Jiang Shuqin clenched her fists. "Compared to me, you are the real outsiders. Since when is it your turn to interfere in the matters between Lin Xuan and me?"
"No, they are not outsiders," Lin Xuan spoke up. "They are my family."
The Jiang family was collectively stunned.
Little Xuan actually admitted that they were his family.
Did this mean that Little Xuan had accepted them?
Jiang Shuqin's face turned ashen as she said, "Lin Xuan, I have already severed ties with the Jiang family. What right do you have to bypass me and acknowledge them?"
In truth, Jiang Shuqin deeply regretted cutting ties with the Jiang family.
Lin Chang was simply a scumbag.
She had actually given up the wealth and glory of the Jiang family for such a scumbag.
If she were still a member of the Jiang family now, she wouldn't have to worry about money at all.
Furthermore, those in the wealthy circles would have to treat her with utmost respect.
She absolutely wouldn't be facing the cold shoulders she received now.
But she was unwilling to bow her head to the Jiang family.
Now, she could only pin her hopes on Lin Li developing the pharmaceutical company to prove to the Jiang family that her initial choice was not wrong.
It was precisely because of that sliver of regret in her heart that her reaction was so intense when she saw Lin Xuan together with the Jiang family.
"Jiang Shuqin, don't flatter yourself too much," Grandpa Jiang sneered. "I want to acknowledge Little Xuan not at all because he is your son."
"It's because Little Xuan is worthy of it. He saved this old man's life, and he has good character and good manners, completely unlike you."
"Jiang Shuqin, if I only acknowledged Little Xuan because he is your son, tell me, why haven't I acknowledged your daughters?"
Those daughters of Jiang Shuqin had inherited quite a bit of her temperament.
Fortunately, Little Xuan was not raised by Jiang Shuqin's side when he was young.
Otherwise, Little Xuan would definitely have been led astray by her upbringing.
"Also, I am acknowledging Little Xuan as my own grandson, not my maternal grandson. It has absolutely nothing to do with you, Jiang Shuqin."
Grandpa Jiang figured that given how the Lin family treated Little Xuan, Little Xuan probably didn't want to have anything to do with Jiang Shuqin either.
Jiang Shuqin's face was livid.
Grandpa Jiang pointed a finger at the door. "Jiang Shuqin, you are not welcome here. Get the hell out of here right now!"
Jiang Shuqin gritted her teeth and said, "Fine, I'll leave."
She looked at Grandpa Jiang.
"You are truly heartless. If I had the choice, I would never have been reincarnated as a daughter of your Jiang family."
Jiang Shuqin turned around and left.
Jiang Manting and Jiang Yutong looked at Grandpa Jiang with concern.
Grandpa Jiang smiled and said, "What are you two looking at me for?"
Jiang Manting asked worriedly, "Grandpa, are you alright?"
Grandpa Jiang shook his head. "What could be wrong with me? I've long since let go of that ungrateful wretch. At the recognition banquet held for Lin Li back then, I already decided that no matter what happened to this daughter, I would never care about her again."
"From now on, we are just strangers who happen to share blood."
Seeing that Grandpa Jiang truly no longer cared about Jiang Shuqin, Jiang Manting's anxious heart finally settled.
"Let's not talk about irrelevant people."
Grandpa Jiang looked at Lin Xuan with bright eyes. "Little Xuan, you just said that we are all your family. Is that true? Are you really willing to acknowledge us?"
Jiang Manting and Jiang Yutong both looked at Lin Xuan nervously.
They were worried that what Lin Xuan said was just a tactic to deal with Jiang Shuqin.
Lin Xuan didn't dare to look at them, feeling somewhat nervous in his heart.
"Yes."
He nodded. "It's true."
!!!
Unstoppable smiles spread across the faces of Jiang Manting and Grandpa Jiang.
Jiang Yutong happily jumped off the bed.
"That's wonderful, this is wonderful!"
"I, Jiang Yutong, have a younger brother!"
"And such a handsome and capable brother at that!"
She absolutely had to take Little Xuan out to show him off to her group of plastic besties.
They would definitely drool with envy!
Wang Dahe stood to the side, also genuinely happy for Lin Xuan.
His eyes were slightly moist.
He could tell that the Jiang family truly wanted the best for Xuan.
He and Xuan had grown up together in the orphanage; they were so close they could share a pair of pants.
No one understood Xuan's longing for family affection better than him.
Every time someone came to adopt an orphan, Xuan would eagerly watch those who were taken away, his eyes filled with envy.
Later, he was finally found by his relatives and brought back.
He thought he would be able to receive his family's love.
As a result, the Lin family only ever paid attention to Lin Li, completely ignoring him, and even resorting to beating or scolding him.
Xuan thought it was because he wasn't doing well enough, so he had always been carefully trying to please the Lin family.
His pleasing, obedience, and well-behaved sensibility completely failed to warm the hearts of the Lin family.
With just a slight instigation from Lin Li, he would be ostracized.
Now, Xuan finally had family members who would truly treat him well.
Family, wealth, true love—Xuan had it all now.
Wang Dahe wiped the excited tears from the corners of his eyes.
"Little Xuan."
Jiang Yutong couldn't help but throw her arms around Lin Xuan's neck. "Do you know? I'm truly so happy."
"I thought I would never be able to kidnap you to be my little brother."
Lin Xuan was a bit unaccustomed to being so intimate with other women, even if it was his biological cousin who shared his blood.
He pushed Jiang Yutong away.
"Second Cousin," Lin Xuan coughed and said, "You are injured, you should rest well."
"My injury is fine."
Jiang Yutong waved her hand and said, "Look, aren't I alive and kicking right now?"
She was indeed completely fine.
She just felt a little pain in her knees.
If it weren't for putting on an act in front of Little Xuan, she would have climbed up from the ground long ago.
"Little Xuan."
Jiang Yutong said with a beaming smile, "Didn't you hear what Grandpa Jiang said? He is acknowledging you not as a maternal grandson, but as a grandson."
"So, I am not your cousin, but your older sister. Little Xuan, hurry, call me Second Sister so I can hear it." Jiang Yutong looked at Lin Xuan expectantly.
"Second Sister," Lin Xuan could only say.
Jiang Yutong's heart pounded wildly with excitement.
She never expected that having a younger brother would feel like this.
This feeling was simply too wonderful!
"Little Xuan, call me Second Sister one more time for me to hear," Jiang Yutong said excitedly.
Helpless, Lin Xuan could only call out "Second Sister" once more.
"Good, good, good, good." Jiang Yutong smiled so widely that her eyes almost narrowed into slits.
"Little Xuan is so good."
"Little Xuan, this is my family recognition gift for you."
This was something she had always carried on her, and she had been waiting for exactly this moment.
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.
