Su Family Manor.
Lin Xuan had just managed to clear up everyone's misunderstandings and was finally relieved when...
"Ding ding ding! Master, the phone is ringing~~"
(⊙⊙)?
Could it be her again???
Lin Xuan raised an eyebrow, took out his Huawei phone from his pocket, glanced at the screen, and his face immediately turned into a subway elder face.
What the heck?!
This woman just won't stop, will she!!!
Don't mess with me!
Lin Xuan originally wanted to hang up the phone immediately, but then he felt that it might make him seem guilty, especially when he noticed the two curious glances from beside him...
Forget it!
I'll just warn her one last time and then block her!
Thinking this, Lin Xuan answered the phone and, to show his innocence, switched it to speaker mode.
"Lin Xuan, it's me..."
"Let me make it clear first! No money, just a life."
"(Faint sobbing)..."
"(òωó?) Huh???"
No way! Is she already crying?
She has such a weak mental capacity!
If someone who didn't know the situation heard this, they'd think I did something even worse than a beast...
Not just Lin Xuan, but the others in the room were also stunned. (°ー°〃)
They thought Bai Susu was crying because she couldn't borrow money.
"Women are such a hassle! They can cry over such trivial things."
…..
At the door.
Su Fan had a neutral expression, hands in his pockets, and he was speechless inside.
This was one of the reasons he wasn't interested in women.
Instead of spending time trying to comfort them, it would be better to focus that time on cultivation and reach the peak of martial arts sooner.
"Oni-chan~~~"
"How can you bully a girl? Girls are the most beautiful beings in this world~~"
In contrast to Su Fan's attitude of annoyance, Chen Kexin was completely different.
She covered her plain chest, a trace of sympathy flashed across her small face, and she glared at Lin Xuan.
She signaled him to be gentler and to pay attention to the tone when talking to girls.
Lin Xuan: "......"
Did you forget that just now you were treating her as a mistress and acting all indignant?
Why the sympathy now?!
As expected...
Women are just fickle; even a childish brat isn't immune to the clichés.
…..
At this moment.
On the other end of the phone, Bai Susu seemed to have adjusted her emotions, her tone became steady again, and she made her request.
"Lin Xuan, I want to... ask you for Lord Tiger's contact information."
"Lord Tiger? Oh, Zhao Hu! What do you need him for?"
Lin Xuan was a little surprised and didn't understand what Bai Susu was trying to do?!
He remembered that in the original plot, Bai Susu didn't seem to have much of a connection with Zhao Hu...
"I want to ask him if he could... extend the repayment deadline."
"Naive, do you think Zhao Hu would agree to that?"
"I want to try, but now we really can't afford the money. So... so I plan to offer my body (censored)....."
"???"
Bai Susu stammered and revealed her plan, leaving Lin Xuan and the others stunned.
Is this girl's brain underdeveloped or something?!
How could she even come up with such an absurd idea???
"No, no, no, I don't agree!!!"
The first to react was Chen Kexin...
She frantically pulled on her pigtails, her face full of resistance and panic.
"This is too disgusting! Instead of giving that disgusting old man a chance, why not give it to me?!"
"This is like a toad with swan meat, just thinking about it makes my heart hurt!"
"......."
.....
Because she had seen Zhao Hu's bald head before at Tiancheng Entertainment KTV.
Just thinking about Bai Susu's innocent face, the image of her being pressed under that ugly monster made Chen Kexin feel like she would explode if she thought about it any longer...
This is simply a waste of a treasure!!!
…..
At the door.
Su Fan frowned, hands in his pockets.
After hearing the contents of the call, he finally understood who Bai Susu was.
That day at Tiancheng Entertainment KTV, he had also met her briefly...
To learn that she wanted to extend the repayment deadline by offering herself?
Such a self-disrespecting action?!
It's simply foolish!
Su Fan didn't feel the slightest bit of sympathy for Bai Susu's actions; he just thought her self-pitying behavior was utterly foolish...
…..
On the sickbed.
Su Qingge also heard Bai Susu's thoughts through the speakerphone, and she too didn't understand...
