Lei Siren never expected that Lin Yu, this bastard, was waiting for him right here!
As soon as they walked through the door today, Lin Yu aggressively confronted Wang Ran.
There would definitely be more friction when they interacted later.
But this had absolutely nothing to do with Lei Siren!
He had no desire to wade into these muddy waters.
Now, after Lin Yu's twists and turns, he miraculously found himself standing in opposition to Wang Ran.
If he refused now and said he didn't want to provoke Wang Ran...
Would Lin Yu let him off the hook?!
"Young Master Lei, why the hesitation?"
"Weren't you just laughing at her getting put in her place?"
Lin Yu emphasized it again, his hand unconsciously tightening its grip on Lei Siren's shoulder.
Lei Siren quickly straightened his back and replied,
"Hesitation? I'm not hesitating!"
"I was just thinking if there's any good way to teach that woman, Wang Ran, a lesson!"
"I'm helping to come up with ideas, hahaha."
"Brother Lin Yu, you know, this is her turf after all."
"We should still..."
"Not go too far, right?"
As if Lei Siren could come up with any ideas.
He just wanted to persuade Lin Yu not to be so extreme in his actions.
Unexpectedly.
Lin Yu's smile only grew wider.
He looked at Lei Siren with disdain and said,
"Her turf? Who does she think she is!"
"Isn't this the turf of my wife and my sister-in-law?"
Hearing this, Xia Yiwei immediately nodded repeatedly like a chicken pecking at rice.
Even the usually serious Xia Xiashan played along with Lin Yu.
She gave a slight nod, showing her agreement with Lin Yu's words.
"Heh, hahaha, yes, yes, yes!"
"Look at me, I almost forgot who the real masters are."
"That's right, this is the Xia family. Sister Xiashan and Yiwei are the hosts."
"It's just that Wang Ran has a pretty good relationship with Uncle Xia, so we..."
Lei Siren's underlying meaning was very obvious.
He wanted to point out the special nature of Wang Ran's status.
Lin Yu grabbed Lei Siren's gesturing arm and said with great confidence,
"Young Master Lei, you can put your mind completely at ease."
"Later, you just need to cooperate well with me, and there will absolutely be no problems."
"Unless... you don't want to cooperate with me at all and are still holding a grudge?"
Lei Siren immediately denied it,
"How is that possible!"
"What grudge do we have?"
"I... I'm definitely willing to cooperate with you."
Lei Siren really wanted to slap himself twice.
He knew very well that Lin Yu was most likely digging a pit for him, but now he could only bite the bullet and jump in.
It was Xia Xiashan's first time seeing Lin Yu's evil little schemes, and she couldn't help but think a bit more highly of him.
At the same time.
She also truly saw through Lei Siren's playboy facade.
When encountering someone he feared, he didn't even have a shred of courage to resist.
No wonder when her father had proposed that Yiwei get to know Lei Siren, Yiwei had refused so directly.
Fortunately, the two of them didn't end up together.
Lei Siren was absolutely not a man worth entrusting oneself to.
...
Auntie Zhang, the housekeeper, prepared fruit for Lin Yu and Lei Siren in the side hall.
According to Xia Yiwei.
Every time guests came to the house, her father would receive them here.
It didn't matter to Lin Yu where he waited.
The first thing he did when he had a free moment was to turn on his virtual computer and successfully access the villa's public network.
In less than three minutes.
Lin Yu had completely investigated the background of the entire Xia family, especially Xia Zhenfeng.
When visiting someone's home as a guest, one should at least understand their background first.
Xia Zhenfeng himself did not practice martial arts; in his youth, he was a bona fide entrepreneur.
His deceased wife, the mother of Xia Xiashan and Xia Yiwei, was the one who came from a martial arts family.
After Xia Yiwei's mother passed away, Xia Zhenfeng must have had a few years of depression.
This could be analyzed from the profitability of the companies he managed.
Whether his mind had suffered too great a shock.
Or if he suddenly figured life out.
Xia Zhenfeng's temperament suddenly changed a few years ago, and he began to recklessly enjoy life.
