Su Hua suddenly felt that the outfit she was wearing wasn't so unpleasant to the eye after all.
"Mhm," Su Hua nodded. "Let's go."
The stylist breathed a sigh of relief.
It was finally over.
Women in love were truly different.
Secretary Jiang still understood President Su best.
Secretary Jiang had hit the nail right on the head.
Elder Jiang was already at the venue for the recognition banquet.
Lin Xuan, Jiang Yutong, and Jiang Manting's group were still at the Jiang residence.
"Xiao Xuan, how does it look?"
Jiang Yutong had changed into an emerald green tube top gown.
Her curly hair was tied up into a fluffy bun.
Two strands of hair fell by her cheeks.
She spun around in front of Lin Xuan.
"What do you think of my outfit?" Jiang Yutong asked.
Lin Xuan nodded, "Mhm, not bad at all."
The Jiang family's genetics were indeed very good.
Everyone in the Jiang family was good-looking, including Jiang Shuqin.
Lin Chang also had a handsome face in his youth; he had just gained weight in his middle age.
Otherwise, Jiang Shuqin wouldn't have been so love-struck back then, insisting on being with Lin Chang even if it meant severing ties with the Jiang family.
The one thing Lin Chang and Jiang Shuqin did right was having good genes.
Otherwise, he wouldn't have such good looks to make Hua fall for him.
Speaking of which.
He wondered what kind of outfit Hua would be wearing today...
"Xiao Xuan."
Jiang Manting walked over wearing a black gown. "What about mine?"
"What... do you think of my outfit?"
Lin Xuan nodded, "Eldest Sister, your outfit is also very nice. It's very elegant and dignified."
"Thank you, Xiao Xuan," Jiang Manting smiled.
"It's getting late, let's head out," Jiang Manting said.
"Mhm."
Lin Xuan nodded.
They headed to the hotel together.
At this moment, the hotel was bustling with people. Those invited to the Jiang family's banquet were all either rich or aristocratic.
Dressed in expensive formal wear, they chatted and drank with one another.
"Who do you think the grandson the Jiang family is officially recognizing could be?"
Feng's Father had a decent relationship with Elder Jiang.
It was from Elder Jiang that Feng's Father learned that Lin Xuan was his grandson.
The others didn't know that the subject of this recognition banquet was Lin Xuan.
"The Jiang family is developing better and better. Elder Jiang's eldest granddaughter is a female business genius second only to President Su, and his youngest granddaughter has also successfully built up a cosmetics company. They even have influence in military and political circles. This newly found youngest grandson is too lucky."
"I wonder who exactly has this kind of blessing."
"Do you think it could be Lin Xuan?"
These guests had basically all attended the previous recognition banquet the Jiang family held for Lin Li.
They all knew that Lin Xuan was the true maternal grandson of the Jiang family.
"It shouldn't be Lin Xuan. If it were really Lin Xuan, why would they be recognizing a grandson instead of a maternal grandson?"
"I also think it's impossible for it to be Lin Xuan. Elder Jiang has already severed ties with Jiang Shuqin, so how could he possibly recognize Lin Xuan?"
The guests began to look around, wanting to see who exactly the Jiang family's recognition subject was.
Lin Chang, Lin Li, and Lin Qingwan had also come to the recognition banquet.
They stood at the entrance.
The guests walking through the door recognized Lin Li.
"Isn't that the damn eunuch Lin Li? What is he doing here?"
"Lin Li previously impersonated Elder Jiang's maternal grandson and was exposed. How does he still have the nerve to show his face?"
"What's there to be embarrassed about? As long as you're shameless enough, anything goes, right?"
Hearing these words, Lin Li's face turned livid.
Just as Jiang Shuqin had said, him coming to this recognition banquet was just asking for humiliation!
He really wanted to just turn around and leave, but he couldn't.
If he just left like that, it would definitely incur Lin Chang's displeasure.
