Urban: It turns out this is a comprehensive world

The afternoon autumn sun shone through the car windows, casting a warm golden hue on the asphalt road. After a two-hour drive, Luo Lingtian and Qin Qingcheng's convoy entered the neighboring city. The black Maybach at the front had an eye-catching license plate. They drove smoothly all the way and soon arrived at the five-star hotel where Luo Lingtian was staying.

The door to the presidential suite was pushed open by a waiter, carrying a faint fragrance. Luo Yuntian stood by the floor-to-ceiling window, an unlit cigarette between his fingers. Seeing the two enter, he casually put the cigarette back in his pocket and quickly stepped forward.

Lin Ruoxue stood beside him, her light gray dress making her skin appear even whiter. She clasped her hands together in front of her, nervously clenching the hem of her dress. Only when she met Qin Qingcheng's gaze did she slowly relax.

"This must be Yun Tian's sister-in-law, Lin Ruoxue. She's really outstanding. The strength in her eyes and the clean temperament make her much more pleasant than the pampered young ladies in the entertainment circle."

As soon as Qin Qingcheng finished speaking, she stepped forward naturally, her gaze gently falling on Lin Ruoxue. Her fingertips lightly brushed the hem of her skirt, her movements elegant and perfectly timed.

"Ah? Sister-in-law?" Lin Ruoxue was taken aback at first, her pupils widened slightly, and then she glared at Luo Yuntian reproachfully. There was no real anger in her eyes, but rather a touch of girlish naivety. "You must be Sister Qingcheng, right? Just call me Ruoxue."

Luo Yuntian ignored her coquettish reproach and nodded to the two people who entered, "Sister-in-law, elder brother, you've finally arrived. The Lin family must be getting impatient."

"Hmm." Luo Lingtian nodded slightly, his gaze subtly scrutinizing Lin Ruoxue. Although on the surface he was just a rich second-generation who did nothing but eat and wait for death, in reality he was a person in a high position and had an extremely accurate eye for people.

The girl before him was beautiful and refined. Although she was a little reserved, she was not timid at all. In particular, the indomitable spirit in her eyes impressed him. No wonder Luo Yuntian had made a special call for help. It seemed that he was really moved.

The brothers had both served as mercenaries overseas for a period of time, carrying out countless dangerous missions, crawling and rolling in the hail of bullets, their hands stained with blood. They were not utterly evil people, but they were by no means soft-hearted "good people" either; they simply had their own principles and bottom lines in everything they did.

Luo Lingtian knew that if Lin Ruoxue hadn't won Luo Yuntian's heart, Luo Yuntian's abilities would be more than enough to secretly help her resolve the Lin family's troubles. After all, although the Lin family was considered wealthy in the neighboring city, they were far from being his match, so there was no need to alarm him, much less let Lin Ruoxue stay comfortably in the hotel waiting for support.

The four of them sat down on the leather sofa in the suite. The waiter quickly brought tea, placed it gently on the coffee table, and then bowed and withdrew.

Luo Lingtian and Qin Qingcheng sat side by side. Qin Qingcheng rested her elbow lightly on Luo Lingtian's knee, their posture intimate yet respectful. She was beginning to try to cultivate a relationship with Luo Lingtian.

She originally wanted to take it slow, but there was no other way. After all, she wasn't the only woman who had been reborn and was connected to Luo Lingtian!

Although Luo Yuntian and Lin Ruoxue sat on the same side, they were about a fist's distance apart. Lin Ruoxue's toes were slightly turned outwards, maintaining a comfortable distance that was neither too formal nor too intimate.

After chatting for a while, from the weather in the neighboring city to the hotel service, Qin Qingcheng specifically asked Lin Ruoxue if she had eaten lunch. Upon learning that she had only had some coffee, she immediately asked the waiter to bring her a delicate light meal.

After the meal, Luo Lingtian coughed twice, tapped his fingertips lightly on the coffee table, and steered the conversation to the main topic, his gaze sweeping over the two of them: "How did your discussion go between you two? Yuntian, you tell us first."

