Forget it, let's not talk about that bad luck. Li, hurry up and eat, Jiang Shuqin said.
Mm. Lin Li nodded.
A glint of malice flashed through his eyes.
That Chen Mo definitely hated Lin Xuan to the bone. Perhaps he could use Chen Mo to deal with Lin Xuan.
Lin Xuan had been comfortable for too long; it was time to find him some trouble.
There were several dishes on the table.
Jiang Shuqin picked at the food on her plate, her brows tightly knit.
In the past, the Lin family had always dined on exotic delicacies from land and sea.
Now? They were eating the kind of pork, beef, and mutton that common families ate.
She truly had no appetite for these things whatsoever.
Jiang Shuqin put down her chopsticks. I'm full. Li, take your time eating.
Okay.
Lin Li responded. After eating a little more, he took a bowl and filled it with some food to take upstairs. He intended to bring it to Lin Qingwan.
Although Lin Qingwan's company had gone bankrupt and collapsed, she still had considerable savings on hand.
He was still counting on Lin Qingwan to invest in him, so he had to suck up to her and curry favor.
At least until he had swindled every last cent out of her pockets.
Inside Lin Qingwan's room.
The floor was covered in beer bottles. Lin Qingwan sat on the ground, her clothes and hair in disarray, looking completely dazed and muddled.
Big Sister.
Lin Li pushed the door open and walked in.
You must be hungry. I brought you some food.
Lin Qingwan truly had no appetite.
Take it away. I'm not hungry yet.
Lin Li placed the food on the table. Big Sister, you should eat a little. Don't ruin your health by starving yourself. Seeing you like this only pains those who love you and gladdens your enemies.
You're right...
The corners of Lin Qingwan's lips curled into a bitter smile. Xiao Xuan hates me so much. He hates me to the point that even after I treated him so well later on, he still wanted to destroy my company and ruin my life. He must feel very satisfied seeing me like this.
Xiao Xuan, oh Xiao Xuan, you really have such a cruel heart.
Big Sister, Lin Li said with a frown, as long as you pull yourself together, you can still have a chance to start over.
A chance to start over? Lin Qingwan smiled bitterly. Where would I get a chance to start over? The labels of plagiarism and creating skincare products that disfigure people's faces are already firmly carved onto me. In the future, no matter what skincare products I research, no one will buy them.
Even if she ran off to open a different company, if her past were exposed, it would undoubtedly have a terrible impact on the new business.
She could not afford to fail again.
Big Sister, you still have me, Lin Li said. Don't worry, I will help you. I will help the Lin family rise again.
A smile finally appeared on Lin Qingwan's face. Li, thank you for coming to comfort me so often these past few days. Otherwise, I wouldn't know how to hold on.
You are my eldest sister. The eldest sister is like a mother; staying by your side is what I should do. Lin Li smiled.
Lin Qingwan was very moved.
Li was indeed the younger brother she had doted on since childhood.
Lin Qingwan suddenly thought of Lin Xuan again.
She had done so much for Xiao Xuan, yet Xiao Xuan refused to acknowledge her kindness.
She had neglected Xiao Xuan in the past, yes, but for the last two years, she had truly treated him very, very well. She had even promised him that once her company developed further, she would be his backing.
She never expected that Xiao Xuan would have absolutely no regard for their sibling bond, joining forces with outsiders to drive her company into bankruptcy...
Lin Li sat quietly with Lin Qingwan for a long time. Finally, when he could no longer tolerate it, he spoke up. Big Sister, I won't disturb you anymore. You should rest quietly for a while.
After leaving Lin Qingwan's room, Lin Li returned to his own room. He picked up his phone and browsed the information on the internet.
Chen Mo.
Lin Li let out a cold laugh.
Because of Lin Xuan, Chen Mo had been expelled. Chen Mo must hate Lin Xuan to the extreme.
Perfect. He could use Chen Mo to deal with Lin Xuan.
Lin Li took out his phone and called a private investigator. I'll give you five thousand. I need you to find someone's address for me.
