Jiang Yutong sat at her desk, slumping over it.
"It's too hard, it's really too hard," Jiang Yutong let out a long sigh.
Her secretary knew exactly what Jiang Yutong was talking about.
She couldn't help but advise, "President Jiang, I think Young Master Lin is dead set against acknowledging you all. I feel like you might as well just let it go."
Continuing like this won't yield any results.
If it were her, and Young Master Lin refused to acknowledge her for this long, she would have washed her hands of it ages ago and let him do whatever he wanted.
"No. I can't just let it go." Jiang Yutong shook her head. "I finally have a blood-related younger brother. How could I possibly give up?"
Let alone less than a year, even if Little Xuan didn't acknowledge them for ten years, she wouldn't give up!
"Especially now that we've seen a little bit of progress, it's even more impossible for me to give up."
Jiang Yutong said, "Just wait and see. It shouldn't even take a year before I can get Little Xuan to come home and acknowledge us."
Jiang Yutong was brimming with confidence.
A year?
The secretary shook her head.
President Jiang really had an incredible amount of perseverance.
It was rare to see a wealthy heiress, who was also a highly successful female boss, go to such lengths just to reunite with her brother.
After Jiang Qing called to contact Lin Xuan, she temporarily took another work-related phone call.
She completely failed to notice that Chairman Chen's nephew, Chen Wei, had walked into the private room behind her back.
Inside the private room.
Su Hua's cheeks were slightly flushed, and her beautiful eyes were tinted with a misty, watery glaze.
Obviously, she was drunk. She just sat there in her chair, looking very obedient.
Chairman Chen looked at Su Hua's appearance and couldn't help muttering in his heart.
Everyone said that Boss Su was terrifying, but wasn't Boss Su actually quite cute like this?
How could she be terrifying?
Rumors were just rumors after all, completely untrustworthy.
Chen Wei stood not far from Su Hua. Looking at Su Hua's figure, his heart pounded wildly with excitement.
He had fallen in love with Boss Su at first sight.
At the time, he thought he would never have the chance to get close to Boss Su in his entire life.
He never expected that such an opportunity would present itself so quickly.
He definitely had to firmly grasp this opportunity.
Chairman Chen smiled and introduced, "Boss Su, this is my nephew, Chen Wei. He just graduated with his master's degree from Stanford University a year ago, and he is only one year younger than you, Boss Su."
"Mhm." Su Hua held her wine glass and nodded. "Not bad."
She sat at the dining table with her back perfectly straight, looking extremely well-behaved.
Chairman Chen and his nephew did not sense the slightest hint of impending danger.
"Boss Su," Chairman Chen continued with a beaming smile, "my nephew has always admired you. He's grown up now, but he has never been in a relationship, nor has he done anything intimate with any other woman."
"Boss Su, if you like, the two of you could interact a bit more."
The drunk Su Hua didn't hear his words clearly at all. She continued to sit in her chair looking like a model student.
Chairman Chen frowned.
Why wasn't Boss Su saying anything?
Was it a rejection or...
Thinking of this, Chairman Chen shook his head. It shouldn't be a rejection. If Boss Su didn't want to associate with his nephew, she would have spoken up and rejected him right away instead of remaining completely silent.
Boss Su must just be acting modest, waiting for his nephew to take the initiative.
Or perhaps she was silently consenting.
Chairman Chen spoke up, "Xiao Wei, Boss Su is drunk. Why don't you go over and take Boss Su to a hotel."
Chairman Chen's words were full of suggestion.
His nephew immediately understood. "Uncle, I'll take her over right now."
"Boss Su?" Chen Wei walked up and called out to Su Hua several times.
Su Hua didn't respond at all.
Chen Wei frowned and glanced at his uncle. Chairman Chen kept his voice low so only the two of them could hear, whispering, "Xiao Wei, Boss Su is waiting for you to take the initiative. If you're a bit more proactive, you'll definitely win her favor."
"Okay."
Hearing these words, Chen Wei felt reassured.
His eyes stared fixedly at Su Hua's breathtakingly beautiful side profile, feeling a surge of excitement.
Soon, very soon, he would become the man of the wealthiest woman in Great Xia, a woman who possessed a massive business empire.
Especially since she was so gorgeous and had such a great figure.
If everyone knew he was Su Hua's man, they would definitely be dying of envy and would constantly come to curry favor with him.
Moreover.
His family's company would also skyrocket with Boss Su as a massive backer.
"Boss Su, let's go. We're heading to the hotel."
Chen Wei reached his hand out toward Su Hua.
The moment his hand touched Su Hua's sleeve, a cold glint flashed through the eyes of the previously docile-looking Su Hua.
She grabbed Chen Wei's hand and gave it a vicious twist.
"Crack!" The sound of breaking bones rang out.
With a loud "Bang," Su Hua then delivered a brutal kick to Chen Wei's abdomen.
"Ah—"
Like a kite with a broken string, Chen Wei flew straight toward the door.
"Bang—" His back smashed heavily against the door.
Jiang Qing, who was on the phone, heard the commotion and frowned.
It sounded like something had happened inside the private room.
She spoke quickly into the phone, "That's all for now. Go make the arrangements first. If anything else comes up, call me back."
After hanging up, Jiang Qing put away her phone and returned to the private room.
The moment she opened the door, she saw a man being pummeled by Su Hua like a roly-poly toy. She rained punches down on his body one after another, yet she wouldn't let him fall over.
He was beaten black and blue, his face so swollen his original features were no longer discernible.
As for Chairman Chen, he was just hiding off to the side, shivering in terror, not daring to utter a single syllable.
By the looks of it, Boss Su was completely drunk.
When Chairman Chen saw Jiang Qing, it was as if he had seen a savior. He rushed over to her.
"Secretary Jiang, please save him! Go and stop Boss Su. If this continues, he's going to lose his life," Chairman Chen begged.
Su Hua noticed someone had entered the room and shot a cold glare over.
Jiang Qing's heart instantly leaped into her throat.
Oh no!
Boss Su noticed her!
She definitely didn't want to get beaten up.
Jiang Qing hastily opened the door and ran out. Chairman Chen, completely baffled by her actions, followed suit and ran out as well.
Fortunately, Su Hua showed no intention of chasing after them.
Outside the private room's door.
Jiang Qing patted her chest, still somewhat shaken.
Chairman Chen asked in confusion, "Secretary Jiang, why did you run out in such a panic?"
Jiang Qing looked at Chairman Chen faintly.
Now that Boss Su had spotted her, she would be the next one to get pummeled. How could she not run?
Thinking of something, Jiang Qing furrowed her brows tightly and asked, "Did Boss Su drink alcohol?"
"Yes, yes she did. She had about a glass and a half of wine," Chairman Chen replied.
"Then what on earth is going on with this man?" Jiang Qing's gaze fell upon Chen Wei.
Chairman Chen answered, "He's my nephew. He has always admired Boss Su. Since we were discussing a partnership with Boss Su this time, I thought I'd bring him along to meet her."
Jiang Qing frowned and asked, "Did you let your nephew touch Boss Su?"

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.