"Of course it's been discussed." Luo Yuntian leaned forward slightly, his expression serious but his tone flippant. He even raised an eyebrow at Lin Ruoxue, his eyes full of amusement.

"Now that I'm 'living in the same room' with Ruoxue, I definitely have to make her take responsibility for me. But I'm a man, so I have to take the initiative to propose. I can't let the girl bring it up. My parents are traveling abroad and it's a bit late. I can only ask my older brother to help out as a parent and support me."

Luo Lingtian sighed and pressed his knuckles to his forehead. This guy is so old and still doesn't know how to behave properly.

He turned to look at Lin Ruoxue, whose expression was calm, and softened his tone, adding a touch of respect: "Miss Lin, you heard what Yun Tian said. What are your thoughts? If you feel wronged, or have other ideas, you can tell us."

"Let's do as he says." Lin Ruoxue said calmly, her fingertips lightly stroking the rim of the water glass.

After spending two hours together, she had figured out Luo Yuntian's personality. He seemed carefree and irreverent, but was actually thoughtful and considerate. He would find lighthearted topics to talk about when he sensed she was nervous. He didn't have any bad habits and would occasionally make some frivolous jokes, but he never offended her.

Although he is not the perfect prince charming she had fantasized about when she was young, she is now ostracized and isolated by the Lin family. It is lucky that she has met someone who truly helps her. As for the future, whether it will be good or bad, she can only wait and see.

After a pause, Lin Ruoxue looked up, her eyes resolute, and added, word by word, "However, if possible, I hope that my elder brother and Sister Qingcheng can help me completely sever ties with the Lin family. Not just out of spite, but in a way that leaves no legal or nominal connection whatsoever."

Luo Lingtian was surprised to hear this, and he and Qin Qingcheng exchanged a glance, seeing a thoughtful look in each other's eyes.

Qin Qingcheng spoke first, her tone gentle yet probing: "Ruoxue, have you thought this through? Severing ties with the Lin family means you can no longer rely on their resources, and you might even incur their resentment."

"I've made up my mind." Lin Ruoxue nodded gently, a hint of bitterness flashing in her eyes, but it was quickly replaced by determination. "The Lin family has never been a source of support for me."

They've always favored Lin Xuanxuan. In the years I've been back in the Lin family, I've felt more like an outsider. Rather than staying there and suffering, it's better to cut ties completely; that would be much more comfortable.

Seeing her resolute attitude, Luo Lingtian stopped trying to persuade her and slowly nodded: "Alright, although my Luo family is just a newly emerging third-rate wealthy family in Haishi, your sister Qingcheng's Qin family still has some influence in the country. Helping you with the procedures to sever ties and protecting you will not be a problem."

This request was both unexpected and reasonable, suggesting that this future sister-in-law is far more clear-headed than she appears.

Lin Ruoxue wanted to sever ties with the Lin family, which wasn't impossible, but her unilateral decision carried no weight in the face of the powerful and influential Lin family.

In the eyes of the Lin family, that was just a little tantrum. They might ignore her for a while, but as long as they remembered that she still had some use, such as for future marriage alliances, they would use all sorts of means to force her to go back.

Moreover, there's the ongoing entanglement between the real and fake heiresses. The fake heiress, Lin Xuanxuan, is a woman with deep thoughts, and even if Lin Ruoxue clearly intends to sever ties, she will never feel at ease.

Luo Lingtian could even guess that Lin Xuanxuan would definitely try every means to target Lin Ruoxue, spread rumors, and secretly sabotage her until Lin Ruoxue completely disappeared from this world or could no longer threaten her status as the "eldest daughter of the Lin family" before she would give up.

After confirming Lin Ruoxue's thoughts, the four of them didn't delay any longer. After Lin Ruoxue had a light meal, Luo Yuntian went to the front desk to check out. Luo Lingtian stood by the window, dialed his assistant's number, and instructed him to prepare the legal documents to sever ties in advance.

