111: My wife has spoken, so even if there are mountains of swords and seas of fire ahead, we must flatten them.

Su Family Manor.

Lin Xuan had just managed to clear up everyone's misunderstanding and was about to breathe a sigh of relief when… “Ding-a-ling! Master, you have a call~~”

⊙_⊙?

It couldn’t be her again, could it???

Brother Lin Xuan raised an eyebrow, pulled out his Huawei phone, glanced at the screen, and instantly his face became like that of an old man on the subway.

Good heavens?!

This woman is endless, isn’t she!!!

Don’t mess with me!

Brother Lin Xuan originally wanted to hang up directly, but then he felt that it would make him seem like he had something to hide, especially when he noticed the two pairs of 'gossiping' eyes on him again… Forget it!

He’d warn her one last time, then just block her!

Thinking this, Brother Lin Xuan answered the phone, and to show his honesty, he pressed the speakerphone mode.

“Brother Lin Xuan, it’s me…”

“Let me say this first! No money, only my life.”

“(Subtle sobbing sounds)… ”

“ÒωÓ ױ Hmm???”

No way! She’s already crying little pearls?

Is her psychological tolerance that bad?

If someone who didn’t know heard this, they’d think I did something inhumane… Not only was Brother Lin Xuan dumbfounded, but the other people present were also stunned. (°ー°〃)

They all thought Bai Susu was crying because she couldn’t borrow money.

“Women are such a hassle! They can cry over such a small thing.”

At the door.

Su Fan was expressionless, hands in his pockets, feeling utterly speechless.

This was also one of the reasons why he wasn't interested in women.

Instead of spending time coaxing them, it would be better to focus on cultivation and reach the peak of martial arts sooner.

“Onii-chan~~~”

“How can you bully a girl? Girls are the most beautiful creatures in this world~~”

In stark contrast to Su Fan’s annoyance, Chen Kexin reacted completely differently.

She clutched her modest chest, a hint of unbearable pain flashing across her small face, and glared at Brother Lin Xuan.

She gestured for him to be gentler and to watch his tone when speaking to girls.

Brother Lin Xuan: “…”

Did you forget that just a moment ago you were treating her as a mistress, looking all righteous and indignant?

Now you’re looking sympathetic, what’s going on?!

Sure enough… women are fickle, even little kids with chuunibyou can’t avoid it.

And at this moment.

Bai Susu on the other end of the line seemed to have composed herself, her tone becoming stable again as she stated her request.

“Brother Lin Xuan, I want to… ask you for Uncle Zhao Hu’s contact information.”

“Uncle Zhao Hu? Oh, Zhao Hu! What do you need him for?”

Brother Lin Xuan was slightly surprised, not understanding what Bai Susu was trying to pull?!

He remembered that in the original plot, she didn’t seem to have any connection with Zhao Hu… “I want to ask him if he can… extend the repayment period.”

“Naive, do you think Zhao Hu would agree?”

“I want to try. My family really can’t come up with the money now. So… so I plan to use my body (redacted)…”

“???”

Bai Susu, stammering, explained her plan, which completely stunned Brother Lin Xuan and the others.

Is this girl’s cerebellum not fully developed?!

How could she even come up with such an outrageous method???

“No, no, no, I don’t agree!!!”

The first to react was Chen Kexin… She desperately pulled at her twin pigtails, her face full of frantic resistance.

“It’s too despicable! Rather than benefiting that disgusting old man, why not benefit me instead?!”

“This is simply a toad wanting to eat swan meat, just thinking about it breaks my heart!”

“…”

Because she had seen that bald old Zhao Hu at Tiancheng Entertainment KTV before.

The thought of Bai Susu’s innocent face, tear-streaked, being pressed down by that ugly man, made Chen Kexin feel like she would explode if she thought about it any longer… This was simply a waste of heavenly resources!!!

At the door.

Su Fan frowned, hands in his pockets.

After hearing the conversation, he finally understood who Bai Susu was.

He had met her once at Tiancheng Entertainment KTV that day… He learned that she was actually planning to sacrifice herself to delay the repayment period?

Such a disrespectful act towards herself?!

Simply foolish!

