Chapter 530

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 anyway.

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 desperate dog will bite.

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

Shu Xuan instructed her, feeling uneasy.

The news about the Lin Family has spread throughout the company now, and it is no longer a secret in Jing City.

Shu Chen might be busy filming, so she only messaged her on WeChat to warn her to be careful of the Lin Family, and that if anything happened, she must call the two of them; she absolutely 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 right now why he is deceiving me. He looks like he cares about me and likes me just as he did before, but..."

"Last night he stayed in the study all night, saying he had a video conference that would last 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 certainly won't tell me his purpose for doing so. Yesterday he asked me to resign, saying he agreed to let me open a shop, but I refused. I feel that I need this job to help me calm down, and after some time, perhaps I will be able to find out 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 did not know what was wrong with him yesterday; he had been 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 had kissed her so affectionately.

Just then, a colleague walked in and greeted her.

She immediately put away her inappropriate thoughts and quickly threw herself into her work.

——

When she got off work in the afternoon, a classmate she had not 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 did not expect a sudden private message.

She replied with a simple "Mm" to see what the other person wanted.

Almost as soon as the "Mm" 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 would watch this video. I only recently found out about your family affairs. I know many things are not as simple as they appear to us, but after seeing the video, I felt it was unbearable, so I still sent it to you. I am truly sorry for the intrusion, and I hope this hasn't caused you any trouble."

Afterward, she opened the video.
