Chapter 45

Fu Chenyan discovered Shu Xia's social media post because Lin Miao sent him a message.

At first, he didn't think much of it, assuming Shu Xia was still throwing a tantrum.

But when he saw the photo Shu Xia posted, he realized it was over.

"She actually found out about me and Lin Miao!"

Fu Chenyan felt a panic like never before; this social media post of Shu Xia's meant she had made up her mind to never have anything to do with him again.

He had thought he didn't like Shu Xia that much, but now he realized he couldn't accept Shu Xia saying they were broken up!

——

After Shu Xia finished her restoration work for the morning, she washed her hands and came out of the workshop to have lunch.

It was only after eating lunch that she took out her phone.

She first returned calls to Jiang Ye and her two older brothers, telling them not to worry.

She also discovered that her good friend Jiang Nannan had sent her several WeChat messages expressing concern; Jiang Nannan was her college classmate, and the two were very close.

However, Jiang Nannan had gotten married right after graduation and had been playing the role of a virtuous wife for the past six months, with eyes only for her husband.

She called Jiang Nannan.

It was answered after two rings.

"Xia Xia, what's going on?"

Shu Xia didn't say much, just stating that Fu Chenyan had cheated with Lin Miao; Jiang Nannan knew who Lin Miao was, and in her previous life, when she had run into trouble, Jiang Nannan hadn't been in Jing City, and when she later returned to Jing City to look for her, she had been turned away by the Lin Family...

"Xia Xia, breaking up is for the best. I never had a good impression of Fu Chenyan anyway. One of these days I'll introduce you to a new boyfriend who will absolutely crush a hundred Fu Chenyans!" Jiang Nannan understood Shu Xia best, and just by the sound of her voice on the phone, she knew her friend was in a good state of mind.

She was someone who could hold on and let go!

She was truly the kind of friend she could share a bed and wear the same clothes with!

After chatting with Jiang Nannan for a few moments and hanging up, Shu Xia checked her missed calls.

Lin Xu had called her several times, and there were also missed calls from Fu Chenyan and Fu Chenyan's mother.

Her high school classmates on WeChat were also asking her what was going on, but she didn't reply, nor was there any need to; apart from her family and Jiang Nannan, she didn't feel these people truly cared about her.

Most people were just harboring a desire for gossip.

After a few seconds of silence, she called Lin Xu back.

Lin Xu answered the phone quickly.

"Xia Xia, delete that social media post immediately, then post a new one saying you were in a bad mood today, that you just photoshopped a picture at random, and apologize to Miaomiao." Lin Xu's tone was stiff, as if he were ordering Shu Xia to do something.

"Who told you the photo was photoshopped?" Shu Xia sneered.

Regarding the three brothers of the Lin Family, in her previous life, she had been blind and kept trying to curry favor with them just as she did with Chen Xiuyue, only to have all her sincerity fed to the dogs.

The whole family loved to order people around; if that wasn't a mental illness, what was?

"If it wasn't photoshopped, could it be real? How could Lin Miao be with your boyfriend? Even if you're jealous, there should be a limit. Aside from having a decent face, that boyfriend of yours is just a pauper; Miaomiao wouldn't look twice at him." Lin Xu glanced at Lin Miao, who was watching him, and signaled for her to stay calm; no matter how Shu Xia explained it, he wouldn't believe her.

Lin Qi signaled for Lin Xu to give him the phone.

Lin Xu handed the phone over.

"What you did today was too thoughtless. You want to smear Miaomiao just by photoshopping a random picture? You and Fu Chenyan lived together before, and later you were at each other's throats over money; do you think we would believe you? If you don't want to escalate things and make it look too ugly, do as Lin Xu said." Lin Qi ordered directly.

"The whole family has serious issues. Whether you believe it or not isn't important; isn't Lin Miao feeling guilty? I'm just worried the matter isn't big enough; you go ahead and call the police, it'll save me from dialing 110."
