Chapter 478

Shu Xia did not know about the Lin Family's plans.

It was not until she clocked in for work the next day that Shu Xuan called her to say that Lin Qi had resigned, and that the company had originally intended to dismiss Lin Qi recently.

He also said that Shu Chen mentioned Lin Xu could no longer survive in the entertainment industry at all, as no one would employ an artist with such a tarnished reputation.

The Lin Family's situation is currently riddled with holes, and sometimes a dog will bite when it is desperate.

"So, if you encounter anyone from the Lin Family in the future, you must stay as far away as possible."

Shu Xuan instructed her, feeling uneasy.

Now, news of the Lin Family's affairs has spread throughout the company, and it is no longer considered a secret in Jing City.

Shu Chen might be busy filming, so she only sent a message on WeChat urging her to be careful of the Lin Family, and if anything happens, she must call the two of them; she must not let herself be bullied without telling them.

Then came a call from Jiang Nannan.

Jiang Nannan said, "There might really be some problems between Huo Jingyan and me. He hides things too well; I can't even determine now why he is deceiving me. He looks like he cares for me and likes me just as he did before, but..."

"Last night, he stayed in the study for the whole night, saying he had a video conference that would last for several hours. I feel he definitely has something going on."

Listening to Jiang Nannan's rational analysis, Shu Xia said softly, "Have you thought about talking to him?"

"Talk? He won't talk to me, nor will he admit anything. It will only end with him giving me a perfect explanation after I expose his lies. If he wants to deceive me, he will certainly not tell me his purpose for doing so. Yesterday, he asked me to resign and said he agreed to let me open a shop, but I refused. I feel that I need this job to help me calm down; perhaps after some time, I will be able to know some things," Jiang Nannan said rationally.

After ending the call with Jiang Nannan, she went to the restroom.

In the restroom, she rubbed her waist.

She had barely been able to get up this morning, having been tossed about by Qiao Muting for most of the night.

Looking at her lips in the mirror, which were still slightly red and swollen, Shu Xia's mouth twitched violently.

She didn't know what was wrong with him yesterday; he was too forceful while kissing, and after the storm had passed, he had deep-kissed her for a long time again.

For a moment, she even had the illusion that he had fallen in love with her, which was why he kissed her so affectionately.

Just then, a colleague walked in and greeted her.

She immediately put away the thoughts she shouldn't have, and then quickly threw herself into her work.

——

When she got off work in the afternoon, a classmate she hadn't been in contact with for a long time suddenly asked if she was there.

This classmate was from high school and had helped her back then.

Later, they went to different universities and gradually lost touch, only occasionally liking each other's posts on social media.

She didn't expect a sudden private message.

She simply replied with an "en" to see what the other person wanted.

Almost as soon as the "en" was sent, the classmate sent a video the next second.

There was also a voice message.

She listened to the voice message first.

"Shu Xia, I'm sorry to bother you. A classmate reached out to me and hoped you could watch this video. I only recently learned about your family affairs. I know many things are not as simple as they appear to us, but after seeing the video, I felt a bit unable to bear it, so I still sent it to you. I am truly sorry for the intrusion, and I hope it hasn't caused you any trouble."

Afterward, she opened the video.
