A female protagonist who suffers abuse in a novel? I'm flipping the table and going crazy on th

"Yes, Mr. Lu."

"Furthermore, let me emphasize again that we did not know that Wen Changming would scheme against his own daughter in this way. From now on, the Lu family will be Wen Qi's strongest support and will do everything in its power to protect Wen Qi's safety."

After hanging up the phone, Lu Zhenhua had someone draft a lawyer's letter and sent it directly to the Gu family.

They demanded compensation from the Gu family for Wen Qi's injuries and for Lu Jisheng's serious injuries, their tone firm and leaving no room for compromise.

The Lu family released an official statement, and the entire internet saw the Lu family's strong support for Wen Qi.

The statement made no mention of Wen Wen whatsoever, clearly indicating that they only wanted to salvage their reputation by protecting Wen Qi.

The Wen family.

Grandpa Wen, Wen Guodong, was sitting in the living room.

The TV in front of me was playing a replay of the coffee shop incident, and the more I watched, the angrier I got.

You idiot, you're such an idiot.

We sent him to protect Wen Qi and win her over, but we never expected him to cause such a huge mess.

They openly plotted to frame Wen Qi, and their scheme was even broadcast live across the entire internet.

More trouble than good!

Wen Guodong's phone suddenly rang.

He answered the phone: "Dr. Zhang, what's wrong?"

On the other end of the phone, Dr. Zhang's heavy voice came through: "Chairman Wen, this old gentleman abroad is nearing the end of his life. He has summoned a lawyer and is preparing to draft a will."

Wen Guodong was somewhat surprised: "The person...the person is already dying? How could it be so fast?"

"The condition suddenly worsened, and we did our best," Dr. Zhang said. "It happened in the last two weeks."

Wen Guodong: "Okay, I understand. Please keep an eye on the will. Before the news spreads overseas, you must keep a close eye on the information and prevent any news from reaching his ears in China before he passes away."

After hanging up the phone, Wen Guodong slumped onto the sofa, feeling restless.

His second wife had no children, so in his will, Changming should be the only beneficiary.

As for the 20% of the Wen family shares held by Wen Qi, Wen Guodong had no time to worry about it at the moment.

If Wen Changming inherits the second son's will.

Even if Wen Qi sells her shares, it won't have much impact on the Wen family.

The biggest problem facing the Wen family right now is how to salvage their reputation, stabilize the stock price, and clean up the mess left by Wen Changming.

As night fell, the Lu family's old mansion was deserted.

When Wen Qi returned to the old house, it was already evening.

The house was empty; Wang Cui, Lu Jisheng, and Wen Wen were still hiding in the hospital.

Lu Zhenhua did not return either.

Wen Qi sat on the sofa. She preferred lively and bustling scenes, and this quiet and deserted place made her very uncomfortable.

After thinking for a moment, she picked up her phone and dialed Wang Cui's number.

The call was answered quickly.

Wang Cui's voice was tinged with fear: "What's wrong?"

Wen Qi crossed her legs and said, "Cui'er, come back quickly. It's too quiet at home. I'm bored being alone."

Wang Cui quickly said, "I...I can't go back. Jisheng hasn't woken up yet. I have to stay at the hospital to take care of him. He's covered in injuries and can't be left alone."

Wen Qi clicked her tongue: "It's no big deal. Don't we have a family doctor? I'll have someone bring Lu Jisheng back and treat him at home."

Wang Cui panicked: "No, Ji Sheng's injuries are too severe. He can't be moved around easily. The doctor said he needs to rest and can't be disturbed!"

"Whether you can do it or not," Wen Qi said firmly, "it's settled then. I'll have someone go to the hospital to carry him tomorrow. You'd better pack your things and come back right now!"

Before Wang Cui could refute, Wen Qi hung up the phone.

In the hospital, Wang Cui held the phone that had been hung up on, on the verge of tears, her heart filled with grievance, anger, and fear.

Wen Qi is a woman of her word; she will definitely send someone to the hospital to carry Ji Sheng tomorrow.

Ji Sheng's injuries simply cannot withstand any more strain.

The doctor pushed Lu Jisheng's hospital bed out of the operating room.

Wang Cui quickly wiped away her tears and rushed forward: "Doctor, how is my son?"

The doctor's face turned grave: "The patient has multiple fractures throughout his body, the most serious being his right leg, where the bone is shattered. Complete repair will be extremely difficult."

The patient will need to actively cooperate with rehabilitation training. Whether he can recover to normal depends on his rehabilitation progress.

Wang Cui was completely stunned after hearing this.

Her mind went blank, only remembering the doctor's words that her son's right leg bone was fractured and his leg was ruined.

