The scumbag Bai Lianhua was abused, and Li Shao specifically asked to marry her

Snapped--

Xia Lin's father's slap was merciless. She took a step back and bumped into the taxi before she could barely stand.

Stunned by the beating, Charlene was about to explode in anger when she turned around and met her father's angry gaze.

At this moment, they seemed to be sworn enemies, their eyes filled with obvious hatred.

"dad--"

Charlene covered her face and called out timidly.

"Don't call me Dad! How could I have given birth to such a useless person like you! Not only are you inferior to your sister in every way, but now you've caused trouble and dragged her and the family into it!"

Being compared to her second sister was something Xia Lin had long been used to.

But since joining Xingyao, I haven't heard such mockery for a long time.

Xia Lin is the youngest daughter in the Xia family, with an older brother and a second older sister. She grew up with her parents comparing the children to each other.

Her older siblings were excellent students from a young age, while she was always the one who was overlooked.

Even though she worked extremely hard in the past, she still couldn't compare to the glory of her older brothers and sisters.

Hearing such mockery again, Xia Lin's heart still ached sharply, but what puzzled her most at the moment was what exactly caused the current situation.

Seeing her father's furious anger, Xia Lin knew that it wasn't just because she had provoked Tang Tang.

Regardless of the extent to which Du Wenxuan could do for that woman, the implication from his father's words was that other family members had already been implicated.

Then this matter should not have been the work of Du Wenxuan.

It wasn't that she looked down on Du Wenxuan, but rather that her eldest brother and second sister were in different fields.

Although the eldest brother runs a supermarket with his father, he also has his own business outside. Although he is not very successful, he is a well-known figure in the racing industry.

My second sister won several design awards abroad and has just returned to China after completing her studies.

Even though Du Wenxuan is very successful in the entertainment industry, Xia Lin doesn't believe he has such means to get involved in so many fields, or what kind of crisis he could bring to them.

So who exactly is it? And why?

Xia Lin remained silent and followed her father toward their villa.

Before I could even ask what happened after I entered the house, I was slapped again.

Looking up, she met her furious second sister's eyes, which held an undisguised murderous glint.

Standing behind him was his older brother, who hadn't been home for a long time, and his complexion wasn't much better.

"Big brother, second sister."

She called out to the two of them weakly, but hesitated to look up and meet their gaze.

"Charlene! How dare you!"

"You're really not very capable, but you've caused a lot of trouble!"

Second sister Xia Nan's every word was sarcastic, showing no regard for the fact that the person in front of her was her own sister.

Hearing his second sister's complaints, the eldest brother, Xia Cheng, threw whatever he was holding at Xia Lin without any mercy.

The sharp paper grazed Charlene's face, leaving a red mark that slowly bled.

Xia's mother wanted to go forward to comfort her, but when she inadvertently glanced at the words on the papers scattered on the ground, all the remaining pity and heartache vanished.

If it weren't for her youngest daughter getting into trouble, she would still be getting beauty treatments and shopping right now, instead of being so overwhelmed by these issues.

"Look what you've done! The Su family's lawyer's letter has already been sent to our home!"

Seeing the gleaming lawyer's letter on the ground, Charlene finally understood where everyone's anger towards her came from.

But at this moment, she still stubbornly believed that she had gotten into trouble because she had offended Tang Tang, and she even tried to explain herself. However, her father's questioning made her fall into despair once again.

"I really don't know who gave you the guts to spread rumors about the Meng family! Now look what's happened, not only the Su family, but all the tech companies that suffered losses because of your nonsense have also filed a lawsuit against you! If you don't handle this matter properly and it affects the rest of the family, you can get out of this house!"

--boom--

In an instant, Charlene felt as if her world had collapsed.

I never imagined that a few words I said back then would cause me so much trouble.

But how did they find out? Did Jia Hao betray them?

Xia Lin, who always had a good sense of self, still felt that Jia Hao loved her so much that it couldn't possibly be him.

But she overlooked the fact that the man who once loved her deeply hadn't contacted her in a long time.

"No, it's impossible!"

Unable to bear the affected manner of the person in front of her, the second sister of the Xia family slapped Xia Lin across the face again.

"Why not? The lawyer's letter is right there on the ground, and it was personally delivered by Attorney Yan! You really have a lot of influence, with so many big shots getting involved because of you!"

Perhaps it was the series of blows that finally brought Charlene back to her senses.

I crouched down and picked up the stack of lawyer's letters, and there her name appeared in black and white on the paper.

"I...I'll go apologize and ask for their forgiveness—"

Gone was her former arrogance. Charlene knelt on the ground, tears streaming uncontrollably down her face, looking truly pitiful.

"Mom, why don't you go apologize too? Last time you talked back to Miss Su in the office, the Su family must have found out, otherwise they wouldn't be taking it out on me!"

As soon as the words were spoken, the rest of the Xia family turned their gazes to Xia's mother, who had remained silent behind them.

No one knew what happened at Xingyao Media that day. After Xia's mother returned, she forgot about it. From time to time, she would only complain about Xia Lin for being ungrateful and having to quit her job.

It was as if she had never been involved in the matter, or ever appeared in Du Wenxuan's office.

"What happened, Mom? How did you offend Miss Su?"

The first to speak was Xia's eldest brother, his eyes filled with doubt and anger, as if warning Xia's mother that she would not let the matter rest until she received a satisfactory answer.

Even if it's not mentioned, Xia's mother has no way to refute this matter.

"I--"

Her hesitant demeanor gave Xia Lin the perfect opportunity to continue bringing up what happened that day.

“That day, my mother went to the company to find me and insisted that the president reinstate me to my original position. She even argued with the company’s largest shareholder, Su Mengyan, who is the youngest daughter of the Meng family. She was also recently recognized and the whole family dotes on her.”

Her words seemed to imply that Xia's mother had offended the Su family's little princess.

Looking at Xia Lin, who was slumped on the ground, and her mother, who was clearly flustered, everyone had different expressions.

But Xia's father, who always unconditionally doted on his wife and was extremely love-struck, couldn't bear to see her so frightened, so he immediately reprimanded her.

"Cry, cry, cry! All you do is cry! Your mother did all this for you!"

His protective demeanor was a far cry from his previous angry rebuke of Xia Lin.

But since it involved elders, no one else said anything more, and in the end, Xia Lin's goal was achieved.
