"Boss."
The hotel manager stepped past the despondent Jiang Shuqin and approached Lin Xuan.
He inquired respectfully, "Boss, why didn't you notify me of your visit to the hotel? I could have come to the entrance to welcome you."
Lin Xuan replied, "I'm just here to take care of some business. There's no need for such formalities."
After speaking, he raised an eyebrow and looked at Jiang Shuqin. "Ms. Jiang, what do you say? Do you still want to kick me out of my own property?"
Jiang Shuqin was speechless.
She clenched her fists tightly.
After Lin Xuan left the Lin family, he seemed to be doing much better than she had imagined!
Lin Xuan should be living in poverty and hardship. What right did he have to live so well?
Jiang Shuqin braced herself and said, "So what if you're the hotel owner? We've rented this hotel. We don't welcome you here. Even if you're the boss, it's useless."
Lin Qingwan came out of the restroom stall.
While washing her hands, she overheard two girls who had just entered talking.
"Did you see Lin Xuan just now? Ahhh, he's so incredibly handsome! When I got close to him, I thought he was even more handsome. Really, he's more attractive than any male celebrity in the entertainment industry."
What stood out most was his aura of nobility. Just looking at his attire and style, you could tell his family background was extraordinary.
Without comparison, there's no sense of loss. She originally really liked a certain actor who starred in idol dramas, thinking he was exceptionally good-looking.
But under the impact of Lin Xuan's stunning beauty, she suddenly felt the actor she liked was just average-looking.
"I'm switching my allegiance to Lin Xuan! If only Lin Xuan were a celebrity in the entertainment industry."
If Lin Xuan were a celebrity, he would frequently appear on screen.
As an ordinary person, she had no idea how long it would be before she could see Lin Xuan again.
Hearing the two employees' conversation, Lin Qingwan felt a surge of excitement.
She asked in disbelief, "Did you just say Lin Xuan came to the celebration banquet?"
"That's right," the two employees nodded. "We both saw Lin Xuan arrive with our own eyes."
Visible excitement appeared on Lin Qingwan's face.
She had sent someone to deliver an invitation to Xiao Xuan, inviting him to her company's celebration banquet.
She actually had little hope that Xiao Xuan would come.
To her surprise, Xiao Xuan actually came...
That meant Xiao Xuan should soon forgive her, his eldest sister, and she could properly make it up to him.
"President Lin, was Lin Xuan invited by you?" one employee inquired.
"Yes, I invited him," Lin Qingwan nodded.
This celebration banquet held great significance for her.
She wished for all the people she cared about to be present.
"President Lin, you should hurry back to the banquet. Your mother just stopped Lin Xuan, saying his invitation was forged," the employee reminded her.
Lin Qingwan's heart skipped a beat.
Her mother had always disliked Xiao Xuan, and earlier her mother had even warned her not to invite him.
Mother would definitely treat Xiao Xuan very poorly.
Xiao Xuan had finally been willing to come to her company's celebration banquet. She couldn't let her mother drive him away.
"Okay, thank you. I'll give you both a bonus later."
After speaking, Lin Qingwan hurriedly returned to the celebration banquet.
As she approached, she heard her mother's words about wanting to drive Lin Xuan away.
"Mom."
Lin Qingwan walked up to Jiang Shuqin. "Xiao Xuan was indeed invited by me. I sent him an invitation," Lin Qingwan explained anxiously.
"What? You invited him?"
Jiang Shuqin's eyes widened. "Didn't you just say you hadn't invited Lin Xuan?"
Lin Qingwan explained, "I thought Xiao Xuan wouldn't come to my celebration banquet. I only agreed with you to placate you."
"You... you, you!"
Jiang Shuqin gasped for breath heavily, clearly furious.
She felt as if a slap had been delivered hard across her own face.
So.
Lin Xuan was invited by Wan'er to the celebration banquet, and Lin Xuan was also the owner of the Royal Hotel.
Jiang Shuqin felt her earlier frantic performance made her look very much like a clown.
"Mom, are you okay?" Seeing Jiang Shuqin's furious state, Lin Li ran to her side worriedly, patting her back to help her catch her breath.