Overwhelmed by the shock, Wang Cui's vision went black, her legs gave way, and she fainted, collapsing to the ground.

The Lu family's old residence.

Wen Qi was exhausted both physically and mentally after a long day.

The key issue is that she still feels like she hasn't accomplished anything.

Several servants hid around the corner of the corridor, secretly pointing and whispering to Wen Qi in the center of the living room.

Butler Fang walked over respectfully with small, quick steps.

With a fawning smile plastered on his face and his back bent almost at a ninety-degree angle, he said, "Young Madam, the time clock device you ordered to be installed has been completed."

Wen Qi: "Not bad, you're quite efficient."

Butler Fang: "Young Madam, the rooms you requested have all been prepared, and the hired servants can move in at any time."

Wen Qi was even more satisfied: "Thank you for your hard work, Butler Fang."

"It's no trouble at all. It's my honor to be able to serve the young mistress," Butler Fang said with a smile that covered his face.

My heart was pounding—

These days, jobs are hard to find, but the Lu family's housekeeper job has good pay and benefits, so I can't afford to lose it.

Those who know the current affairs are handsome.

Given Wen Qi's current influence in the Lu family, she must cling tightly to this young mistress's coattails in order to secure her salary and keep her job.

The maid came over with a tray on which was a carefully prepared dinner.

The four dishes and one soup looked exquisite and appetizing.

The maid placed the dishes on the coffee table one by one: "Young Madam, dinner is ready."

Wen Qi glanced lazily at the food on the table, raising an eyebrow slightly.

It looks pretty good, but—

She glanced up at the maid standing to the side.

The maid stood properly with her hands at her sides, but her eyes couldn't help but steal glances at her.

When he met Wen Qi's gaze, his body stiffened visibly, and he hurriedly looked away, not daring to meet her eyes again.

Wen Qi: "You're fired."

The maid was taken aback and asked in surprise, "Young Madam, on what grounds are you firing me?"

Wen Qi: "Just because you spat in my food."

"What?"

Butler Fang was utterly shocked.

He looked at the maid with a shocked expression—

The maid quickly waved her hands, "Young Madam, how could I dare to do such a thing? You've wronged me!"

Wen Qi raised her chin: "No? Then you eat it yourself."

The servant stood there, stammering, not daring to move or eat.

Wen Qi was too lazy to waste words with her: "Butler Fang, take this food to a professional agency for testing. If any of the things that shouldn't be there are found, no matter what they are, sue her until she's bankrupt."

"Yes, young mistress!"

Butler Fang didn't dare to hesitate for a moment and quickly stepped forward to clear the food off the table.

Upon seeing this, the maid panicked and knelt down on the ground, pleading, "No, young mistress, it wasn't my idea to do this! It was... it was Madam's! It was all Madam's will!"

Wen Qi asked with a smile, "Oh? Wang Cui told you to spit in my bowl?"

"No...no!" The maid hurriedly shook her head, explaining incoherently, "It was Madam who called angrily this afternoon, saying she wouldn't be back tonight and that we shouldn't be too accommodating to the young mistress."

They even said... they even said they wanted us to make things unpleasant for you.

"I was confused for a moment, that's why I did it, Madam. I really know I was wrong, please forgive me this time!"

Wen Qi glanced at Butler Fang: "Butler Fang, did you hear that? Fire her, deduct all her wages. Also, do as I said and sue her. This time she can spit, next time she can poison you."

But Wen Qi was even less kind to unkind people.

The servant felt like the sky was falling and kowtowed, begging for mercy.

Wen Qi sat on the sofa, unmoved.

Butler Fang gestured for the bodyguards at the door to come in and pull the person out.

Butler Fang wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, quickly turned around, and respectfully said to Wen Qi, "Young Madam, I will definitely discipline the other servants and this will never happen again."

Wen Qi didn't say anything.

Butler Fang left to convene a meeting of the old house's servants.

Wen Qi watched as the servants shakily made their way out of the house.

These servants are all cunning and shrewd; they appear respectful on the surface, but are actually troublemakers behind the scenes.

Especially those guys in the kitchen, they're seasoned swindlers who not only have dirty hands but are also particularly malicious.

He had plenty of bad ideas; he was practically Wang Cui's best strategist.

Wen Qi picked up her phone and dialed Li Min's number.

"My dear lady, what's wrong?"

Wen Qi: "Have you found Zhang Ma and Wang Ma, whom I asked you to find?"

Upon hearing this, Li Min said helplessly, "Miss, it's only been one day, how can it be so fast?"

Our requirements are a bit high; we need someone who can withstand attacks and fight. When they heard that, they were worried about something going wrong, and two of them hesitated.