This was what led to the outbreak of conflict with his daughter.
The direct result was that Xia Yiwei became self-reliant and left home.
The businesses run by the Xia family seemed to have the help of a mysterious benefactor, successively turning losses into profits.
Nowadays, in the dairy business of the entire northern region, almost no one could rival the group under Xia Zhenfeng.
Looking at it roughly, Lin Yu had the illusion of accidentally trespassing into a royal household.
The lives of such people should have been very distant from him.
But now, it was genuinely presented right before his eyes.
And he couldn't just turn a blind eye to it.
Lin Yu didn't continue to dig deeper into the rest of the Xia family's assets.
He had only done it to gather intelligence in advance and know his enemy as well as himself.
He didn't care about their commercial secrets.
Furthermore.
Apart from the cash figures, he couldn't understand the other things at all.
He didn't have the spare time to ponder over such things bit by bit.
"Welcome, it's been a long time since our house had guests."
"So many coming at once today, how lively."
Wang Ran had changed into a sexy red dress and strolled into the reception room.
Her words, carrying a hidden meaning, directly foreshadowed that the atmosphere of the upcoming chat would be full of gunpowder.
Anyway, when they walked through the door, he had already spoken out and offended Wang Ran.
Lin Yu didn't expect them to have a happy chat.
Since she was unwilling to show weakness, he might as well carry the provocation through to the end!
"Many guests? Are there many?"
"Isn't it just Young Master Lei and me as the two guests?"
"This..."
"Oh!!!"
"I get it!"
"Auntie Wang means that Sister Xiashan and Yiwei are also guests?"
"Look at my comprehension skills, you spoke too vaguely, I almost didn't catch that."

uld barely embark on the path to immortality. Just as he was on the verge of death, his golden finger awakened. No matter whether it was poison, drained blood and vital energy, diminished lifespan, or any other physical debuff caused by paying a price—once midnight passed, everything would be refreshed. From then on, whenever someone asked what kind of person Chu Ran was, the answer was simple: Forbidden arts that other cultivators dared not learn? Chu Ran would learn them. Prices that even demonic cultivators dared not pay? Chu Ran would pay them. Lifespan that even righteous cultivators dared not burn? Chu Ran would burn it. All the blood essence in his body? Take it. Want both his hands and feet? He would cut them off and send them to you. You say he’s finished? He wasn’t built to sit idle. You think he’s gone mad? No—he was simply waiting for midnight. From that day onward, Chu Ran would respect neither Heaven nor Earth, bow to neither gods nor ghosts. He had only one wish: For midnight to arrive a little sooner.
ions, keeping it grounded and realistic】 After quitting his job, office worker Su Yang accidentally binds with the "Enjoy Life System." As the name suggests, simply by indulging in life's pleasures, he can earn random rewards from the system—no need to spend money on beautiful women or grovel before anyone. Just enjoy, and the money follows, making it all about effortless fun. The system comes with a scanning feature, allowing him to establish a favorability bond with women rated 85 points or above. Every 20-point increase in favorability unlocks additional rewards.

he colors of other people’s emotions. Light red meant anxiety. Gray meant exhaustion. Orange meant excitement. Yellow... meant repression. At the same time, he could gain unlimited control over one of those colors. Pale cyan: relaxation. Using this ability, he started offering “two-yuan hugs,” spending an afternoon exchanging emotional-color experiences with others. Then came his final female customer of the day— a girl whose emotional color was pure black... —— A week later, Xu Chuan had become skilled at using pale cyan—Relaxation—treating it like a bottle of menthol balm whenever he needed it. That was when he discovered he had unlocked another unlimited emotional color: Purple, the color of fear. So these emotional colors refresh every week? Fine, I take it back—I’ll never call you useless again... —— Much later, after Xu Chuan had accumulated countless emotional abilities, one night, he suddenly found himself inside someone else’s dream. There, he could use the emotional colors he possessed to paint. And in her dream, he painted her a shower of pink shooting stars, spreading across the depths of the night sky...
