Xu Mu chatted here for a while longer before Xu Shou got up to leave.
He was planning to take Xu Ningbing to Yang City to discuss cooperation with major companies.
They intended to visit all the Feng Family’s business partners.
Xu Mu also planned to tag along; he had his own matters to attend to today.
After driving to the branch office in Yang City, Xu Mu first called over Zhang Shuaikai.
Having played a part in dealing with Feng Kang this time, Xu Mu definitely wanted to reward him.
“Young Master Xu, what can I do for you?” Zhang Shuaikai asked with a smile as he approached.
“The Feng Family is no more, but some of their subsidiaries should still be operational,” Xu Mu said, sitting back on the bench behind him as he looked at Zhang Shuaikai. “I can try to get you a company.”
“Young Master Xu, no need. I think it’s fine here. I’ve never studied management, and if you give me a company, I might just run it into the ground,” Zhang Shuaikai replied, feeling touched. Xu Mu was truly a good man.
Given his current position as a senior executive, he was already quite satisfied.
“All right then,” Xu Mu said without insisting, signaling Zhang Shuaikai to return to work.
Just then, a woman in uniform stepped out from the company lobby.
The few tightly fastened buttons on her uniform hinted at the formidable, thunderous power concealed beneath.
It was Li Yun.
“Xiao Mu!” Li Yun’s face lit up with surprise and joy as she walked toward Xu Mu.
Xu Mu took a moment to appraise Li Yun and was surprised to see she was wearing light makeup.
She looked at least five years younger now, more attractive than ever.
“Auntie’s wearing makeup? I almost didn’t recognize you—I was about to call you ‘sister,’” Xu Mu said with a smile.
[Affection +10]
Li Yun brushed her hair back with a hand, her expression slightly awkward.
“Don’t joke about ‘auntie,’” she said, a little embarrassed.
She usually went without makeup, but since her colleagues all wore some, she felt out of place without it.
Besides, her job required representing the company’s image, so she followed suit.
“Where are you headed, Auntie?” Xu Mu asked curiously.
He had noticed her route earlier seemed to be leaving the company, but she changed direction upon seeing him.
Li Yun didn’t hide it. “Fang Chu called me. He’s just outside the company.”
“Fang Chu?” Xu Mu frowned. What was that freeloader doing here?
After a moment’s thought, Xu Mu said, “Auntie, do you mind if I come with you?”
“Of course not. I wanted you to accompany me but felt shy to ask,” Li Yun said, giving a faint smile.
Outside the company, a sleek black Rolls-Royce Phantom was parked.
Fang Chu sat behind the wheel, waiting quietly. Before long, he spotted Li Yun through the car window.
Li Yun was even more alluring than before.
Her look was like the mature women in the Korean comics he often read—full-bodied and captivating.
Just thinking about having a woman like that made Fang Chu stir with anticipation.
Suddenly, his expression darkened as he noticed Xu Mu, that scoundrel, standing nearby.
Almost every woman he fancied seemed to have feelings for Xu Mu.
Right now, Fang Chu simply couldn’t tolerate it.
After he got out of the car, he smiled and greeted, "Auntie."
Li Yun certainly recognized this kind of car. After all, Chairman Xu also owned one—it was a luxury vehicle worth tens of millions.
"Xiao Fang, what brings you to see Auntie?"
Li Yun walked over and looked at the car, teasing, "Have you become a driver recently? People who own cars like this must be pretty well off. Drive carefully—you've got a bright future ahead."
Fang Chu twitched the corner of his mouth a few times before smiling and saying, "Auntie, this is my car."
Behind him, Xu Mu had his hands in his pockets. He had initially thought there was some business to discuss, but it turned out Fang Chu was just here to show off.
"Ah? Why did you buy this car? If you have money, you should improve your family first."
Li Yun was a bit surprised.
"Auntie, I told you before I had a company, but it failed due to poor management. Now, I've started a new company, and I have money again."
Fang Chu tapped the hood of the car. "Cars like this—I want to buy as many as I want."
"You're impressive—young and successful."
Li Yun gave him a thumbs-up, then asked, "So what did you want to see me about? I'm still working."
"Auntie, you shouldn’t work anymore. Come work with me."
Fang Chu deliberately spoke in a somewhat suggestive tone, then added, "The salary is five times what you get here!"
"Xiao Fang, forget it. I like it here."
Li Yun shook her head gently.
"Auntie! I'm not lying. I can advance your salary—two million to start. You don’t have to do anything else. Just stay with me from now on!"
Fang Chu didn’t understand why Li Yun refused.
"Fang Chu, how is this any different from being kept?"
Li Yun’s expression turned sour.
"I just want to keep you… No, I mean, it’s for your own good, Auntie," Fang Chu hurriedly explained.
"Don't call me again."
Li Yun said, then turned and walked away.
Xu Mu shook his head beside her. Fang Chu simply didn’t understand Li Yun’s heart.
If it had been before, when Li Yun was sick and bedridden, maybe she would have lowered her pride for Zhao Yingying’s future.
But now, absolutely not.
She was a strong woman who wanted to realize her own worth.
"Xu Mu! You punk! Did you threaten Auntie?"
Fang Chu pointed at Xu Mu and shouted. With a luxury car worth tens of millions parked here, why wouldn’t Li Yun go with him?
She was clearly short on money!
[Destiny Power -10]
"Xiao Mu, don’t pay him any mind!"
Li Yun grabbed Xu Mu’s hand and headed back toward the company.
At first, she had a good impression of Fang Chu, even thinking that after she was gone, her daughter could marry him.
But later, she realized Fang Chu was a bit off, so she lost interest.
Now that he had money and was driving a luxury car, he thought she would just go with him?
Did he really think she was someone who’d sell out for money?
If she liked money that much, she would have remarried someone wealthy a long time ago, instead of struggling to raise Zhao Yingying on her own.
She felt that Fang Chu was nowhere near Xu Mu.
When Xu Mu took out that pill worth millions, he didn’t even mention the price—he just wanted her to take it.
And Fang Chu?
As soon as he had a little money, he started showing off.
[Favorability +10]
Li Yun stole a glance at Xu Mu—truly, they were worlds apart.
Fang Chu watched their retreating backs, growling low, "Damn it! Xu Mu, do you still think I'm the same submissive son-in-law I used to be? I'll bring the Xu family to ruin! Let's see how long you can keep your arrogance!"
He opened the car door, and the Rolls-Royce roared out of sight.
……
The business district of Yang City was bustling with activity.
Just today alone, dozens of large companies had newly registered in Yang City.
The Shen Family.
Shen Hong had been eyeing a chance to swallow up some territory from the Feng Family, but today, matters had held him back.
In the spacious living room, Shen Hong sat on the sofa, feeling as if needles pricked his back.
Opposite him, on a single armchair, sat a young man dressed in a black coat, his hair slicked back, his face stern and cold.
He was none other than the Dragon King, Ye Chen.
Behind Ye Chen’s chair stood two people: a short-haired beauty and a bearded middle-aged man.
These two were his right and left hands, Xiao Ran and Huang Qu.
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.

A kind young man, who wanted to just get by singing, but through repeated deceits and betrayals, has gone down an irredeemable path.
