Lin Li, It's All You

Apart from the hotel manager and the tour guide, hardly anyone paid attention to Jiang Shuqin’s presence.

Almost everyone’s eyes were fixed on Su Hua and Lin Xuan.

Their gazes were filled with admiration.

“President Su and President Lin—he’s so handsome, and she’s absolutely gorgeous. They’re such a perfect match.”

“Yeah, now that they’re married, it’s a union of powerhouses. No one will dare cross them anymore.”

“People at their level face all kinds of temptations, but after two years, they still only have eyes for each other. It’s obvious they’re deeply in love. I envy their relationship so much.”

Under the crowd’s watchful eyes, Su Hua and Lin Xuan stepped onto the red carpet, walking slowly toward the stage.

The head of the National Economic Management arrived.

Others from the economic department followed.

A huge stir rippled through the guests.

“Why are such big shots here? Are they attending Lin Xuan and President Su’s wedding too?”

If that were true, then Lin Xuan had incredible pull—even top national leaders had been invited.

“Ladies and gentlemen, I’ve come here today specifically to give Lin Xuan and Su Hua a wedding gift.”

“On behalf of the nation, I present to Lin Xuan and Su Hua the vacant land next to the Yundu New City Park, along with Yundu West Lake and the surrounding area.”

Boom!

The crowd was stunned, their eyes wide with shock.

Those two parcels alone were worth at least six to seven billion yuan.

Especially Yundu West Lake.

With its prosperous surrounding economy, developing a commercial zone there could generate hundreds of billions in value.

These were plots that everyone would fight tooth and nail over.

And they were being given away for free as a wedding gift?

Many muttered inwardly that this was utterly unfair.

Even if Lin Xuan was powerful, why should he get so much for nothing?

“Also, I have good news to share.”

The head of the National Economic Department smiled again as he spoke. “Lin Xuan, leading the Shangqing University Tianmu Group and the Su Family Group, has successfully developed the latest generation of chips.”

“This chip is currently the highest-performing chip in the world. The lithography machine used was also developed independently by them.”

“Lin Xuan has already submitted this technology to the nation. From now on, thirty percent of all profits from chip sales will be given to Shangqing University.”

Everyone’s eyes bulged.

What?

Lin Xuan had actually managed to develop the chips?

Those were just a group of college students!

And it seemed they’d been researching for less than a year…

Wasn’t that too absurd?

If it weren’t for the national leader announcing it, people would have dismissed it as fake.

“Comrade Lin Xuan has made an enormous contribution to our nation’s economy!”

“So, to recognize Lin Xuan’s contributions, and with his marriage coinciding with this moment, I’ve specially gifted the West Lake and the vacant land near the New City Park as his wedding present.”

At that moment, the live-stream comments went wild:

— Holy crap! Is Lin Xuan even human? Those are CHIPS! And he actually pulled it off!

— I suddenly remember months ago when everyone doubted Lin Xuan. I doubted him too. Damn, I’ve been slapped in the face again.

— Lin Xuan, oppa, you’re my god!

— I remember someone said if Lin Xuan really developed the chips, they’d eat shit upside down. Are you ready? I recall someone lost their bet and was forced to go live doing exactly that.

The internet user who made that vow was also watching the stream.

His face took on a look of despair.

He was just trash-talking for fun!

Besides, who would believe Lin Xuan could develop chips with a bunch of students who hadn’t even graduated yet?

It defied all logic.

But somehow, Lin Xuan had actually done it.

He prayed Lin Xuan wouldn’t remember that comment.

The user clasped his hands together.

He really didn’t want to eat shit upside down.

But… back then, Lin Xuan had said he remembered him. There was that one netizen who had offended Lin Xuan and was forced to do exactly that.

He probably wasn’t getting out of this one…

Su Hua and Lin Xuan stood on the stage.

She wore a wedding gown, he a suit. With their stunning looks, they radiated an indescribable harmony.

Lin Qingyan, Lin Qingwan, and Lin Qingxiu were watching the wedding live from different places.

“Little Xuan, we wish you happiness,” they said, their eyes red as they watched the stream.

But sadly, as Lin Xuan’s sisters, they couldn’t attend his wedding in person. Like ordinary netizens, they could only watch him get married from behind the screen.

In a cramped, tiny room,

Lin Chang was drinking.

He saw Lin Xuan and Su Hua on the screen, along with the leader giving them the gift.

Regret clawed at him as he pounded his chest.

“The Su family group. The Tianmu Group.”

“All those riches and glory should have been mine.”

How had he ended up penniless like this?

“It’s all gone. None of it’s left.”

“Pfft—”

Lin Chang spat out a mouthful of blood.

He collapsed.

Lin Chang was now paralyzed.

The other Lin family members heard the news but no one came to care for him.

He could only lie in bed, barely surviving on the help of a community-assigned caretaker. But even then, he didn’t have a single good day.

The caretaker recognized Lin Chang.

Since no one seemed to care about Lin Chang, the caretaker was sloppy—never turning him over.

Lin Chang lay there, and from lying in one position too long, sores broke out on his back. Maggot wriggled inside, feasting on his blood and flesh.

And yet, the caretaker kept feeding and hydrating him, so he wouldn’t die. He could only lie in pain.

The TV played on.

Lin Li also saw their wedding unfolding on screen.

Lin Li’s throat had been scalded before, leaving him unable to speak. Now, after some time, his voice had recovered a little.

But his words were still hoarse and mumbled.

Lin Li stared at the screen, his eyes burning.

“Lin Xuan.”

He gritted his teeth.

“You’re the one who turned me into this wreck. Why should you have it so good?”

He couldn’t stomach it.

If only he could one day get revenge on Lin Xuan. But right now, he couldn’t even escape Qin Ruoyao’s grip, let alone go after Lin Xuan.

Qin Ruoyao was also watching the TV.

“Brother Lin Xuan.”

Qin Ruoyao’s voice was filled with agony. “You actually married Su Hua.”

“It was supposed to be me marrying you.”

Then something clicked, and her eyes turned vicious as she glared at Lin Li. “It’s all your fault, Lin Li! If it weren’t for you, I’d never have parted ways with Brother Lin Xuan.”

“How could Su Hua ever get to be with him?”

Qin Ruoyao grabbed a barbecue skewer and started savagely stabbing Lin Li’s arm.

She barely let Lin Li eat enough to survive.

He had no strength left to fight back.

“Ahh—”

Lin Li screamed in agony.

“Help…”

A desperate cry of anguish escaped his lips.

But all this time, he had been shouting for help at the top of his lungs, yet no one had paid him any attention.

This time should be no different.

Lin Li closed his eyes in despair.

If only he had known, he would never have provoked Qin Ruoyao.

Qin Ruoyao was nothing but a lunatic!
