Chapter 48 Don't Blame Me for Being Ruthless, Peak Qi Refining
Her mind was now completely occupied with the five million, and the subsequent five million. She had long forgotten about the life-or-death situation and the consequences.
She'd do anything as long as she got the money.
Jiang Manli didn't look at her again, waving her hand as if shooing away a fly:
"Get out of here. Don't disappoint me."
"Okay! Miss Jiang, don't worry! I definitely won't let you down!"
Li Qianqian took the card, bowed carefully, and retreated.
After she left, Jiang Manli's assistant cautiously spoke:
"Miss, isn't it too risky to give her so much money? What if she can't do it, or turns against us..."
"Turning against me?" Jiang Manli picked up her wine glass and downed the red wine in one gulp. The crimson liquid stained the corners of her lips, making the sinister look in her eyes even more pronounced.
"Give her a little treat and she'll bite whoever she wants. Even if she can't get anything done, she can still disgust Jiang Xinlan."
"If I really want to kill Jiang Xinlan, I have plenty of ways to do it. She's just a pawn that's been thrown out."
She put down her wine glass, looked out the window at the bustling traffic of Beijing, her eyes filled with resentment and coldness.
Jiang Xinlan, it's been six years, and you're still so clueless.
If you obediently rot at the bottom, living a life of obscurity and mediocrity until death, it's not like you can't continue to eke out a living.
But who told you to try every possible way to turn things around?
Since you've chosen to die, don't blame me for being ruthless.

Yunjingtai Villa.
Since Jiang Xinlan joined the crew, Shen Yu has spent most of his time in the underground training room, except for spending time with his two children, Niannian and Guigui.
The basement was a private cultivation space that Shen Yu had specially created.
He reinforced all four walls with his spiritual power, and in the very center, he set up a simple spirit-gathering array using eight nurtured spirit jades as the array's core.
At this moment, the formation was slowly operating, continuously drawing in the sparse spiritual energy between heaven and earth, transforming it into wisps of white mist, all of which flowed into Shen Yu's body, who was sitting cross-legged.
Shen Yu's eyes were closed, and a faint, shimmering white aura of spiritual energy surrounded his body. The spiritual energy flowed slowly through his meridians according to the predetermined cycle.
With each cycle of cultivation, his cultivation became more stable, and the spiritual energy within his body became more condensed.
Half an hour later, the last wisp of spiritual energy was drawn into Shen Yu's dantian. He slowly finished his practice and opened his eyes.
The golden light that flashed in his eyes disappeared in an instant, and all the immortal aura around him was completely subdued, leaving only a gentle and calm human touch.
After this period of cultivation, his cultivation level has now increased from the third level of Qi Refining to the peak of Qi Refining.
As long as you continue to cultivate and accumulate spiritual power, you will soon be able to break through the Qi Refining stage and become a Foundation Establishment cultivator.
Shen Yu raised his hand and gently waved it, and the spirit-gathering array stopped operating. He pushed open the door of the cultivation room, and the morning sunlight immediately rushed in. The soft, cheerful voices of two children could already be heard in the living room.
On the living room carpet, Niannian was lying on her stomach, drawing and painting. Her little body swayed back and forth, and she was humming a nursery rhyme she learned in kindergarten. Her chubby little feet wiggled back and forth, making her look incredibly cute.
She used her colored pencils to draw colorful patterns on the paper, while muttering to herself about her father, mother, brother, and sister in the drawing.
Not far away, at a small solid wood table, Gui Gui sat upright, holding an illustrated herbal medicine book in her hands, her little brows slightly furrowed as she read it with great concentration.
That mature and composed demeanor was just like Shen Yu's.
"dad!"
Niannian was the first to see Shen Yu come out. She immediately dropped the colored pencils in her hand and rushed over like a soft little cannonball, hugging Shen Yu's leg tightly.
Her delicate, porcelain-like face was tilted upwards, her big eyes sparkling with joy:
"Dad, you've finished your training! Look at my drawing! It's a picture of our family going to the amusement park!"
Shen Yu bent down, scooped the little girl into his arms, weighed her in his hand, and smiled as he kissed her soft cheek.
"Our daughter's drawing is so beautiful, and the colors are lovely. She's such a little artist."
The little girl, flattered by the compliment, immediately smiled broadly, wrapped her arms around his neck, and planted a big kiss on his cheek, leaving saliva on his face, but she laughed even more happily.
Shen Yu carried his daughter to his son's side, looked down at the herbal medicine chart in his son's hand, reached out and patted his little head, his voice gentle:
"Can you understand it? Is there anything you don't recognize?"
Gui Gui raised her head, her little face immediately showing a serious expression. Pointing to the herbs on the chart, she said, word by word:
"Dad, I recognize honeysuckle and dandelion, which you taught me before. But this isatis root looks a little different from the one in the book, so I can't tell them apart."
"Hmm, good question."
Shen Yu put Niannian down from his arms, pulled his son to sit on the sofa, picked up the picture book, and patiently explained it to him.
"The leaves of Isatis indigotica are oblong with shallow serrations along the edges. Although they are different parts of the same plant, they are different in both leaf shape and texture. Look here..."
He explained in great detail, and Guigui listened very attentively, nodding her little head and occasionally asking her own questions, her eyes full of curiosity about this knowledge.
Shen Yu was happy to teach him. Gui Gui was calm and composed, and naturally interested in things like herbs and metaphysics, which was very similar to Shen Yu's personality.
Teach him these things, and he will be able to protect himself and Nian Nian in the future.
Niannian, who was standing nearby, also came over and rested her little head on Shen Yu's arm. Although she couldn't understand what her younger brother and father were saying, she leaned on him quietly and occasionally showed her father her drawing. She was very well-behaved.
After spending over half an hour explaining herbal medicine to the two children and then playing with building blocks with Niannian for a while, Shen Yu checked the time and smiled at the two children, saying:
"Mom's been filming for almost a week now, are you missing her? How about we visit her on set today and surprise her?"
"good!!"
The two children cheered instantly, and Niannian immediately held up her newly drawn picture, jumping up and down and shouting:
"I want to give the painting to my mom! She'll be so happy to see it!"
Gui Gui immediately put away the diagram in her hand, a look of anticipation on her little face, and said earnestly:
"I'm going to go see my mom filming and cheer her on."
"Okay, take them all."
Shen Yu chuckled and pinched the two little ones' cheeks.
"Dad has already booked the best dessert shop in Jiangcheng to prepare afternoon tea for all the uncles and aunts in the crew. He also stewed peach gum and snow fungus soup, which is Mom’s favorite drink, and packed it in a thermal container. We’ll take it over later so Mom can drink it while it’s hot."
The two little ones immediately held hands and ran to the dressing room, wanting to change into their prettiest little clothes and look their best when they went to see their mother.
Shen Yu watched the two children's cheerful figures disappear into the distance, a gentle smile appearing on his lips.
He took out his phone and called Lu Zongming's assistant to confirm that the afternoon tea had been prepared and would be delivered to the film set on time.
She sent another message to Jiang Xinlan's assistant, Xiaomin, asking about today's filming schedule. Upon learning that there was a wire stunt scene on a ten-meter-high city wall in the afternoon, she frowned slightly.