Ten minutes later, the four got into the car, and the convoy drove off in a grand procession toward the Lin family villa, the roar of the engines breaking the afternoon tranquility.

Meanwhile, chaos erupted inside the Lin family villa, with shouts and arguments filling the air, and even the expensive crystal chandelier in the living room seemed to tremble slightly.

Lin family matriarch Xu Xinran sat in the main seat of the sofa, her fingers holding a silk handkerchief, her brows furrowed into a deep frown. She looked at Lin Guodong's action of throwing his phone, her eyes filled with disgust for Lin Ruoxue: "Guodong, you're ruining your health by getting angry. That girl has been wild in the countryside since she was a child, she's very unruly, she doesn't know any rules."

Yesterday, Xuanxuan told me that Ruoxue couldn't even learn basic table manners at home. She always picked at the plate when picking up food, as if she'd never eaten anything good before. And now, she dares to go to a hotel with a strange man! She's really disgraced the Lin family!

As she spoke, she turned and took Lin Xuanxuan's hand, her tone softening instantly, her eyes filled with tenderness: "Our Xuanxuan is so sensible. She cried so hard when she saw the photos this morning, afraid that Ruoxue would be deceived. She even told us not to get angry. You, you're just too soft-hearted, always thinking of her, but she doesn't appreciate your kindness at all."

Lin Xuanxuan leaned against Xu Xinran's shoulder, her eyes slightly red, her voice tinged with grievance: "Mom, please don't say that about my sister. She might have just been confused for a moment. After all, she just returned to the Lin family and isn't quite used to life in a wealthy family yet. What if she gets bullied by outsiders? I'm just worried about her..."

Before she finished speaking, she gently wiped the corner of her eye. Her delicate and considerate appearance made the Lin family feel even more sorry for her and even more disgusted with Lin Ruoxue.

"Damn it! Where did that brat go? How dare she not answer the phone! Does she think she's all grown up now?!"

Lin Guodong slammed his phone onto the sofa, cracking the case. His face was ashen, and his chest heaved violently; he was clearly furious.

In the morning, Lin Xuanxuan "accidentally" posted photos of Lin Ruoxue and a strange man going to a hotel to the family group chat, adding the caption, "How could you be so careless, sister? It would be terrible if outsiders saw this."

When the Lin family saw the photo, they were instantly enraged. In their eyes, even if Lin Ruoxue was their biological daughter, she had to abide by the Lin family rules and should never do something that "disgraces the family."

Lin Guodong immediately called Lin Ruoxue and sternly ordered her to go home immediately or he would cut off all her expenses.

But after waiting and waiting, from morning to afternoon, as the sun was about to set, the person not only did not return, but when they called again, they only received a perfunctory reply of "I'll be back soon," and when they called again, the phone was simply turned off.

Lin Guodong originally planned to bring his family's bodyguards, find out Lin Ruoxue's address, and bring her back to teach her a lesson.

Lin Xuanxuan quickly stepped forward, grabbed his arm, her face full of "worry," but her tone was deliberately dissuading him: "Dad, don't be impulsive. If we bring so many bodyguards, it will be too noisy. There are too many people in the hotel. If reporters or business partners see us and it gets out, it will be bad for our reputation."

My sister might really have something urgent to attend to and can't get away. She'll definitely be back later, so please wait a little longer, okay?

This statement seems reasonable at first glance, but upon closer inspection, it is full of loopholes. If too many people go, it might attract attention. Wouldn't it be better to send two bodyguards to quietly bring Lin Ruoxue back?

Lin Xuanxuan actually wanted the Lin family's anger to build up slowly. The later Lin Ruoxue returned home, the angrier her family would become. When she came back, she would be met with even harsher reprimands and punishments, and might even be grounded, never to have another chance to take things from her again.

But the Lin family didn't think much of it and instead agreed with her idea.
