"Lin Chang." Feng Weimin stared coldly at Lin Chang. "All our collaborations are canceled! From now on, there will be no further dealings between the Lin family and the Feng family."
Lin Chang's face turned pale.
These collaborations, recently signed between Starlight Group and Feng Corporation, were meant to propel Starlight Group's growth to new heights.
Now, canceled.
This meant losing a golden opportunity for advancement.
Moreover, with the marriage called off, Feng Corporation would never become an asset of the Lin family.
First, it was Shen Corporation, and now Feng Corporation—both ruined because of Lin Li's own mistakes, shattering his carefully laid plans.
A surge of unprecedented resentment toward Lin Li rose in Lin Chang's heart.
"Yaya, let's go."
Feng Weimin took Feng Yaya's hand and prepared to leave.
Before departing, Feng Yaya glanced at Lin Xuan several times.
She was determined to investigate whether this Lin Xuan was the boy who had often comforted her in her childhood.
Lin Chang took several deep breaths to steady himself.
Picking up the microphone, he announced, "Ladies and gentlemen, my sincerest apologies. Due to unforeseen circumstances, today's wedding is canceled. Please exit in an orderly manner."
The host adjusted his thick wig.
Though the wedding had descended into chaos, he couldn't deny that the drama had been deliciously entertaining.
No regrets here.
Su Hua also rose from her seat. As she passed Lin Xuan, her crimson lips curled into a teasing smirk.
"Master Lin, I’ll be taking my leave now. Remember—you owe your girlfriend an explanation about Feng Yaya."
Lin Xuan: "..."
Ah—his kidneys!
Wasn’t this just an undeserved disaster?
As the guests filed out, Lin Xuan remained seated, unmoving.
Lin Qingwan had just landed when she received Lin Qingyan’s frantic messages about Lin Li’s situation and rushed to the scene.
She spotted Su Hua getting into a car.
Frowning, she thought, Isn’t that the woman who’s been keeping Xuan? Why is she here?
But she didn’t dwell on it. Worried about Lin Li, she hurried into the hotel lobby.
Lin Li’s icy glare was fixed on Lin Xuan.
"Lin Xuan, was this your doing?"
"Did you orchestrate all of this?"
Lin Xuan chuckled leisurely as he stood up. At the same time, he ordered his subordinates to shut off all surveillance in the lobby—just in case Lin Li tried to pin some privacy or defamation charge on him.
[Master Lin, the surveillance has been disabled as you requested.] Lin Xuan’s subordinate reported.
[Good.]
Putting away his phone, Lin Xuan smiled and admitted without hesitation, "Yes, it was me."
Lin Qingwan, who had just entered, froze upon hearing his words.
Lin Qingyan and Lin Qingxiu had always looked up to their eldest sister, Lin Qingwan, as their pillar of support.
Faced with this situation, they were at a loss.
Spotting Lin Qingwan, they rushed to her side.
"Big sister," they called out anxiously, "What should we do now?"
Both Lin Xuan and Lin Li were their brothers—flesh and blood. They didn’t know whose side to take.
While Lin Xuan had only exposed the truth, it would severely damage Lin Li’s reputation and his marriage prospects.
Yet, on second thought, given how they had treated Lin Xuan before, it was only natural for him to retaliate against the Lin family.
"I don’t know either," Lin Qingwan murmured, her lips pressed tightly together.
Her mind was a jumbled mess.
She had no solution to this crisis. All she could do was watch helplessly as Lin Xuan targeted Lin Li and the rest of the family.
Just like at Lin Li’s birthday banquet, she had been powerless against Lin Xuan then too.
"Last time, after I beat Lin Li up and discovered he’d been castrated, I made sure to take photos and videos," Lin Xuan said with a smirk.
At the mention of the footage, Lin Li clenched his fists. "Lin Xuan, how do you still have those?!"
He had sent people to steal Lin Xuan’s phone and destroy all the evidence.
How could Lin Xuan still possess them?
"Lin Li, did you really think I wouldn’t anticipate you going after my phone?" Lin Xuan raised an eyebrow. "I know you too well. I prepared a decoy phone just for you to steal."
"I wanted you to let your guard down so I could give you a proper surprise at the banquet."
Lin Xuan grinned. "After all, I wanted to gift you something memorable for your birthday. And here it is."
"Lin Xuan!"
"How dare you scheme against me like this?!"
Lin Li’s face twisted with fury. He pointed accusingly at Lin Xuan, his usual gentle, brotherly facade crumbling before the Lin family.
His expression was so contorted it looked like he wanted to devour Lin Xuan whole.
The three Lin sisters stared at Lin Li in shock.
"Lin Xuan," Lin Li sneered, "Don’t think exposing me as a eunuch will get you back into the Lin family. It’s never happening."
"None of them will ever accept you again. To them, I’m the only son that matters!"
"Lin Li," Lin Xuan retorted mockingly, "Are you sure you want your dear parents and sisters to see this side of you?"
His words snapped Lin Li back to reality.
His face stiffened as he slowly turned to see the stunned expressions of his family.
No.
He couldn’t let them see his true nature.
He couldn’t afford to lose their favor.
Lin Li dropped to his knees, clutching his head as tears streamed down his face.
Jiang Shuqin couldn’t bear it and rushed to his side.
"Li, are you alright?" she asked worriedly.
"Mom," Lin Li looked up, his voice choked with sobs, "Did I seem terrifying just now?"
Jiang Shuqin hesitated.
Her son’s outburst had indeed been unsettling, reminiscent of the villains in the dramas she watched.
Even she had been frightened.
"I’m sorry, Mom. I couldn’t control myself. I really couldn’t," Lin Li said, pounding his fists against his head.
"Ever since I was... mutilated, I’ve been in agony. I’ve had to hide it, terrified of people’s pity, terrified that you, Dad, and my sisters would reject me if you knew."
"I thought I could keep it hidden forever. But then my brother exposed me to the entire nation. How am I supposed to live with this shame?"
"That’s why I lost control."
Lin Qingwan, Lin Qingyan, and Lin Qingxiu couldn’t help but feel a pang of sympathy.
It was true—being rendered a eunuch was a devastating blow. And now, with the whole country knowing, it was no wonder Lin Li had snapped.
"Brother." Lin Li raised his bloodshot eyes to meet Lin Xuan's gaze. "Why are you doing this to me? We've been brothers for over a decade. No matter how much you resent me, wasn't exposing that video of me and Qin Ruoyao at my birthday banquet enough to satisfy your anger?"
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)
