"Tingting," Grandpa Jiang asked curiously, "Did you meet Xiaoxuan's girlfriend? Do you know who she is?"
Jiang Manting looked at her grandfather, hesitating to speak.
She was hesitating whether to tell her grandfather that Xiaoxuan's girlfriend was Old Mr. Su's granddaughter, Su Hua.
But...
Her grandfather and Old Master Su were like fire and water. If he knew that Xiaoxuan's girlfriend was Old Master Su's granddaughter, he would probably be furious.
Especially since her grandfather hadn't fully recovered from his illness, she worried that getting too emotional might cause an accident.
Forget it.
She better not tell him for now.
When they finally reunited with Xiaoxuan and he brought her before her grandfather, he would naturally find out who his girlfriend was.
"Grandpa."
Jiang Manting shook her head and said, "I'm not entirely sure about that either, but you can rest assured that she is the right woman for Xiaoxuan."
"Alright."
Grandpa Jiang's anxious heart relaxed a little.
Tingting was very steady. Since she said there was no problem, there shouldn't be any.
He sighed.
"If I had known, I would have brought Xiaoxuan back to the Jiang family much earlier."
That way, Xiaoxuan wouldn't have suffered so much.
And his relationship with the Jiang family would be very good.
He never expected that Jiang Shuqin would not only be cruel to her own parents, but also to her own flesh and blood!
How did he raise such a daughter?
She completely lacked a sense of right and wrong, neglecting her biological son to dote on an adopted one!
Jiang Manting comforted him, "Grandpa, this has nothing to do with you. You didn't want this to happen either. Don't blame yourself too much."
"Okay." Grandpa Jiang nodded.
Jiang Manting looked at her grandfather with concern.
Xiaoxuan's childhood had been too bitter. Ever since her grandfather saw what Xiaoxuan went through in the orphanage and the Lin family, it had become a knot in his heart.
She worried that if this continued, her grandfather's health would deteriorate.
She had to find a way to make Xiaoxuan acknowledge them. That way, her grandfather could treat Xiaoxuan well, which might just untie the knot in his heart.
Inside Jiangtong Cosmetics Company.
Jiang Yutong looked at the twenty-four returned gifts and sighed heavily.
"Xiaoxuan really still won't accept these gifts, he won't even look at them."
She had prepared all of these meticulously for Xiaoxuan.
But it was fine.
Jiang Yutong cheered herself up again.
She would give these gifts to him after Xiaoxuan returned to the Jiang family.
She would be able to give them to him sooner or later.
"Boss." Wang Ba called Lin Xuan.
"What is it?" Lin Xuan asked.
Wang Ba started complaining, "Boss, let me tell you, the people Su Sheng keeps around are truly useless. Every time his men try to make a move on you, they get easily taken out by your girlfriend's people."
"They don't even have a chance to get close to you. They haven't even managed to get a clear photo of your face or your identity. If he's waiting to catch you, it's probably impossible in this lifetime."
Actually, it wasn't exactly that Su Sheng was too useless.
It was mainly because President Su was too worried about the boss's safety. She had sent quite a few people to secretly follow and protect him.
Ever since Su Sheng's men started targeting the boss, President Su had sent even more people to protect him, leaving Su Sheng's men completely helpless against the boss.
Lin Xuan nodded in agreement, "They really are quite useless."
That was fine too. The more useless they were, the easier they were to deal with.
He wanted to pull Su Sheng out by the roots; only then could he better protect Hua's safety.
Constantly being on the defensive like this wasn't a solution.
"Boss, didn't you want to deal with Su Sheng?" Wang Ba frowned. "If he keeps failing to catch you like this, and we don't know his location, we have no way of dealing with him."
A glint of coldness flashed in Lin Xuan's eyes. "If he can't catch me, then I'll deliver myself to his doorstep."
"But, Boss, this might threaten your safety," Wang Ba said worriedly.
"It's fine." Lin Xuan shook his head. "He can't hurt me."
"Wang Ba, how do you think his strength compares to Shang?"
Wang Ba shook his head. "His strength probably isn't as good as Shang's, but they have a backer."
"A backer?"
Lin Xuan sneered.
"Their backer is also built on interests. As long as we offer his partners greater benefits, their relationship will naturally collapse."
Wang Ba asked curiously, "Boss, do you have a plan?"
"I heard that their queen has been unable to get pregnant," Lin Xuan said.
"That is true," Wang Ba nodded. "I've heard she's been praying for a child all along, praying to gods and Buddhas everywhere, and trying folk remedies."
Thinking of something, Wang Ba's eyes lit up slightly. "Boss, can you solve her infertility problem?"
Right.
Their boss was the famously renowned Doctor Xiaoyao. He could even bring the dead back to life; a mere inability to have children was surely something the boss could fix.
"Yes."
Lin Xuan nodded.
"I have a bottle of pills. As long as she sleeps with her husband on the same day, she will immediately get pregnant. I will send someone to deliver the pills to her."
Wang Ba couldn't help but say, "Boss, with their support, we can ask them to help trick Su Sheng into revealing his location."
Lin Xuan smiled faintly. "No need. I still prefer to go meet Su Sheng in person."
Hua ended up in the Shang organization because of Su Sheng's father.
If it weren't for him, Hua wouldn't have gone through all that.
He wanted to kill Su Sheng with his own hands, step by step.
"Oh, okay."
Wang Ba scratched his head in confusion, wondering what kind of quirk his boss had.
Refusing to take a shortcut, and deliberately choosing the difficult path.
And to think, the boss was usually such a lazy person.
He had thought the boss spent most of his time on the company, so he had specifically gone to chat with the company's general manager, Lei Hui.
As a result, when talking about the boss, Lei Hui had poured out his grievances to him.
Only then did he realize that the boss actually rarely ever went to the company.
The boss was purely just lazy!
"Crash—"
Su Sheng violently swept all the teacups on the desk onto the floor.
"You can't even handle this trivial matter properly. What use do I have for you?"
"It's been so long, and you still haven't caught Lin Xuan! You're simply a bunch of useless trash!"
Su Sheng's face was filled with fury.
Day after day, he had been hoping to catch Lin Xuan, so that Su Hua would kneel before him and beg him to let Lin Xuan go.
In the end!
They had been searching for his information for so long.
They had finally managed to find out the specific identity of Su Hua's boyfriend, but then! Catching him was taking forever too!
All of them were useless trash!
The subordinates all lowered their heads, not daring to speak.
What could they do?
There was always a group of people protecting Lin Xuan. Their skills were all very strong, making it impossible to get close to him.
Furthermore, the places Lin Xuan visited were always crowded.
They simply didn't dare to make a move out in the open.

He gradually realized he was being lured step by step into an elaborate trap designed by these two yandere sisters. "Be good, little Xuan. Sister's life belongs to you entirely." "Brother, if you try to run away, I'll have no choice but to tie you up." Mo Xuan: "Do whatever you want, ladies. I give up."
