Around three in the afternoon, Xu Lin drove into the villa area where Rong Xiyi’s family lives.

Then, the car stopped outside her family’s villa.

However, Xu Lin parked outside the gate instead of entering the garage, as he was just going to sit for a while before leaving.

Coincidentally, although Jiang Mingyang wasn’t home today, Rong Xiyi’s stepmother, her brother, and sister were all there.

There were also a few other girls, friends of Rong Xiyi’s sister.

But they were just nobodies to Xu Lin, and he didn’t pay attention to them.

To Xu Lin, even the stepmother and others were just nobodies.

The three of them immediately recognized Xu Lin, because he had met them at a private dining restaurant at the end of last year.

Someone as outstanding as Xu Lin is hard to forget once you’ve met him.

Especially the stepmother, as Jiang Mingyang had mentioned this young man several times later on, saying he’d be something else in the future, and he already was. 𝚏𝗿𝗲𝐞𝐰𝚎𝕓𝐧𝚘𝘃𝗲𝐥.𝐜𝚘𝕞

So the stepmother remembered him clearly.

"Excuse me, what is your relationship with my daughter..."

"She is my god-sister, that is, my family. She used to live at my place."

Xu Lin came here without any formalities.

He walked in with full force, totally pumped up.

As soon as he entered the living room, he sat down on the sofa.

However, Xu Lin didn’t sit down with an air of arrogance, or like a debt-collector from the mafia coming to collect.

He naturally sat on the sofa, but because of his strong aura and presence, he seemed like the real master of the house.

Snap!

Xu Lin even lit a cigarette.

On the coffee table in front of the sofa, there was an ashtray; it wasn’t clear whether Jiang Mingyang or his son used it.

Rong Xiyi’s brother was named Jiang Peng, and her sister was Jiang Lin.

At this moment, Jiang Lin proactively poured tea for Xu Lin.

It wasn’t because Jiang Lin was polite to guests; it was simply because Xu Lin was handsome, had excellent appearance, and because he was Mr. Xu, whom Jiang Lin recognized.

With multiple buffers stacked up, serving tea was just normal, a girl showing initiative towards an outstanding guy.

On the other hand, Jiang Peng didn’t like Xu Lin, as Jiang Peng was a few months older than Xu Lin, now twenty years old. He felt Xu Lin was acting too high and mighty at his place, which was intolerable.

"Hey, what are you doing here?"

He questioned.

Xu Lin glanced at him and said calmly, "I brought Yanyan home and stopped by for a chat. Also, I don’t care for your tone; if your dad was here, he’d probably make you call me Uncle Xu."

Jiang Peng: ...

Uncle Xu?

Instantly, he felt like flaring up.

Stepmother Qian Suyun said to him, "Pengpeng, go out and play, mom will have a talk with him."

Old ginger is spicier; Qian Suyun wasn’t a foolish woman.

"Mr. Xu, can I have a word with you?"

"Sure."

Xu Lin also wanted to chat with her.

During the conversation, Xu Lin silently used his tool to expose her dirty secrets.

It was his first time using this tool.

What dirt did Qian Suyun have?

Xu Lin scanned and found quite a bit, including how she schemed against others to become the student council president in college.

But Xu Lin wasn’t interested in these messy details.

Or the matter between Qian Suyun and Rong Xiyi’s mother, where she approached and befriended her, clearly targeting the golden opportunity, Jiang Mingyang, eventually becoming a wealthy wife, hence the saying to be wary of best friends.

But Xu Lin wasn’t interested in this either.

These kinds of things don’t cause her any substantial harm now.

Furthermore, upon summarizing this dirt, Xu Lin knew this woman is one who climbs up by any means necessary.

Such people, regardless of gender, have a cold-hearted base character; bringing up past events is useless, morally condemning them means nothing. Who from the bottom climbs up by adhering to morals?

What caught Xu Lin’s attention was that Qian Suyun secretly transferred assets totaling over fifteen billion to her brother’s account.

A brother-adorer?

Not necessarily.

An official’s money isn’t in their own name but in a relative’s; can it be said they favor relatives?

But these aren’t important.

The important thing is Suyun’s asset transfer.

"Mr. Xu, why are you here at my home?"

As they walked outside, Qian Suyun couldn’t help but ask.

"Just bringing Yanyan home, no big deal. But I’d like to emphasize that now Yanyan is my family. I don’t want her to be unhappy because of you all. I hold grudges."

"Mr. Xu comes straight with threats to a middle-aged woman? Isn’t that a bit inappropriate?"

Qian Suyun frowned, feeling uncomfortable being addressed with a threatening tone.

Xu Lin replied calmly, "Ms. Qian isn’t an average middle-aged woman, right? What’s with the fifteen billion in your brother’s account? It’s not something an ordinary middle-aged woman could pull off."

"I don’t know what you’re talking about."

Qian Suyun’s expression changed immediately.

"Ms. Qian, should I be blunt?"

Xu Lin continued, "But I didn’t come here to meddle in your affairs, I just want to say that Yanyan is my sister, my very important, important kin, do you understand what I mean?"

"I think I should understand." Qian Suyun lowered her head.

Xu Lin pursued, "You don’t fully understand yet. Your family has around two billion in assets, prominent outwardly as a local giant, but if I want, one call could convey a message, directly wiping out your family, so don’t try playing tricks with me."