Who? the private investigator asked.
Lin Li answered, Shangqing University, the student who was just expelled, Chen Mo.
No problem, consider it done.
The private investigator was very fast. Half an hour later, he sent Chen Mo's location.
Lin Li tidied himself up and went downstairs.
Li, where are you going? Jiang Shuqin asked.
Mom, I'm going to meet a friend, Lin Li answered, his eyes flickering slightly.
Be safe then. And come back early, Mom will cook you something delicious personally, Jiang Shuqin said.
Mm, okay.
Lin Li drove his car to a cramped rental apartment.
Knock, knock, knock. Lin Li knocked on the door.
Who is it?
Reeking of alcohol, Chen Mo went to open the door.
He looked at Lin Li and frowned.
Wasn't this Lin Li?
The adopted son of the Lin family.
The Lin family had kicked Lin Xuan out just for this Lin Li.
Lin Li's affairs had caused a huge uproar back then—cheating, becoming a eunuch, messing around with men, marriage fraud—these things had spread all over the internet, so naturally, he had heard of them too.
Chen Mo frowned and asked, What are you looking for me for?
He remembered that he and Lin Li had never had any interaction.
Lin Li said, Student Chen Mo, I have something I need to discuss with you. And the matter I want to discuss, I dare say, you will be very interested in.
Sorry, not interested. Chen Mo prepared to close the door.
Are you sure? Not even interested in matters regarding Lin Xuan? Lin Li asked, raising an eyebrow.
Chen Mo's hand paused on the door.
This Lin Li had a major conflict with Lin Xuan. Maybe he really did know something about him.
Come in, Chen Mo said.
After Lin Li walked into the rental unit, Chen Mo closed the door.
What is it? Speak, Chen Mo asked.
Lin Li replied, Chen Mo, because of Lin Xuan, your reputation is in tatters and you've been expelled. Even the company that originally interviewed and accepted you doesn't want you anymore. You must hate Lin Xuan, right?
Chen Mo clenched his fists, his tone very unfriendly. Did you come here just to mock me?
No, no, no. I have no grievances with you; I have no need to mock you.
Student Chen Mo. A look of hatred appeared in Lin Li's eyes as well. I also hate Lin Xuan. He ruined my life.
Because of Lin Xuan, his reputation was ruined.
He, a grown man, had been turned into a living eunuch.
And that wasn't all!
Lin Xuan had actually set him up to be with men...
He often had nightmares about the scene from that night.
Furthermore, his Weibo private messages were constantly filled with gay men asking him to hook up.
To him, this was the humiliation of a lifetime.
I've heard about your situation, Chen Mo replied in a low voice.

ive and Ruthless] Before his transmigration, Ye Xuan was playing a game called "Severing Emotions to Attain the Dao." The game's core wasn't about leveling up by fighting monsters, but about conquering various "bad women" with wicked personalities and cold, fickle natures. There was only one method to conquer them: stay unwaveringly by their side, then die at a critical moment, driving them to madness after losing the protagonist. The higher their level of regret, the higher the player's score. To dominate the server, Ye Xuan conquered all the bad women. In the early stages, he showered them with boundless tenderness, only to choose to sacrifice himself for them later, making them weep bitterly and drown in regret. Among them were: Xia Lengyue, the unfaithful immortal wife who chased after powerful men and discarded her husband like trash. Ye Qingcheng, the Demonic Venerable of the Joyous Union Sect, who appeared pure and innocent but was, in reality, promiscuous. Wu Lingxiao, the Empress of the Great Xia Dynasty, who lusted after men and loved maintaining a harem. Bai Qiangu of the Endless Demonic Sect: a bloodthirsty mass murderer. However, when the protagonist transmigrated into the game world, he made a horrifying discovery. Eight hundred years had already passed. The bad women he had conquered had now each become deities and revered ancestors. Faced with the endless stream of toxic women coming for him, Ye Xuan could only rely on his god-tier acting skills to carve a path of survival through this world of treacherous women.
