Sorry, I'm a cultivator.

"Hmm..." Jiang Xuetang responded, and before hanging up the video call, she complained to Li Xingzhou in the living room, "My mom is video calling me, what are you so happy about? She's my mom, not your mom."

After saying that, Jiang Xuetang glanced at Jiang Yingluo's expression in the video before hanging up the phone.

Jiang Yingluo looked at the chat interface on the screen with a faint smile on her lips, both because the misunderstanding had been cleared up and because of the joy in Xingzhou's tone.

For some inexplicable reason, a strange thought popped into Jiang Yingluo's mind because of her daughter's last words: I've practically raised these two children, so I'm also Xingzhou's mother...

bah bah bah!

Who wants to be his mother?

I'm his girlfriend now!

Jiang Yingluo put down her phone, relaxed back on the sofa, and turned to look at Lin Qin, whose expression was tense: "Did you hear everything?"

Lin Qin gave a wry smile: "President Jiang, would you believe me if I said I didn't hear it?"

Jiang Yingluo shook her head, crossing her right leg over her left, and said with a self-deprecating laugh, "They say that women in love are easily infatuated, and that's really true."

She paused for a moment and then sighed softly, "Xuetang is my daughter."

Upon hearing this, Lin Qin didn't dare to utter a sound.

To be honest, the CEO's resolute attitude towards love was unexpected.

She knew from the car that the president wouldn't back down on this matter, but she never expected him to scold the young lady so directly.

Women are indeed petty when it comes to these things... even when the opponent is their daughter.

Although the CEO now regrets scolding the young lady, he will most likely still scold her if the same thing happens again.

This whole thing is a mess...

Lin Qin really didn't want the mother and daughter to turn against each other.

"Tell me, how should I apologize after she comes back?"

Hearing the president's question, Lin Qin hesitated for a moment and said, "President Jiang, I think you shouldn't be thinking about how to apologize to Miss Jiang right now."

"Huh?" Jiang Yingluo looked at Lin Qin in surprise: "What do you mean?"

“Miss Li has feelings for Mr. Li now, although they are not strong, they are there nonetheless.” Lin Qin carefully chose her words: “If you continue to be so firm, it may provoke Miss Li’s rebellious mentality and make her pursue Mr. Li more actively.”

The young lady is a very opinionated girl, and you've never scolded her since she was little. Now that she's about to graduate, you've reprimanded her because of Mr. Li; she's probably really unhappy.

Upon hearing this, Jiang Yingluo frowned slightly, because she felt that Lin Qin's words made sense.

"Those involved are often confused, while bystanders see things clearly." Jiang Yingluo nodded: "So you mean I need to explain this to her quickly?"

"Hmm..." Lin Qin nodded, then asked softly, "President Jiang, have you decided on Mr. Li?"

"Of course!" Jiang Yingluo nodded without hesitation. He had kissed and sucked her, and their relationship was already that intimate. She definitely couldn't live without him!

He has to take responsibility!

When it comes to relationships, Jiang Yingluo is just as traditional.

“So you should quickly tell the young lady the truth, otherwise things will be even more difficult to handle if she really has a rebellious attitude,” Lin Qin said seriously. “She is your daughter, isn’t she?”

Jiang Yingluo pursed her red lips. Of course she knew Lin Qin was right, but Olivia's existence was like a Damocles' sword hanging over her head, making her feel uneasy.

Seeing President Jiang's hesitant expression, Lin Qin didn't know what she was worried about, but she didn't say anything more.

I have already tried to be as fair as possible. If I were to say anything that showed too much bias, it would be detrimental to my future.

Although President Jiang values ​​me, I am ultimately an outsider, so it's best to stay out of these family matters.

“Xuetang shouldn’t have any rebellious thoughts…” Jiang Yingluo murmured, “Xingzhou won’t accept her advances…”

Lin Qin kept her eyes down, not uttering a single word.

After a while, a soft sigh came from Jiang Yingluo in the living room.

······

"Hehe~" Jiang Xuetang skipped and jumped into Li Xingzhou's arms after hanging up the video call: "I knew you would cooperate with me, look how well we're in sync~"

Looking at Jiang Xuetang clinging to him, Li Xingzhou couldn't help but cup her full, round buttocks with both hands: "You're a better actress than me."

"Heh~" Jiang Xuetang rolled her eyes at him: "Do you believe that?"

"Tell me quickly, what exactly happened between you and my mom? Why is she so angry?"

"you guess?"

"Tch~" Jiang Xuetang kicked Li Xingzhou in the lower back with her heel: "Tell me or not, I'll find out the truth sooner or later!"

Li Xingzhou smiled but didn't say anything more. He walked to the sofa and sat down, putting his arm around Jiang Xuetang's lower back. Suddenly, Jiang Xuetang asked, "Do you need my help?"

"Ok?"

Jiang Xuetang pinched Li Xingzhou's face and stared straight into his eyes: "Pervert!"

Li Xingzhou calmly said, "Even beauty has its principles, don't you agree, Tong Yan?"

Tong Yan blinked: "Isn't there a code of honor among thieves?"

