Lin Xuan intended to get straight to the point.
"Jiang..." He had just uttered the word "Jiang" when Jiang Shuqin began to mock him coldly, "A good show? What could an outsider like you possibly know about our family affairs?"
"Lin Xuan, you haven't been able to make it outside, have you? So now you're looking for an excuse to come back."
"Mom."
Lin Qingwan still wanted to persuade her, "After all, Xiao Xuan is our blood relative, our closest kin. Maybe..."
"What blood relative?" Jiang Shuqin said with a grim expression, "It was he who chose to leave the Lin family and sever ties with us. And it was also he who exposed Lin Li and Qin Ruoyao's affair at Li'er's birthday banquet!"
"Moreover, my child was also cursed by him!"
"Such an ungrateful son, I, Jiang Shuqin, cannot afford to keep!"
Son?
Lin Xuan raised an eyebrow.
Was Jiang Shuqin referring to the child in her womb that was killed by Lin Li?
It seems he was being framed for this.
But he had been framed many times before, one more wouldn't make a difference.
If he were to reveal those pieces of evidence now, Lin Li would surely be driven out of the Lin family.
But then his plan to have Lin Li bring down the Lin family would not come to fruition.
The spectacle he wanted to witness was the Lin family watching helplessly as the son and brother they had doted on since childhood brought about their downfall.
To kill and then to torment the heart, that's what makes it interesting, isn't it?
Lin Qingwan pursed her lips, "Mom, Xiao Xuan she..."
"Lin Qingwan, you shut up!"
Jiang Shuqin scolded with a grim face, "I've long noticed that you often speak up for Lin Xuan. Before I could turn a blind eye, but now you insist on opposing me in front of Lin Xuan?"
Lin Qingwan's eyes were red, and her heart ached terribly.
Mom really harbors too much hostility towards Xiao Xuan.
She had previously hoped to mend the relationship between Xiao Xuan and Mom.
But Mom loves Li'er and the child in her belly so much. Xiao Xuan first humiliated Li'er at the birthday banquet and ruined the cooperation with the Shen family.
Later, Mom's child was beaten out of her by thugs, and Mom felt it was Xiao Xuan's curse.
Mom's prejudice against Xiao Xuan is really getting deeper and deeper.
What could she possibly do to dispel Mom's hostility towards Xiao Xuan?
"Xiao Xuan."
Lin Qingwan walked up to Lin Xuan and whispered, "You came back today because you still have feelings for this family, don't you?"
"Don't mind the hurtful words Mom says, deep down she still cares about you. As long as you apologize and say some nice words to Mom, she will accept you."
Lin Xuan glanced at Lin Qingwan, "Who said I wanted to come back?"
Lin Qingwan's heart sank.
Indeed, Xiao Xuan's return home was not a genuine desire to come back.
"Then Xiao Xuan, is there something you need?" Lin Qingwan tried to soften her tone, wanting Xiao Xuan to know that there are still people in this family who care about him.
"Xiao Xuan, if there's anything you need help with, just tell your elder sister, and I will help you."
"Also, about your girlfriend last time, I'm sorry, I was too impulsive."
Lin Qingwan still looked down on Su Hua.
But now she could only apologize first, otherwise Xiao Xuan would hold a grudge against her for the hotel incident.
Jiang Shuqin scolded, "Lin Qingwan, haven't you seen his attitude towards you? Why are you still offering to help him?"
"Isn't he capable enough? Doesn't he need the Lin family anymore? Then let him fend for himself outside!"
Lin Qingwan clenched her fists.
A strong sense of helplessness welled up in her heart,
She could only place her hopes on Lin Xuan again, "Xiao Xuan..."
Lin Qingwan grabbed Lin Xuan's arm.
Lin Xuan impatiently shook her off.
"I don't need your help."
"I said, I just want to take you to see a good show."
"Mrs. Jiang."
Lin Xuan looked at Jiang Shuqin and smiled, "This good show is related to you, and even more so to your good friend and your good husband."
Jiang Shuqin's brows were tightly knit.
What exactly does Lin Xuan want to do?
"Speak, what is it? I'd like to hear what nonsense you can come up with." Jiang Shuqin sneered.
Lin Xuan had been away from the Lin family for so long, she simply didn't believe that Lin Xuan could know anything about the Lin family's affairs.
Lin Xuan crossed his legs and spoke leisurely, "Your good husband has been cheating on you, with your good friend, Wang Yajun."
Jiang Shuqin and Lin Qingwan were both stunned.
Jiang Shuqin came back to her senses and sneered, "Lin Xuan, it seems you're still incorrigible. Do you want to stir up trouble in this family until it's in complete chaos before you're satisfied?"
"You don't believe me?" Lin Xuan raised an eyebrow.
"Believe?" Jiang Shuqin scoffed, "You can't even make up a convincing lie? My husband would never cheat on me."
Brother Lin Chang loves her so much, how could he possibly cheat?
Those women who tried to get close to him and seduce him were always dealt with cleanly by him.
She believes he would remain faithful.
"As for Yajun, she would never hook up with my husband. She has a husband she deeply loves, how could she possibly cheat with my husband? Lin Xuan, do you think I would believe such a random lie you made up?"
Lin Xuan nodded, "It's hard to believe."
"So..." Lin Xuan smiled, "Today I just want to take you to Wang Yajun's house, so you can see for yourself how affectionate your good friend and your good husband are."
"Xiao Xuan." Lin Qingwan frowned, "I've been working at the company. If Secretary Wang and Dad really had something, I couldn't possibly not notice anything."
"Are you perhaps mistaken?"
Lin Xuan was in a good mood today, unusually patient, "I'll say it again, I'm taking you to see the live version of the good show."
"Whether what I say is true or not will be clear then."
Lin Qingyan, wearing sunglasses, had also returned, she came back to fetch something.
She vaguely heard voices from the dining room and frowned, "Do we have guests?"
She thought she heard Lin Xuan's voice?
The servant answered, "The young master has returned."
"Lin Xuan?"
Lin Qingyan frowned.
Has Lin Xuan returned today because he couldn't make it outside and wants to come back to the Lin family?
No.
She can't let him come back, seeing him at home would ruin her mood.
Moreover, Li'er would also get the wrong idea.
Lin Qingyan walked into the dining room.
"I disagree!"
Lin Qingyan went straight to Jiang Shuqin's side, "Mom, I disagree with Lin Xuan returning to this family."
"Miss Lin, aren't you being a bit presumptuous? When did I say I wanted to come back?" Lin Xuan said mockingly.
"Not coming back?" Lin Qingyan frowned, "Then what is he here for?"
Lin Qingwan briefly explained the situation to Lin Qingyan.
"Xiao Yan, Xiao Xuan says that Dad is having an affair with Aunt Wang."
