Jiang Shuqin said in a low voice, "So many reporters are here, Lin Xuan. Remember your words."
"Don't worry. When I swear to something, I never go back on my word," Lin Xuan said with a smile.
A vein throbbed at Jiang Shuqin's temple.
For some reason, even though Lin Xuan had sworn an oath, she still felt uneasy, as if something was about to happen...
Lin Qingwan walked excitedly up to Lin Xuan.
"Xiao Xuan, I'm so happy you could come to my company's celebration banquet," Lin Qingwan said, her face full of excitement.
She even shot a challenging glance at Jiang Yutong.
Jiang Yutong had tried to make her unhappy, doing everything she could to stop Xiao Xuan from reconciling with her.
It seemed Jiang Yutong's hopes were about to be dashed.
Jiang Yutong noticed Lin Qingwan's look and was somewhat confused.
She frowned tightly, her face full of bewilderment.
That look Lin Qingwan gave her... was it a challenge?
Challenging her about what?
What was there to challenge?
"She's insane," Jiang Yutong muttered.
"Hmm."
Lin Xuan responded casually and then walked over to sit down beside Lei Hui.
Lin Qingwan's brow furrowed slightly.
Hadn't Xiao Xuan's attitude towards her softened?
Why was he still acting so cold and distant?
The hotel manager asked respectfully, "Boss, they treated you like that earlier. Should we have them thrown out of the hotel?"
"No need."
Lin Xuan said, "If we throw them out, how do we make money?"
Making money was the top priority.
Lin Qingwan's spending at the Royal Entertainment Circle today was estimated to be tens of millions, a real splurge. This money was there for the taking, why not earn it?
Besides, if they drove them away, how would they watch the show?
"Oh, right," Lin Xuan added, "Go and settle the bill with Lin Qingwan now."
He was worried that after tonight's events, Lin Qingwan might not have the money to pay the hotel, which would be a huge loss.
"Understood, Boss."
The hotel manager nodded respectfully.
He walked up to Lin Qingwan.
"President Lin, your total consumption at our hotel tonight is sixty million. Will you be paying by card?" the hotel manager asked respectfully.
Lin Qingyan said sternly, "Isn't the bill settled after the meal? Why are you asking for payment so early? Are you afraid we'll skip out on the bill?"
The hotel manager smiled slightly.
He didn't know why the boss wanted him to ask Lin Qingwan for the money in advance, but the boss must have his reasons.
"Alright, Yan Yan, it doesn't matter whether we pay this money early or late."
Now that the company was thriving, sixty million was something she could easily produce.
Lin Qingwan took out a bank card. "Charge it."
"Right away, President Lin."
The hotel manager left with the bank card, smiling.
Over here, Jiang Yutong asked, very puzzled, "Mr. Lin, aren't you here to cause trouble? Why did you make that oath?"
Lei Hui laughed and explained, "No, no, the boss is here to watch the show, not to cause trouble. The boss had already arranged everything beforehand. So now, he's just here to enjoy the spectacle."
After this is over, who knows if the Lin family will be furious to death.
Jiang Yutong suddenly understood. "So that's how it is."
She couldn't help but glance at Lin Xuan a few more times.
Xiao Xuan's method was really quite devious.
Not bad, not bad. It had a bit of the Jiang family's style.
Xiao Xuan really was well-suited to be part of their Jiang family.
Lei Hui raised an eyebrow and said, "Well? Boss, am I right? I understand you pretty well, don't I?"
"Hmm."
Lin Xuan nodded.
That was indeed his intention.
Lin Xuan, worried that Su Hua might overthink things, took out his phone to update her.
He turned on his phone, but the screen remained dark. Lin Xuan then remembered his phone had shut down due to a dead battery.
He asked a hotel staff member to bring him a power bank.
After charging it, the phone turned on.
He opened the WeChat page.
He found that Su Hua hadn't sent him a single message.
Lin Xuan frowned.
Something felt off.
Logically, if Hua Bao was coming back late, she would contact him. Why was there no news at all?
Lin Xuan took a photo of the banquet scene.
He sent it to Su Hua.
[Hua Bao, I'm currently at the celebration banquet for Lin Qingwan's company. I'll come back right after I finish dealing with things here.]
In the photo Lin Xuan took, Lin Qingwan and two other society ladies were in the frame.
Su Hua opened and looked at the message as soon as Lin Xuan sent it.
