Chapter 97 Su Jinmu and Li Xin transmigrated into the original text: Li Xin raised a smile and said, "Young Master Su, will you come to apologize together?"

Early winter.

A number of plants in the open-air garden have withered.

Su Jinmu lay on a rocking chair, with an electric heating pad beneath her and a thick, long plush blanket covering her body, swaying casually in the pavilion.

Not far away, a boy dressed in thin clothes was kneeling on the ground.

The ground inside the pavilion is made of cement, cold and hard as iron. In the early winter wind, even through the thin fabric, it could almost freeze and crack the kneecaps pressing against the ground.

Su Jinmu closed her eyes and took a nap in the warm and soft rocking chair.

She is stunningly beautiful, beyond compare, but she is also genuinely vicious and ruthless.

She opened her eyes, looked at the boy kneeling beside her, and a smile curved her rosy lips.

“Go and pull out the dead plants in the open garden. You only have twenty minutes.”

"If you haven't finished pulling it out in twenty minutes, come back and continue to shield me from the wind."

Li Xin knelt on one knee in the cold wind, raising his eyes to stare at the captivating young master of the Su family.

The sunlight slanted down on him, making his exposed skin appear as white as jade, more lustrous than the surrounding snow, and more vibrant than the surrounding flowers.

But she was deep in thought, focusing solely on tormenting him over and over again.

Li Xin gave a strange laugh.

Most of the plants in the garden had withered, and the area was large, making it difficult to clean. If he just haphazardly pulled them out in twenty minutes, he might be able to finish, but it would be too rough, and the young master would definitely not approve of his work.

I'll still find reasons to torment him then.

Li Xin's gaze lingered on his exposed, fair skin, wondering if his own rough palms would leave hideous, bright red marks on his neck.

Probably.

The young master's skin looks very delicate.

Li Xin curled the corner of his mouth slightly, his gaze dark and gloomy, and replied meekly, "Yes."

I got up and went to pull weeds.

Su Jinmu had spent almost the entire night in her traditional Chinese painting class, and now she was taking a quick nap. She opened her eyes after about twenty minutes and looked at the open-air garden next to her.

"Tsk, they can't even do this little job right."

As expected, not all the dead plants were cleared away. Li Xin knew he wouldn't be able to finish, so he wasn't in a hurry. He only cleaned up a small area in the limited time he had, doing it very carefully.

Su Jinmu raised the corners of her mouth, called Li Xin over, and casually tilted her chin towards the ground in front of the rocking chair.

Li Xin stared at him with his dark eyes for a moment, then obediently knelt down on one knee.

The surrounding area was covered in a thin layer of snow that had not yet melted, and the weather was very cold.

He was dressed in thin clothes, and the icy temperature of the ground seemed to climb up to his bones as he looked up at the young master in the rocking chair nearby.

Su Jinmu sat up, rocking the chair slowly for a couple of moments. Her bare feet pressed heavily against Li Xin's waist, grinding it down. Her gaze fell, revealing an inhuman coldness, and she spoke slowly and deliberately.

"Useless trash, what are you still doing in the Su family?"

Why aren't you leaving yet?

Someone who knew his secret, despite having already finished the college entrance exam, actually went to the university to suspend his studies and continued to work as a maid in the Su family.

Su Jinmu disliked him intensely, so she stomped harder, making her feet firmly planted on the ground.

His feet were warm, covered by two thick blankets, while Li Xin felt cold.

Stepping on it, the soles of my feet almost burned with a stinging heat, becoming the only source of heat in the biting cold wind.

Li Xin shuddered strangely a few times, and a surge of excitement rose within him for no apparent reason.

...Young Master Su.

He has already taken down the Li family, and those who need to be dealt with will be dealt with one by one. How will he retaliate against this young master Su?

Return it exactly as it was? No, that's too boring. He's not the kind of person who's that kind of soft-hearted.

Of course, we must repay them a hundredfold, ten thousandfold.

Let's see how this young master reacts.

It's tomorrow.

Li Xin couldn't help but curl up a little, staring expectantly at the heat source on his waist, his gaze lingering on her slender ankles as if trying to scrape away a layer of flesh.

“Young Master, if you really want to punish me, why bother with these excuses? Just punish me, I won’t resist.” Li Xin chuckled softly.

