Lin Xuan stood to the side, ready to enjoy the show.
"Miss, this gentleman has purchased a pair of rings, totaling ninety million," the sales assistant said with a polite smile.
Lin Qingwan's expression froze.
"What? Ninety million?" Lin Qingxiu exclaimed, her eyes widening in shock.
Ninety million for a pair of rings!
Her most expensive piece of jewelry was only worth a few million, yet Lin Xuan had the audacity to demand something close to a hundred million!
"Miss, would you like to pay by card?" the sales assistant asked, maintaining her smile.
Lin Qingwan tightened her grip on her Chanel bag.
She had thought Lin Xuan was only spending a little over a million, but it turned out to be ninety million... She currently only had three billion on her.
Lin Xuan was still young, and she worried that he might be going down a path of reckless extravagance.
"Lin Xuan, why are you spending so much money?" Lin Qingwan frowned, her tone disapproving.
"Miss Lin, is that any of your business?" Lin Xuan raised an eyebrow.
"Lin Xuan," Lin Qingxiu lifted her chin haughtily, "why don't you pick something cheaper? Maybe big sister will even gift it to you. I suggest you stop trying to act rich when you're not."
Lin Xuan calmly took out his card and handed it to the sales assistant. "Charge it."
"Certainly."
The sales assistant brought over the card reader.
Lin Qingxiu was ready to see Lin Xuan fail. She didn’t believe he could actually afford it.
Lin Xuan entered his PIN.
"Payment successful," the card reader announced in a cold, mechanical voice.
"What?!"
Lin Qingxiu's eyes widened in disbelief. She shook her head, "No way. How could Lin Xuan possibly have that much money? There must be some mistake."
"Lin Xuan, where did you get so much money?" Lin Qingwan suddenly recalled what Lin Li had mentioned at the wedding ceremony—a woman had taken Lin Xuan away.
Thinking of this, Lin Qingwan's expression darkened. "Lin Xuan, don’t tell me you’ve really been kept by a woman? You’re a member of the Lin family. You can’t lower yourself to being someone’s lover. Listen to me, come back to the Lin family. You can still live a life of luxury there."
The onlookers were stunned.
What kind of logic was this? Just because her brother had money, she assumed he was being kept?
Couldn’t it just be a girlfriend?
Even if the money came from his girlfriend, isn’t it normal for a girlfriend to spend money on her boyfriend?
"Miss Lin, are you talking about the luxurious life where I was given three hundred yuan a month from middle school to university, eating leftovers every day, and living in the servants' quarters?" Lin Xuan smirked sarcastically.
Holy crap!
The bystanders were shocked once again.
Judging by the sisters' attire, they seemed wealthy, yet their brother lived a life worse than that of an ordinary family...
No wonder this man treated his sisters so harshly.
"What kind of family is this? No wonder that girl has such poor manners."
"From their conversation, it seems this young man has left his birth family. Good for him, good for him. A family like that isn’t worth staying in."
Lin Qingxiu bit her lip, resentment bubbling up inside her.
Lin Xuan had humiliated them, his sisters, in public.
Lin Qingwan’s expression also stiffened.
"Lin Xuan, I’m sorry. I neglected you in the past. Will you come back? I’ll make it up to you," Lin Qingwan said, her eyes reddening.
Lin Xuan: "Come back? Sure."
"Lin Xuan, you’re really willing to return?" Lin Qingwan’s eyes lit up.
"If I’m to return, Lin Li must be kicked out of the Lin family," Lin Xuan said nonchalantly. "I can’t stand him."
Of course, even if Lin Li were to leave, he had no intention of returning.
The Lin family disgusted him.
"Lin Xuan, can’t you just get along with Lin Li?" Lin Qingwan frowned.
"If you’re not willing to kick him out, then stop yapping in front of me."
Lin Xuan grabbed the rings and left.
He had more important things to attend to and no time to waste with them.
Lin Xuan walked into a cake shop. He planned to make a new cake for Su Hua. The shop was located in a relatively secluded area.
Several men in black suits quietly approached the cake shop, pretending to browse outside.
