Jiang Xun looked at Jiang Yingxue and Lin Mo sitting together and breathed a sigh of relief, thankful that Jiang Yingxue knew Mr. Lin, otherwise he wasn't sure if he could have convinced Mr. Lin to spare them.
Thinking of this, Jiang Xun glanced at Jiang Xia, Jiang Can, Jiang Ying, and scolded them for being ineffective, "All three of you should reflect on yourselves. I will report today's events to the senior members of the family!"
The three of them looked pale and dejected. Jiang Ying looked at Jiang Yingxue sitting beside Lin Mo and sighed, "When did she meet such an influential figure, and kept it so well hidden."
If she guessed correctly, after Jiang Yingxue returned, she would certainly be invited by the seniors to join the core circle of the Jiang Family.
Jiang Can covered his face, feeling even more upset, as if a mix of flavors had toppled over inside.
"Mr. Lin, I am Xiao Nai, I have long heard of Mr. Lin's heroic fame. Hearing about you isn't as good as seeing you."
At this time, a young man at the table raised his glass to Mr. Lin with respect.
Lin Mo didn't recognize this young man, who apparently held a significant status in Jiangzhou, but Lin Mo didn't take it to heart and just gently raised his glass.
That young man Xiao Nai then drank the wine in his cup, followed by Jiangzhou's richest man Yuan Kun, and Qu Lianyan from the Qu Family, along with many other big shots, all offering toasts.
"Mr. Jiang, long time no see, let's have a drink." Holding his wine glass, Lin Mo looked at Jiang Yingxue and revealed a smile.
Seeing this, everyone instantly felt envious, to receive a toast from a transcendent young man like Lin Mo, how lucky she must be!
"Okay..." Jiang Yingxue's cheeks blushed slightly, her fingers picking up the glass and gently clinking it with Lin Mo's. After a drink, her cheeks flushed even more.
After the party ended, Qu Lianyan arranged a hotel for Lin Mo, where he sat on the bed practicing his breathing and cultivation.
Just as Lin Mo was about to engage in his cultivation for a while, suddenly someone knocked on the door. "Knock, knock, knock!"
Lin Mo opened his eyes and went to open the door, seeing a graceful figure standing in the doorway, dressed in a white long dress with her black hair smooth and straight, her appearance beautiful and her figure increasingly charming and mature.
Standing at the door was surprisingly Jiang Yingxue.
"Mr. Jiang, it's so late, are you not sleeping? Is there something you need?" Lin Mo glanced at her, his voice calm.
"I... I want to have a chat with you," Jiang Yingxue's pretty face was tinged with a rosy flush, shy and charming, her eyes not daring to meet Lin Mo's directly.
"Alright, would you like some water?"
As he spoke, Lin Mo gestured, and a bottle of cocktail from the rack flew out, automatically opened its cap, and started pouring into two glasses.
Jiang Yingxue watched all this, her mouth covered in surprise.
Lin Mo, however, thought nothing of it, and handed her a glass.
Lin Mo took a sip of the liquor, crossed his legs, sat on the couch and smiled, "Mr. Jiang, I know why you are here, but tell your uncle that I have forgiven him on account of your face."
"Thank you," Jiang Yingxue said, her face turning even redder.
Outsiders thought of Lin Mo as a murderous madman, but those who knew Lin Mo well understood that he cared deeply about his friends. Although Jiang Yingxue had only interacted with him during their senior year of high school, Lin Mo also considered her a friend.
"By the way, there is another matter, Jiyao Hall is willing to be your agent for free, without taking any commissions," Jiang Yingxue raised her head, her beautiful eyes faintly looking at Lin Mo as she spoke.
"Whatever, go and negotiate with the person in charge at Die Mo Pharmaceutical in Shu Province, just say it was my idea," Lin Mo said indifferently, and then added, "Mr. Jiang, if there's nothing else, you should go back and rest early."
"Alright, then." Jiang Yingxue put down her wine glass, held her long dress with both hands, and stood up from the sofa, turning to walk toward the door. After closing the door, she stood there, involuntarily letting out a gentle sigh.
Could it be that she really had no appeal to him?
A year later, upon seeing him again, Jiang Yingxue found the youth more handsome than ever, and the hidden feelings in her heart inexplicably stirred once again.
Jiang Yingxue, sensing the unusual thoughts in her heart, held her cheeks, which felt as ripe as apples, feeling a burning sensation, and shook her head, "Ah... perhaps, I can never touch his heart after all!"
Shortly after Jiang Yingxue left, Lin Mo, alone, finished his drink and was about to go to sleep when a knock sounded at the door.
Lin Mo was somewhat helpless.
Earlier at the party, several big shots hinted they had stunning beauties to offer him, including some famous actresses seen often on TV, but Lin Mo had declined all of them.
The visitor at the door was not a beauty but a young man, about twenty-five or twenty-six, dressed in a sharp suit, the handsome Xiao Nai he had met during the party.
"Mr. Lin, sorry to disturb you," Xiao Nai said respectfully.
"Oh, what do you want?" Lin Mo asked, his expression indifferent.
Xiao Nai hesitated, opened his mouth, then lowered his voice and said, "Mr. Lin, maybe we could talk inside?"
The two sat on the hotel sofa, and after hearing Xiao Nai's words, Lin Mo's eyes showed some indifference, "You're talking about the Chuannan Magic House?"
It turned out that Xiao Nai's wife was from a magic family in Chuannan, and it had taken Xiao Nai tremendous effort to marry her. Although he was the brilliant future successor of a prestigious family with much public admiration, he was utterly insignificant within the magic family.
"Yes, my wife has been cursed and she's pregnant, I'm not sure if she'll make it," Xiao Nai said with a sigh, his face full of worry.
"Why should I help you?" Lin Mo asked coolly. He was not the type to help anyone who asked.
After hesitating for a long time, Xiao Nai sighed and said, "Mr. Lin, let me be frank with you then, those people went to my wife's family, apparently for an extraordinary treasure. If Mr. Lin would help..."
Lin Mo said indifferently, "You think you can give me that treasure? If that were the case, her family wouldn't have abandoned her."
Seeing Lin Mo's response, Xiao Nai displayed a helpless look, but he couldn't just watch as his wife and unborn child died, so he had no choice but to approach Lin Mo.
"Do you even know what that treasure is?" Lin Mo asked coolly.
"I'm not quite sure, but for a cultivator, it's a peerless treasure, very helpful!"
Lin Mo glanced at Xiao Nai, saying coolly, "Come find me tomorrow."
Although Lin Mo was nearly invincible now, anything that could enhance his strength would definitely interest him.
After all, to boost his power once more atop his invincibility would indeed be a good thing for Lin Mo.
