"From now on, I’ll contact you more often every day, and each ti I’ll make a video call, okay?" Xu Ke lowered his voice, softly coaxing Lin ngyao, hoping she wouldn’t be too upset.
"Okay, then rember to contact more often and make video calls every ti. Also, since I’m not by your side, you have to take good care of yourself. If I find out you’ve lost weight when I co back, I won’t talk to you. If you get too fat, I also won’t talk to you. Do you hear ?" Lin ngyao forced herself to suppress the sadness in her heart as she spoke.
"I won’t. I’ll take good care of myself. You also have to take good care of yourself at ho. If anyone bullies you, go find Xu Jie, got it? Even though the Lin Family is related to you by blood, they’re like leeches. Once they latch onto you, they’re hard to shake off. So, you have to protect yourself well, understand?" Xu Ke also kept reminding Lin ngyao over the phone, afraid that she would soften her heart and get entangled again by the Lin Family.
The two chatted over the phone for over two hours without realizing it, until one of their phones was about to run out of battery. Only then did they reluctantly say goodbye, "Wait for . I’ll solve the issues here as fast as I can, and then we can et. Just hang in there a little while longer," Xu Ke said.
"Mm, I will wait for you." Lin ngyao held back the reluctance in her heart and hung up the phone.
On the other side, Xu Ke hung up the phone, feeling a bit lost. The thought of returning to Luocheng grew stronger and was utterly uncontrollable.
"It seems this matter needs to be expedited," Xu Ke said softly.
Although Xu Ke had told Chu Lian he wouldn’t get involved in this matter, now he wanted to end this ga quickly. How could he not get involved?
Xu Ke directly hired a private investigator, who leaked information to a major Weibo influencer, detailing the grievances between the Lian and Chu families, while also providing photos of Lian Xuan with two won.
Wealth and power struggles are the kind of news the public loves the most. The influencer had barely posted it for half a day before it shot up to the top of Weibo’s hot search list. In addition, various insiders started sharing details, and one of them disclosed in detail how Lian Xuan had bankrupted his fiancée’s uterus for the sake of a minor actress in the entertainnt industry.
Chu Tianyang had never disclosed this information mainly to avoid causing his daughter further harm, but now that soone had already leaked it, Chu Tianyang naturally followed a businessman’s instincts, directly spending money to turn the issue into a Weibo trending topic and took Lian Xuan to court. The on-site video and Chu Lian’s injury report were enough for the Chu Family to win this battle.
As for the Lian Family, the heir caused such a scandal, inciting dissatisfaction among consurs and collaborators. How could you expect soone who treats his fiancée so viciously to be kind to others?
The Lian Family’s stock began a steady decline, falling to the limit for three consecutive days. A large number of shareholders scrambled to sell their shares, and at that ti, various forces madly bought in. Everyone wanted a slice of this big cake that is the Lian Family.
Compared to the negative impact this incident had on the Lian Family, it brought unquantifiable benefits to the Chu Family. In an instant, the Chu Family replaced the position that originally belonged to the Lian Family, making everyone’s eyes burn with envy. The Chu Family’s stock soared, which improved Chu Tianyang’s previously gloomy mood, allowing him to start smiling again.
The Lian Family went bankrupt overnight, casting an oppressive gloom over the household. A bank representative arrived in the living room and said to the gathered Lian Family mbers, "This house now belongs to the bank. We need to reclaim it now, so please pack your things and leave within half an hour. Otherwise, I will take legal action." The representative finished speaking and turned to wait outside.
The unrciful words from the representative made the Lian Family mbers’ faces grow grim. They had never been treated this way before. For a mont, all eyes in the room turned to Lian Xuan, filled with resentnt and poison.
Finally, soone in the room couldn’t hold back and aid their anger at Lian Xuan, "What sin did our Lian Family commit in our past life to give birth to such a jinx like you? You ruined our family for a woman, and not only did you ruin us, but you couldn’t even keep the woman. Hum, and you claim it was true love? Is this what true love looks like? She clung to you when you were wealthy, but the mont you fell, she turned her back on you without hesitation. This kind of true love is truly an eye-opener." Lian Xuan’s second aunt rolled her eyes as she spoke.
"Enough, now that things have turned out this way, what’s the point in saying anything more? Instead of complaining, you should hurry upstairs and pack your things, otherwise, do you want to walk out of the villa empty-handed, or would you prefer being invited to the station for tea?" the Lian elder knocked his cane forcefully as he spoke.
"Dad, our family has turned out like this because of Lian Xuan, and I can’t even complain? The Lian Family was ruined by this broomstick ghost, and you’re still protecting him. Isn’t he a descendent of the Lian Family, too? Are we not as well? You really are biased to the core." Lian’s second aunt said this, fuming, and turned upstairs to pack.
The others did not speak, but their gazes towards the Lian elder clearly showed dissatisfaction. Obviously, they were very angry with the Lian elder’s preferential treatnt, and their looks at Lian Xuan were more like those reserved for an enemy.
"I don’t know where you get the face, causing such a ss and still having the nerve to sit with us in the Lian Family," Lian’s second uncle dusted off nonexistent dirt from his pants and turned to follow his wife upstairs too.
Now, only the main branch of the Lian Family and the Lian elder were left in the living room. The Lian elder watched his second son’s departing back and sighed deeply, "You too, don’t just sit here. Go up and pack."
The main branch of the Lian Family nodded. The couple went upstairs hand in hand to pack. Although they used money to bail Lian Xuan out of the police station, avoiding jail ti, it didn’t an they forgave their son’s past actions. Every ti they saw Lian Xuan now, they felt a tightness in their chests and didn’t want to deal with him, even though he was their only son.
The Lian elder looked at Lian Xuan still sitting in the corner, emitting a gloomy aura, and his eyes showed impatience, "Are you done yet? A grown man whining like a woman, who are you showing this to? No one at ho is going to care for you now. If you don’t go pack, you won’t even have clothes to wear later."
