Chapter 314

In the evening, he returned to the villa at home.

During this period, Dad and Lin Bin had both practically been sleeping at the company, and Lin Xu still had to film, so he also rarely came back.

Therefore, only he, Mom, and Miaomiao were left at home.

Chen Xiuyue and Lin Miao were eating dinner, and after seeing Lin Qi return, Chen Xiuyue said listlessly, "Come over and have dinner."

Lin Miao had no appetite; the food at home these past two days had been too monotonous, and there weren't many dishes either.

Upon seeing Lin Qi, she looked over.

After their gazes met, Lin Miao quickly withdrew her gaze again.

It was as if she were shy after seeing Lin Qi.

Lin Qi noticed Lin Miao's actions, and the gloom in his heart lessened quite a bit; no matter how many people in the company were distancing themselves from him now, Miaomiao would never distance herself from him.

After smiling, he walked over.

Next, while eating, Lin Qi and Lin Miao secretly kept looking at each other.

It was as if they were invisibly transmitting some kind of signal.

Chen Xiuyue had something on her mind and was absent-minded the whole time, completely failing to notice the secret exchange of glances between the two.

Just as she was finishing her meal, she spoke up, "Today I heard from a friend that Shu Xia didn't have anyone's help to get into Gu Lao's team. Gu Lao's personality is such that even if you were my son, if you didn't have real ability, I wouldn't take you. So, Xia Xia... she might have relied on herself to get into Gu Lao's team."

After hearing what her friend said, they realized that they really hadn't valued Shu Xia much, and had never truly understood how outstanding Shu Xia was.

Seeing the regret on Chen Xiuyue's face, Lin Miao couldn't care about Lin Qi anymore; she immediately said, "I have always thought Sister was outstanding, but... some things aren't as simple as we think, and Shu Xia's new boyfriend shouldn't be President Gu, nor President Qiao; it seems to be an ordinary person."

Shu Xia, having found an ordinary person, was even less useful to the family.

Mentioning President Gu and President Qiao made Chen Xiuyue's expression even worse.

They had misunderstood Xia Xia before.

However, she still felt a bit of regret in her heart; if Xia Xia had really become the mistress of either of those two, their family would count as having a backer now.

Perhaps the company's troubles would have already been resolved.

"We'll find an opportunity to go look for her again later and clear up the previous misunderstandings. My friend said that since she is working in Gu Lao's team, it means she has soared to great heights. In the future, there will be many people wanting to ask her for favors, which counts as a matter of face for our family."

Chen Xiuyue's tone was very ordinary when she said this, but to Lin Miao's ears, it sounded very grating.

What was meant by soaring to great heights?

She would absolutely not let Shu Xia surpass her.

Everyone in the family had to like her.

Sensing Lin Miao's dejection, Lin Qi, who had just felt guilty toward Shu Xia, frowned at this moment, "Mom, don't mention her again; she has too deep a grudge against us."

"I'm done eating, Mom, I'm going upstairs to rest first." Lin Miao went upstairs feeling somewhat depressed.

Seeing this, Lin Qi also put down his chopsticks, "Mom, Miaomiao is in a bad mood, I'll go check on her."

"Go ahead."

He went upstairs and came to Lin Miao's room.

After Lin Miao saw Lin Qi enter, her eyes immediately turned red, "Brother, will you all like Shu Xia and then not like me anymore? And, I also... toward you... so you hate me too, right?"
