Since things had reached this point, Lin Xuan had no choice but to accept the shares.
"Then thank you, Grandpa," Lin Xuan said.
"No need for thanks, no need. You are my grandson, and as your grandfather, it's only right to give my grandson a little something," Old Master Jiang said with a beaming smile.
Little Xuan's 'Grandpa' sounded so wonderful; it almost melted his heart.
Jiang Yutong and Jiang Manting simply watched as Old Master Jiang gave fifteen percent of the shares to Lin Xuan.
If it weren't for Lin Xuan, this fifteen percent would have belonged to the two sisters.
However, Jiang Yutong and Jiang Manting didn't feel the slightest bit of resentment.
On the contrary, they felt it was Lin Xuan's rightful share.
"Little Xuan, next time you come over, remember to bring your girlfriend."
He wanted to see exactly who Little Xuan's girlfriend was.
Jiang Manting and Jiang Yutong exchanged a glance.
If Grandpa found out that Little Xuan's girlfriend was Su Hua, who knew how he would react.
Grandpa did think Su Hua was outstanding, and felt she was the only one worthy of Little Xuan.
It was just that Su Hua had a grandfather who made their grandfather gnash his teeth in anger.
Grandpa had even said before.
If Old Master Su became his in-law, it would probably anger him to death.
"By the way, Little Xuan, aren't you quite familiar with that old man Su? Bring him along when you come, too."
Old Master Jiang snorted.
Old Man Su had always tried to stop Little Xuan from acknowledging him.
If he saw the deep bond between him and Little Xuan with his own eyes, Old Man Su would definitely be furious.
As long as Old Man Su was infuriated, he would be happy!
"Grandpa," Jiang Yutong said, "I think it's better to just let Little Xuan bring his girlfriend over to meet us. Let's talk about seeing Old Master Su later."
Grandpa finding out who Little Xuan's girlfriend was would be a big enough shock on its own.
If Old Master Su tagged along too.
Grandpa might just burst from anger.
"No," Old Master Jiang said resolutely. "He must come on that day."
If Old Man Su didn't come, how could he properly infuriate that old man?
He couldn't miss this chance to feel proud and vindicated.
"Tongtong, just let Grandpa have his way."
Jiang Manting sighed.
From the looks of it, Grandpa was determined to have Old Master Su come over.
Forget it.
Little Xuan's medical skills were quite advanced. With Little Xuan there, Grandpa wouldn't have any accidents; at most, he'd just get a little worked up.
Lin Xuan didn't know about the complicated history between Old Master Su and Old Master Jiang.
He nodded, "Alright, next time, I'll definitely bring them both."
"Then, Little Xuan," Old Master Jiang added, "whenever your girlfriend is free, bring her over. Your eldest sister, second sister, and I are always free."
"As for that Old Man Su, he's definitely free anytime, so you don't need to worry about his schedule."
"Okay." Lin Xuan nodded.
Not long after finishing the meal.
Lin Xuan headed back.
Carrying the gifts the Jiang family had given him, he felt a heavy weight of gratitude.
He had never imagined that the Jiang family would treat him so well...
However.
No matter how well the Jiang family treated him, Lin Xuan still maintained a sense of vigilance. He didn't dare completely treat them as his family and trust them without reservation...
Su Hua was sitting in the living room waiting for Lin Xuan.
She wore a bright red qipao, and through the high slit of the skirt, a slender, fair, long leg was visible.
Her lips were painted with bright red lipstick.
She looked bright and dazzling.
The servants couldn't help but steal a few more glances at Su Hua.
There was probably no one in this world more beautiful than their Young Miss.
If Young Master Lin hadn't appeared, they would truly believe no man in the world was worthy of her.
Su Hua was flipping through a business magazine.
"Miss, Young Master Lin is back," a servant said respectfully.
"Mhm."
Su Hua nodded.
She put down the magazine and walked toward Lin Xuan.
When she saw Lin Xuan holding two kraft paper bags with seven servants behind him carrying various gift boxes,
Su Hua furrowed her brows slightly.
"Ah Xuan, what are these..."
Lin Xuan replied, "These are all gifts from my grandpa, eldest sister, and second sister."
Su Hua pursed her lips.
They actually gave Ah Xuan so many things.
Had they made up their minds to steal her place in Ah Xuan's heart?
"Young Master Lin," Butler Wang asked curiously, "what exactly did the Jiang family give you?"
Lin Xuan answered, "The property rights to Haiyue Island and fifteen percent of the shares in the Jiang Group."
"And these gifts behind me."
Butler Wang's face was full of astonishment.
Haiyue Island...
Did the eldest miss of the Jiang family really give Haiyue Island to Young Master Lin?
This Haiyue Island was bought by the eldest miss of the Jiang family for eight hundred million. The small island was tiny and barren; no one had expected that vast resources would be hidden around it.
Because of Haiyue Island, the eldest miss of the Jiang family had already become a legendary figure in the investment world.
And fifteen percent of the Jiang family's shares.
This sum of money was even more massive.
Young Master Lin was truly a winner in life.
Just relying on the gifts from the Jiang family, Young Master Lin had leaped into becoming a man worth tens of billions...
