Don't Let His Plan Succeed

"Then I guess we just have to let it go..." Jiang Shuqin said, her whole person becoming utterly dejected.

Xinghui Group had collapsed.

Wan'er's skincare company had also collapsed.

After Xiu'er lost her hospital job, she had been helping Wan'er with skincare product development.

With Wan'er's company in trouble, Xiu'er's work was gone too.

Now, the only income left was Yan'er's earnings from the entertainment industry.

That little bit of money was simply not enough to maintain her luxurious lifestyle.

She didn't want to live the kind of life poor people lived.

And all of this was caused by Lin Xuan!

If not for Lin Xuan, Xinghui Group wouldn't have gone bankrupt and closed down, Xiu'er wouldn't have lost her hospital job, and also! Wan'er's skincare company wouldn't have run into trouble!

It was all because of Lin Xuan!

Lin Xuan truly was a jinx.

He was born to bring misfortune upon her, upon the Lin family!

Jiang Shuqin said through gritted teeth, "Lin Chang, back then when you insisted on bringing Lin Xuan back from the orphanage, I strongly objected. But you were determined to bring him home."

"If you hadn't brought him back, our Lin family wouldn't have ended up in this state."

The Lin family would still be as glorious and prosperous as before, not this down-and-out mess.

She also wouldn't have learned about Lin Chang's affair with Jiang Wangya.

As long as she didn't know about their affair, she and Lin Chang would still be loving and affectionate to this day, not like now, where they couldn't be together for a few minutes without a huge fight.

What she found most unbearable was that Lin Xuan was now living a good life, an even better life than when the Lin family was at its peak! This hurt her more than having her heart ripped out.

Lin Qingwan, in her dejected state, had a chaotic mind and didn't pay any attention to what Jiang Shuqin was saying.

Lin Qingyan and Lin Qingxiu heard it clearly, though.

They remained silent, saying nothing.

It was indeed as their mother said; everything their family was going through now was brought by Xiao Xuan.

Xiao Xuan was taking revenge on them.

Yes, they did feel very guilty towards Xiao Xuan, but they couldn't bring themselves to not blame him at all.

They had also tasted the bitterness of Xinghui Group's bankruptcy.

The most obvious difference was that all those people who used to fawn over them had disappeared.

Lin Li, however, walked over silently and put his arm around Jiang Shuqin's shoulders.

"Mom, don't think too much. What was meant to happen has already happened. We just have to accept it."

"But, Mom, don't worry, I will definitely work hard in the future to give you a very, very good life."

Seeing Lin Li's well-behaved and sensible manner, a gratified smile appeared on Jiang Shuqin's face.

"Li'er." She patted the back of Lin Li's hand. "Don't worry, Mom is fine."

She would definitely live well.

Lin Xuan wanted her to suffer, but she would absolutely not let him have his way!

Jiang Shuqin's words just now actually reminded Lin Chang of something.

"Wan'er."

Lin Chang grabbed Lin Qingwan's shoulders and said seriously, "You must remember what I say. Lin Xuan targeted Xinghui Group, colluded with Jiang Yutong to set a trap for your company. Everything he did was to make our family destitute."

Lin Qingwan pressed her lips together.

It was indeed as her father said. Xiao Xuan was taking revenge on them, wanting them to suffer.

In Xiao Xuan's eyes, she was no longer his sister, and their parents were no longer his parents.

His only goal was to pay back everything he had experienced onto them.

"What I'm about to say next is very important, you must remember it!" Lin Chang's expression was extremely serious. "Let the company go bankrupt if it must. Don't put another cent into it. Lin Xuan already has his sights on your company. Any more money you put in will be wasted."

"You need to hold onto the money you have left, keep your savings secure, understand?"

"Mm." Lin Qingwan nodded, pressing her lips together. "I understand."

Lin Chang's gaze swept over his children.

"All of you, remember this: you must hold onto the money in your hands. Only with money will you have confidence. That way, Lin Xuan's plan won't succeed."

After what happened with Xinghui Group and Wan'er's company, he had fully realized how terrifying Lin Xuan was.

Lin Xuan would take revenge on them step by step.

All they could do was defend themselves!

At the same time, a wave of intense regret surged in Lin Chang's heart.

If only he had known, back when he brought Lin Xuan back from the orphanage, he would have treated Lin Xuan well.

Back then, he was fully involved in switching Li'er into the Lin family and letting Jiang Shuqin dote on Li'er excessively.

Whether Lin Xuan was a jinx or not, he knew better than anyone.

Jiang Shuqin also chimed in, "Right, right, right, we can't let Lin Xuan's plan succeed."

"If we really end up destitute, who knows how happy Lin Xuan would be."

Lin Xuan's happiness would only make her feel miserable.

Lin Qingyan said, "Dad, Mom, Big Sis, Xiu'er, Li'er, it's getting late, let's go home."

"Everyone, get some good rest. Sleep on it, and forget about today's events. As long as our family works together, we won't live too poorly."

She was a popular young actress in the entertainment industry. The money from filming, commercials, and endorsements could bring in over a hundred million a year.

If they were a bit frugal, that money would be enough for their family to live a good life.

"Yes, let's go home," Jiang Shuqin nodded.

She wiped the tears from the corner of her eye and looked at Lin Li. "Li'er, go help your big sister."

Lin Li's eyes were also filled with concern.

He nodded and said, "Okay, Mom, I'll go right away."

Lin Li helped Lin Qingwan leave.

The hotel staff watched their departing backs and shook their heads.

"The Lin family was still a wealthy, glorious family just over a year ago. Who would have thought they'd end up like this in such a short time?"

"They deserve their downfall!" A female staff member at the hotel said with disdain in her eyes. She was a die-hard fan of Lin Xuan and knew the Lin family's story inside out.

She sneered, "The Lin family couldn't tell pearls from fish eyes. They didn't cherish their own biological son, instead doting on an adopted one. They deserve their current fate."

If they had treated her idol properly, their lives would be incredibly good by now.

They wouldn't have ended up like this, with both family companies bankrupt.

Then, she cupped her face, adopting a fangirl expression. "But my idol is amazing. Unloved by his father and mother, kicked out of the Lin family, yet he grew up to be so capable despite that environment."

"Starting a company, being a computer genius, able to bring down established companies... his methods are just too, too awesome."

Truly worthy of being her idol!

So impressive!

Her colleague nudged her shoulder and teased with a knowing smile, "You like Lin Xuan so much, do you often fantasize about being his girlfriend?"

"Not at all!" the fangirl shook her head vigorously. "Someone as outstanding as my idol is not someone an ordinary person like me could ever match. I do like him a lot, but I know my place. I've never dared to entertain such thoughts."