"Pretty much." Li Xingzhou turned to look at Tong Yan, and said as if he remembered something, "You and Xue Tang are both divine beasts."

Tong Yan looked at him with a confused expression: "I'm not a monster."

Jiang Xuetang looked at Li Xingzhou with a smile: "Then why do you say it's the first time we've met?"

"Hey, she's an automaton, is that considered a natural-born one?"

"Doesn't that count?" Jiang Xuetang looked at Tong Yan: "How were you born?"

"Life Incubation Pod." Tong Yan remembered this: "It was specially created for Lord Xingzhou."

"So, wouldn't you be considered his daughter?"

“No!” Tong Yan shook her head: “From a life science perspective…”

Seeing Tong Yan's serious analysis at this moment made Jiang Xuetang feel that she was just a pure automaton.

It's not fun.

The baby face from before was more interesting.

"Alright, your dinner is here." Jiang Xuetang interrupted Tong Yan's voice at the right moment: "Lord Xingzhou, would you like to go and get it?"

"Fine." Li Xingzhou tossed Jiang Xuetang aside, got up, and walked towards the door.

After all, he was the one wearing the most clothes.

After quickly retrieving dinner, Tong Yan took the initiative to set it out—she couldn't wait to eat.

"Lord Xingzhou, aren't you going to eat?"

"I'm going out."

"Do you know the whereabouts of the fourth Heaven's Cup?" Jiang Xuetang asked curiously.

"Yes." Li Xingzhou nodded: "It's on Tianqi Island."

“That’s normal.” Jiang Xuetang picked up a piece of braised pork: “The Heaven’s Cup that appears on Apocalypse Island will usually also appear in the Heaven’s Cup, and if there’s a mechanism, the other one might also have a mechanism.”

"It's just a possibility, right?"

“Hmm…” Jiang Xuetang nodded: “However, you can tell whether it has a mechanism or not by whether the Heaven’s Cup is illusory or not.”

"Where is the Heaven's Cup?" Jiang Xuetang continued, "Do you need my help?"

"No need." Li Xingzhou smiled. "You should just focus on recovering. Besides, aren't you going home?"

“That’s true.” Jiang Xuetang’s eyes darted around; she was very curious about her mother’s reaction.

Besides, since Xingzhou really has feelings for her, I have to help him out somehow.

Jiang Xuetang is well aware of Jiang Yingluo's traditional personality; without putting in some effort, they can't all be happy together.

Of course, mothers should be happy too!

After all, she's struggled alone for so many years, she needs to find a man to rely on.

Li Xingzhou is someone I know very well, and he is absolutely the best candidate!

As for whether Xingchen Group will change its name... that's simple.

Why not have more kids, pick the one who likes business, and change his/her surname to Jiang?

Perfect~

"Then be careful!" Jiang Xuetang waved at Li Xingzhou, "May your martial arts prowess be abundant!"

"Tong Yan, say goodbye to her too."

Tong Yan looked at the delicious food on the table with a conflicted expression, then at Li Xingzhou's face. After a long while, she finally said with a lack of confidence, "Lord Xingzhou, I'll go with you..."

"Go eat," Li Xingzhou waved his hand. "I'll ask you for help again later after I've eaten and drunk my fill."

"As ordered!"

Tong Yan's voice suddenly became full of confidence, and she began to eat with great gusto without hesitation.

Jiang Xuetang looked at her with a mixture of amusement and exasperation. After Li Xingzhou left, she started teasing the automaton again.

As Li Xingzhou stepped out of his house, he looked up at the dark night sky. The air was damp, indicating that it was about to rain.

He concealed himself and flew a distance before stopping on the rooftop of the tower, smiling slightly: "Big sister who loves to drink blood, how long are you going to follow me?"

A cloud of blood appeared to the left front, and Olivia, dressed in a red dress, stepped out from it. Although she was walking on air, the crisp sound of her strappy high heels could be clearly heard.

"You caught me, little brother~" Olivia looked at Li Xingzhou with bright eyes, one hand on her hip, her beautiful waist and hip lines fully exposed by the red dress: "Where are you going so late, little brother?"

“Naturally, it’s for the Heaven’s Cup.” Li Xingzhou looked at Olivia with a leisurely air, and had to admit that this woman was indeed sexy.

This mature sexiness is something Emilia doesn't possess, so after winning Emilia's heart, Li Xingzhou doesn't think that Olivia is just so-so.

"Why don't you let your older sister come with you?" Olivia chuckled. "You took advantage of the vampires today, so you should repay that favor, right?"

"What if I say no?" Li Xingzhou smiled slightly: "Would you expose me?"

“Of course I couldn’t bear it, but…” Olivia walked step by step to Li Xingzhou, then circled around to his side: “I’m not doing this to compete with you for the Heaven’s Cup, you know~”

"is it?"

“Your goal is to help Jiang Wanzhao recover, and that goal doesn’t harm me.” Olivia put her hand on Li Xingzhou’s shoulder. “If other races were to gather them, they would definitely be thinking about world domination. Compared to that goal, don’t you think your goal is the most acceptable to me?”
