Chapter 527

In the end, having no other choice, he became a food delivery worker.

He had originally thought that Shu Xia would mock him upon seeing him in such a wretched state, but Shu Xia's expression remained indifferent, showing only a flicker of surprise at the very beginning.

Shu Xia said expressionlessly, "I don't like to kick a man when he's down. Although your past actions deserve to be kicked while down, I have nothing to do with you, so there is no need for me to do such things."

Over the past two days, the news regarding the Lin Family has decreased significantly.

It is nowhere near as popular as it was initially.

Gradually, the people of Jing City will likely forget that there was once a Lin Group that went bankrupt almost overnight.

However...

It surprised her a little that Lin Miao hadn't stirred up any trouble these past few days; it didn't seem like Lin Miao's usual style.

Could it be that Lin Qi and the others did something to Lin Miao?

Was she locked up?

Lin Bin's face turned even paler and more unsightly, "Can you forgive us for the things in the past?"

It was all because of Lin Miao's instigation; otherwise, they wouldn't have treated Shu Xia so poorly.

If they hadn't treated her so poorly, Shu Xia certainly wouldn't be standing by and watching coldly as she is now, drawing a clear line between herself and them, when the Lin Family encountered trouble.

He regretted it; if he had known it would come to this, he should have driven Lin Miao away from the very beginning.

Shu Xia smiled, "Do you think I should forgive you?"

Lin Bin is truly worthy of his name, thinking that appearing in front of her looking miserable would make her forgive him?

He never forgets to play tricks and schemes at any time.

"Everyone makes mistakes, and there are times when one is kept in the dark. We wrongly trusted Lin Miao before; if it weren't for her sowing discord, we wouldn't have treated you that way." Lin Bin pushed all the blame onto Lin Miao.

Shu Xia really wanted to give Lin Bin a thumbs up; even now, he still didn't know where he went wrong and was still attempting to shift the narrative.

She had just finished a bowl of spicy hot pot.

She stood up.

Then, looking at Lin Bin with an expressionless face, she said, "No matter what you say, it is meaningless. In the future, when you see me, it is best to pretend you don't know me."

Lin Bin was anxious and took a large step forward to block Shu Xia, who was about to leave.

"Too many things have happened during this period. Mom's health is getting worse and worse, and her condition is deteriorating, but she often talks about you, saying she was wrong. Xia Xia, we have all realized our past mistakes. You don't have to acknowledge us, but you should at least acknowledge the mother who worked hard to give birth to you, right?" Lin Bin was in a hurry to say the words he had been brewing in his heart for a long time.

At this very moment, Lin Bin no longer possessed the high-and-mighty air of the young president of the Lin Group from some time ago.

All that remained was a submissive compromise after all his schemes had been exhausted.

"Speak, what exactly do you want to do?" Shu Xia did not have that much patience.

Running into Lin Bin here was definitely not a coincidence.

Lin Bin's eyes flickered, as if he were hesitating whether to speak.

Just as he was hesitating, a man reeking of a nose-stinging smell of alcohol rushed over.

"Second Brother, there's no need to waste words with her. She is our sister; just make the request to her directly. We just want to borrow money from her." After rushing over, Lin Xu could barely stand steady.

Compared to Lin Bin's wretched state, Lin Xu was no better off.

If you didn't look closely, you wouldn't be able to recognize him at all.

Although the clothes on Lin Xu were still designer brands, his face was both sallow and red—the sallow likely from a lack of rest, and the red from drinking alcohol.

Lin Bin took a deep breath, "Sorry, I don't want to disturb you like this, but Mom's condition requires medication every day, and the money at home has all been used to pay off debts; we have no money to buy medicine. Therefore, I hope you can lend us some money at this time."
