Chapter 56

~5 min read 855 words

Under these circumstances, there is no way to send out the video, and therefore, Xia Xia has no way to let people know the truth.

Seeing Shu Xuan silent, Shu Xia said, "I'm going to go find a lawyer."

"Xia Xia, lawyers in Jing City probably won't take your case; the legal team hired by the Lin Family is very famous in Jing City, and even their public relations team is very formidable." When Shu Xuan said these words, his heart felt heavy, and his complexion was also heavy.

Shu Xia held her phone and was silent.

If someone were in the bedroom and saw her hand gripping the phone tightly, they would be able to tell just how much hatred the woman before them felt.

"Perhaps you could go see them and show the video to your biological parents; they might be able to help you and not let this matter escalate further." Shu Xuan offered a suggestion.

This was also the solution his friends had discussed.

He knew that right now, Xia Xia did not want to see the Lin Family parents at all.

Moreover, the Lin Family parents were currently suppressing and bullying Xia Xia without hesitation for the sake of Lin Miao; if Xia Xia saw them, how would they treat her?

It really wronged Xia Xia.

He, this older brother, could not help, and it felt as uncomfortable as a fishbone stuck in his throat.

Shu Xia's eyes were slightly red, and she gave a soft, "Mm," then said, "I will think about it some more. Big Brother, don't worry about this matter for now. I know Big Brother has also encountered some things recently. My matter is not a big deal; I will handle it well. I know Big Brother is very worried about me, but I have grown up. I am no longer that child who would cry whenever she encountered a problem. I will face these blows very strongly."

Originally, she should have been able to resolve these matters well, but she hadn't expected to still let her family worry along with her.

On the other end of the phone, after Shu Xuan hung up, his eyes also turned red.

After hanging up on Shu Xuan, Shu Chen called as well.

After Shu Xia briefly explained the situation, Shu Chen said he would come to find her.

She did not agree, only saying that she could handle this matter well and told Shu Chen to focus on his work with peace of mind.

After hanging up on Shu Chen, she glanced at the time; it was already 6:30.

She changed her clothes, went downstairs, and found a carton of yogurt in the refrigerator.

She sprinkled some cereal on it and ate it directly.

Just at this moment, Chen Xiuyue called.

Looking at the three characters "Chen Xiuyue," combined with what Shu Xuan had just said to her, Shu Xia felt a stinging pain in her heart. Should she give them another chance?

"You finally answered the phone! Do you know you were wrong? You are my daughter after all; as long as you admit your mistake, we will forgive you this time. These things on the internet will be forgotten by people after a while. During this time, your father and I will send you abroad. While abroad, be obedient and don't cause trouble again. Did you hear what I said?"

The moment Chen Xiuyue saw the call was answered, she couldn't describe how she felt; it was as if she had let out a sigh of relief.

But she still couldn't stop a heart full of dissatisfaction and rattled off a string of words.

Shu Xia's cold voice came through, "The photos are real. I have the video of them going to the mall in my possession."

"What did you say? Real? Impossible, how could that be? Miaomiao has always kept herself pure and self-respecting; she is not like you, living with Fu Chenyan so casually." Chen Xiuyue paused, then immediately asked back in disbelief.

Shu Xia's heart turned cold, and she sneered: "Lin Miao told you that again? Hang up the phone and check your WeChat."

To smear her, Lin Miao could think of any excuse; it was a classic case of someone being filthy themselves and unable to tolerate the uprightness of others.

A few minutes after the call was hung up, Chen Xiuyue called again.

"Finished watching?" Shu Xia asked.

Chen Xiuyue: "Miaomiao is someone who will have a good marriage in the future; she cannot be ruined by this matter. Xia Xia, listen to Mom. Let this matter end here. I won't ask you to apologize, but you cannot speak of this matter to anyone else again. This matter can be considered as Miaomiao owing you; I will tell your father, and we will definitely compensate you. The two of them were probably just acting a bit intimate in their behavior; there is nothing going on."

"Kissing doesn't count as having something going on? Ms. Chen's values are very problematic. As expected, I shouldn't have had any fantasies about you all anymore."
