Li Zhiguo, who was standing nearby, suddenly jumped up: "How dare you hit my daughter!"

Before she could finish speaking, she met Xu Lin's cold gaze and immediately dared not approach.

Upon seeing this, Wang Shufen cried out "Ouch!" and collapsed to the ground, throwing a tantrum and screaming, "Help! Murder! God, please have mercy!"

Xu Lin narrowed his eyes, watching this farce unfold; he simply couldn't bear it any longer.

Fortunately, he no longer had to endure it!

"That's enough!"

A low growl was heard, and the room fell silent instantly.

He looked at Li Qianyu coldly, offering no further explanation or concession.

"Divorce?" His voice was deep and powerful: "Fine, now, all of you get out."

Li Qianyu froze, then screamed, "You dare! You'll leave with nothing in the divorce!"

Xu Lin sneered, "This house is my premarital property and has nothing to do with you."

"Your family has cost me one or two million over the years, and I don't want it anymore. Pack your things and leave now, or I'll call the police."

The living room fell into dead silence.

Li Zhiguo, the father-in-law, wanted to lash out, but Xu Lin's gaze made him tremble, and he didn't dare to speak.

The mother-in-law, Wang Shufen, collapsed beside the sofa, wailing and crying, "Oh my God, what are we going to do?!"

Li Qianyu stared at Xu Lin, her eyes filled with shock.

She suddenly realized that this man, who had always been docile and easily manipulated by her, was now like a completely different person.

He used to be tolerant and let himself be beaten and scolded. What's wrong with him today?

Xu Lin took a deep breath and said calmly, "I'm tired. I'll take a shower and get some sleep. If you want a divorce, no problem. We can go to the Civil Affairs Bureau together after I wake up."

Just then, the door was pushed open with a bang, and Li Qianyu's younger brother, Li Kai, rushed out of the room.

His eyes were bloodshot, and he looked like he was acting crazy.

He was yelling, "If you dare divorce my sister, I'll kill you!"

Seeing this, Xu Lin didn't even frown. He met Li Kai's charge head-on and kicked him directly in the chest.

The kick was so powerful that Li Kai was instantly sent flying more than two meters away, crashing heavily against the wall with a loud bang.

Xu Lin gave a smug, cold laugh, thinking to himself:

Back when I was fighting alongside Cao Kun, Cao Kun was known for his Southern Fist style, while I was known for my Northern Leg style. I still haven't lost that skill!

He walked forward expressionlessly, picked Li Kai up like a chick, and said viciously:

"You idiot, look closely! Who's really in charge here?!"

Li Kai was so frightened that his face turned pale, and he dared not utter another sound.

Xu Lin casually tossed him aside and yelled, "Clear out all the trash that belongs to you in this room!"

Li Kai scrambled into the room and grabbed his belongings.

After doing all this, Xu Lin took out his change of clothes and other personal items, went into the room, and locked the door with a "bang".

Xu Lin drank until he blacked out last night, and his head was still throbbing. He was also emitting a pungent smell of alcohol.

However, when the hot water was poured over him, he instantly felt much more comfortable.

Listening to his mother-in-law's incessant wailing outside the door, Xu Lin felt a strange sense of relief.

He lay down on the bed, pressed down with the pillow, and fell into a deep sleep.

……

When Xu Lin woke up, the afternoon sunlight was streaming through the curtains onto the floor.

He rubbed his temples; the hangover headache hadn't completely subsided.

Stepping out of the bedroom, the scene before him made him slightly taken aback:

The table was laden with dishes, steaming hot and fragrant.

Li Qianyu, with half her face swollen, was setting the table with her head down, while her mother-in-law, Wang Shufen, was wiping the table, and her father-in-law, Li Zhiguo, was forcing a smile.

"Xiao Xu, this is your lunch. We've all been waiting for you to get up."

The smile was stiff and ingratiating, with a hint of awkwardness.

Xu Lin looked at them, a sense of irony rising in his heart.

He used to treat this family with sincerity, working hard without complaint and never complaining.

But what I got in return was disdain, complaints, and ridicule.

Now, with just a change in attitude, they immediately put on a completely different face.

That's fucking despicable.

He sneered inwardly: It's all because Li Qianyu's family realized that without him, they don't even have the right to live in Jinning.

Xu Lin glanced at them coldly, and Li Qianyu's family immediately put on awkward yet obsequious smiles.

That smile made him feel nauseous.

He didn't touch a single bite of food, but simply picked up his coat and silently walked towards the door.

Behind him came his mother-in-law's cautious voice: "Xu Lin, eat something before you go..."

Xu Lin didn't turn his head and said indifferently, "No need."

After saying that, he opened the door and left in a hurry.

Although Cao Kun's instructions were to start work tomorrow, Xu Lin was determined to make something of himself.

He has much more important things to do now, and he has to make the most of every second.

……

The next day, Zhu Mengmeng arrived at Cao Kun's office on time to report for duty.

Upon seeing her arrive, Cao Kun casually arranged, "From now on, you'll be my secretary."

Upon hearing this, Fu Die immediately felt as if she were facing a formidable enemy.

For the past few days, she has been acting as Cao Kun's sole secretary.

In Jinning, she could be said to be second only to the emperor.

Even Wang Meng, the captain of Cao Kun's guards, treated her with great respect, and she thoroughly enjoyed this feeling of being high above others.

It's important to know that Wang Meng is a high-ranking executive in the company, on par with Su Yue.

But after only two days in Jinning, Cao Kun has already added another secretary?

Fu Die looked Zhu Mengmeng up and down. She was stunningly beautiful and had a unique, aloof demeanor.

Compared to her own intellectual and beautiful style, she was in no way inferior.

Fu Die panicked slightly, feeling a growing sense that her position was seriously threatened.

She bit her lip tightly, momentarily at a loss for what to do.

Zhu Mengmeng didn't notice Fu Die's subtle actions. She smiled slightly and said, "Okay, boss, are we going to buy a house at Feiyun Yayuan today?"

After thinking for a moment, Cao Kun said, "Let's put the house purchase on hold for now. I plan to find a place in Jinning to set up a branch of Kunlun Trading."

Zhu Mengmeng nodded upon hearing this.

She has a good network in the Jinning real estate sales circle, so this matter is not difficult for her.

Sure enough, after Zhu Mengmeng made several phone calls, the matter was resolved quickly.

She quickly introduced to Cao Kun, "Boss, there's a fantastic place, an office building in the center of Jinning called Jintai Plaza."

"This office building was recently built, but unfortunately it was during a market downturn, so it has remained vacant and unrented."

"However, all the facilities inside are brand new. With just a little renovation, our company can move in directly."

"Moreover, joining now at this crucial juncture allows you to enjoy a host of preferential policies."

Cao Kun was quite satisfied with her efficiency. Suddenly, the image of the huge waterbed at the Changteng headquarters flashed through his mind, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but turn up slightly.

He thought to himself: Now that I have two secretaries, Fu Die and Zhu Mengmeng, by my side, it seems that the waterbed can finally come in handy.
