The driver glanced at the car and frowned tightly.
The car had been quiet for so long. Could it be that the Miss and Young Master Lin were simply talking inside the car and not doing anything else?
In the hotel banquet hall,
Grandpa Jiang held the microphone and said apologetically, "Sorry, everyone. I've made you witness a farce today. The family - recognition banquet is canceled, but the banquet will continue. Enjoy yourselves."
The Jiang family was wealthy and powerful. Not many people dared to offend them, let alone laugh at them.
They no longer mentioned the family - recognition matter and continued to chat with other company bosses.
Jiang Yutong had been looking for Lin Xuan's figure.
She frowned tightly. "Where's Xiaoxuan?"
Jiang Manting's delicate eyebrows were also tightly knitted.
It was very likely that Lin Xuan had arranged all this today. That is to say, Lin Xuan had known he was the Jiang family's grandson for a long time.
But he didn't say it earlier. Did he mind the Jiang family's mistake of recognizing the wrong grandson?
"Eldest sister, have you seen Xiaoxuan?" Jiang Yutong asked.
"No," Jiang Manting shook her head.
After just dealing with Lin Li's matter, she had also been looking for Lin Xuan.
She hadn't seen Lin Xuan either.
A guest heard Jiang Yutong looking for Lin Xuan and replied, "Second Miss Jiang, I just saw Lin Xuan leave."
"Left?"
Jiang Yutong was stunned.
The guest nodded. "Yes, he left a long time ago. It seemed that he left when Lin Li was still begging for mercy."
"Maybe Lin Xuan is still outside the hotel," Jiang Yutong murmured. "No, I have to go find him."
Jiang Yutong lifted the hem of her evening dress and rushed out in a hurry.
She saw a Rolls - Royce with a very flamboyant license plate number 888888 parked right in front of the hotel.
Jiang Yutong recognized that this car belonged to Lin Xuan.
And the butler who was with Lin Xuan was standing beside the car.
Her heart skipped a beat with joy.
Great!
Lin Xuan hadn't left.
Jiang Yutong wanted to step forward and knock on the car door.
Butler Wang stopped her.
"Second Miss Jiang, do you have something to do?"
Jiang Yutong said quickly, "I want to find Lin Xuan."
Butler Wang replied politely, "Sorry, Second Miss Jiang. Our young master is not available to see you now."
The young master was still accompanying their Miss. How could he have the time to see other women?
"But..."
Jiang Yutong was a little anxious.
She had always been eager to have Lin Xuan as her younger brother. Now that she knew Lin Xuan was her younger brother and also her first - cousin!
She couldn't wait to recognize him.
Inside the car,
Su Hua noticed Jiang Yutong.
"Axuan,"
Su Hua straddled Lin Xuan's body, holding his face in her hands. "Jiang Yutong is here to see you. Do you want to meet your biological cousin?"
"Don't worry about her for now."
"Huabao, let's continue."
Lin Xuan was so enticed by Su Hua that he didn't want to pay attention to others for the moment.
Su Hua did get off Lin Xuan's body.
She tidied up his clothes for him.
"Axuan, this is your biological cousin. You should meet her."
Lin Xuan gave Su Hua a resentful look.
He seriously suspected that Huabao was doing it on purpose.
On purpose to find an excuse not to relieve his desire.
Now Huabao was getting more and more naughty. She always aroused his desire but didn't satisfy him.
"Butler Wang, let her come over," Su Hua rolled down the window a little and ordered.
"Yes, Miss."
Butler Wang stepped aside.
Jiang Yutong immediately stepped forward.
"Xiaoxuan," Jiang Yutong's face was full of excitement. "It's really great that my cousin is you, not Lin Li."
The fire in Lin Xuan's heart hadn't subsided.
At this moment, he looked very unhappy.
And the culprit, Su Hua, was leaning against his chest, idly playing with his fingers.
"So what?" Lin Xuan asked expressionlessly.
"Xiaoxuan," Jiang Yutong always felt that Lin Xuan's attitude was not right. There was a bit of uneasiness in her voice. "Why did you leave so soon? Why didn't you stay for dinner?"
Lin Xuan said calmly, "Sorry, Second Miss Jiang. I have no intention of recognizing my sister or my grandfather."
"Even if they are my biological cousin and grandfather."
In his second life, he no longer needed this kind of family affection.
He only wanted Huabao.