'What on earth is that girl thinking?'
'Is she really treating her body as a bargaining tool?'
'Even if the family owes money, it's still a family matter. This kind of unilateral decision isn't very wise!'
'And if her family truly loves her, they would never agree to this.'
'If her family doesn't care, then there's no need to sacrifice herself for them.'
'Besides... someone like Zhao Hu, his words are like farts. How can his promises be trusted?'
'Unless you're stronger than him, this kind of method of showing weakness will only make him take more...'
.....
Su Qingge sighed inwardly.
Out of a sense of camaraderie between beautiful women, she didn't want Bai Susu to end up like this.
Among everyone present, only Lin Xuan still had an indifferent expression.
He stroked his chin and curiously asked.
"Why do you suddenly have this idea? Your family probably doesn't know, right?"
"Not to mention, your three brothers... They'd probably rather fight Zhao Hu than agree to you selling yourself."
"And you need 500 million, such a huge sum, it can't all be your family's debt. Most of it must be the Lin family's, right..."
"First, tell me what the Lin family is up to. Then I'll decide whether to give you the contact information."
"......"
…..
Based on Bai Susu's character, she values her purity quite a lot.
Just because of the debt collection, it shouldn't be enough to make her decide to "sacrifice" herself.
Her request was only to delay the repayment deadline, not to propose offsetting the debt.
Delaying time...
Considering her extremely naive and sweet personality, along with the information that Lin Xuan had already gathered.
Even though the "sacrifice" plot didn't appear in the original novel.
Lin Xuan still couldn't help but curve his lips in a playful smile.
It seemed he had figured it out...
…..
What could make Bai Susu willingly break her own principles...
Lin Group, headquarters entrance.
Bai Susu's face was filled with conflict. (ー′ー)
After all, the "Beauty Ointment" has side effects, and her uncle's plan to "rush towards money at all costs" could be considered a company secret.
She's not stupid.
These secrets...
Under normal circumstances, how could she just leak them out so easily?!
"Don't want to say? Then I'll hang up! The call charges are expensive."
"Wait... I'll tell you! It's because of my uncle, I don't want him to go down a path of crime..."
Hearing that Lin Xuan was about to hang up, Bai Susu panicked.
She couldn't care less about the "secrets" anymore.
Since it's a special time, I'll treat it specially.
So...
Bai Susu revealed everything about Lin Group's upcoming "crazy plan" from start to finish...
Lu Bingkun?
When Lin Xuan heard the name, he smiled.
He now understood what was behind all of this...
He figured out who was behind this.
Looking at the timing, the earlier storyline about the doomed young master of the Huo family was almost the right moment for this major villain to appear.
Perhaps due to the butterfly effect caused by him, the appearance of this person had come a little earlier than expected, but it wasn't a big deal.
Lin Xuan glanced at his brother-in-law at the door, with a calm expression.
With the protagonist in my hand, the world is mine. (??????)?
Big villains, little villains, line up and wait for your turn to get the big slap in the face, right?!
But Lin Jianjun actually wants to cash out and run away?
With me around, old man, you might as well wash up and sleep...
…..
At this moment.
Lin Xuan's focus was entirely on how to better show his "filial piety."
As for everyone else, they were all stunned by Bai Susu's "kindness."
They never expected...
The reason Bai Susu wanted to borrow money was actually because she didn't want to see the beauty ointment be leaked, which would cause more victims to appear, and she was even willing to sacrifice her body for it...
"Where did this treasure of a girl come from? o(╥﹏╥)o"
"I can't! I can't! My tears are coming out~~~"
"Such an angel??? ( ˊ?ˋ )??? I just want to snuggle and protect her!!!"
"Oni-chan, hurry up and help her. Borrow her the money! Or just let her offer herself to you, I agree, it's definitely better than offering herself to that bald freak!"
"I'll let her be my third wife! Then the four of us can have a full mahjong table and will never be bored."
"Such a great girl, we definitely have to make her ours! Oh no~~ I think I've fallen back into that damned love river~~"
"........"
