In the hotel, Zhao Miaomiao and Lv Jian had also been exposed.
Though they were just supporting characters in Lin Ran's PowerPoint presentation, their roles were absolutely explosive. Moreover, they had tried to capitalize on Lin Ran's scandal for revenge and clout—such people were truly disgusting.
Of course, Lin Ran hadn't revealed Wu Zhishang's past, as that was his brother's deepest pain.
Right now, only people within Nuanyao Group had some guesses about it.
Lin Ran knew that even now, Wu Zhishang still held feelings for Zhao Miaomiao.
Though reconciliation was impossible, the love was definitely still there.
Because he had once been that kind of person too.
"Zhao Miaomiao, Lv Jian, both of you need to get out of our hotel immediately."
"Why? We already paid."
"There’s a crowd outside looking for you. If you don’t leave now, you won’t be able to. Do you really want to get cornered by netizens here?"
The two of them were dumbfounded—had they known it would come to this, they wouldn’t have messed with Lin Ran.
How could a freeloader have this much influence?
As soon as they packed their things and stepped out of the room, the hotel staff slammed the door behind them.
"Ugh! What a disgrace."
Zhao Miaomiao instantly exploded—no one, let alone a hotel employee, had ever dared to mock her like this before.
"What did you just say?"
The staff member pointed down the hallway. "You really want me to repeat it?"
In the end, Zhao Miaomiao and Lv Jian were cornered. Waves of verbal attacks later, they broke down and called the police.
The officers rescued them, but Zhao Miaomiao immediately declared she would make those people pay.
The officer shrugged. "That’s not our jurisdiction. You’ll have to take it to court."
Furious, Zhao Miaomiao fainted on the spot, while Lv Jian lost all his usual arrogance.
At the estate, Lin Ran was still being affectionate with Luo Yao.
"Yao Yao, this time, the Lin family is completely finished."
"But I still feel like it’s not enough."
After all, the Lin family members were still alive.
In her past life, she had died.
If she let the people who killed her off this easily, then what was the point of living again?
What kind of man doesn’t seek revenge?
"Ah Ran, whatever you want to do, I’ll support you. Go all out—don’t forget, your wife is Luo Yao."
Lin Ran immediately feigned anger.
"What are you talking about? I’d forget myself before I’d forget you. You’re my pillar of strength."
Luo Yao smiled in satisfaction. If Lin Ran remained dependent on her like this, that would be perfect.
"Ah Ran, Samsung’s delegation is coming tomorrow. Can I go to the company?"
Lin Ran frowned. "You’re still injured—be careful."
"Don’t worry, I know my limits."
Lin Ran sighed. "Good. If you worsen your injuries because you weren’t careful, I’ll lock you up and never let you out again."
Luo Yao laughed, genuinely happy.
"Fine, lock me up then. We’ll stay locked up together—neither of us leaves."
Lin Ran immediately raised his hands in surrender. "I was just joking. How could I ever lock up such an adorable wife?"
The next day arrived quickly. After leaving the estate, Lin Ran and Luo Yao parted ways near Luo Corporation’s office building.
The moment Lin Ran was gone, Luo Yao’s expression turned icy, almost inhuman.
"Wrap up the Samsung negotiations quickly. We’re visiting the prison afterward."
The negotiations were just an excuse—venting her fury was the real goal.
Her tenderness at the estate had often been an act. These past two days, she had been seething over Lin Ran’s renewed entanglement with Liu Ruxue.
Though the PR team had silenced public discussion, she couldn’t control what people thought.
Even if they didn’t say it out loud, their minds were still poisoned. Luo Yao couldn’t stand it.
She needed to do something—to unleash her rage.
Meanwhile, outside Nuanyao Group’s building, during the morning rush, Zhao Miaomiao had been waiting by Wu Zhishang’s Ferrari all night.
After leaving the police station, she had completely broken down—and then suddenly remembered Wu Zhishang.