So he didn't care whether he had blood relations with the Jiang family or not. If it weren't for preventing Lin Li from relying on the Jiang family, he wouldn't have revealed to the Jiang family that he was the real grandson of the Jiang family at all.
Leaning on Lin Xuan's chest, Su Hua heard what Lin Xuan said, and the corners of her lips curled up slightly.
It seemed that Axuan wanted to draw a clear line from the Jiang family.
This was great.
In this way, no one would come to snatch Axuan from her.
Jiang Yutong looked at Lin Xuan's cold expression, and uneasiness welled up in her heart.
Xiaoxuan really seemed to resist their family affection. Why was this happening?
Jiang Manting and Grandpa Jiang also came out.
"Xiaoxuan," Grandpa Jiang said apologetically. "I'm really sorry. It was my mistake to recognize the wrong person."
Grandpa Jiang felt very kind towards Lin Xuan at first sight.
It had nothing to do with whether he was Jiang Shuqin's son. He really liked this boy Xiaoxuan.
After knowing that Xiaoxuan was his real grandson, he was very excited.
Lin Xuan said coldly, "I don't blame you for recognizing the wrong person."
After all, he didn't care about this family affection, so he naturally didn't care whether they recognized the wrong person or not.
"Old Jiang, Eldest Miss Jiang, Second Miss Jiang, I can have contact with you, like friends, but there's no need for family recognition," Lin Xuan said.
"Axuan, let's go back now," Su Hua said coquettishly.
"Okay, I'll do whatever you say," Lin Xuan replied indulgently.
The driver drove the car away.
Grandpa Jiang heard Su Hua's voice, was stunned, and frowned tightly.
Why did he always feel that this woman's voice was very familiar, as if he had heard it somewhere?
"Tongtong, you often have contact with Xiaoxuan. Do you know who the woman in his car is?"
Jiang Yutong recalled, "I only know that she is Xiaoxuan's girlfriend. Xiaoxuan is very affectionate with her. I don't know anything else."
"Grandpa, what's wrong?"
Grandpa Jiang shook his head. "It's okay."
There couldn't be such a coincidence in the world.
"Grandpa," Jiang Yutong looked worried. "Why do I always feel that Xiaoxuan resists this family affection? He seems very reluctant to recognize us."
Grandpa Jiang said, "I guess he encountered something in the Lin family, so he is more resistant to family affection. Tingting, go and investigate. Find out what exactly happened between Lin Xuan and the Lin family."
"Okay, I'll send someone to investigate right away," Jiang Manting nodded.
Not far away, Old Master Su walked over with a smile. "Well, Old Man Jiang, your real grandson didn't recognize you. Do you feel very painful?"
Old Jiang glared at Old Master Su. "Why are you everywhere?"
Old Master Su replied with a smile, "I'm just passing by."
He thought Xiaoxuan would recognize this old man, so he came to have a look. Unexpectedly, Xiaoxuan didn't even think about recognizing him.
Not bad, not bad. It could really piss off this Old Man Jiang.
Good night, good night.
Thank you, babies like Little Panda 06, for your gifts.

nd fell into a coma while saving his younger sister from an out-of-control car. He became a vegetable. No one knew that his consciousness had crossed into a world of cultivation. Over the course of sixty years, he began as the lowest kind of mine slave, struggling to survive amid mountains of corpses and seas of blood. By sheer chance, he eventually obtained the complete memories of a fallen Immortal King. Alchemy, medicine, formations, feng shui, physiognomy, artifact forging… Every great inheritance of the cultivation world was now his. But when he opened his eyes again, he discovered that ten full years had passed in the modern world. To pay for his treatment, his father had sold the family’s shop and house, leaving himself covered in lasting injuries and illness. His mother had cared for him day and night, and more than half of her hair had already turned white. His younger sister, who had been only fifteen back then, was now twenty-five. To help repay the family’s debts, she had been forced to lower her head and put on a smiling face in places of glittering lights and endless revelry. Only then did Chen Xuan understand that what he had lost was not merely ten years. He had lost the life his entire family was meant to have. The good news was that he had brought back the memories of an Immortal King’s entire lifetime. The bad news was that his soul had returned alone—his cultivation had not come with him. Spiritual energy was scarce, resources were depleted, and the modern world still had firearms, surveillance, capital, and laws. If he wanted to protect his family, break free from everyone’s control, and become truly invincible beneath the heavens, he would have to start all over again.
