"Tell those people to continue keeping an eye on Su Corporation. I refuse to believe she’ll never show up there!" Shen Qianqian gritted her teeth.
"Yes, Miss," the bodyguard replied respectfully.
Shen Qianqian got into her family's car.
Her expression was stubborn. "Lin Xuan, sooner or later, you’ll be mine!"
Shen Qianqian returned to the Shen residence.
Shen Mao, looking haggard, sat in the study, staring at the content on his computer.
"Dad," Shen Qianqian walked into the study, "can you assign more people to me?"
She wanted to ensure her plan against that woman was foolproof.
So she needed more manpower.
Shen Mao frowned. "Six people aren’t enough?"
"No," Shen Qianqian shook her head. "That woman is too arrogant. I haven’t found the right moment to act. Today, in front of everyone, she pushed me. Look, my knees and hands are injured."
It was actually Lin Xuan who had pushed her.
But Shen Qianqian stubbornly believed that if it weren’t for Su Hua using some trick to make Lin Xuan despise her, he wouldn’t have treated her like this.
So she blamed everything on Su Hua.
Shen Mao, who usually indulged Shen Qianqian and granted her every wish, didn’t comply this time.
"Qianqian, six people should be enough. The company is going through some issues right now, and we can’t spare more manpower," Shen Mao said, massaging his temples wearily. "By the way, deal with that woman quickly. I’ll need those people for something else in a few days."
Recently, the company had been hit by a series of crises, leaving him no time to focus on Shen Qianqian’s matters.
"Fine," Shen Qianqian nodded dejectedly.
After Shen Qianqian left, Shen Mao went back to reviewing documents.
He had a feeling someone was manipulating the Shen Corporation’s affairs, but he couldn’t figure out who it was.
The opponent’s methods were sophisticated, and their power was formidable.
Otherwise, they wouldn’t have been able to push Shen Corporation, one of the top companies in Yundu City, to this point.
Who had they provoked?
Shen Mao racked his brain but couldn’t come up with an answer.
Shen Qianqian returned home, still fuming. She went to Chen Yu’s house.
Behind a closed door, hiding from Chen Yu’s seriously ill mother, she began tormenting Chen Yu.
Chen Yu clenched her teeth, enduring Shen Qianqian’s beating without a sound.
After Shen Qianqian left, Chen Yu changed into clean clothes and put on a mask to hide her swollen face, afraid her mother would see.
She then carried the medicine into her mother’s room.
"Mom, wake up. It’s time to take your medicine."
Chen Yu tried to shake her mother awake but instead found her mother’s face pale and a large pool of blood on the bed.
Her mother had slit her wrists.
"Mom—"
Chen Yu cried out in anguish.
Beside her mother was a letter that read, "Yu Yu, I know you’ve been bullied because of me and your father. You’re my beloved daughter, and I want you to live your own life without having to endure any more suffering because of me. Yu Yu, don’t be sad. Your father passed away in a car accident last week, and I’m just going to join him."
Tear stains had dried on Chen’s mother’s face.
She had witnessed her daughter being tormented by Shen Qianqian and couldn’t bear to be a burden anymore.
"Mom—"
Chen Yu knelt on the floor, clutching the letter to her chest as she wept.
In the private room, after Shen Qianqian left, Su Hua didn’t let Lin Xuan go. She straddled him and said, "Ah Xuan, now that the nuisance is gone, let’s continue what we started."
Su Hua mimicked the poses from a romance novel, gradually drawing Lin Xuan deeper into her charm.
Another book had taught her that women shouldn’t be too domineering in front of men. They should play the role of the delicate one when necessary.
So Su Hua no longer forced Lin Xuan as she had before.
Instead, she enticed him, letting him take the lead, though occasionally she would take charge. The book said this was part of the spice in a relationship, adding freshness to their bond.
Su Hua wanted Lin Xuan to be completely dependent on her, body and soul, with no room for anyone else.
She had even stopped taking the tonics Jiang Qing had recommended.
