"Was it your doing?!" Upon seeing Spice Ginger and the others enter, Lin Jiahao immediately focused his gaze on Hao Jian. The meaning in those eyes no longer held disdain, but instead a heavy seriousness mixed with defiance, yet beneath all these colors hid a trace of fear. To suddenly turn his painstakingly managed company from profit to loss, only the person before him had the ability to do so. What's more, all the security and bodyguards he had hired were taken care of by these people. The moment he saw Spice Ginger, he knew his security and bodyguards were in a bad situation. Perhaps they were not in life-threatening danger, but they were surely unconscious. Hao Jian snorted, his eyes suddenly turning cold as he scanned the family, sneering, "It's not that you're particularly nasty, just that when it comes to dealing with my woman and what you've done to me, it's gone a bit overboard..." "Here, perhaps you know me best. You should know my strength, so why make this choice? For money? Or for that useless woman beside you?" Suddenly, Hao Jian burst into laughter, "Looks like it really was because of that woman!" Immediately after Hao Jian finished his sentence, he noticed a change in Lin Jiahao's body movement, which was a familiar sight to Hao Jian. He could easily guess why Lin Jiahao acted that way. He mocked him right away. That woman had given Hao Jian a very bad first impression. Unfortunately, Lin Jiahao and that woman were birds of a feather. "I wonder if I should call you birds of a feather." Hao Jian's gaze, deep and wise, seemed to see through everything, "I've heard from my Qingxue that your character isn't as friendly as you pretend. To some extent, you're more like a pervert; not a normal person." "You..." Hearing Hao Jian's judgment, Lin Jiahao's heart filled with rage. No one had ever talked to him like that before! As Lin Jiahao was about to immediately refute, Hao Jian wasn't going to give him the chance to speak. As if he would let the person take the moral high ground and have the chance to repair his own image? "What do you mean 'I'? Hao Jian sneered, playing with his fingers, "You're the only one who could push your own daughter to this point and make an enemy of yourself." "Examine your own conscience and think about how your daughter has treated you under your improper guidance all these years! Or do you still want that cheap woman and worthless son of yours?" Hao Jian's eyes were sharp as a sword, staring at Lin Jiahao, as if possessing X-Ray Vision, making Lin Jiahao feel as though his secrets were laid bare before this man. "I... I..." Lin Jiahao's lips quivered, his eyes evasive. He glanced at Lin Qingxue, then at Shen Xin. Seeing Lin Qingxue, he felt nothing, but when he made eye contact with Shen Xin, a flame of desire suddenly ignited in his eyes. And Shen Xin also smiled charmingly with her timeless allure. She had always studied these techniques. When Lin Jiahao was still a small entrepreneur, she had already set her sights on this man. Over a decade of immersion, Shen Xin had profoundly understood Lin Jiahao. Now, employing a few small tricks wasn't something she couldn't handle with ease. Shen Xin's goal in coming was Lin Jiahao's assets and luxurious lifestyle. Now that someone wanted to take away this piece of luxury, how could she let that happen? Therefore, she didn't mind seducing Lin Jiahao to make him realize who he should keep! Seeing this, a cold glint flashed in Hao Jian's eyes. However, he understood Lin Jiahao's attitude. If he truly wanted to protect Lin Qingxue, he wouldn't have let that woman have her way. Even now, if Lin Qingxue wanted to return, it wasn't just a matter of whether Lin Qingxue agreed or not; Hao Jian also wouldn't approve. After all, sending Lin Qingxue back would only harm her, right? Considering the current situation, this family were all vampires, all devoid of any concern for Lin Qingxue. Do such people still deserve to be Lin Qingxue's family? Obviously, they do not! "I understand your meaning." Shot a glance at Lin Jiahao, Hao Jian slowly said, "And I can tell you very clearly right here." "This is just the beginning. Next, you will understand what true despair is, and you will also learn the power behind the name Hao Jian of Hua City." "Those who bully my woman will eventually pay the price!" Hao Jian's low voice emerged, causing Lin Qingxue, beside him, to cover her mouth with her hand, tears welling up uncontrollably in her eyes. This man was her true home. Lin Qingxue's soft murmur slipped from her lips. Then her gaze suddenly became serious as she shouted at the Lin family, "You're right. Before I met Hao Jian, I relied entirely