Chapter 303: The Breakup
There on the phone screen was Grandpa Jiang’s face.
Jiang Shuqin reminisced about the past. Back then, when she was bullied by others, Lin Chang saved her, and she fell head over heels for him at first sight. Eventually, they got together.
Who would’ve thought that neither Dad nor Brother were down with their relationship.
They went all out to make things hard for Lin Chang.
They always claimed they loved her most, but in reality, they just wanted control over her. She didn’t even have the right to choose her true love.
She began to hate them.
To escape from that suffocating family, she secretly used company resources to help Lin Chang’s Starlight Group grow.
Later, when Starlight Group faced difficulties and needed ten billion in funds…
She planned to transfer the money to Lin Chang again.
But this time, Dad and Brother found out. Their gazes seemed so disappointed in her.
Hmph, how hilarious.
What did they have to be disappointed about?
If they hadn’t tried so hard to stop her from being with Lin Chang, she wouldn’t have resorted to stealing company funds in the first place.
They said the company’s capital chain had broken and that the money came from bank loans.
If she took it, the company would face a massive crisis.
She didn’t believe them.
With such a big family business, how could there possibly be a capital chain break?
So they must’ve been lying to her.
In the end, they gave her two choices.
One: Break off relations with Lin Chang.
Two: They wouldn’t stop her from taking the money, but from that day forward, the Jiang family would have nothing to do with her.
They were forcing her out of the Jiang family.
At the time, Lin Chang treated her so well; she only felt warmth from him.
Without hesitation, she chose the second option.
She left the Jiang family.
After that, she never paid attention to any news about the Jiangs again.
Jiang Liangjun, her biological father.
This was the first time in all these years since leaving the Jiang family that she saw him—even if it was just on her phone.
Jiang Shuqin remembered what Jiang Liangjun had said—Lin Chang wasn’t a good person.
Then her mind flashed back to the scene of Lin Chang and Wang Yajun in bed together.
Jiang Shuqin’s eyes darkened.
No.
She wasn’t wrong.
Even if Lin Chang wasn’t devoted to her, so what?
Back in the day, Lin Chang was good to her. Even now that he cheated, her three daughters and Brother Li had grown up and started working. In the future, she could still rely on them for happiness!
Her life was still sweet as ever!
Not long after, Lin Qingwan returned too. Lin Qingxiu had already gone back to her room, and Lin Chang had gone to the company.
Only Jiang Shuqin sat alone on the couch, wiping away tears secretly.
“Mom, what’s wrong?” Lin Qingwan asked curiously.
“It’s nothing.”
Jiang Shuqin forced a smile. “Wan’er, come here.”
Lin Qingwan sat beside Jiang Shuqin.
“Wan’er,” Jiang Shuqin held Lin Qingwan’s hand. “Mom is lucky to have you all around.”
If only she hadn’t given birth to Lin Xuan, everything would’ve been perfect.
“Mom, no matter what happens, I’ll always be by your side,” Lin Qingwan said.
“Good, good, good.”
Jiang Shuqin smiled with relief and wiped the tears from her face.
“Wan’er, you know about Sister Xiù’s situation, right?” Jiang Shuqin asked.
“Yeah,” Lin Qingwan nodded.
“She quit her job at the hospital and got scolded by Dad. She’s really upset. Go comfort her,” Jiang Shuqin said.
“Okay,” Lin Qingwan agreed. She had rushed back from work because she was worried about Xiù.
She entered Lin Qingxiu’s room.
The table was covered with used tissues. Lin Qingxiu had cried until her eyes were swollen. “Big Sister, Lin Xuan set me up to fail!”
Lin Qingwan stayed silent.
She knew the whole story.
It started with Xiù being too aggressive.
Still, Little Xuan was also at fault. He should’ve stopped her when he saw her making mistakes.
If he had, Xiù might’ve seen Little Xuan’s good side, which could’ve helped mend their relationship.
Now it seemed Xiù’s prejudice against Little Xuan was getting worse.
Lin Qingwan was troubled.
Little Xuan and the Lin family seemed to be drifting further apart.
“Xiù,” Lin Qingwan sighed, comforting her. “It’s fine that you quit the hospital. You can come work at the company, or you could open your own lab. Big Sister will invest in you.”
“Thank you, Big Sister.” Lin Qingxiu wiped away her tears.
That afternoon,
As Lin Qingxiu arrived at the press conference site, people who’d been waiting there threw vegetable leaves at her the moment she stepped out of the car.
“Quack! Get out of the medical field!”
“Speak up! How many people have you killed?”
“Being the daughter of the Lin family makes you special, huh? Just because your family has money, you don’t care about ordinary people’s lives, huh?”
Listening to these accusations, Lin Qingxiu felt deeply wronged.
Previously, every patient registered under her name had been cured. One mistake erased all her previous achievements.
Lin Qingxiu wanted to defend herself, but these people wouldn’t listen.
She could only lower her head and sneak into the press conference hall.

Su Hua and Lin Xuan didn’t go to sleep until four in the morning yesterday, so they woke up a bit late today.
Butler Wang glanced at the clock and chuckled approvingly. “Seems like Miss and Young Master Lin had quite the intense night last night.”
At one in the afternoon,
Lin Xuan woke up first. Su Hua was still hugging his waist, sound asleep. Her lips curled slightly upward, as if she was having a pleasant dream. Sleeping peacefully, she looked exceptionally serene and beautiful.
Lin Xuan couldn’t resist touching her brows and eyes.
He used to be blind, didn’t he? Such an amazing woman, yet he didn’t cherish her, chasing after Qin Ruoyao like some lovesick puppy instead.
His hand slid down to Su Hua’s red lips, and suddenly, his gaze landed on the marks on her neck.
Cough.
Yesterday, Hua Bao was such a temptress that he lost control and left countless marks on her porcelain-like skin.
Feeling guilty, Lin Xuan tried to pull his hand back.
At that moment, Su Hua woke up.
“Ah Xuan,” Su Hua flipped over and pressed herself against Lin Xuan. Her fingers traced patterns on Lin Xuan’s chest. “What are you doing, hmm?”

Today’s update is a little late. The author isn’t in the best mood and got carried away playing games. Little Ludiant got beaten badly while trying to climb ranks in Star Platinum tier, losing all focus on writing. With the month coming to an end, I want to take a small break.
Hope Bosses approve my leave. Muah.
Thanks to everyone for the flowers and twenty-five love letters from Chen An Gui. Heartfelt gratitude.
Thanks to Lone Star and Mu Yuqing who loves vegetable noodles for the inspiration capsules.