…..
Chen Kexin's eyes reddened, she casually tossed the basketball to the ground and immediately wiped away her "little pearls" (tears).
Lin Xuan: "......"
Hey, hey, hey!
Qingge is still here, right?
You're already falling for someone else, abandoning me?
Who was just swearing not long ago that Su Qingge was the love of his life...
And what is this "four-person family" nonsense (?◇?)???
Monogamy is already beyond the limit, and now you want to add more people in, huh...
Lin Xuan was at a loss for words.
At this moment, he noticed the basketball that had rolled to his feet and solemnly picked it up, placing it to the side.
"Hmph! The peak welcomes hypocritical support, while dusk witnesses the true believers!"
"The real 'little black' will never abandon his basketball. As expected, this brat only cosplays the surface, a total fake blackie."
…..
At the door.
Su Fan had his hands in his pockets, his expression slightly more complicated.
Bai Susu's words shocked him a little.
Having traveled across the country for many years, he had seen too much backstabbing and scheming.
But someone as good-hearted to the point of being almost foolish like Bai Susu was someone he had never encountered before.
Sacrificing herself for others?
Su Fan thought for a moment and realized that if it were him... he wouldn't be able to do that at all?!
His life motto was: "I'd rather be the one to wrong the world, than let the world wrong me."
Except for a few people he cared about, he didn't care at all about the lives of others.
However, even though he couldn't become someone like that...
But when encountering such a person in reality, Su Fan still respected them.
He couldn't help but feel a bit ashamed of his previous assumptions.
Perhaps, if the opportunity arises...
I might be able to help her...
After all, it's just a matter of a few words.
Zhao Hu still wouldn't dare to deny me this favor.
If he doesn't give it, then I'll just kill him.
For someone like Su Fan, who pursued the peak of martial arts...
It's all about having clear thoughts, and only with this kind of mindset can cultivation continue to progress.
To achieve this goal, killing is just a trivial matter...
…..
On the other side.
"Lin Xuan, I won't borrow money from you, but could you... give me Lord Tiger's contact information?"
Upon hearing Bai Susu's follow-up question.
Lin Xuan thought for a moment, already having a strategy in mind.
Just as he was about to respond to Bai Susu's question, he felt a tingling sensation in his palm.
He looked down and saw Su Qingge's little hand drawing shapes in his palm.
'Help her.'
Seeing these words, Lin Xuan couldn't help but smile.
It seemed his recent companionship had been somewhat useful.
Su Qingge's character had at least crumbled halfway...
If she were the cold and domineering CEO from the original plot, she would have thought Bai Susu was foolish in dealing with this matter.
As for feeling pity?
The self-pitying her would think that the person who became a vegetative state is the most pitiable and unfair in the world...
But now, she was asking him for help because of Bai Susu, something the original version of her would never have done.
And she directly asked him to help, which was also a sign of trust in his abilities...
But actually, none of this matters...
The most important thing is that his wife spoke up.
It's the first time she's asked him to do something, so what else is there to say? ┐(?～?)┌
Even if the path ahead is a mountain of knives or a sea of flames, he must flatten it!
Lin Xuan smiled but didn't respond.
Instead, he slowly wrote a word in Su Qingge's palm: 'Okay.'
Receiving Lin Xuan's signal, Su Qingge's previously anxious heart finally settled.
She was really afraid Lin Xuan would think she was meddling and become annoyed with her.
But she couldn't help it...
At the moment when she heard Bai Susu's true feelings.
For some reason, Su Qingge suddenly wanted to help her.
But she couldn't intervene personally and had to seek Lin Xuan's help.
The reason she wanted to help the other person...
Perhaps it was because in Bai Susu, Su Qingge saw the complete opposite of herself...
She's a good girl, so pure that it makes Su Qingge almost unable to look at her directly.
Because it made Su Qingge feel dirty about herself.
Over the years, in order to achieve her goals, she had used all means and done many terrifying things in private.
Her hands were already stained with sin.
Her future was destined to be dark.
She...
She would eventually end up in hell...
