Chapter 89

Thinking about how her drinking this time was somewhat unreasonable, she felt a bit embarrassed.

She didn't know what was wrong with her lately; she was always feeling insecure.

When they got married, Huo Jingyan had promised her that he would treat her well for the rest of his life; their childhood sweetheart romance was envied and blessed by so many people, so she should trust him.

Shu Xia laughed as she listened, "So it turns out you came to the bar to drink your sorrows away because you called someone and they didn't pick up."

Jiang Nannan felt utterly ashamed.

"I think I've sobered up; should we go wait at the entrance of the bar?" Jiang Nannan regretted it to death.

Shu Xia did not like the foul atmosphere inside the bar, so she helped Jiang Nannan walk out.

In a corner of the bar, Lin Qi and Lin Xu were drinking.

Looking up, they saw Shu Xia and another girl they didn't recognize walking out of the bar.

"Shu Xia? Why did she come to a bar? I called her earlier and she wouldn't pick up at all; I'm going to chase after her and ask her properly." Lin Xu stood up and went straight after her.

Lin Qi followed along as well.

There had been many things happening at home recently, and the family hadn't been able to reach Shu Xia, which had caused their mother to fall ill over the past two days.

Thinking of this, Lin Qi's face turned gloomy; he wished Shu Xia wasn't their sister.

When the two of them chased outside, Jiang Nannan was just being picked up by the arriving Huo Jingyan, and Shu Xia was also walking toward her own car.

Having only walked a few steps, someone blocked her path.

Shu Xia had originally thought it was a drunkard from the bar, but when she saw it was Lin Qi and Lin Xu, her face turned cold.

"Shu Xia, you're learning to be worse and worse; first you moved out of the house, and now you're being kept by someone. Can't you do something that we can actually respect? You are coming home with me right now." Lin Xu grabbed Shu Xia's hand, intending to leave.

He was truly afraid that one day the news media would discover his sibling relationship with Shu Xia and then expose the fact that Shu Xia was being kept and had wronged her own boyfriend; that would definitely affect his acting career.

Lin Qi said with a dark, gloomy face, "Go home and apologize to Mom and Dad first, then you will call Zhang Tezhu to the house; we cannot let you be with him in such an unclear way."

Listening to them say "kept" in every sentence, and "apologize" in every other, and finally dragging Zhang Tezhu into it, Shu Xia sneered.

Her hand twisted under Lin Xu's grip, and her other hand clamped onto the palm of Lin Xu's hand.

Lin Xu let out a loud cry, "What are you doing!"

Not knowing what point had been pinched, it instantly made him see stars from the pain.

"I should be the one asking you, what do you want to do?" Shu Xia asked with no expression.

These two brothers—she had also tried hard to please them before; she knew Lin Qi had some cervical spine issues, so she had personally made him a medicinal herb pillow and taught him some methods to exercise his neck, but Lin Qi had thrown the pillow she gave him into the storage room without even looking at it.

And then there was Lin Xu; because he often stayed up late filming, the small tea bags she made for Shu Chen were also given to Lin Xu, but Lin Xu had been very disdainful at the time and turned around and gave them to the household servants.

They really would trample a person's sincerity into the dirt.

Not far away, a car happened to pass by the front of Meise Bar.

Qiao Muting, sitting in the car, smelled slightly of alcohol and had a slight headache; just as he was pressing his index finger against his head to relieve the pain, Zhang Tezhu exclaimed, "Miss Shu!"

Qiao Muting looked over at the sound.

He saw Shu Xia on the side of the road, with two men in front of her glaring at her, as if Shu Xia were some kind of flood dragon or wild beast that couldn't be approached, making them look utterly disgusted.
