Chapter 141: Remember My Name, Brother Lin Xuan
“Breaking off the engagement with Li’er just because of some incomprehensible little video, I think she’s just fallen for another man and is using this as an excuse to break it off!”
In Jiang Shuqin’s eyes, the Shen family was making a mountain out of a molehill.
Lin Chang didn’t bother to deal with Jiang Shuqin, giving a deep-voiced command, “Kneel before me!”
“Bang—” Lin Li’s knees hit the ground hard.
“Dad, I’m sorry.” Lin Li said hoarsely.
“Speak, Lin Li, what exactly is going on here? What’s your relationship with this woman?” Lin Chang pointed at Qin Ruoyao.
Lin Li had already prepared his words; he lowered his head as if ready to spill everything. “Once, after drinking, I felt dizzy. When I woke up, I found myself sleeping next to Qin Ruoyao.”
“Later, she used those photos and videos to force me to be with her. If I refused, she would tell Mom, Dad, Sister, and Qianqian about my infidelity.”
“I was afraid you all would find out, that you’d think ill of my character and dislike me, so I had no choice but to comply with her demands.”
Qin Ruoyao widened her eyes in disbelief.
Why was Brother Li slandering her like this?
Lin Li’s face was filled with anguish, tears streaming down nonstop.
“I’m sorry, I was wrong, it’s me who has disgraced our family.” Lin Li said painfully with red eyes.
Seeing his pitiful state, his several sisters and Jiang Shuqin were heartbroken.
Jiang Shuqin took out a tissue, tenderly wiping away his tears.
“Li’er, Mother believes in you.”
“Dad,” Lin Qingyan pleaded, “Let it go, Xiaoli didn’t mean it.”
Lin Chang’s expression gradually relaxed.
Indeed, based on Li’er’s character, he would never do something so disgraceful.
After all, Li’er was also a victim, and he was suffering too.
“Get up.” Lin Chang took a deep breath, looking like he no longer blamed Lin Li.
Brother Lin Xuan watched all of this with mockery.
He had foreseen this outcome.
Given their affection for Lin Li, they would believe whatever he said.
The plan he designed today wasn’t to stir up trouble between Lin Li and the Lin family.
It was to destroy Lin Li’s engagement with the Shen family, deal with Qin Ruoyao, and let everyone see Lin Li’s true colors.
Jiang Shuqin suddenly became emotionally agitated, “I know who you are now!”
“You’re Qin Ruoyao, the same woman who married Lin Xuan back then. You two must have conspired together to frame Li’er.”
The Lin family members all looked at Lin Xuan, who was calmly sipping wine.
Seeing this, Lin Xuan leisurely put down his wine glass and retrieved his phone.
Luo Yuan, who was on a video call with Lin Xuan: “!!!!”
Where’s the video?
He was enjoying it so much, and now it’s just… gone?
Burn!
Nothing worse than having your drama interrupted right when it gets exciting!
Lin Xuan smirked, “You’re not wrong. Today’s video was my doing.”
“Lin Li, didn’t I say I’d give you a big present? Here it is,” Lin Xuan raised an eyebrow, “I wonder if my little brother likes this big present?”
“It’s definitely you!”
Jiang Shuqin glared at Lin Xuan, “How cruel-hearted you are! Lin Xuan, are you trying to kill Li’er?”
“Yes, I am trying to ruin him. Not only him, but all of you too.” Lin Xuan didn’t deny it, looking defiant.
He would make them destitute and shatter their harmonious family ties.
“Shen Brother, calm down,” Lin Chang advised.
Shen Father shouted loudly, “Lin Li doesn’t maintain his integrity, my daughter will absolutely not be with such a man. Starting now, Qianqian and Lin Li’s engagement is canceled!”
“From now on, bridges remain bridges, roads remain roads, there is no relation whatsoever.”
Shen Qianqian’s eyes were full of excitement.
Her identity wouldn’t be Lin Li’s fiancée anymore, which meant she could openly be with Lin Xuan.
Shen Qianqian quickly glanced at Lin Xuan, blushing coyly.
Lin Xuan’s alarm bells rang.
He seriously suspected he would be stalked by Shen Qianqian!
Lin Li clenched his fists tightly.
Shen Qianqian was Shen Mao’s only daughter, a scatterbrain. After marrying her, once Shen Mao passed away, with some proper maneuvering, the Shen Group would surely become his!
Now all of that was ruined.
“Also, all cooperation between the Shen Group and the Starlight Group ends immediately!” Shen Father said expressionlessly.
Lin Chang’s heart skipped a beat.
To expand, the Starlight Group had collaborated extensively with the Shen Group, investing tens of billions. If these collaborations were truly terminated, those tens of billions would essentially be wasted.
This would be a severe blow to the Starlight Group!
“Shen Brother, why don’t we discuss this further? Even if we can’t become in-laws, we can still be business partners. We shouldn’t let the kids’ issues cause losses for both our companies, right?” Lin Chang persuaded.
Shen Father chuckled coldly, “Our Shen Group invests technology, not much capital, just a few billion dollars, which is pocket change for us. Cancelling the partnership might hurt you, but it won’t affect us much.”
Lin Chang stumbled slightly.
The rift between the Lin family and the Shen family was set in stone.
“Qianqian, let’s go.” Shen Father said solemnly.
“Okay.” Shen Qianqian nodded.
When she walked past Lin Xuan, she smiled shyly, “Big Brother Lin Xuan, remember my name, I’m Shen Qianqian.”
Lin Xuan: “!!!”
His heart finally gave up.
A rotten peach blossom!
Old Master Huang also said, “Lin Li, you don’t need to attend the master-apprentice ceremony the day after tomorrow.”
He wouldn’t accept someone with bad morals.
Lin Li swayed unsteadily.
Old Master Huang, a big shot in the computer world with numerous connections, had been difficult to get noticed by, and now he wanted to take Lin Li as a student.
Ruined, everything’s ruined…
Shen Father, Shen Qianqian, and Old Master Huang left. The other guests continued serving until they were all gone.
“You useless thing!” Lin Chang trembled with anger, raising his hand to slap Lin Li.
“With this incident, everyone’s laughing at us!”
Enraged, Lin Chang’s face turned bright red. He gritted his teeth and said word by word, “And the Shen family, breaking the alliance marriage, terminating the partnership—do you even realize how much loss this brings to our family?”
Jiang Shuqin protectively shielded Lin Li behind her, “Why are you hitting Li’er? Was this something Li’er wanted to happen today?”
“Don’t talk about misunderstandings. Even if what happened between Li’er and Qin Ruoyao is true, so what? She’s just a mistress anyway, the marriage partner is still Shen Qianqian!”
“Isn’t Li’er usually good to Shen Qianqian?”
