Chapter 810

~5 min read 860 words

Everyone in the hospital room fell silent at once.

Not a single person spoke.

Just a moment ago, there were still people whispering and discussing what exactly was going on with Shu Xia and Chen Xiuyue.

There is no place in this world that lacks gossip.

But now, they suddenly felt that the fact some people had ended up in a situation where no one cared for them was all retribution.

What parent wishes for their child to suffer in their place? They all wish they could bear all the suffering for their child, but what had Chen Xiuyue, who was a mother, just said?

Chen Xiuyue had actually wanted her daughter to get into a car accident for her.

Even a tiger does not eat its own cubs; no wonder she had ended up in her current situation!

"So that is your true thought," Shu Xia said coldly, expressionless.

Chen Xiuyue was stunned for a moment, then reacted, becoming somewhat flustered and at a loss. "I... I... I didn't mean that! I am your mother, you cannot shirk your responsibility. Lin Bin and the others cannot take care of me; they don't have the money to hire servants to wait on me. Only you—you have money now. If you hire eight or ten servants to take care of me, it won't affect you much. I didn't give birth to you for nothing! *Cough, cough, cough*... I am your mother, that Jiang Ye didn't give birth to you, she only raised you. What right do you have to be good to her and not to me?"

Shu Xia felt there was no need to listen to Chen Xiuyue's nonsense anymore, nor was there any need to say anything else to Chen Xiuyue.

She lifted her foot and walked directly toward the outside.

Just as she was about to reach the hospital room door, the door was suddenly kicked open by someone.

Lin Bin and Lin Xu barged in together.

They stared at Shu Xia with fierce, menacing expressions.

"You aren't walking out of here today. You must fulfill the responsibility you ought to fulfill. Mom is right; when the car came, why didn't you run over and push Mom away? The one who should have been in the car accident was you; it should have been you who became a disabled person! It is you who has made us all live poorly now." Lin Xu's face was beet red, and he looked at Shu Xia angrily.

They had been listening outside the whole time.

As it turned out, they heard that Shu Xia wasn't taking responsibility, but rather that Shu Xia was leaving.

That was not what they wanted to see.

Lin Bin's face was dark: "Mom's condition is very bad right now. The doctor says she doesn't have much time left. You haven't really shown much filial piety anyway. In Mom's final days, giving you a chance to show filial piety so you won't have regrets is for your own good, to save you from regretting it later."

"Besides, you earn a lot now and have Qiao Muting to rely on. You can provide Mom with a better medical environment and find more specialists to treat Mom; maybe Mom could even live a few more years."

These excuses sounded like they had been prepared long ago.

Shu Xia looked at Lin Bin and Lin Xu with icy eyes.

They hadn't looked for her for a while, and she had originally thought they had learned their lesson and that not bothering each other in the future would be the best ending. She hadn't expected them to still be unwilling to give up.

Seeing that Shu Xia still didn't say a word and was just looking at them coldly, Lin Bin and Lin Xu felt somewhat guilty.

"You... what are you looking at? Speak up! We are just waiting for you to help Mom transfer hospitals. Qiao Muting has a private hospital, and the medical conditions inside are excellent. With just one word from you, you could have Mom transferred there," Lin Bin said, squinting his eyes as he stared at Shu Xia.

Lin Xu also followed up: "That's right, for you guys, it's just a matter of one word, don't be so calculating! We are your family; we are your own brothers. When Shu Chen had an incident, you tried every way to help, but when I had an incident, you stood by and watched coldly. Whose sister are you, anyway?"

The matter regarding Shu Chen and Qin Wei had been making a huge stir over the past two days.

He had even taken the opportunity to smear Shu Chen in various ways, wanting to make Shu Chen taste the feeling of being forced to retire from the industry.

But he hadn't expected that the situation would turn around at the end, that Shu Chen would successfully handle the PR, and that the one who ended up withdrawing from the entertainment industry was Qin Wei! With the two sharp contrasts, he felt even more that he had been wronged. Why wouldn't Shu Xia help him, but instead help Shu Chen?
