Chapter 171

Chapter 171: Brother Lin Xuan is single

All of us in the Lin family know that during this time, he should have been living with the woman who keeps him.”

“Ho ho ho.” Shen Qianqian gave a cold laugh. “Lin Li, you’re trying to fool me? I know your intentions. Your ex-fiance married your brother, and you feel humiliated, so you want to break us apart.”

“Qianqian, believe me, I haven’t done anything like that. Everything I’ve said is true,” Lin Li urged anxiously.

“If what you say is true, then where are the photos of Lin Xuan and that woman together?” Shen Qianqian raised her chin.

Lin Li clenched his fists tightly.

Where would he get such photos?

Only the last photo taken by his elder sister exists, but it just shows Lin Xuan as a blurry back figure.

Seeing Lin Li’s reaction, Shen Qianqian became even more certain of her thoughts.

Brother Lin Xuan doesn’t have a woman keeping him, nor does he have a girlfriend.

“Lin Li, in the future, Lin Xuan and I will be affectionate right in front of you. And I’ll help Lin Xuan take over Starlight Group.”

Shen Qianqian spoke arrogantly, “As for you, Lin Li, I’ll kick you out of the Lin family. This is the consequence of your betrayal.”

“Someone, show our guest out.”

Lin Li was kicked out of the Shen residence.

His mind was filled with what Shen Qianqian said—helping Lin Xuan take over Starlight Group and kicking him out of the Lin family.

Lin Xuan has changed.

If Lin Xuan really marries Shen Qianqian, with the backing of the Shen Group, and Lin Xuan hates him so much, he won’t have good days ahead.

No way.

He absolutely cannot let Lin Xuan and Shen Qianqian get together.

Since it doesn’t work with Shen Qianqian, he can only find Su Hua—the woman who keeps Lin Xuan.

He must tell Su Hua about this before Lin Xuan leaves her.

But…

Lin Li looked completely defeated.

He had no way to contact Su Hua, nor could he easily see her. How was he supposed to tell her about this?

Ever since Shen Qianqian came to the Lin family, Lin Chang had been trying every possible way to contact Lin Xuan. However, Lin Xuan had changed his phone number, and Lin Chang didn’t know where he lived either.

Lin Chang could only go to Shangqing University to look for Lin Xuan.

Lin Chang drove up, wanting to enter Shangqing University.

Unexpectedly, when he arrived at the school gate, the iron gate remained closed.

Lin Chang got out of the car.

“I’m Lin Chang from Starlight Group. In the past, I donated a building to Shangqing University, and the school granted me the authority to enter anytime.”

The security guard respectfully replied, “Sir, our system was recently upgraded, and it might have missed your record. Let me check again. Please wait a moment.”

However, no matter how the security guard searched, there was no record granting Lin Chang access.

Yet, seeing Lin Chang’s attire and car, the guard thought he wasn’t a scammer.

So,

The security guard called his superior, “Director, there’s someone named Lin Chang who says he has the right to enter the school, but I can’t find any record.”

“Tell him he has no access rights,” the director replied.

This was personally instructed by Su Zong herself—not to allow anyone from the Lin family into the school.

After hanging up, the school director shook his head.

The Lin family has lost a great fortune.

Had they treated Lin Xuan better instead of publicly cutting ties with him on all platforms, the Lin family would surely rise to prominence through Suzhou Group.

The security guard returned to Lin Chang.

“Did you ask your superior?” Lin Chang coldly snorted.

“Yes, I did.” The security guard nodded, intending to continue.

Lin Chang sternly interrupted, “Since you’ve asked, why aren’t you opening the gate yet? I need to urgently go inside to find my son.”

“Sir,” the security guard awkwardly replied, “Our director said you don’t have access rights.”

Thank you to users 9204, 65468145, and other precious patrons for their gifts.

Patrons, good night!

“No.” The bodyguard lowered his head, trembling nervously, “I only found out that he indeed has a girlfriend, but I couldn’t find any information about her.”

“Didn’t find anything?” Shen Qianqian’s eyebrows furrowed tightly, “How is that possible?”

With the strength of their Shen family, how could they fail to uncover someone’s identity information?

There’s only one possibility…

“I understand!”

Shen Qianqian’s eyes sparkled brightly, “Brother Lin Xuan doesn’t have a girlfriend! He pretended to have one and wore a ring on his left middle finger indicating he’s in a relationship, just to create the illusion that he has a girlfriend.”

Brother Lin Xuan went through the ordeal with Qin Ruoyao, leaving emotional scars, so he avoided women like snakes and scorpions. That’s why he used this method to keep those women away from him.

Yes, it must be this way!

She could give Brother Lin Xuan enough warmth.

Then Brother Lin Xuan would easily fall in love with her and treat her with extra care.

Shen Qianqian’s eyes grew brighter as she began to plan in her mind.

The first step is to help Brother Lin Xuan reconcile with the Lin family and return home.

That way, she could approach Brother Lin Xuan as his fiancée.

Thinking of this,

Shen Qianqian slightly frowned.

She didn’t know how Lin Bafu and Lin Xuan’s conversation was going.

At this moment, a servant hurried into the living room.

“Miss, Master Lin Li from the Lin family says he has an urgent matter to discuss with you,” the servant respectfully reported.

Shen Qianqian sneered, “Does Lin Li still have the nerve to come see me?”

“Miss, shall we drive him away?” the servant asked.

“No need,” Shen Qianqian’s eyes were full of disdain, “He probably came to apologize and seek my forgiveness. Let him in.”

Lin Li entered the Shen family living room.

Shen Qianqian sat on the sofa, speaking haughtily:

“Lin Li, let me tell you, you dirty man who cheats freely and sleeps with every woman you meet, I, Shen Qianqian, will never accept you, not to mention that you’ve made me lose face.”

“No matter how you beg me, I will never restore our engagement.”

Listening to Shen Qianqian’s insults, Lin Li’s eyes darkened.

If he didn’t have something important to do, he wouldn’t stay here to endure her insults.

Lin Li suppressed his anger and looked remorseful, saying, “Qianqian, I truly love you. At that time, I was drugged, and I accidentally slept with Qin Ruoyao. She then used the video of us to threaten me. I was afraid she’d reveal the video, and you’d leave me, so…”

Lin Li choked, seemingly unable to continue.

He shook his head bitterly, “Anyway, regardless of the reason, I betrayed you. I don’t have the face to ask for your forgiveness or request you to marry me.”

“So why did you come?” Shen Qianqian frowned.

Lin Li pressed his lips, “I heard from Dad that the arranged marriage might be switched to you and my brother.”

“So?” Shen Qianqian crossed her arms.

“Qianqian, ever since Lin Xuan left the Lin family, he’s been kept by a woman. Lin Xuan may be my brother, but Qianqian, I’ve already wronged you, and I can’t stand watching you jump into the fire,” Lin Li appeared concerned for Shen Qianqian.

“You say Lin Xuan is being kept?” Shen Qianqian frowned.

Lin Li nodded, “Yes, these…
