[There's nothing impossible about it. It might be because Jiang Yutong likes Lin Xuan too much, so she would do something irrational.]
[A wealthy heiress willingly becoming the other woman for love. Ahhhh, this is just too thrilling.]
The students were discussing enthusiastically on the forum.
Su Hua stared at the content on her phone.
"Heh—"
Su Hua chuckled softly.
Squeeze her out to take her place?
Is that even possible?
Ah Xuan would forever be her man alone. No one could ever snatch him away.
Su Hua picked up her phone and called Jiang Qing again.
"President Su," Jiang Qing's respectful voice came through the phone.
Su Hua said expressionlessly, "Scare her a little harder, just don't drive her completely insane."
Hearing the chilling tone in Su Hua's voice, Jiang Qing shuddered.
She could tell that President Su had said those words through gritted teeth.
If Jiang Yutong wasn't Young Master Lin's biological cousin, and if Young Master Lin didn't have some familial affection for her, President Su would probably have already captured Jiang Yutong and personally hacked her into pieces, or thrown her into a snake pit.
"Understood, President Su. I will make the arrangements." Jiang Qing nodded.
Jiang Qing hung up the phone.
In the CEO's office.
"Knock, knock, knock."
A senior executive knocked and walked in.
The executive had heard that Su Hua was in a good mood when she arrived for work this morning. Coming to see President Su today, his work report should be quite a breeze.
Upon just entering the office, the executive could feel a chill in the air. He rubbed his arms and muttered, "The AC is set way too low."
It was so cold.
President Su was wearing so little; didn't she feel cold?
The executive walked up to the desk.
"President Su, I came to see you today to discuss the North City project our department is handling."
As soon as he finished speaking, he noticed the look on Su Hua's face.
Wait.
The expression on President Su's face wasn't right.
The executive discreetly observed Su Hua, his heart sinking further and further.
He was doomed.
President Su was in a bad mood today, and yet he came running to report to her. Wasn't he just walking right into the line of fire?
"President Su, about this project..." The executive braced himself, but before he could finish, Su Hua raised her hand to cut him off.
"I have matters to attend to. Whatever it is, we'll talk about it next time."
She stood up and left.
The executive breathed a sigh of relief.
Thank goodness President Su had something to do and left, otherwise he definitely would have been chewed out today.
As the executive was leaving, Jiang Qing happened to walk by.
"Secretary Jiang, I have something to ask you." The executive couldn't help but pull Jiang Qing aside.
Jiang Qing asked in confusion, "May I know what Director Chen needs me for?"
The executive asked, "It's like this, Director Jiang. I noticed President Su's expression wasn't too good today. Do you know what happened?"
"A woman is trying to snatch Young Master Lin away from President Su," Jiang Qing sighed faintly.
Jiang Yutong and Young Master Lin, Su Hua and Young Master Lin—one was a familial relationship, the other a romantic one.
But in President Su's eyes, it was all the same: another woman running over to steal Young Master Lin.
Perhaps it was because President Su herself didn't care much for ethics and morals; she even felt that Jiang Yutong, as his cousin, could fall in love with Young Master Lin.
Therefore, President Su harbored a special hostility toward the Second Miss of the Jiang family.
Especially since the Second Miss Jiang had also made some easily misunderstood moves, like giving Young Master Lin roses and gifts.
"There's actually a woman who dares to snatch Young Master Lin from President Su?" The executive's eyes widened. "She's got some serious guts."
Young Master Lin was President Su's life.
Trying to steal Young Master Lin from President Su's side, wasn't that just courting death?
"Actually, you can't really call it snatching," Jiang Qing added.
A look of confusion appeared on the executive's face. "Secretary Jiang, what do you mean by that?"
Jiang Qing shook her head and replied, "Actually, there's nothing much to that person trying to snatch Young Master Lin. It's mainly because President Su is way too possessive."
