Chapter 363

"You... you all..."

Chen Xiuyue's eyes were splitting with rage; she was driven nearly mad by their words.

She had had a nightmare and was terrified by the incredibly realistic scenes within it, yet instead of comforting or consoling her, they were all blaming her.

Were they even her sons anymore?

Before the car accident, she had considered her sons and her daughter Miaomiao to be her pride and joy!

Furthermore, they had been respectful to her, seemingly always thinking of her as their mother at every turn.

Compared to them, Shu Xia was nothing in her eyes.

In the dream...

The scenes from the dream uncontrollably forced their way into her mind.

She was terrified.

She reflected.

And now, she felt regret.

What she was experiencing now was exactly what Shu Xia had experienced in the dream, and even then... it was far less than what Shu Xia had endured.

If the dream was real, was she even worthy of being called a mother?

"You don't deserve to be my sons! I gave birth to you in vain, and I raised you for nothing!" Chen Xiuyue accused them angrily.

Lin Qi did not like hearing such words, "Mom, ever since you had the car accident, we dropped everything to take care of you and stay by your side. Isn't that enough? We know you can't accept the amputation right now, but it has already happened. Can you please calm down? Stop doing things that hurt us and hurt yourself, okay?"

Lin Bin and Lin Xu both had gloomy faces and did not want to say another word.

Looking at Lin Qi, who was blaming her, Chen Xiuyue could only stare wide-eyed, then began to weep in remorse.

——

The next day.

Shu Xia carried a large bag to work.

The large bag was packed full of local specialties to bring and share with her colleagues.

She could have rested for a few more days, but having heard from colleagues that there was a lot of work lately, she, as a wage earner, still came to work diligently; after all, she needed to pay off the mortgage on the house she bought.

There was also a large renovation expense coming up.

On the way, Jiang Nannan sent her a photo; she was standing in front of a villa, smiling brilliantly at the camera.

【Jiang Nannan's first day of work, full of energy! Wish me a smooth workday, my treasure!】

While waiting for the red light, Shu Xia replied: 【Wishing my treasure a smooth workday! If anything happens, be sure to contact me at any time.】

Soon, she arrived at the Gu Corporation Building.

After parking the car, Shu Xia took her bag to clock in for work.

Just as she was about to reach the door to clock in, a colleague hurried over.

They came up to her.

"Shu Xia, don't go to work today. The people who came to cause trouble for you before brought people from a television station today and are blocking you right here. The security captain has already called the police, and the police will be here to handle it shortly. Once it's resolved, I'll call you."

Shu Xia's expression darkened. She swept her gaze over and sure enough, saw several people in front of the door—some holding microphones, some carrying cameras, and also Lin Qi and Lin Xu.

Seeing that Shu Xia's expression was not very good, the colleague quickly added, "Don't worry, we will handle it well. Gu Lao has already given instructions."

Just as Shu Xia was preparing to leave, a call came through.

"Brother."

"Xia Xia, don't go to work for now. Just stay at home, do you understand?" Shu Xuan instructed in a deep voice.

Shu Xia's expression sank, and she asked, "Brother, has something happened?"

Could it be that Shu Xuan knew what the Lin Family was planning to do?

No, that wasn't right.