on your Lin Family to reach where I am today. I will repay this debt of upbringing." When mentioning the debt of upbringing, Lin Qingxue almost gritted her teeth. These people had given her a dark childhood, but she endured and became today's Lin Qingxue. Her voice paused momentarily, then changed. Lin Qingxue turned her head toward Hao Jian, with eyes full of tenderness and a hint of admiration, "But now I have someone better. This person is my current support. He is better than all of you in every way. Given this, do I have any reason to return to the Lin Family?" "Impossible!" Lin Qingxue suddenly burst into laughter, her voice high and sharp, full of pride and disdain, "I don't need you anymore!" Now only Lin Qingxue could say she didn't need it, while Lin Jiahao absolutely didn't dare say this, simply because now his business was in trouble... The faces of the Lin Family were unsightly, enraged beyond measure, and Old Master Lin's whole body trembled. With the support of his wife, he could barely stand, while Shen Xia beside him seemed to have no intention of helping. His trembling finger pointed at Lin Qingxue, eyes filled with anger, he opened his mouth to say something, but then his eyes widened, and a mouthful of nearly black blood suddenly spurted out from his mouth. The blood directly splattered onto the smooth floor, shocking everyone who saw it. His wife and Lin Jiahao were both startled, while Shen Xia, standing beside him, was also in a daze. Only Shen Xin, looking on from the side, had a look of disgust flash in her eyes. Lin Jiahao suddenly roared, abruptly raising his head and glaring at the now somewhat unwell Lin Qingxue, shouting, "Do you think what you are doing is right?!" "This is your grandfather! You actually made him cough up blood! Do you know your grandfather is over eighty years old?! Are you even human?! Are you still one of the Lin Family?!" Follow current novels on 𝓷𝓸𝓿𝓮𝓵※𝓯𝓲𝓻𝓮※𝓷𝓮𝓽 One question after another was yelled from Lin Jiahao's mouth as he looked at his daughter with a complicated gaze, yet unable to get too close. "You wretch! Do you know what you're doing?!" Shen Xia also trembled as she looked at Lin Qingxue, shouting loudly, how could this woman be ?! "Me?" Lin Qingxue's eyes suddenly showed a chill, then she sneered, feeling incomparably satisfied in her heart: "I never considered myself part of the Lin Family. I always followed my mother; except for this family name, there's nothing else that follows you, so..." Taking a deep breath, Lin Qingxue sneered as she spoke the final answer. "I'm not a Lin Family member!" "This surname, I won't change it, I want to remember to never become someone like you all in the future." "You wretched woman! Hateful woman!" Shen Xia kept cursing, and the Lin Family kept cursing, whether it was Lin Jiahao or Lin Jiahao's parents, each one was cursing Lin Qingxue. Only Shen Xin didn't join in cursing, but her eyes revealed a deep sense of disgust towards Lin Qingxue. Lin Qingxue laughed, happily, maniacally, as if she had lost something: "The more viciously you curse, the happier I become!" "But you better be careful, the harder you curse now, the more ridiculous it will seem when you come begging later." "We won't beg a wretched woman like you! Are you even worthy?!" Lin Qingxue didn't respond, instead turned her head and said to Hao Jian, "We can go now." At this moment, Lin Qingxue's face was expressionless, her previous mania had disappeared, as if she had become a different person, which made Hao Jian show a helpless look. Originally, he didn't plan for Lin Qingxue to become such a woman, but there was nothing he could do, perhaps Lin Qingxue was always this kind of woman. A strong yet graceful woman. He gestured for Spice Ginger and the others at the door to go out first, and then Hao Jian also followed behind Spice Ginger and the others, holding Lin Qingxue's small hand with unusual care. Now Lin Qingxue just suffered a blow, if anything else happened, it would be too late for regrets. So for the time being, he had to watch Lin Qingxue at all times, what if this girl got a bad idea and committed suicide? Perhaps Hao Jian was overthinking it. After resolving her grievances with the Lin Family, Lin Qingxue suddenly felt much more carefree, every cell in her body breathing as joyfully as never before. That feeling made her mood much better, without any thought of jumping off a building or anything that Hao Jian worried about. But as she stepped forward, a wave of sadness suddenly hit, making Lin Qingxue's eyes slightly red. After all, this was the place she had lived for more than twenty years, how could she not have feelings for it?