Seeing Lin Li's actions, Jiang Shuqin felt a sliver of comfort.
None of the children she carried for ten months and gave birth to with such difficulty were easy to deal with.
Fortunately, she had adopted Li'er.
"Li'er, don't worry, Mom is fine," Jiang Shuqin forced a smile.
But when she turned to face Lin Qingwan, her expression darkened again.
"Lin Qingwan, are you trying to anger me to death?" Jiang Shuqin said furiously.
"Don't you know that Lin Xuan likes to cause trouble at our family's banquets? And you still invited him?"
"Mom, Xiao Xuan won't do that," Lin Qingwan said.
"Eldest Sister, Lin Xuan brought Jiang Yutong with him," Lin Li reminded.
Lin Qingwan frowned. Following where Lin Li pointed, she indeed saw Jiang Yutong.
Lin Qingwan had thought Lin Xuan came to celebrate with her.
But, Xiao Xuan came with Jiang Yutong...
Xiao Xuan should know that she and Jiang Yutong didn't get along and had always been competitors...
Could it be that Xiao Xuan came here with the intention of causing trouble?
Thinking this, Lin Qingwan shook her head again.
No, she couldn't doubt Xiao Xuan.
Lin Qingwan forced a smile at the corner of her mouth. "Mom, I believe in Xiao Xuan. He didn't come to cause trouble. As for him bringing Jiang Yutong, maybe Jiang Yutong begged him to bring her along."
Seeing Lin Qingwan still speaking up for Lin Xuan, Jiang Shuqin said angrily, "Have all you sisters been bewitched by Lin Xuan?"
She remembered, when Lin Xuan was still living with the Lin family, none of the sisters gave him a friendly look.
Why was it that after Lin Xuan left, they all started being nice to him?
The Lin Qingwan sisters remained silent.
Jiang Shuqin was beside herself with anger.
She pointed a finger at Lin Xuan. "Lin Xuan, do you dare swear that you came to Wan'er's celebration banquet not to cause trouble? If you came to cause trouble, then please leave of your own accord!"
With so many reporters present.
If Lin Xuan denied it, any action he took later would surely be captured by the reporters and labeled as going back on his word.
If Lin Xuan admitted it, it would be just as well for him to leave the celebration banquet immediately.
Lin Xuan nodded. "Fine, I swear."
Lin Xuan raised two fingers.
"I promise, I won't do anything this time I'm here."
A relieved smile appeared on Lin Qingwan's face.
Indeed, Xiao Xuan really came to celebrate with her.
The reason for such a big change in his attitude towards her was probably because he saw that interview segment of her on the TV program.
He didn't overthink it and also believed she was sincere, which is why he was willing to get close to her again.

ive and Ruthless] Before his transmigration, Ye Xuan was playing a game called "Severing Emotions to Attain the Dao." The game's core wasn't about leveling up by fighting monsters, but about conquering various "bad women" with wicked personalities and cold, fickle natures. There was only one method to conquer them: stay unwaveringly by their side, then die at a critical moment, driving them to madness after losing the protagonist. The higher their level of regret, the higher the player's score. To dominate the server, Ye Xuan conquered all the bad women. In the early stages, he showered them with boundless tenderness, only to choose to sacrifice himself for them later, making them weep bitterly and drown in regret. Among them were: Xia Lengyue, the unfaithful immortal wife who chased after powerful men and discarded her husband like trash. Ye Qingcheng, the Demonic Venerable of the Joyous Union Sect, who appeared pure and innocent but was, in reality, promiscuous. Wu Lingxiao, the Empress of the Great Xia Dynasty, who lusted after men and loved maintaining a harem. Bai Qiangu of the Endless Demonic Sect: a bloodthirsty mass murderer. However, when the protagonist transmigrated into the game world, he made a horrifying discovery. Eight hundred years had already passed. The bad women he had conquered had now each become deities and revered ancestors. Faced with the endless stream of toxic women coming for him, Ye Xuan could only rely on his god-tier acting skills to carve a path of survival through this world of treacherous women.
