Lin Xuan said coldly, "No. It doesn’t matter who it is—I don’t want anything to do with anyone from the Lin Family."
Now, the three Lin sisters would regret everything after reading those diaries.
But what about the pain he suffered in his past life? Could that just be erased so easily?
If in this life, he acted the same as before—giving his all to the Lin Family, never leaving—the three Lin sisters would likely take his sacrifices for granted, treating him with the same coldness and verbal abuse as always.
After speaking, Lin Xuan smiled lightly. "If I were going back to the Lin Family, why would I have bankrupted them? Don’t you think so, Second Miss Jiang?"
"...You’re right," Jiang Yutong replied with difficulty.
Her heart ached as she looked at Lin Xuan.
His attitude toward the Lin Family was so indifferent.
Perhaps the wounds they had inflicted on him ran far deeper than what their investigation had uncovered…
Jiang Yutong’s heart swelled with pity for him.
Meanwhile, Lei Hui had brought Su Hua to the door of the meeting room.
"President Su, our boss is inside."
Su Hua suddenly asked, "Are they alone together?"
"Yes," Lei Hui nodded. "Second Miss Jiang came to our company by herself. The boss doesn’t like being followed, and since their discussion seemed private, we didn’t dare interrupt."
Wait—
President Su had just asked if the boss and Second Miss Jiang were alone together. Did that mean… she was jealous?
"President Su," Lei Hui couldn’t help but ask, "Do you know the relationship between our boss and Second Miss Jiang?"
Su Hua glanced at him and answered, "Yes. Jiang Shuqin and Jiang Yutong’s father are siblings."
So she knew.
Lei Hui sighed in relief.
If President Su knew they were cousins by blood, then she couldn’t possibly be jealous.
He must have misread the situation earlier.
At that moment, a cold glint flickered in Su Hua’s eyes.
So what if they were blood-related cousins?
In modern society, there were plenty of cousins who dated—even married.
Besides, Jiang Yutong had been looking at her A-Xuan with the wrong kind of gaze for a long time now…
No one would take A-Xuan from her. Not even the Jiang Family.
Lei Hui knocked on the door.
From inside, Lin Xuan’s voice responded, "Come in."
As the door opened, Lin Xuan immediately spotted Su Hua standing outside.
"Hua Bao, what are you doing here?" Lin Xuan asked, surprised.
He strode over to her.
"Didn’t you go to the company?"
Su Hua replied, "There’s a collaboration between Su Corporation and your company. I came to discuss it. Since there’s nothing urgent at Su Corporation right now, and you were here, I thought I’d drop by."
Jiang Qing looked up at the ceiling.
President Su… are you sure there’s nothing going on at the company?
Lei Hui nodded. "Boss, we do have a collaboration with Su Corporation."
But President Su wasn’t exactly here just for business.
What kind of executive signs a contract without even reviewing it first?
Lin Xuan studied Su Hua’s expression.
Given the current scope of Tianmu Group’s operations, any collaboration with Su Corporation wouldn’t be particularly large-scale.
A minor deal like this didn’t require the CEO of Su Corporation to personally handle negotiations.
Hua Bao had definitely come here just to see him.
Using the collaboration as an excuse.
Lin Xuan didn’t call her out on it.
"Hua Bao, come sit for a while." He took her hand and led her to the sofa beside him.
Su Hua glanced at Jiang Yutong.
Noticing her gaze, Jiang Yutong belatedly realized something.
Why does my little cousin’s girlfriend look at me like that?
Does she think I have feelings for him?
Does she not know who I am?
This misunderstanding couldn’t stand.
It was obvious how much Lin Xuan adored his girlfriend. If she got the wrong idea and tried to keep Jiang Yutong away from him, it would only make things harder.
Lin Xuan already refused to acknowledge her because of the Lin Family’s actions. If his girlfriend added to the resistance, her chances of reconnecting with him would shrink even further.
Thinking fast, Jiang Yutong stood up and approached Su Hua.
"Miss Su, hello. I haven’t properly introduced myself yet."
"My name is Jiang Yutong, Second Young Miss of the Jiang Family and Jiang Corporation. Funny enough, I only recently found out that my father and Lin Xuan’s birth mother were siblings. Though due to certain circumstances, she cut ties with the Jiang Family."
She smiled. "So Lin Xuan and I are blood-related cousins." She emphasized the words blood-related cousins heavily.
