He wants to adopt a younger sister, but his aloof wife disagrees.

8 PM.

Inside Tomson Riviera's restaurant, the lights are dazzling and the aroma of wine fills the air.

This is a belated celebration banquet.

The table was laden with top-notch dishes personally prepared by Jiang Che: pan-fried foie gras with fig jam, slow-cooked salmon, and the red wine braised beef that Shen Qingge loved the most.

"Cheers."

Shen Qingge raised her wine glass, her exquisite face flushed with a slight intoxication, her eyes and brows radiating the joy of victory.

"For the rebirth of the Shen family, and also for... my strategist."

She looked at Jiang Che with a longing in her eyes, making no attempt to hide her admiration and affection.

Jiang Che smiled and clinked glasses with her: "Congratulations, President Shen, on your resounding success."

"Thanks to you."

Shen Qingge took a sip of red wine and, in high spirits, began to talk:

"You didn't see Wang Qiang's behavior today. Yesterday he was so arrogant, trying to hold the goods back, but this morning when he was signing the agreement, he was crying like a two-hundred-pound child."

"And the most ironic thing is..."

Shen Qingge put down her wine glass, as if she had thought of something amusing, and a playful smile appeared on her lips:

"I've investigated Wang Qiang's background. Do you know why he's so afraid of me freezing his assets?"

Jiang Che cut a piece of beef and put it in his mouth: "Why?"

"Because he was a 'son-in-law who lived with his wife's family."

Shen Qingge looked at Jiang Che, a hint of teasing in her eyes:

"That Hongda Building Materials, on the surface he's the boss, but actually most of the shares are in his wife's hands. His wife's surname is Lin, she's the eldest daughter of Lin's Real Estate, she has a bad temper, she's a tigress."

"Wang Qiang has been keeping a mistress and has lost 300 million yuan gambling. If his shrewish wife finds out, he will not only be left with nothing, but his legs will probably be broken."

"That's why he was so afraid, even if it meant betraying the Zhao family, he wanted me to keep it a secret."

At this point, Shen Qingge couldn't help but sigh:

"They're both sons-in-law, so why is there such a big difference? That Wang Qiang is such a spineless coward, while mine..."

She stretched out her foot and gently rubbed it against Jiang Che's calf under the table, her tone ambiguous:

"Not only is he handsome, but he can also cook and help me earn tens of millions."

Upon hearing these words, Jiang Che paused slightly.

Is Wang Qiang a son-in-law who lives with his wife's family?

His wife's surname is Lin?

Lin's Real Estate?

Jiang Che's mind flashed back to the WeChat message Su Xiaoruan had sent him—the girl who led the bullying of her at school was named Lin Shanshan.

Furthermore, the system prompt in the previous chapter also hinted at this connection.

"Qingge," Jiang Che put down his knife and fork, asking casually, "Does Wang Qiang's wife, surnamed Lin, have a daughter?"

"Yeah, how did you know?"

Shen Qingge was somewhat surprised. "I heard she's in high school, and apparently she's a troublemaker, acting arrogantly at school. What's her name... Lin Shanshan? She took her mother's surname."

Bingo.

Jiang Che's lips curled into a cold smile.

What a small world!

The father is a kept man (Wang Qiang) who is controlled by his wife, and the daughter is a bully (Lin Shanshan) who bullies others at school.

This family is truly a collection of "extreme" characters.

"It's nothing, I just felt the name sounded familiar."

Jiang Che didn't immediately point out that Su Xiaoruan was being bullied by Lin Shanshan at school. After all, today was a celebration banquet, and there was no need to spoil the fun with such trash.

Moreover, now that we know the details, things will be much easier.

Wang Qiang's weakness is now in Shen Qingge's hands, meaning it's in his possession.

If Lin Shanshan dares to be rude to Su Xiaoruan again at school...

Jiang Che narrowed his eyes, a dangerous glint flashing in them.

He wouldn't mind letting this father and daughter experience what "social death" is like.

"What are you thinking about? Why are you looking so fierce?"

Shen Qingge's voice interrupted his thoughts.

She had stood up at some point, walked around the dining table, and stood next to Jiang Che.

She wore a burgundy silk halter dress today, which accentuated her snow-white skin. Perhaps due to the alcohol, she was much bolder at the moment, sitting sideways on Jiang Che's lap and wrapping her arms around his neck.

"Jiang Che..."

Shen Qingge's breath was fragrant, her eyes were dreamy:

"The 'interest' you mentioned last night... it hasn't been paid in full yet."

"And I won such a big battle today, aren't you going to give me a reward?"

Jiang Che embraced her slender waist, feeling the softness and fragrance of the woman in his arms.

"award?"

Jiang Che raised an eyebrow. "Wasn't the massage last night enough?"

"not enough."

Shen Qingge leaned close to his ear, her voice so low it was like a feather tickling his heart:

"Su Xiaoruan went to live at school. Tonight... no one will bother us."

"I want to try it..."

Her face turned bright red, almost bleeding, but she still gritted her teeth and said it:

"Try the positions you wrote about in the book..."

boom--!

This is blatant temptation.

As an online novelist, Jiang Che's books are filled with a wide variety of "techniques".

Looking at the usually unapproachable female CEO in front of him, he saw her sitting in his lap like a little woman yearning for affection, begging for pleasure.

No man could stand it.

"You asked for this."

Jiang Che's voice instantly became hoarse.

He picked up Shen Qingge and strode towards the master bedroom.

"If you can't get out of bed tomorrow morning, don't blame me for not warning you."

"Hmph...who's afraid of who..."

……

The master bedroom door slammed shut.

This night was destined to be filled with storms and torrential rain.

Shen Qingge completely abandoned all her reserve, and under Jiang Che's guidance, she experienced complete surrender and release from body to soul.

……

The next morning.

sunny.

Shen Qingge indeed couldn't get out of bed. For the first time ever, she asked her secretary to postpone the morning meeting and stayed in bed sleeping like a lazy cat.

Jiang Che, having drunk the divine stamina potion, was full of energy.

He sat at the piano in his study, wearing headphones, holding a pen, and writing rapidly on the musical staff.

Since Lin Shanshan is Wang Qiang's daughter, then this revenge must be taken even more decisively.

The art exams in three months?

too long.

Jiang Che remembered that Su Xiaoruan's school was having a "welcome party" next week. It was a grand event that all the teachers, students, and even many parents would attend.

"If you're going to show off, then go all out."

Jiang Che looked at the score, a piece that would be considered a "game-changer" even in another world, and a confident smile appeared on his lips.

He picked up his phone and sent a WeChat message to Su Xiaoruan, who was suffering at school:

I'm going home this weekend.

Brother has prepared a gift for you.

[A cure for all kinds of stubbornness.]

At that moment, Su Xiaoruan, who was being ridiculed by Lin Shanshan and her group in the school's music room and could only practice her vocalizations in a corner, almost burst into tears when she saw this WeChat message.

She sniffed and gripped her phone tighter.

Although I don't know what the gift is, as long as it's from my brother, it must be the best!

"Lin Shanshan, you wait."

Su Xiaoruan looked at Lin Shanshan, who was showing off her new dress like a peacock not far away, and silently thought to herself:

"My brother is about to make his move."
