The secretary's joyful heart was doused with cold water.
Thinking of something, the secretary suggested, "President Jiang, I have a way to make Young Master Lin acknowledge you."
Jiang Yutong leaned in. "What way?"
"It's..." the secretary answered mysteriously, "...to pull off a 'hero saves the beauty' act."
"Hero saves the beauty?" Jiang Yutong frowned deeply.
"No." The secretary shook her head again. "I misspoke. To be precise, it should be 'beauty saves the hero'."
"President Jiang, you can arrange for some people to confront Young Master Lin, and then you step in to rescue him. Young Master Lin is sure to be moved."
"What kind of lousy idea is that?" Jiang Yutong rolled her eyes dramatically. "Little Xuan is so clever; he would definitely see through such a setup. Once Little Xuan discovers I orchestrated it, he'll be even less likely to acknowledge us."
The secretary thought about it.
That was indeed true.
"President Jiang, I'm sorry. My thinking was off track," the secretary said apologetically.
Indeed, someone capable of developing Tianmu Group from a newly established company into a top-tier corporation in just two short years, and even bankrupting the Starlight Group which had decades of foundation—a person with such methods and ability—how could they be easily tricked by the likes of them?
"If I want Little Xuan to acknowledge me, it can only be done slowly," Jiang Yutong sighed.
"President Jiang, what about the doctor we invited to treat your grandfather? How should we arrange that? Should we cancel the invitation, or..."
"Cancel it," Jiang Yutong said.
Little Xuan's medical skills are higher than any of theirs.
If even Little Xuan has no way to treat her grandfather's illness, let alone anyone else.
Besides, those so-called masters always want to run a whole series of tests on Grandpa as soon as they arrive. That kind of ordeal would be too much for his body to bear.
Jiang Yutong left the company.
Just as she reached the underground garage, Liang Yilong appeared.
"Beautiful lady."
Liang Yilong was holding a large bouquet of red roses.
"Might I have the honor of inviting you to dinner?" Liang Yilong, dressed in a suit and tie, asked like a gentleman.
Jiang Yutong frowned and said, "I need to go home right now, Yilong. Let's schedule dinner for another day."
"What about tomorrow? We could go tomorrow," Liang Yilong said.
Jiang Yutong shook her head. "That won't work either. I have things to do tomorrow."
Little Xuan is coming to the Jiang family tomorrow. She couldn't miss this chance to spend time with him.
Moreover, she was the one who invited Little Xuan. If she wasn't there, she worried he might think she didn't value him.
Liang Yilong clenched his fists instantly.
No time for two days in a row? Was she really that busy?
"Yilong, I have something urgent to attend to at home right now. See you another day."
"Also, these flowers are beautiful. I like them. Thank you."
Jiang Yutong took the flowers and got into her car.
Liang Yilong watched Jiang Yutong's departing figure, his fists still tightly clenched.
His eyes were dark and gloomy.
Jiang Yutong clearly looked down on him! That's why she was brushing him off like this!
They had been dating for several months, yet Jiang Yutong hadn't kissed him, hadn't slept with him, and even the number of times they held hands could be counted on one hand.
He had to endure it.
But he would remember all of this clearly.
Just wait until he married Jiang Yutong and got his hands on the Jiang family's assets. Then he'd see how he treated her!
It wasn't his fault. Who asked Jiang Yutong to treat his sincere feelings this way?
Meanwhile.
Jiang Yutong returned to the Jiang residence.
Jiang Manting was in the living room chatting with Grandpa Jiang.
"Grandpa, Big Sister."
Jiang Yutong greeted them.
Jiang Manting glanced at the time on her watch and asked curiously, "Yutong, it's not off-work hours yet. Why are you back early?"
Her younger sister had been very dedicated to the company lately.
She often worked overtime.
Let alone coming home early.
"Big Sister, Grandpa," Jiang Yutong sat on the sofa and said seriously, "Little Xuan is coming to our house tomorrow afternoon."
Grandpa Jiang and Jiang Manting's eyes both lit up.
"Yutong," Jiang Manting couldn't help asking, "Is there any progress on getting Little Xuan to acknowledge you?"
"No," Jiang Yutong shook her head. "He's coming to treat Grandpa's illness. His medical skills are excellent. Both times Grandpa was in critical danger, it was Little Xuan who saved him. He probably has a way to treat Grandpa's condition."
And based on her understanding of Little Xuan during this period, he probably wouldn't do something he wasn't confident about.
Maybe last time when he treated Grandpa, he already knew the method to cure him.
Hearing Jiang Yutong's words, the light in Grandpa Jiang and Jiang Manting's eyes dimmed again.
So he was just coming to treat Grandpa.
"Grandpa, Big Sister, we don't have many chances to interact with Little Xuan. This time we must perform well and leave a good impression on him."
"Don't worry, we will," Grandpa Jiang nodded.
He dreamed of having a grandson.
It's a pity Yutong's father was useless, only having daughters.
Yutong and Manting were also delaying marriage, let alone having children.
Now that there was a ready-made grandson, how could he possibly let it go?
Once they got Little Xuan back, he would definitely show off properly to Old Man Su.
Evening.
After finishing her work, Su Hua returned to the bedroom from the study.
She was wearing a white silk nightgown.
Her soft, straight black hair fell over her chest.
Looking at her like this, Lin Xuan couldn't help but think.
Hua had always received private education.
If she had gone to school before, she probably would have been voted the aloof, pure school belle.
"What is Xuan looking at?"
Su Hua bent over, wrapped her arms around Lin Xuan's waist, and rested her chin on his shoulder.
Her warm breath brushed against Lin Xuan's neck, creating an air of intimacy.
"Nothing, I was just casually browsing the news," Lin Xuan said.
"It's already nine o'clock now. Let's go rest," Su Hua said in an extremely suggestive tone.
Lin Xuan's heart tightened.
That tone of Hua's... Could it be she was trying to lure him to bed again...
"Hua, um, I'll go take a shower first..." Lin Xuan forced himself to sound calm.
Su Hua's eyes curved into a smile. "Alright, then I'll wait for Xuan on the bed. Xuan, remember to finish quickly."
Lin Xuan's suspended heart dropped dead.
Just as he thought, Hua was indeed trying to lure him to bed.
Well, Hua's libido was terrifyingly strong. Only during her period would she calm down a bit.
No, not even during her period!
See, even though Hua was on her period right now, she was still thinking of luring him to bed.
Sigh.
In those novels, it's always the male lead with the strong libido, and the women are afraid of doing those things.
With him and Hua, it's the complete opposite.
Lin Xuan resigned himself to his fate and went into the bathroom to wash up.
He dragged his feet, taking half an hour to come out of the bathroom.
Su Hua was leaning against the headboard, reading a business magazine in her hands.
Seeing Lin Xuan appear.
She put down the magazine and crooked her finger at him, beckoning him over.
