Lin Qingwan walked onto the stage.
Jiang Shuqin's expression remained tense throughout.
Lin Li noticed and asked with concern, "Mom, what's wrong?"
Jiang Shuqin covered the area over her heart with her hand, shaking her head as she said, "It's nothing. I just feel very uneasy, like something is about to happen."
Her heart had been pounding erratically ever since Lin Xuan entered.
She had always felt that Lin Xuan was up to no good.
If it weren't for Wan'er protecting him, she would have absolutely thrown Lin Xuan out by now.
"Mom, are you worried about brother... no, are you worried that Lin Xuan will do something at the celebration banquet?" Lin Li asked with a frown.
"Yes."
Jiang Shuqin nodded. "I have a feeling Lin Xuan bringing Jiang Yutong to this celebration banquet isn't as simple as just attending. He's definitely plotting something bad."
"It's a shame no one believes me."
Speaking of this, Jiang Shuqin grew angry.
Her daughters all claim to be filial, yet not a single one of them believes her.
Instead, it's Li'er, this adopted son with no blood relation, who is willing to stand by her side from beginning to end.
"Mom, I believe you," Lin Li said.
"Li'er, you're the only one in this family willing to always stand by your mother's side," Jiang Shuqin said, moved.
She was truly immensely grateful she had adopted Li'er as her son.
Even if the whole world turned against her, Li'er would surely be on her side.
"Mom, don't say that. You are my birth mother. If I don't believe you, who else can I believe?"
Lin Li then added, "Mom, regarding Lin Xuan, you don't need to worry too much. I'll help keep an eye on him for you."
He was counting on Lin Qingwan to develop the company and provide him with a large sum of startup capital.
He absolutely would not allow any mishaps at the celebration banquet.
"Alright."
Jiang Shuqin nodded. "Then, Li'er, keep a close watch on him. Inform me immediately if there's any movement."
"Okay, Mom," Lin Li nodded.
Standing on the stage with the microphone, Lin Qingwan said with a beaming smile, "I am very happy today that everyone could come to attend my company's celebration banquet. I feel particularly surprised and delighted that my own younger brother, Lin Xuan, has come."
The smile on Lin Qingwan's face was unstoppable.
Lei Hui leaned close to Lin Xuan's ear and whispered, "Boss, that Lin Li seems to have been staring at you the whole time. His eyes look gloomy."
Lin Li's expression was truly frightening.
"Let him stare."
Lin Xuan curled his lip slightly. "He won't figure anything out anyway."
Because today, he had come purely to watch the show.
On stage, Lin Qingwan continued with a smile, "Over the past few weeks, our Supreme Series skincare products have achieved complete success. Every time they are released, they are basically sold out in seconds."
"Here, I want to thank the entire company team for their hard work, and I thank our consumers for their tremendous support."
Of course, she was most grateful to Jiang Yutong.
It was Jiang Yutong who developed this skincare product. Otherwise, where would their company's current glory be?
Night Garden.
Su Hua sat on the sofa, looking at a document sent by a subordinate on her phone.
Jiang Qing called.
"President Su."
Jiang Qing said, "Young Master Lin has appeared at the site of Lin Qingwan's company celebration banquet. There's a live stream. Would you like to watch it?"
Su Hua: "On which platform?"
A look of understanding appeared on Jiang Qing's face.
She knew the President would be interested in this.
No.
To be precise, President Su was interested in everything related to Young Master Lin.
"President Su, I'll send you the live stream link," Jiang Qing said.
"Mm," Su Hua nodded.
After hanging up, Jiang Qing immediately sent over the live stream link.
Su Hua clicked in. The live camera happened to pan to Jiang Yutong and Lin Xuan.
Jiang Yutong was just talking to Lin Xuan.
Jiang Yutong was also smiling brightly.
Lin Xuan's gaze also looked quite gentle.
Even though there was a Lei Hui sitting between them.
Su Hua still found the sight of Jiang Yutong and Lin Xuan chatting and laughing exceptionally grating.
Jiang Yutong was also Lin Xuan's biological cousin, related by blood.
Su Hua simply couldn't help feeling jealous.
She knew this mentality of hers was pathological, and she didn't dare show it.
Su Hua's hand gripped the phone tightly.
Her eyes remained fixed on Jiang Yutong and Lin Xuan.
The servants felt the atmosphere in the living room grow oppressive once again.
The servants looked at Su Hua again.
Seeing her frosty face.
They: "..."
The young lady is angry... again, and again, and again...
A chameleon couldn't change colors as fast as the young lady's expression.
Celebration Banquet Venue.
"Click, click."
The reporters continuously took photos of Lin Qingwan.
Lin Xuan, looking leisurely, picked up a glass of wine and slowly sipped it.
He raised his left hand, glanced at the time on his left wrist, and said with a hooked lip, "It's about time."
Upon hearing this, Lei Hui understood that Lin Xuan meant the show was about to begin.
Lei Hui sat up straight, his eyes fixed intently on Lin Qingwan.
Well, one must maintain the proper posture for watching a drama unfold.
"Lin Qingwan, you come out here!"
A lady of high society charged in, furious.
"You are..." Lin Qingwan frowned.
The lady had her face covered with a mask, wore a hat, and was bundled up tightly.
Lin Qingwan couldn't recognize her at all.
"I am Chen Qing!" Madam Chen said in a low voice.
"So it's Madam Chen."
Jiang Shuqin walked up with a smile.
She had thought Chen Qing came to Lin Qingwan's celebration banquet specifically to congratulate her.
This Madam Chen's family-owned Chen Group was a company ranked among the top six in all of Yundu.
Even at the peak of Xinghui Group's influence, she was someone Jiang Shuqin couldn't have curried favor with.
It was only through the skincare products produced by Wan'er's company that she had managed to get closer to this Madam Chen.
They had even had several meals together recently.
"Madam Chen, how are those skincare products working out? If you need more, I'll have Wan'er send some over," Jiang Shuqin said with a smiling face.
Lin Xuan watched this scene with a mocking expression.
He never expected to see Jiang Shuqin acting so humble and eager to please someone one day.
Madam Chen spat in disdain.
"These skincare products, you think I care for them?"
Jiang Shuqin's heart skipped a beat.
What did Madam Chen mean by that?
Wasn't she the one who loved the Supreme Series skincare products produced by Wan'er the most?
Madam Chen had even taken several sets of the skincare products from Wan'er to give as gifts.
"Madam Chen, what do you mean by this?" Jiang Shuqin asked apprehensively.
Madam Chen didn't answer Jiang Shuqin. She glared at Lin Qingwan on the stage.
"What ingredients are used in your skincare products?" Her voice was very heavy.
Lin Qingwan replied, "They are all made from plants, with no chemical additives. May I ask why you're inquiring about this, Madam Chen?"

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.
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?
saw a female celebrity tied up and stuffed in the trunk! Little did he know, countless cameras were aimed at him at this moment - this was a new type of reality show. The first randomly selected passerby was caught in less than an hour. But when Xu Moru was selected, things started to take an unexpected turn. "Damn, this isn't how the script goes. This Xu Moru is too bold, he's not following the rules at all." "Crap, is this guy taking it seriously?" "The female celebrity has been scared to tears!"