Lin Chang had been the chairman of Xinghui Group for so many years. Even though he had already taken out some money, he definitely still had a large sum on hand.
Lin Chang was currently paranoid and suspicious. If he just left directly, it would definitely make Lin Chang unhappy.
He hadn't yet squeezed out all the money in Lin Chang's hands.
He had to make sure to curry favor with Lin Chang.
"Xiao Li, are you okay?" Lin Qingwan asked worriedly.
Lin Li shook his head, "Eldest Sister, don't worry, I'm fine."
Lin Chang said with an ugly expression, "Stop worrying about him. If he really cared, he wouldn't have impersonated Lin Xuan to claim ties with the Jiang family in the first place!"
After what happened this time, Lin Li had once again become the laughingstock of high society.
All of his face had been completely thrown away by Lin Li!
"Dad, I'm sorry," Lin Li pursed his lips and said. "Back then, I was also doing it for the Lin family. I wanted to find a backer for the Lin family to resist Lin Xuan, but I never expected it to backfire."
Lin Chang's expression was terrible.
Li'er was the most sensible. Of course he knew that everything Li'er did was for the good of the Lin family.
However, he just found him inexplicably an eyesore.
Lin Chang took a deep breath and bypassed the topic.
"Our status is awkward right now, and the people inside are all rich and noble. After we go in, we absolutely must not casually offend anyone, understand?"
Even if there was no way to repair their relationship with the Jiang family, it would still be good to network with these high society figures.
"Dad, I know." Lin Li and Lin Qingwan nodded one after another.
They walked into the banquet hall together.
Many people noticed them.
They began discussing in confusion.
"Why did the Jiang family invite the Lin family over? Could it be that they want to mend their relationship with the Lin family?"
"That should be it. No matter what, Jiang Shuqin is Elder Jiang's only daughter after all. Especially now that he's getting older, he really wants his children by his side. It's completely normal for him to mend ties with the Lin family."
"If that's really the case, we have to make sure to get on good terms with the Lin family."
That way, they might be able to latch onto the Jiang family.
Although they were invited by the Jiang family to attend the banquet, their actual relationship with the Jiang family was merely average, let alone expecting the Jiang family to do anything for them.
If the Jiang family and the Lin family truly restored their relationship, with the Lin family leading the way, they might just be able to cooperate with the Jiang Group.
Lin Chang took the initiative to strike up conversations with those people, and they all responded very politely.
Lin Chang was beaming with joy.
Ever since Xinghui Group went bankrupt, especially after Wan'er's company also followed suit into bankruptcy, the people in high society had all given him the cold shoulder. Since when were they ever this enthusiastic?
Elder Jiang merely glanced at Lin Chang, snorted coldly, and then continued conversing with others.
Elder Su walked into the recognition banquet venue.
Elder Jiang blew on his beard in annoyance.
He clearly hadn't invited Old Man Su, yet this Old Man Su had shown up uninvited.
"Elder Su, Elder Su is here!" someone said excitedly.
Wait, wasn't it said that Elder Su was Elder Jiang's mortal enemy?
Why did Elder Su come to attend the Jiang family's recognition banquet?
Those people couldn't help but wonder in their minds.
If Elder Su came to attend the banquet, what about President Su?
"Elder Su, I wonder if your granddaughter has come?" a man asked curiously.

and couldn't return to the real world. Finally, I gave up and decided to go with the flow, only to discover that writing a diary could make me stronger. Since no one could read it, Su Luo wrote freely, daring to pen anything and everything. Female Lead #1: "Not bad. This diary helped me steal all the protagonist's opportunities. I just want to get stronger." Female Lead #2: "I don’t care about reaching the peak of the cultivation world. Right now, I just want to enjoy the chaos." Female Lead #3: "What? Everyone around me is a spy? I’m the Joker Demon Lord?" ... It’s so strange. Why is the plot completely off track, yet the ending remains the same? Are you all just messing with me?!

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.”
