Chapter 432

Seeing that only Lin Qi was in the hospital room, Lin Bin asked, "Where is Miaomiao?"

"She had some things to attend to for a friend, so she went to help. I can manage here with Mom by myself," Lin Qi replied.

Lin Xu was somewhat dissatisfied, "Mom is at a critical stage of recovery; what friend could be more important than Mom?"

Lin Qi frowned, "Our world doesn't revolve solely around Mom. After Mom's accident, Miaomiao has already done her best to take care of her. There's no need to be so harsh on her. Don't you all have your own things to be busy with as well?"

"Enough, don't argue right now." Lin Bin felt a wave of annoyance.

He glanced toward Chen Xiuyue, who was sleeping on the bed.

This look only made him feel more annoyed.

"It's so frustrating! Why have there been so many things happening in our family lately? The company is in trouble, Mom is in trouble, and my work isn't going smoothly either. Several roles were clearly promised to me, but then they were given to someone else. Now I have almost no work at all!" Lin Xu vented his dissatisfaction.

Then he went to find the directors and the company, but there was no response; either they said he wasn't suitable, or they told him to take a break and improve his acting skills.

Improve my ass!

Lin Qi frowned, "There have indeed been many things happening at home lately, and my work isn't going smoothly either."

"The company won't be able to hold on for much longer. Dad and I are doing our best to find ways to keep it afloat, and we might be even less able to look after things at home later, so we have no choice but to have Shu Xia come back now," Lin Bin said in a low voice.

"Didn't you say you had already thought of a way to make her come back?" Lin Qi had reached his limit of endurance.

He often took leave from his company to come and take care of his mother, and if his mother appreciated it, that would be one thing, but she was dissatisfied with him and also dissatisfied with Miaomiao.

The company was also dissatisfied with him.

Under these circumstances, having Shu Xia come back would be for the best.

"Tomorrow, let's do it tomorrow. We will take a television reporter to find Shu Xia. A very popular program lately, along with experts who specialize in mediating various relationships, will be coming along. In this situation, even if Shu Xia doesn't want to agree, she will have to. Since Mom also wants Shu Xia to come back, then Shu Xia must come back," Lin Bin said coldly.

Lin Xu sneered, "She is just cheap! Once she's on television this time, let everyone see her true colors and see how unfilial she is! This time, she will have no choice but to listen to us and come back obediently."

Lin Qi was stunned, "That ruthless?"

He felt that by doing this, the rift between them and Shu Xia might only grow wider, which would not be conducive to the restoration of their relationship.

"If we don't do this, do you think Shu Xia will listen and come back? It's not that we didn't give her a chance; it's that she didn't cherish it herself! Look at her, is she obedient? What kind of good job opportunities can she get over at the Gu family's side? It would be better for her to come back and take care of Mom. We can give her more money then; that's better than her keeping a gigolo outside. I feel disgusted just thinking about it," Lin Xu said through gritted teeth.

And because of this matter, Shu Chen had even hit him!

"The television station has already been taken care of. They think this matter can create a gimmick and will have high ratings, so they will try every means to persuade Shu Xia and force her into a position where she has to agree. By then, Shu Xia will have no other choice," Lin Bin said.

Hearing what the two of them said, Lin Qi nodded, "Let's do as you say. It's not that we didn't give her a chance; it's that she is too ignorant."

"Tomorrow, let a caregiver watch over Mom here. We will go find Shu Xia together. If there are more of us, we can put more pressure on Shu Xia," Lin Bin decided directly.

"Fine."

Just then, Chen Xiuyue woke up.

The moment she woke up, she looked a bit dazed.

Seeing her three sons guarding the bedside, she finally came back to her senses regarding what she had experienced.

"I just had a very terrifying dream. We weren't good to Xia Xia at all, and she also got into a car accident—a car accident even more severe than mine—but none of us took care of her, leaving her to fend for herself. She got into the car accident because she was saving me, yet I despised her as a burden. Later, later we all suffered retribution, and we all died unnatural deaths!"
