Chapter 494

What a pity.

They really cannot be found anymore.

The Qiao Family's public relations team is always fast; no one in Jing City can compare to them in this regard.

"I'm going out to make a call." Shu Xia walked toward the outside.

Once she reached the lounge, she first called Qiao Nainai, "Grandma."

Qiao Nainai knew why Shu Xia had called, and said with a chuckle, "Is it because someone from the Lin Family came to find Grandma, and you're worried about me?"

Listening to Qiao Nainai's gentle inquiry, Shu Xia felt a sting in her nose; it was clearly she who had brought trouble to Qiao Nainai, yet Qiao Nainai did not blame her. She gave a soft "Mm," and said, "They aren't important to me; Grandma, please don't fret over them."

"Xia Xia, from now on, Grandma and Mu Ting will both treat you well. For family members who aren't really family, don't waste your energy on them, and don't be sad because of them. It is they who are blind and cannot see how good our Xia Xia is," Qiao Nainai comforted her in a soft, warm voice.

Shu Xia answered softly, "Okay, Grandma, I will remember everything Grandma said."

Hearing Shu Xia's restrained voice over the phone, Qiao Nainai truly felt heartache, "When I was young, I loved to fight; your Zhong Nainai knows this. If I were thirty or fifty years younger, I could have beaten those people from the Lin Family half to death. This morning, I had Butler Qin chase them out directly."

"I am truly happy and blessed to be able to be family with Grandma," Shu Xia said very sincerely.

She was speaking from her heart.

Words she had always wanted to say to Qiao Nainai.

Sometimes, in the middle of the night, she would even have illusions, always feeling that her life after rebirth was a dream, a fixation born from the many hardships she had endured.

Every time she had this feeling, she would stay calm for a long, long time before she could feel a sense of reality that this was true.

"Silly Xia Xia, being able to be family with you makes Grandma smile even in her dreams! You are the granddaughter-in-law I earned through accumulated blessings."

After hanging up the phone, Qiao Nainai still felt uncomfortable in her heart. Thinking of some things she had investigated—how Xia Xia had been bullied by those people from the Lin Family—her eyes turned red, and she felt a tight ache in her heart.

She said to Butler Qin, "Xia Xia never told me about those things; she really suffered quite a lot. From now on, when she comes over, have the kitchen make everything she likes to eat."

"Don't worry, Old Madam, I will give the orders. Old Madam, please do not be sad because of the Young Madam's past experiences; if you hurt your health, the Young Madam would be sad," Butler Qin hurriedly comforted her.

Qiao Nainai sighed, "Mm, I understand. Don't worry, I will take good care of my health and strive to stay with them for a few more years."

She still wanted to see her great-grandson.

On her side, Shu Xia then called Qiao Muting.

Qiao Muting answered quickly.

"Lin Guanda and the others went to find you, didn't they?" Shu Xia asked.

Qiao Muting didn't expect Shu Xia to know; it seemed the company's PR team had been a step too slow, "Mm, they didn't see me; they were stopped outside the group, and they didn't cause any impact on the group."

"You were the one who found the evidence of Lin Guanda's crimes, right? Thank you," Shu Xia asked.

"Mm, it was me. You don't need to worry about this matter; since he has entered prison, he won't be coming out, and the rest of the people in the Lin Family can't stir up any trouble." Qiao Muting did not deny it; what he did, he did. It was a good thing to let Shu Xia know what he had done; at the very least, it could make her understand that her choice to marry him was not wrong.

Shu Xia's heart trembled slightly, and she suddenly had an intuition that her feelings for Qiao Muting had quietly undergone some changes.

She gripped her phone tightly.

Her tone became calm, "The remaining few people in the Lin Family indeed cannot stir up much trouble, but they are very used to doing things that disgust people. You... might need to be a little careful."

She was just afraid that Lin Bin and the others would pester Qiao Muting.

"Don't worry."

Just as Shu Xia was about to hang up, Qiao Muting suddenly stopped her, "Wait."

"Mm?"

"Were you hurt by them?" Qiao Muting suddenly asked in a deep voice.

Shu Xia was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said, "I was indeed hurt a long time ago, but later I stopped caring. I truly don't care."

"That's good."