Su Fan didn’t feel the slightest pity or sympathy for Bai Susu’s actions; he only found her self-pitying behavior incredibly foolish… On the hospital bed.

Su Qingge also learned of Bai Susu’s idea through the speakerphone, and she likewise found it very difficult to understand… [What is that girl thinking?]

[Treating her own body as a bargaining tool?]

[Even if her family owes money and can’t pay it back, that’s a family matter. This kind of self-serving action isn’t very smart!]

[And if her family truly loved her, they wouldn’t agree to such a thing.]

[If her family doesn’t care, then there’s even less reason to sacrifice herself for such a family.]

[Besides… someone like Zhao Hu, his words are like farts. How can his promises be trusted?]

[Unless you’re stronger than him, this method of showing weakness will only make him take an inch and ask for a mile… ]

…Su Qingge sighed in her heart.

Out of mutual admiration between beautiful women, she didn’t want Bai Susu to end up like that.

Of everyone present, only Brother Lin Xuan remained indifferent.

He stroked his chin, asking curiously.

“Why did you suddenly have such an idea? Your family shouldn’t know, right!”

“Putting everything else aside, just your three older brothers… they would probably rather fight Zhao Hu to the death than agree to you selling yourself.”

“And it’s 500 million, such a huge amount, it can’t all be your Bai Family’s debt. Most of it must be the Lin Family’s…”

“First tell me what the Lin Family is up to? Then I’ll consider whether to give you his contact information?”

“…”

Given Bai Susu’s character setting, she valued her chastity very much.

Simply because of debt collection, it shouldn’t have been enough to make her decide to “sacrifice herself.”

And her request was only to extend the repayment period, not to offset the debt.

Extending time, huh… Combining this extremely naive personality with the information he had foresightedly acquired.

Even though this “sacrifice” plotline had not appeared in the original novel.

Brother Lin Xuan’s lips still curved into a playful smile.

He seemed to have guessed… what could make Bai Susu willingly break her principles… At the entrance of Lin Corporation headquarters.

Bai Susu’s face was full of conflict. (ー`´ー)

After all, the side effects of the beauty cream, and Uncle’s plan to “go all out for money,” were considered corporate secrets.

She wasn’t stupid.

These secrets… under normal circumstances, how could they be leaked so casually?!

“Don’t want to talk? Then I’m hanging up! Phone calls are expensive.”

“Wait… I’ll tell you, I’ll tell you! Actually, it’s because of Uncle, I don’t want him to go down the path of crime…”

Hearing Brother Lin Xuan about to hang up, Bai Susu suddenly panicked.

She no longer cared about any “secrets.”

Since it was a special time, it should be treated specially.

And so.

Bai Susu recounted the Lin Corporation’s impending “crazy plan” from beginning to end… Lu Bingkun?

Hearing that name, Brother Lin Xuan smiled.

He finally knew… who was causing trouble behind the scenes.

Counting the time, the early-stage cannon fodder young master from the Huo Family was indeed about to be followed by the appearance of this early-stage major villain.

Perhaps due to the butterfly effect he had caused, the other party’s appearance was slightly earlier, but it wasn’t a big problem.

Brother Lin Xuan glanced at his brother-in-law at the door, his face calm.

With the protagonist in hand, the world is mine. (๑•̀ㅂ•́)و✧

What major villains, minor villains, they all line up and wait for a big slap?!

But that Lin Jianjun fellow, he actually wanted to make a quick buck and run?

With me here, you old man better wash up and go to sleep… At this moment.

Brother Lin Xuan’s focus was entirely on how to better achieve “filial piety from a loving father.”

And apart from him, everyone else present was stunned by Bai Susu’s “kindness.”

They never expected… Bai Susu’s reason for borrowing money was actually because she didn’t want to see the beauty cream released, leading to more victims, and she was even willing to sacrifice her body for it… “Where did this treasure girl come from? o(╥﹏╥)o”

“I can’t take it, I can’t take it! My tears are coming out~~~”

“Such an angel ⁽⁽ଘ(ˊᵕˋ)ଓ⁾⁾*, I really want to hug her and protect her!!!”

“Onii-chan, quickly help her. Quickly lend her money! Just let her sacrifice herself to you, I agree, it’s better than sacrificing herself to that bald old man!”

