"How could I have raised such a heartless son like you!" Jiang Shuqin seethed, her teeth clenched. She truly regretted it—why hadn’t she strangled him back then? Instead, she had left him in the wilderness.
Lin Xuan’s expression was aloof. "Mrs. Jiang, you’re right, I truly am a heartless wretch. This video is my first gift to you. A reunion gift, if you will." A reunion gift for his rebirth.
"There will be more gifts to come in the future," Lin Xuan said with a faint smile, his eyes filled with endless coldness.
"You, you!" Jiang Shuqin was so furious that her chest heaved violently.
Lin Chang also looked at Lin Xuan with a grim expression.
He hadn’t expected that Lin Xuan now viewed the Lin family as his enemies.
Lin Chang coldly stated, "Lin Xuan, do you think that because you’ve been kept by someone, you’ve grown wings and can now stand against the Lin family?"
"Whether I can or not, why don’t we find out?" Lin Xuan shrugged.
Lin Chang didn’t take Lin Xuan seriously at all.
Just one individual like Lin Xuan attempting to challenge a massive entity like the Lin family? It was laughable!
He never thought his son would not only be morally corrupt but also so utterly delusional!
How could he have sired such a son?
"Fine, fine, Lin Xuan. I’ll be watching to see what you can do to the Starlight Group," Lin Chang said, almost laughing in anger.
Lin Li clenched his fists.
He didn’t harbor any concerns about Lin Xuan, this so-called worthless person. However, Lin Xuan’s backing was Su Hua, the woman who held sway over Su Corporation, capable of flipping the world upside down with a mere wave of her hand.
That said, if Lin Xuan harbored such deep hatred for the Lin family, why not just have Su Hua act against them?
Thinking this, Lin Li’s expression darkened.
Lin Xuan hadn’t considered causing the Starlight Group to collapse. By making such bold claims, he was clearly trying to draw the attention of the Lin family!
Today, Lin Xuan had exposed his ugly side in front of his parents, which was sure to drive a wedge between them.
By driving him away, Lin Xuan himself could return to the Lin family.
Lin Xuan hadn’t relied on his relationship with Su Hua to return to the Lin family because he knew that Su Hua, a woman of such status, merely viewed him as a plaything.
Lin Xuan was well aware that even if he returned to the Lin family as a young master by clinging to Su Hua, one day when Su Hua cast him aside, he would also be ousted from the Lin family.
Therefore, Lin Xuan was taking a long-term approach. First, he would subtly use Su Hua’s influence to make his parents and sisters lose all hope in him.
Once he was driven out of the Lin family, Lin Xuan would return triumphantly.
Yes! It must be like this!
Lin Li’s gaze was laced with cold intent.
He hadn’t expected Lin Xuan to be wiser than he’d thought. He admitted, this time, he had lost.
But he would only lose once.
Lin Xuan would never trap him again!
"Mrs. Jiang, Chairman Lin, I’m leaving now. I wish you all a harmonious family life, and may you never drift apart," Lin Xuan turned and left.
With the show over, it was time for him to go find Su Hua.
Lin Qingwan rushed back from the company, having already heard about everything that had transpired at the banquet while on her way.
As soon as she entered the banquet hall, she encountered Lin Xuan heading her way.
"Xiao Xuan," Lin Qingwan blocked Lin Xuan.
"What is it?" Lin Xuan asked coldly.
"Xiao Xuan, I’ve heard about what happened at the banquet," Lin Qingwan said, pursing her lips. "Don’t blame your older sister for being harsh, but you made a mistake."
Lin Qingwan once again began to lecture Lin Xuan from her moral high ground.
"Xiao Xuan, even if Xiao Li and Qin Ruoyao were entangled, their affairs should’ve been resolved privately within our family, not exposed like this at the banquet."
"You’ve tarnished the reputation of the Lin family, and as a listed company, this will also affect Starlight Group."
Of course, Lin Qingwan was also worried that this incident would further strain Lin Xuan’s relationship with the Lin family.
It would make it even harder for Lin Xuan to return to the family in the future.
Lin Xuan’s expression remained indifferent.
"All of this, I am aware of," Lin Xuan said, his lips curling into a mocking smile. "I chose today to expose it deliberately."
"Xiao Xuan, you…" Lin Qingwan’s face showed disappointment.
She hadn’t expected Lin Xuan to truly act against the Lin family. They were all family, and even if their parents had treated him poorly, they were the ones who had brought him into this world.
How could Lin Xuan behave in such a way?
"Xiao Xuan, such actions against your parents will make outsiders see you as heartless, which will damage your reputation," Lin Qingwan said earnestly.
"Reputation? You’re talking to me about reputation?" Lin Xuan’s tone was mocking. "Since returning to the Lin family, when has my reputation ever been good? Since it’s already so bad, I don’t mind adding the stigma of being a heartless wretch against my family."
Lin Qingwan was momentarily speechless.
“Lin Qingwan, a good dog doesn’t get in the way, and you’re blocking my path,” Lin Xuan’s voice carried no emotion.
Lin Qingwan could only step aside.
Lin Xuan left, and Lin Qingwan watched his retreating back, her eyes brimming with tears.
They were blood-related kin, yet now they seemed like enemies.
Lin Qingwan walked over to Jiang Shuqin in a daze.
"Wan’er, what did you just say to Lin Xuan?" Lin Chang frowned, asking.
Lin Qingwan, pale-faced, recounted Lin Xuan’s words word for word.
"Bang!"
Lin Chang, furious, slammed his fist on the table.
Jiang Shuqin also clenched her teeth and said, "I told you not to bring Lin Xuan back then, didn’t I? Look at what he’s done to our family now?"
Lin Chang was also filled with regret.
He shouldn’t have brought Lin Xuan back from the orphanage, just because he was his son.
Lin Xuan had been wild for so long that his character was already unredeemable.
He had never seen any son opposing his own family like this!
"Husband, you must teach Lin Xuan a lesson," Jiang Shuqin said through gritted teeth.
“He’s still a student, what kind of punishment can I give him?” Lin Chang lit a cigarette, puffing on it restlessly.
"But I’ll send someone to find out who’s keeping him."
If it was just someone with a little money, he would command her to cut ties with Lin Xuan.
Starlight Group’s gaming division was doing well, with many computer talents in the company, so they had some sway in the computer field.
When Lin Xuan graduated, he would make sure Lin Xuan couldn’t find a job.
Then Lin Xuan would realize that without the Lin family, he was nothing!
Jiang Shuqin's cold gaze fell upon Qin Ruoyao, who was pale-faced.
I never thought that even fraud would be attempted on Xiao Li’s head. Qin Ruoyao, you truly are worthy of being Lin Xuan’s fiancée!" Jiang Shuqin’s face was frozen in a dark expression.
If it weren’t for this vixen, today’s incident wouldn’t have happened!
How would Xiao Li ever show his face outside again?
"Auntie, I never intended to harm Xiao Li. I like Xiao Li, why would I harm him?" Qin Ruoyao said tearfully.
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.

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.”