Su Hua’s bodyguards noticed them.
One of the men was even recognized by Su Hua’s people. They quickly took action, apprehending the men and bringing them before Su Hua.
In the living room of the Night Garden.
A stunning woman, her hair pinned up with a delicate hairpin, sat gracefully on the sofa in an elegant white cheongsam, her figure alluring and captivating.
Su Hua gently swirled the glass of red wine in her hand, her cool gaze sweeping over the three men kneeling on the floor.
"Aren’t these Second Uncle’s men? Why have they been brought here?" Su Hua leaned back lazily on the sofa, her tone indifferent.
To her, these men were nothing more than ants, unworthy of her emotional investment.
"Madam, they were following Young Master Lin. I suspect they intended to harm him," the bodyguard replied respectfully.
Su Hua’s eyes narrowed dangerously.
"What were you planning to do to him?" Su Hua’s voice was icy.
The kneeling men trembled slightly.
"Hmph," Su Hua chuckled softly. "If you won’t talk, then send them to the Snake Pit."
The Snake Pit?
The men’s eyes widened in terror.
They had heard of the Snake Pit—a place filled with thousands of snakes, crammed into a four-square-meter space. The snakes were mostly small and non-venomous, but they were starved for days.
Anyone thrown in would be swarmed by the ravenous snakes, their flesh devoured as they died in terror.
It was horrifying...
The bodyguards began to drag the men away.
"I’ll talk, I’ll talk!" one of the men screamed in fear.
They were thrown back in front of Su Hua.
"Miss, he said that Lin Xuan is someone you care about. He planned to capture Lin Xuan and use him to threaten you. If you didn’t comply, he would torture Lin Xuan to death, causing you pain," the man stammered.
"My dear Second Uncle is really misbehaving," Su Hua said with a gentle smile, though her voice carried a bone-chilling coldness. "Since he’s being so naughty, there’s no need to keep him around."
fe full of thrilling battles, ultimately sacrificing himself to protect his homeland and its people. Unexpectedly, he was reborn into his youth, where he encountered the campus ice queen, Ye Miyue, now working as a masseuse at his family's martial arts school. "How long have you been doing this?" "I-it's my first time..." the campus belle murmured, her head bowed. Wang Xian remembered clearly that back then, although Ye Miyue had not yet awakened her martial arts talent, her outstanding academic performance, breathtaking beauty, and icy demeanor had made her the moon goddess of every boy in school. He was no exception. In his previous life, they had no connection, never imagining they would meet under such circumstances. Sadly, today the city was attacked by an S-class beast, the 'Wind King Falcon,' destroying nearly half of the city streets. Ye Miyue had died on her way home during this disaster. Now, given a second chance, facing the campus goddess of his youth, Wang Xian resolutely decided to extend her session! And so. "My hands are tired..." the blushing campus belle whispered, relieved. Wang Xian pointed to her slender calves and said, "Who said only hands can massage? There are feet too!" "Extend the session, continue!"
iving with nine beautiful women. [Ding! Welcome back to the Joyous Sect, Host…] Lin Yu: ??? I’m clearly in a shared rental, but you’re saying I’m in the Joyous Sect?

saw a female celebrity tied up and stuffed in the trunk! Little did he know, countless cameras were aimed at him at this moment - this was a new type of reality show. The first randomly selected passerby was caught in less than an hour. But when Xu Moru was selected, things started to take an unexpected turn. "Damn, this isn't how the script goes. This Xu Moru is too bold, he's not following the rules at all." "Crap, is this guy taking it seriously?" "The female celebrity has been scared to tears!"
m back to his original world. In the end, he realized he had overthought things. [Hey, why is Shen Manni, the female lead, acting strange? Shouldn't she be fawning over the male lead at this point?] [Zhou Qiaoqiao, are you sick? Weren't you supposed to break off your engagement today?] [Damn it! An Youyi, please do your job as an undercover agent and sell my information to the protagonist, you idiot!] ... At this moment, Xu Mo himself didn't know that these female leads had already heard his inner thoughts. Then they decided not to play by the rules. Xu Mo: Please respect my profession as the big villain!