She used to wait for him after work every day, but he always managed to evade her. Eventually, the growing crowds of netizens outside Nuanyao Group forced her to give up.
Now, she was back, seeking Wu Zhishang again—without Lv Jian by her side.
Finally, Wu Zhishang appeared, accompanied by three women.
Two of them were Chen Qingtian, a top-tier celebrity returning to the company after filming, along with her manager and assistant, Pei Qianqian. The third was Wu Zhishang’s new assistant, Zhang Xinyan.
Zhao Miaomiao froze. Forget whether a superstar like Chen Qingtian would have anything to do with Wu Zhishang—just look at the woman behind him.
Not only was her beauty leagues above Zhao Miaomiao’s, but her figure was flawless—curves in all the right places. A total bombshell.
Since when had Wu Zhishang become such a playboy? Men really were all the same.
"Zhishang!" she called out. Wu Zhishang’s face darkened.
Truthfully, he had spotted Zhao Miaomiao from afar. She had been lurking around the company lately, and he had been avoiding her, even abandoning his own car.
As her former simp, he could recognize the woman who had betrayed him from a mile away.
He had planned to slip past her, but she blocked his path.
"Don’t call me that. You can address me as Mr. Wu or Wu Zhishang, but not by my given name. I don’t deserve it."
Ignoring him, Zhao Miaomiao pointed at Zhang Xinyan. "Who is she?"
Chen Qingtian’s eyes lit up with amusement, settling in to watch the drama unfold.
Zhang Xinyan, meanwhile, looked entertained, making no move to explain herself.
She had only speculated about Wu Zhishang and Zhao Miaomiao’s relationship after Lin Ran’s livestream, but she knew nothing concrete.
Still, seeing someone give Wu Zhishang trouble delighted her.
"What’s it to you?" Wu Zhishang shot back.
"You—I never thought you were this kind of person, sneaking around with other women behind my back!"
Zhang Xinyan had been indifferent at first, but the accusation annoyed her.
Did this woman really think she could slander her for free?
So, she deliberately hooked her arm through Wu Zhishang’s.
"Boss, didn’t you promise to spend tonight with me?"
Wu Zhishang stiffened. Though he was the company president, he was still inexperienced when it came to women’s advances.
Chen Qingtian stifled a laugh. His reaction was exactly the same as when they first met.
After all this time, he was still so shy and awkward.
If possible, she wouldn’t mind adding him to her collection of male admirers.
Zhao Miaomiao’s eyes widened. "You—Wu Zhishang, you shameless jerk!"

nd fell into a coma while saving his younger sister from an out-of-control car. He became a vegetable. No one knew that his consciousness had crossed into a world of cultivation. Over the course of sixty years, he began as the lowest kind of mine slave, struggling to survive amid mountains of corpses and seas of blood. By sheer chance, he eventually obtained the complete memories of a fallen Immortal King. Alchemy, medicine, formations, feng shui, physiognomy, artifact forging… Every great inheritance of the cultivation world was now his. But when he opened his eyes again, he discovered that ten full years had passed in the modern world. To pay for his treatment, his father had sold the family’s shop and house, leaving himself covered in lasting injuries and illness. His mother had cared for him day and night, and more than half of her hair had already turned white. His younger sister, who had been only fifteen back then, was now twenty-five. To help repay the family’s debts, she had been forced to lower her head and put on a smiling face in places of glittering lights and endless revelry. Only then did Chen Xuan understand that what he had lost was not merely ten years. He had lost the life his entire family was meant to have. The good news was that he had brought back the memories of an Immortal King’s entire lifetime. The bad news was that his soul had returned alone—his cultivation had not come with him. Spiritual energy was scarce, resources were depleted, and the modern world still had firearms, surveillance, capital, and laws. If he wanted to protect his family, break free from everyone’s control, and become truly invincible beneath the heavens, he would have to start all over again.