So please, Miss Su, don’t misunderstand—I don’t have romantic feelings for him.
From start to finish, her only goal had been to bring him home as her little brother.
Jiang Yutong extended a friendly hand. "Miss Su, it’s a pleasure to meet you."
She subtly observed Su Hua.
Even if she had business dealings with Lin Xuan, chances to get close to him were rare.
But if she could take a roundabout approach—befriending his girlfriend first—wouldn’t it be much easier to build a relationship with him?
Su Hua’s gaze swept indifferently over Jiang Yutong’s outstretched hand.
She made no move to shake it.
"Second Miss Jiang, I’m aware of your identity," Su Hua said coolly. "A-Xuan has told me everything. And… he’s also made it clear he has no intention of returning to your Jiang Family."
Jiang Yutong awkwardly withdrew her hand.
Her brows furrowed slightly.
Somehow, Lin Xuan’s girlfriend seems even harder to approach than he is.
At a loss for how to respond, Jiang Yutong fell silent.
Lin Xuan spoke up. "Second Miss Jiang, is there anything else regarding company matters?"
Jiang Yutong shook her head. "No."
"Then if you’ll excuse me, I have other matters to attend to." Lin Xuan said.
Su Hua could tell he genuinely didn’t want to linger with Jiang Yutong.
A trace of satisfaction flickered in her eyes.
A-Xuan is being very obedient.
Just as Lin Xuan was about to lead Su Hua away, Jiang Yutong hurriedly stood.
"Lin Xuan!"
He paused and turned, frowning. "Second Miss Jiang, was there something else?"
Jiang Yutong asked nervously, "Would you… like to come to my house for dinner tonight?"
Lin Xuan declined. "No need. Our chef has already prepared dinner."
It was clear he still wanted to keep his distance from the Jiang Family.
She couldn’t rush this.
She had to take it step by step.
"Alright then," Jiang Yutong conceded. "Next time, perhaps."

lan, the Luo family, tracked him down - along with the babies in their arms. Mo Xuan stared pensively at the paternity test results from over a dozen top institutions, both domestic and international, showing a 99.99% match between himself and the two baby girls. At 23, Mo Xuan, a doctoral student, had become the father of two three-year-old children. The kicker? The mothers weren't even the same person! He gradually realized he was being lured step by step into an elaborate trap designed by these two yandere sisters. "Be good, little Xuan. Sister's life belongs to you entirely." "Brother, if you try to run away, I'll have no choice but to tie you up." Mo Xuan: "Do whatever you want, ladies. I give up."

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.
young master of the Shen family—a figure of immense power and wealth beyond measure—and awakened the "Destined Ultimate Villain System"! His starting scenario? Running into his icy fiancée who shows up with a mountain-descending divine doctor to break off their engagement. The divine doctor arrogantly taunts: "What does your Shen family have besides a bit of stinking money? You're not even worthy of tying Qingxue's shoelaces!" Shen Fei just smiled. He completely defied the usual script: "Fine, I agree to break off the engagement. Also, notify the finance department to withdraw all investments from the Su family." Minutes later, with its capital chain severed, the Su Group teetered on the brink of bankruptcy! The once aloof and proud ice queen CEO was thrown into utter panic. That very night, she went to Shen Fei's villa, casting aside all dignity to beg and plead desperately... From then on, in this world teeming with Sons of Destiny, Shen Fei embarked on a path of extreme dimensional suppression! A mountain-descending divine doctor? Peerless medical skills? Shen Fei: "Reporting you for practicing medicine without a license! I'll gladly take your ancient medicinal cauldron and twin sister assassins." The Crooked-Smiling Dragon King? Commanding a hundred thousand soldiers with a single order? Shen Fei: "Illegal assembly and suspected treason! Let a fleet of attack helicopters sanitize the area and teach you what the state apparatus really means!" A reborn tycoon? Knows all the golden opportunities of the next decade? Shen Fei: "A trillion in capital to reverse and pump the stock market, making you blow your margin and jump on the very first day of your rebirth!" What Chosen Ones? What bearers of Heavenly Fortune? In Shen Fei's eyes, they're all just chives (i.e., suckers/marks) waiting to be harvested! Shen Fei: "Sorry, but as the Destined Ultimate Villain, I don't play by the rules of honor. I only play the game of dimensional suppression."
