"What?" Xu Xiaoman's eyes widened in disbelief.
Her sister had actually gifted him so many luxury cars!
Before this, she had begged and pleaded for her sister to give her just one car, but her sister had flatly refused. Normally, her sister would only send someone to check on her occasionally—she never gave her any money.
And now, she had given Lin Xuan, that pretty-faced freeloader, over a dozen luxury cars!
No wonder the garage was filled with cars worth tens of millions, even hundreds of millions.
In her memory, her sister had never been obsessed with cars—she usually drove ones worth a few million at most.
When Xu Xiaoman first saw those luxury cars, she thought her sister had simply changed her tastes. But no—those cars were all gifts for that freeloader!
Jealousy burned in Xu Xiaoman's eyes.
Lin Xuan raised an eyebrow and casually pulled out a card, twirling it between his fingers. "Do you know what this is?"
"A black card!" Xu Xiaoman's eyes bulged like saucers.
How did Lin Xuan get his hands on this?
"Where did you get that card?"
Lin Xuan leisurely enjoyed the shock on her face before answering, "This black card’s supplementary card was given to me by Hua. No spending limit—I can use as much as I want."
He then pulled out another card. "And this bank card? A hundred billion. Pocket money from Hua."
Xu Xiaoman’s mind buzzed with fury.
She knew her sister spoiled Lin Xuan, and she knew the sums involved wouldn’t be small. But she never imagined—
A hundred billion! Countless luxury cars! Even a supplementary black card!
"So, Miss Xu," Lin Xuan smirked, "your seventy million? To me, it’s practically charity."
Butler Wang arched a brow.
Wasn’t this just twisting the knife?
Lin Xuan really had a way of infuriating people without lifting a finger.
A glance at Xu Xiaoman’s face confirmed it—her expression was a storm of emotions.
"Lin Xuan," she hissed through gritted teeth, "what kind of tricks did you use to make my sister spend so much on you?"
"Tricks?"
Lin Xuan chuckled darkly. "I stole Hua’s heart. As long as she loves me, she’ll spend whatever she wants."
"Miss Xu, I’m your sister’s boyfriend. Soon, I’ll be her husband. You can call me… brother-in-law."
Right now, to Xu Xiaoman, Lin Xuan looked like the smuggest, most insufferable man alive.
"You!" She pointed at him, trembling with rage. "You’re not married to my sister yet! Who do you think you are, demanding I call you brother-in-law?!"
"Lin Xuan, don’t get too cocky. A man like you? Sooner or later, my sister will dump you!"
Butler Wang and the servants exchanged glances.
Would Miss Su really dump Lin Xuan?
Not in this lifetime.
Lin Xuan smiled lazily. "Then keep waiting."
His expression suddenly turned icy. "Xu Xiaoman, as long as I’m alive, Hua will be mine. If you’re dreaming of Huo Shen as your brother-in-law—that will never happen."
Xu Xiaoman clenched her fists.
So this freeloader really planned to cling to her sister forever.
Fine. She’d teach him a lesson he wouldn’t forget!
With a dark expression, she stormed back to her car. Moments later, she returned, gripping an ornate whip, her face thunderous.
A servant rushed to alert Butler Wang and Lin Xuan.
"Mr. Lin, Butler Wang, Miss Xu hasn’t left—she’s coming back with a whip!" the servant panted.
Butler Wang frowned. "The second miss has always been spoiled and reckless. If she’s bringing that whip, she means to harm Mr. Lin. We can’t allow it."
If Lin Xuan got hurt, Miss Su would be heartbroken—and Butler Wang would pay dearly for failing to protect him.
"Stop her. Send her away," he ordered firmly.
They also needed to inform Miss Su immediately.
"No need." Lin Xuan smirked. "If she wants a fight, let her come."
"But Mr. Lin, Xu Xiaoman has trained in martial arts since childhood. She’s highly skilled," Butler Wang warned.
After the way Lin Xuan had provoked her, she wouldn’t hold back.
"Relax. She can’t touch me," Lin Xuan said coolly.
"But—"
Lin Xuan cut him off with a smile. "Butler Wang, I’m not some helpless pushover. Besides, I have all of you to protect me, don’t I?"
Seeing his resolve, Butler Wang reluctantly agreed. "Very well."
"And don’t tell Hua about this," Lin Xuan added.
He wanted to handle Xu Xiaoman himself. If Hua got involved, the fun would be ruined.