“At worst, let her be my third wife! Then our family of four can just make a mahjong table, and we’ll never be bored.”

“We must get such a good girl! Oh no~ I seem to have fallen into that damned love again~~”

“…”

Chen Kexin’s eyes reddened, and she casually threw the basketball in her hand to the ground, immediately wiping away her “little pearls.”

Brother Lin Xuan: “…”

Hey, hey, hey!

Qingge is still here?

Are you already falling in love with someone else and abandoning your first love?

Who was it that swore not long ago that Su Qingge was the love of their life… And what the hell is a family of four (・◇・)???

Monogamy is already over the limit, and you want to add more people, right… Brother Lin Xuan silently complained.

At this moment, he noticed the basketball that had rolled to his feet, solemnly picked it up, and placed it aside.

“Hmph! The peak welcomes false support, the twilight witnesses true believers!”

“A true ‘little Blackie’ would never abandon his basketball. Sure enough, this kid only cosplays the superficial, a complete fake Blackie.”

At the door.

Su Fan stood with his hands in his pockets, his expression slightly complicated.

Bai Susu’s words had somewhat shaken him.

Having traveled the world for so many years, he had seen too much scheming.

But a person as good to the point of being foolish as Bai Susu, he was encountering for the first time.

Sacrificing oneself for others, huh?

Su Fan thought about it and realized that if it were him… he simply couldn’t do it?!

His motto in life was:

“I would rather betray the world than let the world betray me.”

Apart from a few people he cared about, he didn’t care about the lives of others at all.

However, even though he couldn't be such a person himself.

When he actually met someone like that in reality, Su Fan still admired them greatly.

He couldn't help but feel a hint of shame for his preconceived notions.

Perhaps if there’s a chance… I could help her… After all, it’s just a matter of a word.

Zhao Hu wouldn’t dare to disrespect me to that extent.

If he didn’t, then I’d simply kill him.

For someone like Su Fan, who pursued the peak of martial arts… it was all about achieving mental clarity, which allowed his cultivation to continuously advance.

To achieve this goal, killing was merely an insignificant triviality… On the other side.

“Brother Lin Xuan? I won’t borrow money from you, but can you… give me Uncle Zhao Hu’s contact information?”

Hearing Bai Susu’s persistent question.

Brother Lin Xuan pondered for a moment, a strategy already forming in his mind.

Just as he was about to answer Bai Susu’s question, a tickling sensation came from his palm.

He looked down and saw Su Qingge’s small hand drawing in his palm.

[Help her.]

Seeing these words, Brother Lin Xuan unconsciously showed a slight smile.

It seemed his companionship during this time had been somewhat useful.

Su Qingge’s persona had at least half collapsed… If it were the cold, domineering female CEO from the original plot, facing Bai Susu’s situation, she would only find the other party foolish.

As for pity?

Blaming fate, she would believe that she, a vegetative person, was the most pitiful and unfairly treated person in the world… But now, because of Bai Susu, she was making a request to him, 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 mattered… The most important thing was that his wife had spoken.

And it was her first time asking him to do something, so what else was there to say? ┐(ﾟ～ﾟ)┌

Even if it was a mountain of knives and a sea of fire, he would have to flatten it?!

Brother Lin Xuan smiled, but didn’t reply.

Instead, he slowly wrote a word in Su Qingge’s palm:

[Okay].

Receiving Brother Lin Xuan’s signal, Su Qingge’s originally uneasy heart ♦ finally settled down.

She was truly afraid that Brother Lin Xuan would think she was meddling and become annoyed with her.

But she couldn’t help it… The moment she heard Bai Susu’s true feelings.

For some reason, Su Qingge suddenly wanted to help her.

But she couldn’t act personally, so she could only seek Brother Lin Xuan’s help.

And the reason why she wanted to help the other party… perhaps it was because in Bai Susu, Su Qingge saw a side completely opposite to her own… This was a good girl, so pure that she dared not look directly at her.

Because it would make Su Qingge feel very dirty.

These years, to achieve her goals, she had resorted to unscrupulous means, secretly doing many things that outsiders would find terrifying.

Her hands were already stained with sin.

Her future was destined to be dark.

She… would go to hell sooner or later, right…
