Chapter 466

"We must tell Dad and the others about this."

After some deliberation, Lin Qi decided to tell them.

If it really was Qiao Muting, then having Qiao Muting help their family meant their current predicament wouldn't be a predicament at all; it could be solved with total ease!

"No, wait until I confirm it. We've been wrong three times in a row; if we're wrong this time and Qiao Muting takes his anger out on our family, we won't be able to survive in Jing City anymore." Lin Qi quickly became cautious again.

Lin Miao nodded vigorously, "Brother's worry is correct."

The two of them fooled around together once more.

By the time it was almost dawn, Lin Qi snuck back to his room.

Passing by Chen Xiuyue's room, he heard the sounds of pain coming from inside; his footsteps paused, and he was just about to go in and take a look.

But then he felt it was too much trouble.

She had just finished surgery not long ago, so pain was normal, and it was also possible that Mom was just being overly dramatic.

Forget it, better to hurry back and sleep; he still had to go to the company to prepare for his resignation after waking up.

Meanwhile, Chen Xiuyue lay on the bed, staring with wide eyes; in the dim light, she didn't have a shred of sleepiness.

She felt pain all over her body.

Lying here day after day, she really felt like she didn't want to live anymore.

All day today, no one in the family came to see her; she didn't believe they hadn't heard her say she was in pain.

Only the servants came in to take care of her a little.

But the servants were busy with many things and simply couldn't take good care of her all the time.

The scenes from her dreams surfaced again; she clearly saw them ignoring Shu Xia, just as she was experiencing now, or perhaps even worse.

At the very least, the servants in the house still came to take care of her.

But in the dreams, whenever the servants wanted to take care of Shu Xia, they would be sent away by them to do other things.

Clearly in the dreams, Shu Xia had gotten into a car accident because of her, yet she still treated Shu Xia with such indifference—was this retribution?

Even outside of the dreams, ever since Shu Xia returned, she hadn't treated Shu Xia even one ten-thousandth as well as she treated Lin Miao; one could even say she mistreated her.

"Hehehe... retribution, it's all my retribution..."

"They will have their retribution too!"

She almost shrieked this sentence out.

The entire villa was terrifyingly quiet.

Almost everyone in the villa heard this cry.

But everyone pretended not to hear it; their patience for Chen Xiuyue had reached its limit!

Retribution, my foot!

She tormented people every single day; she was her own retribution! Otherwise, why was it her who got into a car accident and not someone else?

After being jolted awake, Lin Guanda clenched his fists tightly; he had been too blind all these years—how could he have married a madwoman?

Couldn't she just rest properly and not disturb others?

Truly selfish!

During her lunch break, Shu Xia went to the mall across the street to have lunch with Jiang Nannan.

Jiang Nannan happened to be nearby.

Last night, Sheng An was filming a night scene nearby; he would be resting during the day today and wouldn't continue filming until around five in the afternoon.

Jiang Nannan took advantage of this time to run over and see Shu Xia.

Not ten minutes after sitting down, Shu Xia yawned twice in a row.