Su Jinmu looked at the almost provocative curve of his lips, felt a chill in her heart, and a surge of anger rose up. She stepped on his shoulder and kicked him down hard.

"Ugh!" Li Xin's clothes were thin, and when he was kicked, his collar was loose. The young master's sole stepped directly onto his shoulder without any obstruction, which made him groan.

But he didn't move an inch, which only made him smile more.

Su Jinmu's anger intensified. She leaned closer, staring coldly at him, her voice audible only to the two of them, "I will kick you out of the Su family sooner or later."

Li Xin smiled faintly, "Welcome, I'll be waiting."

"Go back to pulling weeds."

Recently, Jingzhou has been in turmoil. The top-tier Li family has been targeted and is already in a state of decline. The other party is mysterious and ruthless. Other companies in Jingzhou are all on edge and few people are out and about.

Thanks to this, Su Jinmu has had far fewer social engagements recently, enjoying a few days of peace and quiet.

But the Li family's downfall might happen right now. Once things stabilize, given the personalities of Su's parents, they will definitely make him contact that mysterious and ruthless new leader.

Then I'll have to socialize again.

A look of weariness and exhaustion spread across Su Jinmu's face. She rubbed her ears and tried to perk herself up.

"Beep beep—"

Two noises came from outside the Su family's gate. The gate opened, and a luxury car drove in—it was the parents' car.

A hint of joy appeared in Su Jinmu's eyes. She got up from the rocking chair and went to the door to greet him.

"Father, Mother."

When Su's parents came downstairs, Su's father saw him idling outside and sternly said, "Why aren't you in class? Why are you slacking off here?"

"Class is over for today."

Father Su said sternly, "Once it's over, won't you continue to practice and improve on your own? Don't be lazy. If the Li family falls, you'll be very busy."

...I am quite busy.

They were busy building connections and relationships for the Su family.

Su Jinmu felt troubled and depressed, and it was very uncomfortable.

Su's mother glanced around and saw Li Xin, who was dressed in light clothing and clearing away dead branches not far away. She clicked her tongue and said, "Li Xin is dressed so lightly."

Su's parents knew that Su Jinmu didn't like Li Xin, but they didn't care. "Whatever. If you're going to slack off for a while, hurry back to class, practice the piano and paint. Practice more and make the Su family look good in public."

Su Jinmu felt even more depressed and a little bitter.

Su's parents discussed the Li family's affairs, speculating about the identity of the mysterious person as they hurried into the house. Su Jinmu stood behind them, watching their backs and pursing her lips.

After calming down for a while, I walked through the garden towards the villa.

"Hmm!"

A muffled, suppressed groan escaped Su Jinmu's lips. She paused, looked down, and was caught off guard by a figure.

Li Xin appeared beside him without him noticing, crouching down to pull weeds, his knuckles braced on the ground, when Su Jinmu unknowingly stepped on his foot.

Su Jinmu was taken aback, and moved his foot to shift his position. He didn't seem to have the bad habit of not watching where he was going.

Li Xin's long, slender fingers, already pale and stiff from the cold wind, turned red instantly after being stepped on, looking rather frightening.

Li Xin twitched the corner of his mouth, looking up at him with a half-smile, "Is Young Master going to take his anger out on me? It's alright, I'm used to it, Young Master can step on me a few more times."

"However, Mr. and Mrs. Su don't seem to pay much attention to you, young master."

He was dressed lightly, but Su Jinmu was dressed even less; she wasn't even wearing socks, and her bare feet were tucked into half-packed cotton slippers, revealing her cold, porcelain-white ankles.

Su Jinmu felt a surge of annoyance upon hearing his words. He hadn't stepped on it on purpose, but he suspected that this thing had deliberately come over to be stepped on and was saying these things to make him uncomfortable.

"OK."

He was too lazy to explain anything. Looking at Li Xin's annoyingly sharp black eyes, he curled the corner of his mouth, raised his foot, stepped on Li Xin's waist, and pressed him down to sit on the ground.

"Since you put it that way, then I'll grant your wish."

He was wearing cotton slippers and pressed hard against Li Xin's waist.

Li Xin sat on the ground, leaning back slightly, one arm supporting him behind him. He looked up at the young master above him, a smile playing on his lips. "It's good that the young master is satisfied."

Starting tomorrow, he will report back to each of them.

Unfortunately, this time I stepped on it with shoes on, so it wasn't warm.

A hint of regret flashed in Li Xin's eyes.

