Relentless Pestering

"I didn't expect it to be this hard to acknowledge my younger brother," Jiang Yutong said with a miserable expression.

"Second Miss, I think you could ask the netizens," the butler suggested. "Those netizens are incredibly resourceful; they should know what to do."

"Then I'll give it a try."

Jiang Yutong felt very unsure about this.

Are netizens really reliable?

She tried posting a thread on a forum.

[Tong Tong Tong Tong: I have a younger cousin. In the past, he was abused and insulted by his biological parents and sisters in his own home. Now, he no longer believes in family affection. Our family cut ties with his mother a long time ago. We want to bring him back into our family, but we haven't made any progress. What do you guys think we should do? If anyone's suggestion is useful, I'll give them fifty thousand yuan. For a method that actually allows me to successfully acknowledge my brother, I'll give five hundred thousand yuan.]

When people saw Jiang Yutong's post, they all thought she was a scammer trying to bait replies.

Fifty thousand yuan for a useful suggestion? How could that be possible?

However, quite a few people still left comments under her thread.

[18-Year-Old Strong Man: Give him things he likes.]

[Zero-Frame Startup Player: I know how to pursue a man I like, but pursuing a younger cousin touches upon my blind spot of knowledge. Next.]

[Little Panda: Simple! Do you have money? If you have money, just buy, buy, buy for him. The more expensive, the better!]

Seeing that her thread didn't have many comments, Jiang Yutong picked a few that seemed reasonable from the comment section and transferred fifty thousand yuan to their Alipay accounts.

Little Panda stared at the fifty thousand yuan transferred over, his eyes suddenly widening.

Fifty thousand yuan... It actually arrived in the account?

Just a simple comment, and he earned fifty thousand yuan!

How was this any different from a pie falling from the sky?

Excitedly, he made a post.

[Little Panda: Fifty thousand yuan! There really is fifty thousand yuan! Tong Tong Tong Tong transferred fifty thousand yuan to me!]

Besides him, a few other forum users also posted to prove that Jiang Yutong had indeed transferred money to them.

For a time, the forum netizens were boiling with excitement, swarming over to offer advice to Jiang Yutong.

Even users from other platforms specifically downloaded the forum app just to leave comments for Jiang Yutong.

In no time, tens of thousands of comments appeared in Jiang Yutong's thread.

Jiang Yutong read through them one by one.

Whenever she saw a non-repetitive comment that seemed to make sense, she would leave a reply asking for the person's receiving account number.

An hour later, Jiang Yutong's gaze landed on a certain comment.

[Fufu Stabbed Me: I'll give you a suggestion! That is to constantly hover in front of his eyes, pester him relentlessly, the kind where you can't be driven away! Left with no other choice, he'll have to agree to acknowledge you.]

Jiang Yutong's eyes lit up.

Perhaps this method might actually work!

Jiang Yutong readily tipped the other party one hundred thousand yuan, then put her phone away.

Seeing the smile on Jiang Yutong's face, the butler asked curiously, "Second Miss, you're smiling so happily. Have you found a way to acknowledge Young Master Lin?"

"That's right," Jiang Yutong curled her lips. "I want to give it a try."

After interacting with Xuan so many times, she had gained a slight understanding of his temperament.

He was simply someone who appeared cold on the outside but was warm on the inside.

Xuan probably had a pretty good impression of her. Now that the company was on the right track, she could just leave the company affairs to her subordinates. She would have the opportunity to properly pester Xuan and hover around him using various excuses.

Until Xuan agreed to be her younger brother.

Jiang Yutong spoke up, "Butler, please help me look into where Xuan frequently appears these days, as well as where he is living."

"Second Miss, the Old Master previously asked me to investigate where Young Master Lin lives, but I couldn't find anything. I also couldn't trace his whereabouts. However, Young Master Lin recently has two important research projects at Shangqing University, so I'm guessing he will visit Shangqing University frequently," the butler speculated.

"Shangqing University?" Jiang Yutong stroked her chin in deep thought.

It seemed she would have to find a way to sneak into Shangqing University.

During this period, Lin Xuan frequently spent his time at Shangqing University doing research.

Old Master Su made a phone call to Su Hua.

"What is it?" Su Hua placed the phone by her ear.

"Hua'er," Old Master Su asked, "What are you busy with right now?"

Su Hua answered expressionlessly, "I'm dealing with work."

Old Master Su began to act pitiful and play the victim, "Hua'er, when are you coming to visit Grandpa?"

Lately, he had been constantly thinking about what those three old men had said that day, to the point where he couldn't even sleep well.

So he thought about calling Su Hua over; he needed to give Hua'er a proper brainwashing.

"I still have work to do." Su Hua slightly furrowed her brows.

Once she finished her work, it would be time to return to Night Garden to see Xuan. She had no time to visit the old family estate.

"Hua'er," Old Master Su said pitifully, "I'm so bored all alone at home. You haven't visited the old estate for so long. Can't you spend some time with this old man?"

Whenever he brought this up, Old Master Su felt a pang in his heart.

In the past, before Hua'er got together with Xuan, she would frequently visit the old estate and chat with him.

Later, the two of them got together.

The number of times Hua'er visited the old estate in a year could probably be counted on ten fingers.

And almost every time, it was Xuan who brought her over.

It was truly disheartening.

They all say a granddaughter is like a warm, snug little padded jacket, so why did his turn out to be one that leaked air?

Su Hua said, "Grandpa, I'll give you some money. If you feel bored, just hire some people to keep you company and entertain you."

After saying that, Su Hua hung up the phone.

"Hua'er, Hua'er?"

A series of beeping sounds came from the phone.

Old Master Su put down his phone.

He looked at the phone, muttering to himself, "She really forgets her grandpa once she has a boyfriend."

"My life is so bitter."

"So bitter."

"Xuan is just here to snatch my granddaughter away from me."

The old butler smiled and said, "Master, yes, Young Master Lin did snatch the Miss away. But if the Miss and the young master-in-law were to break up, you wouldn't be happy about it either."

Old Master Su retorted, "With such a great grandson-in-law like Xuan, how could I be happy if they broke up?"

Those few old men had all set their sights on Xuan.

If Xuan and Hua'er really weren't together anymore, those old men would definitely be the first to know the news. Then, they would undoubtedly try every possible means to abduct Xuan and make him their own grandson-in-law.

He absolutely couldn't let them succeed.

Xuan had to be the grandson-in-law of him, Su Guoxiong!

Even if he snatched his granddaughter away, he still had to be his grandson-in-law!

"Master," the old butler spoke again, "to tell you the truth, even if the Miss wasn't with the young master-in-law, she wouldn't necessarily be close to you."

Old Master Su glared at him. "If you don't speak, no one will think you're mute."

The old butler shut his mouth.