Furthermore, the Jiang family was very generous to Young Master Lin.
All these gifts in the back added up to probably several hundred million as well.
Not bad, not bad at all.
Butler Wang's eyes grew slightly moist.
After spending these past few years together, he now genuinely treated Young Master Lin as his own grandson.
Those people from the Lin family had treated Young Master Lin too poorly.
They couldn't even be considered Young Master Lin's relatives.
Young Master Lin could finally experience true familial love now.
Su Hua just kept staring at the gifts in Lin Xuan's hands.
Lin Xuan noticed Su Hua's gaze.
He frowned in confusion, "Hua, what are you looking at?"
Su Hua replied, "Nothing."
She retracted her gaze.
Her eyes darkened slightly.
It seemed she also needed to prepare more gifts for Ah Xuan.
"Ah Xuan," Su Hua said, seemingly casually, "how did you get along with the Jiang family today?"
Lin Xuan thought Su Hua was genuinely worried about his relationship with the Jiang family.
He nodded and answered truthfully, "Yeah, quite well. They treat me very well and are very considerate of my feelings."
"Today, when second sister's boyfriend tried to slander me, the Jiang family believed me unconditionally."
From Lin Xuan's tone, Su Hua could clearly feel that his affection for the Jiang family had deepened significantly.
Su Hua pursed her lips tightly.
Instead, she hoped Ah Xuan would have conflicts with the Jiang family, so he wouldn't be so close to them.
The Jiang family was really an eyesore.
Su Hua's expression darkened slightly.
"Hua, Grandpa, eldest sister, and second sister want to have a meal with you, and they said to bring Grandpa Su along. Hua, when are you free?" Lin Xuan asked.
Su Hua answered, "In three days."
"Okay," Lin Xuan nodded.
Su Hua lowered her eyes.
It was time for her to meet the Jiang family as well.
If the Jiang family dared to hinder her and Ah Xuan from being together, they couldn't blame her for using manipulative tactics to alienate Ah Xuan from them...
A cold glint flashed through Su Hua's eyes.
At the Jiang family residence.
A family of three sat on the sofa.
Jiang Manting looked at the stock charts on her phone, studying the stocks.
Meanwhile, Jiang Yutong was scrolling through her phone, browsing for a gift to give her younger brother.

Why do the demons and monsters in the prison wail miserably every night? Why has the corpse demon, capable of transforming into various beauties, donned black stockings and switched careers to become a foot massage therapist? Why has the eye demon, expert in soul-snatching and illusions, turned into a VR headset? Why is the fox spirit performing otaku dances? Are all these occurrences a twisted expression of demonic nature, or a descent into moral depravity? After peeling away layer upon layer of mystery, all clues ultimately point to a jailer named Gu Qingfeng. Gu Qingfeng: "Hehehe... My dear demons and monsters, whose card shall we flip today?"
【Prologue: The Beginning of It All – Use holy water to heal the saintess tainted by demonic energy, then converse with her.】 Shen Nian stared at his older sister sipping yogurt, lost in thought. So you’re telling me my sister is the saintess, and yogurt is the holy water? 【Main Quest 1: Brave Youth, Become an Adventurer! Reward: Rookie Adventurer Title.】 【Side Quest 1: Find the Adorable Kitty! Reward: 1000 Gold Coins.】 Shen Nian: "Wait, I’m a high school senior here—did some guy who got isekai’d accidentally bind his system to me?" Hold on, completing quests gives gold rewards? Titles even boost stats? Is this for real? (A lighthearted, absurd campus comedy—not a revenge power fantasy.)
transmigrates into the world as the sect master of the Heavenly Yan Sect, which is on the verge of being wiped out. He binds a system that grants him cultivation power based on the number of disciples he has: for each disciple, he automatically gains a year's worth of cultivation every single day! Take one disciple: every day he gains 1 year of cultivation power. While others struggle through a year of bitter training, he gets the same just by sleeping through a single night. Take ten disciples: every day he gains 10 years of cultivation power. Foundation Establishment, Core Formation, Nascent Soul—he breezes through all bottlenecks without lifting a finger. Take one hundred disciples: every day he gains 100 years of cultivation power. Even a Soul Transformation Venerable before him can’t survive a single blow. Take ten thousand disciples: every day he gains 10,000 years of cultivation power! With a wave of his hand, he topples empires. With a single step, he crushes the sacred grounds of the universe. ... While others fight tooth and nail for secret techniques, Lin Yan casually hands out Nascent Soul-level cultivation manuals as beginner textbooks. While others strain to find talented recruits, Lin Yan opens his doors to anyone—so long as they’re human. In just three short years, the Heavenly Yan Sect went from a backwater sect made up of three crumbling huts to a sacred land that every cultivator under heaven would kill to enter. ... One day, otherworldly demon gods invade, with a million demon soldiers pressing down upon the realm. Lin Yan, yawning, rises from his lounge chair and glances at the system panel: [Current Disciples: 1.28 million] [Daily Cultivation Increase: 1.28 million years] He waves his hand casually, and the countless demon soldiers are reduced to ashes in an instant. “So noisy… interrupting my fishing.”
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.
