"Shuqin, my husband told me to go to the company, so I can't keep shopping with you."
"Me too. My son and daughter-in-law are fighting, and I have to go back and break it up."
Suddenly, all the wealthy ladies surrounding Jiang Shuqin left.
Jiang Shuqin knew exactly why they were leaving.
Her face darkened.
"Go, go, go."
"All of you, just leave!"
"You'll regret this later!"
If one person left, it meant they were busy. But if everyone left at the exact same time, it meant they were avoiding her.
They must have believed Lin Xuan's nonsense, thinking that some accident would happen at Li'er's pharmaceutical company's product launch tomorrow.
Hah? Was that even possible?
The only possible surprise would be if Lin Xuan's company managed to develop a stomach cancer drug that was cheaper and more incredibly effective than the one from Li'er's company.
But was that possible?
A specific drug for stomach cancer wasn't something you could just invent simply by saying so.
"Once tomorrow's product launch is over, you'll definitely come crawling back to curry favor with me."
"When that time comes, do you think I'll even pay attention to you?"
A smug smile appeared on Jiang Shuqin's face.
She was waiting for them to get a slap in the face tomorrow.
Jiang Shuqin returned to the Lin family home, humming a song the whole way.
Ever since Lin Li held the last press conference for the stomach cancer drug, the atmosphere in the Lin household wasn't as bad as before.
The whole family was getting along harmoniously.
Even Jiang Shuqin and Lin Chang, who used to argue the moment they got together, had been getting along very harmoniously these past few days.
Lin Qingwan curled her lips into a smile as she watched Jiang Shuqin and Lin Chang calmly talking to each other.
This kind of life was really nice.
Thank goodness for Li'er, otherwise Mom and Dad would still be fighting constantly.
Lin Li also returned.
He sat down on the sofa.
"Li'er," Jiang Shuqin walked amiably over to Lin Li. "You're going to hold the press conference for the stomach cancer drug tomorrow, right?"
"That's right."
Lin Li nodded and said, "Tomorrow, I will announce the real-time order status of the new drug."
The corners of Lin Li's lips couldn't help but rise.
Tomorrow, he would be able to completely turn his life around.
Moreover, his company would take this opportunity to go public, and then he could rake in money from the stock market.
He would definitely be able to make a fortune through the pharmaceutical company.
Step by step, he would become an existence that everyone looked up to.
"Good, good, good." Jiang Shuqin's face was full of smiles. "Li'er, how about Mom goes tomorrow too?"
"Sure, everyone should go." Lin Li nodded. "Mom, I've already arranged seats for all of you."
This Lin family could practically be considered his enemies.
He had to let them witness his success with their own eyes.
Once he completely laundered the money they gave him into his own.
He would then tear off all pretenses with them.
Oh, right.
If he could think of a way to make them take out loans, that would be perfect.
"My Li'er is so promising," Jiang Shuqin laughed proudly.
Lin Li said, "Mom, I said before that I would give you a good life, and I won't break my promise."
"Mhm."
Jiang Shuqin smiled and nodded.
Indeed, the good life Li'er was giving her was just around the corner.
"Li'er," Lin Chang asked with concern. "How is the production of those specific drugs going?"
Lin Li replied, "Dad, don't worry. Everything is being produced according to plan. I've invested all the money into the production of the drug. Later, when the drugs are sold and we recover some of the funds, I will continue producing more."
"Good," Lin Chang smiled and nodded.
He truly was a child born to Lin Chang.
So much drive and boldness.
Look at this, his very first entrepreneurial venture was a massive success!
Suddenly.
The news on the TV broadcasted an update.
[Tomorrow at noon, the medical research team led by Lin Xuan will publicly unveil their research and development results for the first time. At that time, they will hold a product launch. Shangqing University authorities state that this is a massive success, so let us all look forward to it.]
Lin Li frowned.
To think it was around the same time as their product launch, but twenty minutes earlier.
Seeing this news, Lin Qingwan's heart began to beat uneasily.
"Li'er, Little Xuan holding this press conference at this specific time... could it be targeting your new drug?"
Jiang Shuqin suddenly thought of what Lin Xuan had said today.
A wave of unease also rose in her heart.
"Li'er, I also saw Lin Xuan today. He implied that an accident would happen at your launch tomorrow, and he even said I wouldn't be smug for much longer."
"Li'er, do you think Lin Xuan actually has some trick up his sleeve to ruin the press conference?"
Lin Li said confidently, "Mom, Eldest Sister, just relax. The only thing Lin Xuan can do is target our product, but I've been strictly guarding against that these past few days exactly to stop him."
"There won't be any accidents, so don't worry."
Lin Chang also nodded. "Yeah, Lin Xuan is just trying to scare you."
"Besides, a research team made up of a bunch of students won't make any waves. Holding this press conference, they're definitely just announcing some trivial matters."
"If Lin Xuan could cause trouble even with this stomach cancer drug, do you really think he has god-like abilities?"
In other areas, the Jiang family or the Su family could help Lin Xuan, but neither of those two families were involved in the medical industry.
How else could they help Lin Xuan?
Without the help of the Su and Jiang families, Lin Xuan was just a piece of trash!
Hearing Lin Chang and Lin Li's words, Jiang Shuqin felt a little more at ease.
"Right, I overestimated Lin Xuan," Jiang Shuqin nodded and said.
Lin Qingwan remained deeply worried.
Was there really no problem?
But Little Xuan had never been one to lie. Maybe something really would happen tomorrow...
Lin Li curled his lips and said, "If Shangqing University wasn't holding this press conference, I probably would have forgotten about Lin Xuan."
"I'm going to send an invitation to Lin Xuan, inviting him to attend my product launch."
Looking at Lin Li's demeanor, Lin Qingwan only felt that he seemed like a stranger.
Didn't Li'er always protect Little Xuan in the past?
Now that he was about to succeed, why did he give her the feeling that he couldn't wait to show off to Little Xuan?
It felt a bit like a petty person gloating over their success.
Jiang Shuqin nodded in agreement. "That's right, we should send an invitation to Lin Xuan! Doesn't Lin Xuan want our family to end up destitute? Let's make him see with his own eyes how his dreams fall apart!"
Lin Chang had no objections to sending an invitation to Lin Xuan.
Lin Li, Jiang Shuqin, and Lin Chang had suffered too many setbacks because of Lin Xuan.
Now they could turn the tables.
They all wanted to properly vent their frustration and get back at Lin Xuan.

for mindless slaughter, this isn't for you.] My name is Ye Shu, and I'm a transmigrator. It seems I'm supposed to be the protagonist, but that feels pretty unlikely. This world has been invaded by a system. The antagonists on the other side have suddenly become pure, flawless saints. The female leads have been force-fed the so-called "original plot," making them think they've been reborn. Now, everyone thinks I'm scum. Including the old lady in my ring. And here I am, in the Monster Beast Mountain Range, braising pork. To put my situation in perspective— It's as if, the moment Xiao Yan stepped into the Monster Beast Mountain Range, the Soul Emperor already knew he would become the Flame Emperor, and Yao Lao had been turned to the enemy's side. I have nothing right now. Oh wait, that's not true. I do have a white-haired loli child-bride who's the Heavenly Dao, and her only skill is acting cute. So, tell me guys... what are my chances of making it to the end?