Wen Qi: "No, you need to hurry up with the price. Without my own people, I have to be extra careful with my meals every day, afraid that someone will spit in my food."

"..."

Li Min was silent for a few seconds: "Miss, then let's just skip the Lu family's food and order directly from a high-end restaurant. It'll be delivered to our home, clean and hygienic."

Wen Qi thought this was a good idea: "Alright, get on with finding that person quickly."

"Don't worry, Miss, I'll personally oversee this matter tomorrow and let you know as soon as I have any news," Li Min replied, then paused, remembering something else.

His tone turned serious: "By the way, when are you coming to the company?"

"I have a ton of things to do. What can't you handle at the company?"

Li Min said, "It's that S+ level fantasy drama 'Immortal Path' starring Wen Wen before. Our company invested a large portion of the funds in it."

Previously, Lu Jisheng had signed several endorsement deals on behalf of Wen Wen, all of which were tied to this drama.

Now that Wen Wen has encountered so many problems, this drama is currently shelved, and her endorsement deals are getting anxious.

Wen Wen is an artist signed with our company. If this drama can't be broadcast, those endorsement contracts will have to be broken.

All the compensation will have to be borne by our company, which is a huge sum of money. If we really have to pay it, our company will be crippled!

Wen Qi was shocked: "Wen Wen's contracts were all signed by Lu Jisheng?"

That idiot, he's absolutely in love.

"Yes, back then we thought Wen Wen would definitely become a big star with this drama, and the endorsements would bring a lot of revenue to the company. Who knew it would turn out like this?"

Wen Qi was speechless.

The things these two have been doing lately are definitely a testament to their unwavering love.

They loved each other so much, but now that the original owner is dead, will Lu Jisheng repent? Will he fall in love with the original owner again?

Is it possible? Is it possible?

Seeing that Wen Qi didn't speak, Li Min advised, "Miss, don't be angry. It's not worth ruining your health."

The most crucial thing right now is this drama. If it can't air, our company will suffer huge losses. Miss, think about the money; money is more reliable than people.

Wen Qi snapped out of her daze, puzzled: "Wen Wen's reputation is absolutely awful right now. Even if this drama isn't shelved, will it even be able to air?"

"It can be broadcast. Moreover, Wen Wen's popularity has reached a new high since her debut. Although it's all negative reviews, being popular even when it's negative is still popular. The higher the popularity, the more people will watch it." Li Min was certain that the drama would be profitable once it aired.

Wen Qi understood; people nowadays just love watching controversial things.

Some celebrities become more rebellious the more they are criticized, and audiences will insist on going in to see what's going on, regardless of whether it's good or bad.

Even if it's just to go in and grumble or complain, I still have to go and see, just for the sake of the excitement.

"Moreover, I checked the day before yesterday, and there's a lot of discussion about this show online right now. Many people are watching it because of the production team."

"Then broadcast it. Have someone blur Wen Wen's face. We can't let all the hard work of so many people go to waste."

"...Mosaic?" Li Min was stunned.

"Yes, mosaic."

"My dear lady, whose TV censors the female lead with mosaics?"

"The Immortal Path was born, unprecedented, and even more popular."

Li Min: "..."

Wen Qi then said, "Sister Li, please compile detailed information on all the dating shows, outdoor variety shows, and various reality shows currently on the market and send it to me. The more detailed the better."

Li Min was taken aback, then asked in confusion, "What? Miss, are you going to be on a variety show?"

"I'm not going. I'll be sending two people there in a few days."

"Who is it?" Li Min asked, even more curious. "Is it one of our company's artists? Or someone from outside?"

"It's a secret for now. I'll tell you after I've reviewed the materials and made a decision. For now, just organize the materials and send them to me."

"Alright."

I hung up the phone.

Wen Qi is now relying on Xinghai Entertainment, which has a very bright future. Several of its artists will become huge stars within three years.

The most worthless stocks right now are Wenjia Shares and Lujia Shares.

Given Wen Changming's questionable actions and his time in jail, Wen's Group's stock is likely to turn a deep green.

The fall was horribly tragic.

It has depreciated significantly.

Despite Lu Zhenhua's strong support for her, the Lu family was trying to salvage their reputation.

However, the image and expression of him sitting with Wen Changming have already had a serious impact on the Lu family.

Old Master Lu shamelessly begged for help, because the stock had just stabilized a little, and now it was sure to turn green again.

Wen Qi was somewhat worried—

The Su family disappeared just like that, and she hadn't even had a chance to sell the Wen family shares she held.

Given the current state of Wen family's stocks, even if they were to acquire them through Wanjian Group, the price would be halved compared to before.