The downfall of the Li family was faster than expected; a complete upheaval occurred in just one night.

The Li family has completely collapsed.

The person who brought down the Li family finally stepped into the limelight, revealing their true colors... but they were someone no one had expected.

For a moment, Jingzhou was solemn.

But with profits at stake, those who fawned over him and begged for mercy immediately swarmed forward.

Su Jinmu listened to her parents' advice last night and stayed up most of the night practicing painting. This morning she had classes all morning, and at lunchtime she sat down at the table feeling groggy.

It was rare for Mr. and Mrs. Su to have lunch at home today. Mr. Su seemed to have caught a chill, his face was pale, and he looked at Su Jinmu, his voice gentle, "Xiaomu, did you check your phone today?"

Su Jinmu shook her head, "Not yet, I've been in class all day."

Mr. and Mrs. Su breathed a sigh of relief. Mr. Su smiled and said, "That's good. Play less on your phone and pay attention in class."

"Um."

"Eat your food quickly." Su's father pushed the plate towards him.

Su Jinmu's meals were always prepared separately, bland with little oil and salt. Su Jinmu accepted the food, her smile softening slightly, "Thank you, Father."

Su's mother picked up a piece of food from the vegetarian dish in front of him and put it in his small bowl. "Eat more. You don't look well."

Su Jinmu held the bowl, her eyes brightening slightly. "Thank you, Mother. I stayed up late painting last night. I'll go back and wash my face later; I'll recover quickly."

The curve of Su's mother's lips was a little stiff, but she nodded with a smile.

Su's parents barely touched their chopsticks. Su Jinmu looked up and asked, "Father, Mother, aren't you going to eat?"

Su's father cleared his throat, his eyes darting away for a moment. "We've already eaten out. We just wanted to have a little something with you. Go ahead and eat, eat quickly."

Su Jinmu was taken aback, almost surprised, and quickly ate a few bites. After finishing, he casually picked up his phone and looked at it.

His phone was flooded with messages, and he clicked on them blankly.

First came a flood of news articles and photos, then there was an uproar in industry groups, with countless people tagging him and asking him questions—

Isn't this your maid?

Su Jinmu clicked on the photo. It was taken on a high platform, with camera flashes going off everywhere. The person in the center was wearing a sharp black suit, looking casual and familiar, with a chilling coldness and a smile in his dark eyes.

It was damp and gloomy, like a ghost.

...Li Xin?

Is it Li Xin?

Su Jinmu opened her eyes slightly. The downfall of the Li family stemmed from the fact that Li Cunru had almost burned his own son to death, and also from Li Xin, the servant who had been bullied in the Su family.

How could it be him?

Su Jinmu was shocked and tried to see the photos on her phone more clearly, but for some reason, perhaps due to lack of sleep, her head felt dizzy and her vision blurred.

Li Xin... Li Xin is the new ruler, so what about the Su family...?

"...Ugh!"

Su Jinmu's face turned pale, her brows furrowed, and she glanced at the bland lunch on the table. Then, she suddenly noticed the evasive gazes of her parents.

Everything went completely black before my eyes, and I slumped back in my seat.

Bang.

Finally, what reached my ears was the dull thumping of my heart.

On the other side, the Li family, a completely new Li family.

Li Xin sat on a tall chair, his fingertips tapping casually, a smile playing on his lips.

After his identity was revealed today, Su's parents contacted him immediately, saying they would come to his home with an apology and compensation.

What kind of apology will it be?

Young Master Su, will you come along to apologize?

Li Xin smiled slightly, his dark eyes filled with anticipation.

...Young Master.

The young master who torments, bullies, tramples on, plays with, and ravages.

How will you apologize?

Sincere? Or gritted teeth? Or perhaps feigning innocence and pitifulness, putting on a gentle and harmless facade in public?

ha.

Li Xin chuckled softly, his eagerness and excitement almost overflowing, and glanced at the time.

They should be here by now, why aren't they here yet?

————————

The vengeful ghost and the young Taoist priest were getting impatient. [Cat emoji]

This is the story of the young master and the vengeful ghost who transmigrated into the original book. They have no memories now and believe they are the characters in the book, but their feelings for each other are something even amnesia can't suppress. The vengeful ghost can't wait any longer, hehe [orange heart][orange heart][calico cat][calico cat]

Both of them will regain their memories later.
