lost. So you don't need to check the surveillance, and there's no need to call the police; today was my oversight."

Lin Miao endured the pain in her face and played along, "So it was in Mom's bag; then this matter is just a misunderstanding."

"A misunderstanding?" Shu Xia knew the two of them were putting on a double act and looked at them expressionlessly.

In her previous life, just like now, whenever they made a mistake and were exposed, they would dismissively call it a misunderstanding, claiming it hadn't caused any consequences and telling her not to take it too seriously.

At that time, she thought that as a family, one shouldn't be too calculating, and she had easily forgiven them.

They wouldn't truly realize they were wrong.

Therefore...

"It would be better to clarify things in front of the police," Shu Xia said in a flat tone.

Zhang Tezhu had previously looked into the relationship between Shu Xia and the Lin Family, and from the information he found, Miss Shu was responsive to everything the Lin Family asked and very much wanted to integrate into the Lin Family.

But now...

He suddenly recalled the instructions his boss had given him a few days ago to withdraw support for the Lin Family; it now appeared that the relationship between the Lin Family and Miss Shu was likely not very good.

"Xia Xia! What exactly are you trying to do!" Chen Xiuyue's patience had been completely worn away.

Lin Miao was both angry and anxious; how had Shu Xia suddenly become so stubborn and unyielding?