"Yes," Butler Wang sighed.
Lin Xuan calmly sipped his tea.
Soon, Xu Xiaoman barged in, whip in hand.
Lin Xuan glanced at her, then set down his cup. "Miss Xu, here to settle the score?"
"That’s right. Today, I’ll teach a certain freeloader a lesson—for my future brother-in-law’s sake!" she spat.
Lin Xuan’s eyes turned frosty.
So she was still dead set on having Huo Shen as her brother-in-law.
"Aren’t you afraid Hua will retaliate if you hurt me?" he taunted.
"I’m her half-sister by blood! She’s always treated me well. You really think she’d choose you over family? Don’t make me laugh!" Xu Xiaoman sneered.
At worst, her sister would scold her. No big deal.
Butler Wang shook his head.
The second miss overestimated her importance.
All these years, Miss Su had only looked after her out of duty to their mother.
In Miss Su’s heart? Xu Xiaoman wasn’t worth a single strand of Lin Xuan’s hair.
Lin Xuan laughed coldly. "So sure Hua will side with you, Miss Xu?"
Only now did Xu Xiaoman notice how Lin Xuan referred to Su Hua—Hua.
That freeloader dared to call her sister something so intimate!
Her sister, a woman of such stature, reduced to a cutesy pet name!
Xu Xiaoman nearly exploded.
"Who she’ll side with? Let’s find out!" she snapped.
The moment Xu Xiaoman entered, Butler Wang had summoned the estate’s bodyguards.
Ten of them now stood around Lin Xuan and Xu Xiaoman, watching closely.
If Xu Xiaoman made a move, they’d intervene instantly.
What did the second miss matter?
Protecting Lin Xuan was their top priority.
Thank you for your comfort, everyone.

Su Bai smirked—cash was the one thing he’d never run out of. Years later, when people traced the rise of the AI prodigy beauty, who was the man behind her success? Not just that—Su Bai also became the tsundere campus belle’s unattainable dream, the contrast senior’s daily necessity, and the beautiful counselor’s emotional anchor…
to panic—he has a system. As long as an investment target dies, he can claim a reward. And since he is immortal, the one thing he has plenty of is time. ... Countless years later. “Immortal Emperor of Longevity? I invested in him.” “Supreme Celestial Venerable? I invested in him.” “Undying Empress? I invested in her.” “...” “Heh.

e bizarre and supernatural had descended. The previous emperor was a thoroughgoing tyrant; no longer satisfied with human women, he had set his sights on a stunningly beautiful supernatural entity. He met his end in his bedchamber, drained of all his vital essence. As the legitimate eldest son and crown prince, Wang Hao was thus hastily enthroned, becoming the young emperor of the Great Zhou Dynasty. No sooner had he awakened the "Imperial Sign-In Intelligence System" than he was assassinated by a Son of Destiny—a classic villain's opening. The Great Zhou, ravaged by the former emperor's excesses, was in national decline. The great families within its borders harbored their own treacherous schemes, martial sects began to defy the imperial court's decrees, and border armies, their pay and provisions in arrears, grumbled incessantly against the central government. Fortunately, the central capital was still held secure by the half-million Imperial Guards and fifty thousand Imperial Forest Army who obeyed the court's orders, along with the royal family's hidden reserves of power, barely managing to suppress the realm. As the Great Zhou's finances worsened and supernatural activities grew ever more frequent, the court sat atop a volcano. Ambitious plotters everywhere dreamed of overthrowing the dynasty, and even some reclusive ancient powers emerged, attempting to sway the tides of the world. At the first grand court assembly, the civil and military officials nearly came to blows, fighting tooth and nail over the allocation of fifty million taels of silver from the summer tax revenues. The spectacle opened Wang Hao's eyes—the Great Zhou's bureaucracy was not only corrupt but also martially proficient, a cabinet of all-rounders. Some officials even had the audacity to suggest the emperor release funds from the imperial privy purse to address the emergency. Wang Hao suddenly felt weary. Let it all burn.
Cheng's father told him he was getting remarried—to a wealthy woman. Cao Cheng realized his time had finally come: he was about to become a second-generation rich kid. Sure, it might be a watered-down version, but hey, at least he'd have status now, right? The wealthy woman also had four daughters!! Which meant, starting today, Cao Cheng gained four stunning older sisters?? But that wasn't even the whole story... "My name is Cao Cheng—'Cheng' as in 'honest, smooth-talking gentleman'!"
