Chapter 48

Seeing Shu Xuan's expression sink rapidly, Shu Chen sensed that something was wrong.

"Brother, what did they say?"

"They said the best advice is to have Xia Xia apologize. The public relations team hired by the Lin Family is very famous in Jing City; they can turn black into white. In the end, no matter what the truth is, Xia Xia's reputation will be ruined by them." Shu Xuan's expression was very grave.

Shu Chen knew that what Shu Xuan said was the truth. Although he was at the very bottom of the entertainment industry, he was very clear about how deep the waters of the entertainment industry ran. What the eyes see is not necessarily true; whether one can twist black and white depends entirely on whether one's capital and connections are strong enough.

He never imagined that their little sister, whom they had doted on since childhood, would not only be bullied but now also have mud slung at her. He felt terribly upset inside.

They would rather be bullied themselves than let Xia Xia suffer any grievances.

"Let's think of another way. Just thinking about Xia Xia suffering grievances makes me feel terrible." Shu Chen's eyebrows were almost twisted together.

Shu Xuan pressed his lips tight, looked at Shu Chen, and said, "Since my friends said that, it means that apart from the method of taking the initiative to admit fault, there is almost no other way, unless we can hire the public relations team of the Qiao Group."

Hearing the words "Qiao Group's public relations," Shu Chen's expression became even uglier.

How could that be possible!

That is harder than ascending to heaven!

In the hospital.

On the way, Shu Xia bought a bouquet of flowers at a flower shop.

When she arrived at the ward holding the flowers, Qiao Nainai was chatting with an old gentleman.

Seeing Shu Xia arrive, Qiao Nainai couldn't wait to introduce her to the old gentleman, "This is the granddaughter-in-law I was just talking about. Isn't she pretty? Her temperament is especially good. My Mu Ting is so blessed."

"Xia Xia, why did you buy flowers? Is it heavy? Grandma has felt that the ward has been too plain these past two days. With you buying flowers to put in the ward, it is a feast for the eyes for Grandma."

"This is your Qin Lao, the elder I told you about yesterday who wants you to go to his collection room to see his old artifacts."

Shu Xia stepped forward and first said politely to Qin Lao, "Qin Yeye."

"You have always been a good judge of character; this girl looks excellent at first glance," Qin Lao said with a chuckle.

Shu Xia looked at Qin Lao and found him somewhat familiar; it seemed she had seen him on some news program before. The Qin Lao on the news was very serious, making people afraid to look at him for too long.

But the Qin Lao before her was kind and benevolent, without that awe-inspiring aura in his eyes, and was very approachable.

Shu Xia placed the flowers in a vase, her palm-sized face always wearing a gentle smile.

"Wait until I am discharged in two days, and I will take Xia Xia to your house," Qiao Nainai said.

Qin Lao nodded, looking at Shu Xia with a kind gaze, "When the time comes, whatever Xia Xia likes, Qin Yeye will give it to you."

"Your Qin Yeye has many good things. When the time comes, don't be polite at all. Whatever you like, just tell Grandma, and Grandma will have your Qin Yeye give it to you," Qiao Nainai said to Shu Xia again.

It was evident that the two elders had known each other for a long time and were the kind of old friends who could talk freely.

Shu Xia looked at them and nodded with a smile: "Thank you, Qin Yeye."

"No need to be polite with your Qin Yeye; he used to love hovering around your Zhong Nainai the most." Qiao Nainai felt that she might be getting old, as she really liked reminiscing about the past.

Those things that happened when they were young seemed like they were just yesterday.

Who would have thought that a lifetime is so short; in the blink of an eye, she was already old.

Qin Lao smiled as he watched Qiao Nainai talk. When he heard the name "Zhong Nainai," there seemed to be some tears in his eyes, but it was only for an instant. He then said with no discernible emotion: "I have never feared anyone in my life, but the one I feared most was her."
