Chapter 61

Having lived a second life, she has nothing to fear.

She has family and friends behind her, and the courage to burn her bridges.

Suppressing the faint pain in her heart, Shu Xia finally said, "Ms. Chen, I was blind before for wanting to please you; you are not worthy of being my mother."

Chen Xiuyue looked at the phone that had been hung up, her mind buzzing.

She did not know why, but she kept thinking about Shu Xia's words.

Saying she was not worthy of being her mother?

She is the wife of Lin Guanda, a person of status and reputation in Jing City, her three sons are all leaders in their respective fields, and her daughter Lin Miao is even more outstanding and beautiful; apart from Shu Xia, who was swapped at birth and whom she looked down upon, she had only lectured her a few times, so how did that make her unworthy?

If it were before, Chen Xiuyue would not have taken Shu Xia's words to heart at all, but now, Chen Xiuyue felt uncomfortable everywhere.

Watching Chen Xiuyue's tightly furrowed brows, Lin Miao felt uneasy, "Mom, is older sister still unwilling to apologize, unwilling to let this matter rest? Fu Chenyan has already come forward to explain, yet she still resents me. If it really won't work, I will admit to everything, then go abroad to avoid the limelight and let her return home."

"Don't worry about her anymore; she is incorrigible and stubborn. Let your brothers settle this matter as soon as possible; don't be too petty with Shu Xia," Chen Xiuyue said, knitting her brows.

Lin Miao was secretly shocked; what exactly did Shu Xia say just now?

Why did it feel like her mother was starting to be perfunctory toward her?

She had offered to apologize and go abroad, yet her mother didn't stop her, nor did she scold Shu Xia, instead saying not to be petty with Shu Xia.

Not be petty?

How could that be possible?

While Chen Xiuyue wasn't looking, Lin Miao sent messages to her three older brothers.

"Older sister called just now; she still doesn't intend to admit her mistake, nor does she respect Mom. I feel like the trouble was caused by me, so it should be ended by me. Perhaps I should just suffer the grievance and admit that what older sister said was right."

Lin Bin: Miaomiao, you cannot; she did something wrong and should be punished.

Lin Qi: Leave this matter to us; don't be afraid.

Lin Xu: Having that younger sister Shu Xia is just so annoying!

Seeing their replies, Lin Miao smiled with satisfaction. She thought for a moment and also posted to her social media feed.

A picture of someone laughing through tears, accompanied by the four words: "The innocent will clear themselves."

Within a few minutes, a bunch of people were saying they supported her and believed her.

Let's see what Shu Xia can do now!

——

Ten minutes later.

Lin Miao was already in a good mood, applying a facial mask.

Waiting to go out later to meet friends for some shopping.

She only needed to act aggrieved, and her three brothers would be able to settle this matter. Besides, Shu Xia couldn't stir up any trouble now; even if the video was discovered, public relations would cover up the truth of the video, so she had nothing to worry about.

Just at this moment.

Lin Qi spoke in their group chat of four.

His tone was very urgent.

"Lin Xu, how is the public relations department at the company doing things? Why are there so many messages targeting Miaomiao online again?! No, wait, the video on here..."

"Miaomiao, did you and Fu Chenyan go to a hotel to get a room?"