She pursed her lips.
So A Xuan went to Lin Qingwan's company celebration banquet, that's why he didn't have time to eat the meal she personally cooked...
Also.
Xiao Xuan attending Lin Qingwan's celebration banquet... did it mean Xiao Xuan wanted to reconcile with his Lin family relatives again...
The mere thought of this possibility made Su Hua feel a surge of unease.
Lin Qingwan didn't like her and had once tried to stop her from being with A Xuan.
After A Xuan goes back, would they try to brainwash him?
And.
She really disliked anyone trying to take her A Xuan away from her, even if they were his blood relatives.
She had finally seen A Xuan break with the Lin family. Was she now going to have to watch him return to them?
She really wanted to grab A Xuan and lock him up, so his heart would forever belong only to her...
Su Hua was sitting in the living room looking at her phone while contacting Lin Xuan.
The servants working in the living room suddenly felt the temperature around them drop several degrees.
They all looked at Su Hua in unison.
Sure enough, they saw Su Hua pursing her lips, her face cold as frost.
The servants: ???
What's going on?
A moment ago, the young lady was just expressionless. How did her expression become so terrifying in the blink of an eye?
One thing about President Su is quite similar to ordinary women—her face changes... her expression shifts in an instant.
Su Hua pursed her lips, her fingers typing on the phone screen.
[A Xuan, why did you go to Lin Qingwan's company celebration banquet?]
If A Xuan went purely to celebrate with Lin Qingwan and wanted to repair his relationship with her...
Then don't blame her for locking him up...
"Achoo!"
Lin Xuan sneezed inexplicably.
He frowned.
What's going on?
Why did he suddenly feel a chill, like he was being watched?
It felt very much like before, when Hua Bao wanted to lock him in a dark room...
But this must just be his imagination.
He hadn't done anything, why would Hua Bao lock him up?
Jiang Yutong asked with concern, "Mr. Lin, do you have a cold?"
"I'm fine," Lin Xuan shook his head. "My nose just itched for no reason."
Lin Xuan lowered his head and replied to Su Hua truthfully on WeChat.
[Didn't I plan to deal with Lin Qingwan's company before? The net is closing now. I'm just here specifically to watch the show.]
Su Hua saw the message Lin Xuan sent.
A smile appeared on her face.
So A Xuan just wanted to watch the show, not reconcile with the Lin family.

spital. Good news: I've bound a system. Bad news: I'm still a baby. "Thirty years east of the river, thirty years west of the river, do not bully the middle-aged for being poor — Divorce Comeback System." "Your marriage may have failed, but your luck in love has never run dry. Your childhood sweetheart, out of contact for twenty years, reappears. Her beauty remains, yet her eyes are brimming with tears." [Listen to the childhood sweetheart's sorrowful story.] Chen Zhi looked down at the diaper he was wearing, then at the little childhood sweetheart crying her heart out beside him, and fell into deep thought. Can anyone relate? I'm having a midlife crisis at an age where even rolling over is a struggle.
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!
grated, and just when he finally managed to get into an elite academy, he discovered that he actually had a system, and the way to earn rewards was extremely ridiculous. So for the sake of rewards, he had no choice but to start acting ridiculous as well. Su Cheng: "It's nothing but system quests after all." But later, what confused Su Cheng was that while he was already quite ridiculous, he never expected those serious characters to gradually become ridiculous too. And the way they looked at him became increasingly strange... (This synopsis doesn't do it justice, please read the full story)
for mindless slaughter, this isn't for you.] My name is Ye Shu, and I'm a transmigrator. It seems I'm supposed to be the protagonist, but that feels pretty unlikely. This world has been invaded by a system. The antagonists on the other side have suddenly become pure, flawless saints. The female leads have been force-fed the so-called "original plot," making them think they've been reborn. Now, everyone thinks I'm scum. Including the old lady in my ring. And here I am, in the Monster Beast Mountain Range, braising pork. To put my situation in perspective— It's as if, the moment Xiao Yan stepped into the Monster Beast Mountain Range, the Soul Emperor already knew he would become the Flame Emperor, and Yao Lao had been turned to the enemy's side. I have nothing right now. Oh wait, that's not true. I do have a white-haired loli child-bride who's the Heavenly Dao, and her only skill is acting cute. So, tell me guys... what are my chances of making it to the end?