Even though President Su usually exercised a lot of restraint, she would still frequently display an extremely intense possessiveness in front of Young Master Lin.
Only Young Master Lin could tolerate President Su. Any other man would probably have thrown a fit and broken up with her long ago.
No wonder people said Young Master Lin and President Su were a match made in heaven.
"Huh?"
The executive became even more baffled by Jiang Qing's words.
What did she mean by 'there's nothing much to trying to snatch Young Master Lin'?
How could there not be a problem?
"Secretary Jiang, why am I getting more and more confused listening to you?" The executive scratched his head.
Jiang Qing said, "Director Chen, I have things to do, so I'll get back to work."
The executive: "..."
Leaving him hanging like this without explaining things clearly.
Damn it!
Didn't she know that curiosity killed the cat?
It was obvious that Jiang Qing didn't want to say anything more.
Jiang Qing was Su Hua's right-hand woman. Director Chen didn't dare to offend her, so he could only leave the CEO's office area, harboring a belly full of doubts.
After leaving the company, Su Hua returned to the Night Manor.
"Miss."
The servants greeted Su Hua respectfully.
Seeing the look on Su Hua's face, the servants frowned in confusion.
When the Miss left this morning, she clearly had a smile on her face from time to time. How come she came back with such a foul expression?
What had happened?
The servants treaded lightly while doing their chores, terrified of drawing Su Hua's attention.
In the microchip project team, Jiang Yutong was waiting for Lin Xuan, and at his company, Jiang Yutong would frequently send him gifts.
For the time being, he couldn't go to either of these two places. After leaving his company, Lin Xuan had no choice but to return to the Night Manor.
Lin Xuan walked into the living room humming a song.
At this very moment, Su Hua was sitting on the sofa, watching Lin Xuan's figure as he walked in.
Su Hua's gaze was far too intense.
Lin Xuan had barely taken ten steps into the villa when he felt a particularly invasive gaze staring at him.
Lin Xuan frowned and followed the gaze. He then saw Su Hua wearing a moon-white qipao, her hair simply pinned up with a mahogany hairpin. Her legs were crossed, her back straight, and her expressionless face made her feel like a true queen.
Lin Xuan glanced at the clock on the wall and furrowed his brows. Wasn't it only a little past three in the afternoon?
At this time, Hua should be at the company.
Lin Xuan asked in confusion, "Hua, why are you back?"
"Ah Xuan, come here." Su Hua's voice was gentle yet carried an undeniable tone of command.
Lin Xuan's heart pounded wildly, feeling completely unsettled.
Something was wrong. Hua's mood was far too off. She was gentle, but this gentleness felt like it was hiding a blade.
As the saying goes, a gentle blade is the deadliest of all.
Lin Xuan nervously walked over to Su Hua.
"Hua, what's wrong?" Lin Xuan asked apprehensively.
"Sit beside me." Su Hua didn't answer Lin Xuan's question, but instead issued a command.
"Okay."
Lin Xuan obediently sat down beside Su Hua.
As soon as he sat down, a certain enchanting little woman clung to him. She sat on his lap and wrapped her arms around his neck.

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.
to panic—he has a system. As long as an investment target dies, he can claim a reward. And since he is immortal, the one thing he has plenty of is time. ... Countless years later. “Immortal Emperor of Longevity? I invested in him.” “Supreme Celestial Venerable? I invested in him.” “Undying Empress? I invested in her.” “...” “Heh. Once they’ve all died, even the Heavenly Dao will have to kneel and call me Dad.”
Cheng's father told him he was getting remarried—to a wealthy woman. Cao Cheng realized his time had finally come: he was about to become a second-generation rich kid. Sure, it might be a watered-down version, but hey, at least he'd have status now, right? The wealthy woman also had four daughters!! Which meant, starting today, Cao Cheng gained four stunning older sisters?? But that wasn't even the whole story... "My name is Cao Cheng—'Cheng' as in 'honest, smooth-talking gentleman'!"
