"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?
u Chenyuan transmigrated into a female-oriented novel about a real and fake heiress, becoming the CEO elder brother of both. Unfortunately, the entire Lu family—including himself, the CEO—were mere cannon fodder in the story. Determined to save himself, Lu Chenyuan took action. The spoiled, attention-seeking fake heiress? Thrown into the harsh realities of the working class to learn humility. The love-struck real heiress? Pushed toward academic excellence, so lofty goals would blind her to trivial romances. As for the betrayed, vengeful arranged marriage wife… the plot hadn’t even begun yet. There was still time—if he couldn’t handle her, he could at least avoid her. "CEO Lu, are you avoiding me?" Mo Qingli fixed her gaze on Lu Chenyuan. For the first time, the shrewd and calculating Lu Chenyuan felt a flicker of unease.
