After today.
Lin Xuan would definitely make his relationship with Jiang Yutong clear.
Jiang Yutong liked Lin Xuan so much that she would definitely be overjoyed, and he himself would no longer have any value to be exploited.
Jiang Yutong would dump him.
No, that wouldn't do.
He couldn't let this happen. He had pursued Jiang Yutong for so many years, and it had been so hard to finally be with her.
After all these years of effort, he absolutely couldn't fall short at the last moment!
Moreover, if he missed out on Jiang Yutong, he would never again find a woman whose family was so rich and who was so easy to deceive.
He had to make the Jiang family's attitude toward Lin Xuan drop to the freezing point today.
But what method should he use?
Liang Yilong's mind spun wildly.
Lin Xuan noticed Liang Yilong's gaze and looked at him in confusion.
He had only seen this Liang Yilong twice in total, including today.
Why did he feel that the man's hostility toward him was exceptionally strong?
Liang Yilong glanced around.
No surveillance cameras.
Perfect.
He could properly frame Lin Xuan.
So that Lin Xuan would know that fighting with him over a woman was simply overestimating his own capabilities.
Liang Yilong walked up to Lin Xuan.
He reached out his hand to him.
"Hello, Mr. Lin. My name is Liang Yilong, Tongtong's boyfriend."
Lin Xuan shook his head.
It seemed that his second sister didn't have very good taste.
To actually find such a man to be her boyfriend.
Lin Xuan could sense that Liang Yilong didn't like him. In that case, there was no need for him to show him a good attitude.
"Mm," Lin Xuan replied with a faint tone.
He then turned his gaze back to his phone.
He didn't shake hands with Liang Yilong either.
Little did he know, seeing him act like this, Liang Yilong vividly imagined a whole scenario in his head.
Heh.
This Lin Xuan must have seen that he was Jiang Yutong's boyfriend, which was why his attitude toward him was so poor.
He could guarantee 100% that Lin Xuan also had his eyes on Jiang Yutong!
Or he had his eyes on the Jiang family's fortune.
Liang Yilong's eyes darkened.
Jiang Yutong had even said that Lin Xuan was her younger brother.
What a great "brother" indeed.
Liang Yilong said, "Mr. Lin, with your conditions, there will definitely be many women who like you."
"There's no need for you to covet a woman who doesn't belong to you. If she's not yours, you'll never be able to steal her away."
Once he got his hands on the Jiang Corporation, he would definitely deal ruthlessly with Lin Xuan's Tianmu Group and drive it into bankruptcy. Only then would he be able to vent this frustration.
"Also, let me tell you one more thing: I'm not some soft persimmon that you can easily manipulate."
A question mark popped up in Lin Xuan's mind.
Did this Liang Yilong have something wrong with his head?
"Mr. Liang, have I offended you somewhere?" Lin Xuan frowned.
He had only met Liang Yilong twice, and during those two times, they hadn't spoken many words.
He really couldn't understand why Liang Yilong's hostility toward him was so intense.
Liang Yilong sneered and said, "Lin Xuan, you don't need to pretend with me here. We are both men; I understand exactly what you're thinking."
Lin Xuan shook his head and chose to ignore Liang Yilong.
Inside the kitchen.
Jiang Yutong and Jiang Manting carried plates of cooked food to the dining table in the dining room.
Jiang Yutong looked with satisfaction at the dishes she had made.
Fortunately, she liked good food and had specifically found a chef to practice her cooking skills.
Otherwise, she would really have fallen behind her oldest sister when it came to cooking to please Little Xuan.
"Tongtong, let's go over together and call Little Xuan to eat," Jiang Manting said.
"Okay."
Jiang Yutong nodded.
They walked out of the dining room together.
In the living room.
Liang Yilong poured a cup of tea and just happened to hear footsteps coming from the dining room.
Liang Yilong's eyes lit up slightly.
It should be the Jiang family coming out of the dining room.
In a moment, he would show them what kind of person Lin Xuan really was.
For Lin Xuan to have developed the Tianmu Group from nothing to its current status in just two short years, he must have used quite a few underhanded methods.
As long as he started this, the Jiang family might become suspicious and investigate Lin Xuan thoroughly.
Lin Xuan's methods would definitely be exposed to the Jiang family's eyes.
When that time came.
Heh.
It would be absolutely impossible for Lin Xuan to marry Jiang Yutong.
"Mr. Lin, you've been sitting here for so long, you must be thirsty. Come, have a cup of tea." Liang Yilong brought a cup of tea in front of Lin Xuan.
Lin Xuan's brows furrowed tightly.
When things are abnormal, there must be a demon at work.
This Liang Yilong wouldn't be so kind as to pour him tea.
He wanted to see what Liang Yilong was trying to do.
Lin Xuan quietly looked down at the hidden micro-camera on his collar.
This was something he had specifically developed—a surveillance camera only five millimeters in size that was very clear and could also record audio.
Wearing this camera could prepare him for unexpected needs.
And wouldn't you know, it came in handy today.
From the first moment he saw Liang Yilong today until now, every scene had been recorded by this camera.
The camera was on 24 hours a day. No, there was one exception.
That was when he was fooling around with Su Hua...
"No need, I won't drink," Lin Xuan refused.
"Mr. Lin, have a cup. If you don't drink it, aren't you not giving me face?" Liang Yilong continued.
"Take it away."
Lin Xuan pushed the cup away.
Lin Xuan fell for it!
Liang Yilong's hand tilted, and the cup of boiling hot tea poured onto his own hand.
"Ah—"
A painful cry erupted from Liang Yilong's mouth.
The boiling hot tea poured over the back of his hand, turning it entirely red.
Lin Xuan raised an eyebrow.
So this was what Liang Yilong had been waiting for.
However, having seen so much of Lin Li's tricks, Liang Yilong's manipulative tactics were things Lin Li had already overused.
He just didn't know if the Jiang family would be as blind as the Lin family.
Thinking of this.
Lin Xuan felt a sense of emptiness in his heart.
He subtly clenched his fists.
If the Jiang family sided with Liang Yilong without a second word, then he would leave the Jiang family.
He didn't acknowledge his ties with the Jiang family to be abused.
"What happened?" Jiang Yutong and Jiang Manting hurried over.
Hearing the commotion, Grandpa Jiang also came out of the dining room.
Liang Yilong deliberately placed the burn on his hand in a conspicuous position.
"I'm fine."
Liang Yilong shook his head and said, "Mr. Lin probably didn't do it on purpose."
"Tongtong, you and your sister, please don't blame Mr. Lin. It really was just me being careless."
Lin Xuan shook his head.
The manipulative vibe from Liang Yilong was practically overflowing.
Lin Xuan sat back down on the sofa, casually picked up an orange, and began eating it while watching the good show.
He wanted to see exactly how this Jiang family would handle the situation.
Jiang Yutong's brows were tightly furrowed.
Jiang Manting had been keeping a close eye on the expression on Liang Yilong's face, and she let out a cold laugh.
"Yes, indeed, it's impossible that Little Xuan did it on purpose."
Little Xuan was definitely not that kind of person.
She was clear about Little Xuan's character, and she was equally clear about Liang Yilong's character.

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.
