Lin Xuan thought of his previous life.
He had died, and the entire Lin Family had seen the news of his death. They were all still celebrating Lin Li's birthday.
Lin Xuan's eyes filled with more and more mockery.
These were his biological parents and biological sister.
"I couldn't be happier," Lin Xuan stood up from his seat, "Chairman Lin, I'll remind you one more time. Don't forget, we've severed ties."
"Lin Xuan, you!"
Lin Chang's face had turned ashen with anger, "Fine, fine, fine."
He pointed toward the door, his fingers trembling with rage, "Get out! Don't ever think of coming begging to the Lin Family for anything!"
Lin Xuan gave him a cold smile.
The next time they met, they would be competitors.
After Lin Xuan left, Lin Chang slumped dejectedly into his chair.
He had thought Lin Xuan would agree to the engagement with Shen Qianqian, but he had rejected it...
Without the cooperation of the Shen Family, their company's billions of funds would be flushed down the drain.
Lin Chang glanced outside and suddenly saw a man in a suit, looking like a bodyguard, extending his hand to Lin Xuan, who then got into a car.
It was a Rolls-Royce...
Such a car cost tens of millions, and even he couldn't bear to buy one.
Lin Chang frowned.
Could the woman who was keeping Lin Xuan be more powerful than the Lin Family?
No, that couldn't be possible.
Why would a woman like that even look at Lin Xuan?
A phone call suddenly came through.
It was Shen Qianqian.
"Qianqian," Lin Chang spoke gently.
"Uncle, have you talked to Brother Lin Xuan about my wedding yet?" Shen Qianqian asked eagerly.
"I've discussed it with Xuan," Lin Chang sighed, "He's currently in a temper with me. I'll talk to him again after he calms down."
Shen Qianqian frowned.
That was too slow.
However, the Lin Family was her quickest way to get close to Brother Lin Xuan. She couldn't afford to fall out with them.
"Then do it quickly," Shen Qianqian hung up the phone.
Lin Chang's face darkened as he dropped his phone onto the desk.
It seemed he needed to push Lin Xuan even harder. He couldn't let him live too comfortably outside; that way, Lin Xuan would remember the benefits of the Lin Family.
Outside the Rongshi Hotel.
Lin Li's face was as pale as a ghost, his hands tightly gripping his phone.
His father had found Lin Xuan.
Such a good opportunity to return to the Lin Family; Lin Xuan wouldn't let it slip away.
This time, when he returned to the Lin Family, he would likely see Lin Xuan sitting arrogantly in the living room of the Lin Family mansion.
If Lin Xuan became the son-in-law of the Shen Family, and Shen Qianqian was a fool, Shen Corporation would inevitably fall into Lin Xuan's hands.
His father was a man who highly valued interests. For the development of the company, he might very well hand over Starlight Group to Lin Xuan.
Then he would have nothing.
What should he do now?
Lin Li's mind was blank.
Suddenly, a Maybach stopped in front of the hotel, with two black cars on each side as escorts.
Eight bodyguards got out of the cars.
They moved with military precision, forming a protective shield around a woman in the middle.
The woman was dressed in a sleek black suit, with a belt accentuating her waist so slender it seemed barely a handful.
A gust of wind blew, making her long, silky hair flutter around her shoulders.
Her skin was as white as snow, her lips as red as flames.
Her beauty was breathtaking.
Lin Li's eyes lit up.
It was Su Hua!
Lin Li was both surprised and filled with intense jealousy.
Where did Lin Xuan get the audacity to attract women like Su Hua and then Shen Qianqian?
It seemed they all liked him one after another!
However, someone like Su Hua must have a sharp eye for where faults lie. If he could tell her about Lin Xuan seducing Shen Qianqian, perhaps Su Hua would abandon Lin Xuan and deal with the Shen Family as well.
Lin Xuan's plans would be ruined.
Lin Li strode forward, wanting to approach Su Hua and tell her about Lin Xuan and Shen Qianqian.
The bodyguards stopped him.
"What do you want?" the bodyguards asked, their faces threatening.
In front of these towering bodyguards, Lin Li's frail figure looked pitiful and defenseless.
Lin Li felt an inexplicable chill and took several steps back involuntarily.
The bodyguards remained vigilant, keeping their eyes on him.
Lin Li watched as Su Hua was about to enter the hotel. If he missed this chance to see her, he might never get another opportunity.
He had to tell Su Hua about Lin Xuan before his plan was completed; otherwise, it would be too late.
Some unknown courage surged within Lin Li as he started yelling at Su Hua.
"Madam Su, Lin Xuan isn't a good person. He has betrayed you. He only has his eyes on your money. Don't be fooled by him!"
Su Hua stopped in her tracks.
She frowned and glanced at Lin Li.
Jiang Qing whispered, "Madam Su, it's Lin Li."
Su Hua frowned, "Bring him over."
One bodyguard received the order and walked up to Lin Li, "Our Madam Su summons you."
Lin Li's heart raced with excitement as he hurried over, following the bodyguard to Su Hua.
"You say, Ah Xuan has betrayed me?" Su Hua's voice was icy.
"Yes," Lin Li nodded, "Shen Qianqian and I were fiancées. Lin Xuan exposed a video of me and Qin Ruoyao at my birthday party, and Shen Qianqian canceled our engagement."
"Only later did I realize Lin Xuan's true intention. He wanted to become engaged to Shen Qianqian himself. With our engagement canceled, the betrothal between the Lin Family and the Shen Family naturally fell to him."
Su Hua narrowed her eyes, "Ah Xuan and Shen Qianqian. They have a betrothal?"
"Yes," Lin Li nodded, "This betrothal was arranged when my mother was still pregnant with me and the Shen Family."
Su Hua's jealousy almost overwhelmed her rationality.
So Ah Xuan and another woman had a betrothal...
"Madam Su," Lin Li continued, "Shen Qianqian and Lin Xuan had no previous interactions, but a few days ago, she came to the Lin Family asking for her engagement with Lin Xuan to be arranged."
"Shen Qianqian suddenly wants to marry Lin Xuan. I'm not sure if something happened recently for Lin Xuan to make Shen Qianqian fall for him..."
This was a blatant implication that Lin Xuan was seducing Shen Qianqian.
Su Hua clenched her fists, the darkness in her eyes swirling.
Lin Li watched Su Hua's expression and felt triumphant.
It seemed Su Hua believed him and was indeed angry.
"Speaking of which, Shen Corporation only has Shen Qianqian as their only daughter. He schemed all this, probably aiming for Shen Corporation." Lin Li pressed on, painting Lin Xuan as both a scumbag and a money-grubber.
"Is that so?" Su Hua's lips curled into a chilling smile.
Lin Li felt triumphant inside.
This time, Madam Su definitely wouldn't let Lin Xuan off easy.