In the end, Lin Xuan carried Su Hua out of the private room.
Jiang Qing checked the time. It had been three hours since Shen Qianqian left. So, they had spent those three hours in the room…
Not bad, not bad at all.
It must have been quite intense.
Just look at Su Hua’s lips—they were so red and swollen, though there was a small cut at the corner.
Back at Night Garden, Lin Xuan placed Su Hua on the sofa in the bedroom and knelt down to apply medicine to the corner of her mouth.
Su Hua watched him with a smile the entire time.
Lin Xuan frowned disapprovingly. "Hua Bao, don’t do this again in the future."
Su Hua didn’t respond.
As long as Lin Xuan was happy, she was willing to do anything…
Lin Li had sent members of the underground organization Black Net to capture Lin Xuan, but there had been no news of success.
He couldn’t help but contact them again.
"What’s going on? It’s been so long, and you still haven’t succeeded?"
The person in charge replied, "We don’t know his whereabouts. How can we succeed? My people have been staking out Qing University and Tianmu Corporation, but they’ve found nothing."
"Sir, please be patient."
Lin Li thought of Su Hua.
If Lin Xuan wasn’t at Qing University or Tianmu Corporation, he must be at Su Hua’s place.
But he didn’t dare tell them that Lin Xuan was being kept by Su Hua.
Given Su Hua’s status, they wouldn’t dare touch Lin Xuan, or they might demand a huge sum of money to take action.
Lin Li had no choice but to wait.
"Lin Xuan, enjoy your freedom while it lasts," Lin Li said darkly.
"Make the most of your remaining days."
Once Black Net captured Lin Xuan, his good days would be over.
Lin Li went downstairs.
Lin Qingwan and Lin Qingyan had brought Jiang Shuqin back to the Lin residence. Jiang Shuqin was in a daze, as if she had lost her soul.
"Why? Why has everyone betrayed me?" Jiang Shuqin kept muttering.
"Big sister, second sister, what’s wrong with Mom?" Lin Li asked worriedly.
Jiang Shuqin’s vacant gaze fell on Lin Li.
For some reason, she saw Wang Yajun in him.
"Bitch! You’re Wang Yajun’s son, aren’t you? You and your mother are both shameless bitches!"
She began clawing and scratching at Lin Li.
Lin Li’s eyes widened in shock.
His heart raced.
What did Jiang Shuqin mean?
Was he Wang Yajun’s son?
Did the Lin family know about his true origins?
Lin Li’s face turned pale. If Jiang Shuqin found out he was the son of a mistress, she would surely kick him out of the Lin family and bring back Lin Xuan, her real son.
Then he would lose everything.
What should he do?
grated, and just when he finally managed to get into an elite academy, he discovered that he actually had a system, and the way to earn rewards was extremely ridiculous. So for the sake of rewards, he had no choice but to start acting ridiculous as well. Su Cheng: "It's nothing but system quests after all." But later, what confused Su Cheng was that while he was already quite ridiculous, he never expected those serious characters to gradually become ridiculous too. And the way they looked at him became increasingly strange... (This synopsis doesn't do it justice, please read the full story)
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?
. As long as he maintains the villain image and follows the plot to the grand finale, he can obtain generous rewards and return to the real world. So Gu Chen'an entered the role and began to act as a scumbag villain, but who would have expected that the female leads could hear his inner thoughts. Miss Su from the Su family was shocked: "I originally thought Gu Chen'an was a scumbag, but I didn't expect he turned out to be a gentleman! What? You said I have to call off the engagement? I definitely won't, I'll piss you off!" Bai Yuan Tian was dumbfounded: "Young Master Gu is usually unreasonable and a complete brat, but he actually calls me little sweetie in his heart? What, Young Master Gu even said he likes me?" As the female leads' images collapsed more and more, the plot also collapsed with it. Gu Chen'an looked at all this chaos. "Ladies, don't aggro me, if you keep this up the male lead really will stab me, I still need to survive to the grand finale!"
