"Alright, thank you, Wanwan." The noblewomen's faces lit up with smiles.
Jiang Shuqin watched this scene unfold before her with a beaming smile.
Lin Qingwan returned to her office.
Her mind replayed the phone call from Jiang Yutong, filled with pointed sarcasm aimed directly at her.
A wave of worry surged in Lin Qingwan's heart.
She wondered if Xiao Xuan had seen that program.
And more importantly, had he misunderstood her?
She truly hadn't meant it that way; she never wanted to hurt Xiao Xuan.
Lin Qingwan took out her phone, wanting to call Lin Xuan and explain.
Her finger hovered over the call button before stopping.
"No, I can't call him."
"Maybe Xiao Xuan didn't see that program. If I call him, wouldn't I just be reminding him about it?"
Xiao Xuan had always held a strong prejudice against her.
He wouldn't believe her explanations.
It might even deepen his misunderstanding.
She couldn't take that risk.
Thinking this, Lin Qingwan put her phone down again.
Her secretary walked in.
Lin Qingwan asked, "When will our latest batch of skincare products be ready for distribution?"
The secretary answered respectfully, "In five more days."
"President Lin, this skincare line is selling incredibly well. It sells out almost the moment it's released. Our production speed simply can't keep up with the sales."
Lin Qingwan's lips curved into a smile. "That's how it is with good products."
Thanks to the product developed by Jiang Yutong's company, otherwise, how would their own company have had the chance to go international?
Once the skincare line becomes a worldwide sensation, she would have to go and properly thank Jiang Yutong.
"Send the next batch of products for overseas sales," Lin Qingwan instructed.
"Understood, President Lin," the secretary nodded. "I'll contact the overseas distributors right away."
Meanwhile.
Lin Xuan looked at the sales report for Lin Qingwan's products, which clearly recorded the sales figures and times for the Supreme Series skincare line.
"The number of people with facial issues is about to reach a tipping point. It's time for Lin Qingwan's company to go bankrupt."
This would save him from having Lin Qingwan popping up in front of him from time to time.
Furthermore,
helping those with injured faces recover also came with costs.
He had no intention of playing the generous philanthropist, continuing to treat people's faces for free.
Lin Xuan picked up his phone and called Jiang Yutong.
Seeing the contact name "Xiao Xuan" on her screen, Jiang Yutong felt a surge of joy.
Xiao Xuan was actually taking the initiative to call her.
Jiang Yutong couldn't help but smile.
The secretary, who was in the middle of a work report, noticed Jiang Yutong's expression.
President Jiang was staring at her phone with such a happy smile. It couldn't be because of her boyfriend.
That left only one possibility: this call was from Young Master Lin.
She leaned over for a glance.
Just as she thought.
It really was a call from Young Master Lin.
Tsk tsk.
Before President Jiang met Young Master Lin, she never realized the President was such a doting sister.
Now, even though Young Master Lin hardly pays her any attention, President Jiang acts like this. Who knows how spoiled Young Master Lin will be when he's officially recognized back into the Jiang family.
Jiang Yutong put the phone to her ear, her tone exceptionally gentle, "Mr. Lin, what brings your call?"
Lin Xuan's voice was as cold and distant as ever. "Second Miss Jiang, it's time to let the public opinion regarding Lin Qingwan erupt. All you need to do is withdraw your people, stop suppressing the news about the Supreme Series skincare causing disfigurement."
"As for trending on Weibo and other major platforms, I'll handle that."
It was just a matter of a word from their Tianmu Group.
He'd have Lei Hui mention it in the group chat, and the heads of the various platforms would comply.
Jiang Yutong's eyes showed a hint of hesitation.
"Xiao Xuan..."
She blurted out, then remembered Lin Xuan's previous cold request not to call him so intimately, and corrected herself.
"No, Mr. Lin. If you really go through with targeting Lin Qingwan this time, there will be no possibility of reconciliation between you. Are you sure you want to proceed to the next step?"
Jiang Yutong wasn't sure what Lin Xuan truly felt about Lin Qingwan.
On the surface, Lin Xuan wanted nothing to do with Lin Qingwan, but what about in his heart?
They were, after all, biological siblings.
She worried that one day Xiao Xuan might regret it.
Lin Xuan answered expressionlessly, "There will be no further connection between her and me. I didn't hesitate when I took down Star Glory Group before, and it's the same now, dealing with Lin Qingwan's company."
"Alright then," Jiang Yutong nodded. "I'll arrange everything as you've said."
Judging by Xiao Xuan's tone, he would never acknowledge Lin Qingwan.
Perhaps it's for the best. A hypocrite like Lin Qingwan doesn't deserve to be Xiao Xuan's sister.
After hanging up,
a dark glint flashed in Lin Xuan's eyes.
After dealing with Lin Qingwan, it would be the turn of the other Lin family members.
Just having Star Glory Group go bankrupt was far from enough.
If the goal was to make the Lin family live in destitution, then the careers of every single Lin family member needed to be ruined.
Lin Xuan let out a soft, cold laugh.
He wondered if, once the whole family was reduced to poverty, they would still treat Lin Li as well as before, especially after Lin Li squandered all their assets.
From what he knew,
Lin Li was already preparing to start a business. He believed Lin Li wasn't far from launching his venture.
Since Lin Li had no money of his own, he would inevitably try every means to get money from the other family members.
He would make sure every cent Lin Li invested went down the drain.
Butler Wang brought a cup of tea to Lin Xuan, who was sitting in the living room of Night Garden.
He caught sight of the smile on Lin Xuan's face.
Involuntarily, goosebumps rose on his arms.
Young Master Lin had always had a rather mild temperament.
Why did his expression just now seem so sinister?
"Young Master Lin, your tea."
Butler Wang said respectfully.
"Thanks." Lin Xuan took the tea.
Butler Wang inquired curiously, "Young Master Lin, you were just now..."
Lin Xuan replied, "It's nothing. I was just thinking that it's about time for Lin Qingwan's company to go bankrupt."
Butler Wang's eyes lit up.
Young Master Lin was targeting the Lin family again.
And a good thing too.
Back then, Young Master Lin lived a life worse than a dog in that family.
No!
Young Master Lin was treated worse than the family dog.
Their young mistress felt sorry for him and wanted to teach the Lin family a lesson herself. But Young Master Lin cared too much about them back then. The young mistress was afraid of hurting him and also worried he'd find out she was behind it, so she never acted.
Now that Young Master Lin no longer sees the Lins as family at all, it's truly excellent.
"Young Master Lin," Butler Wang said, "You can always consider Night Garden your home from now on, and consider the Master your family."
As for the young mistress, she wasn't family; she was Young Master Lin's future wife.
"Mm."
Lin Xuan understood the meaning behind Butler Wang's words and nodded. "I will. However, Butler Wang, you needn't worry. I long ago stopped expecting anything from familial bonds, and I hold not a shred of affection for the Lin family anymore."
